Damian Lillard - Iffy for TuesdayLillard (calf) is questionable for Tuesday's game against New York.

ImpactLillard was held out of Sunday's loss in New Orleans due to the inflamed right calf, and his status remains up in the air for Tuesday's clash. He'll likely be re-evaluated after the Trail Blazers' morning shootaround Tuesday before the team makes a call on his status ahead of the 10 p.m. ET tipoff. If Lillard can't play versus the Knicks, Anfernee Simons would likely shift over from shooting guard once again to run point.

Jerami Grant - Added to injury reportGrant is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Knicks due to a left quadriceps contusion.

ImpactGrant was held to 19 minutes during Sunday's matchup against the Pelicans, so it's possible the injury limited him in his squad's last matchup. The Blazers will monitor his activity in morning shootaround and pregame warmups to determine his availability for Tuesday evening.

Brandon Ingram - Questionable TuesdayIngram (ankle) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Lakers.

ImpactIngram has missed the last two games due to his sprained right ankle, but he'll be in the mix to return to action against the Lakers. If he's sidelined once again, Naji Marshall, Jaxson Hayes and Dyson Daniels are candidates to maintain increased playing time.

Ryan Arcidiacono - Makes return from back injuryArcidiacono (back) logged 17 minutes in Sunday's 127-110 loss to the Pelicans, finishing with five points (2-3 FG, 1-1 3Pt), one rebound, one assist and one steal.

ImpactAfter missing the Blazers' last eight games with a lower-back injury, Arcidiacono was cleared ahead of the opening tip and ended up settling in as the top backup behind starting point guard Anfernee Simons. Damian Lillard sat out Sunday with a calf injury and could be back in action for Tuesday's game against the Knicks, and if that's the case, Arcidiacono will be a prime candidate to move out of the rotation entirely.

Larry Nance Jr. - Gets light run in returnNance (ankle) played eight minutes and finished with two points (1-1 FG) and two rebounds in Sunday's 127-110 win over Portland.

ImpactPlaying for the first time since Feb. 25 after missing the previous six games with a left ankle sprain, Nance received his second-fewest minutes of the season. Considering that Nance racked up three fouls during his limited time on the court before the game devolved into a blowout by the end of the third quarter, head coach Willie Green likely made a deliberate choice to restrict the big man's minutes. Nance should see his playing time pick up in future games, but he'll likely need a consistent 25-plus-minute role before he re-emerges as a pickup in most 12-team leagues.

Herbert Jones - Playing time recovers SundayJones finished Sunday's 127-110 win over the Trail Blazers with 16 points (7-9 FG, 2-4 3Pt), seven assists, four rebounds and two steals in 31 minutes.

ImpactAfter foul trouble limited him to just 18 minutes one night earlier in a 110-96 loss to the Thunder, Jones saw his playing time and production pick back up Sunday in a major way. Jones has now eclipsed 30 minutes in six of his last seven games, and the numbers he's provided over that stretch (10.1 points, 5.3 rebounds, 3.9 assists, 1.6 steals, 1.0 three-pointers and 0.6 blocks per contest) has been solid enough to make him an appealing back-end roster piece in 12-team category leagues.
