SCOOT HENDERSON NEWS

Comes close to triple-double Henderson racked up 25 points (8-15 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 6-8 FT), seven rebounds, eight assists and two steals over 38 minutes during Sunday's 113-102 victory over the Bulls.

Impact Henderson moved to the starting lineup for this contest due to the absence of Anfernee Simons (elbow), and the second-year guard extended his impressive stretch of play. Since going scoreless in a loss to the Pistons on Jan. 7, Henderson has scored at least 20 points in four of his last seven contests, averaging 19.6 points, 6.1 assists, 3.6 rebounds and 1.3 steals per contest.

Will start Sunday Henderson is in the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Bulls, Danny Marang of 1080 The Fan Portland reports.

Impact The Blazers won't have Anfernee Simons (elbow) available Sunday, so Henderson will return to the starting lineup as his replacement at point guard. Henderson has made five starts this season, averaging 16.2 points, 7.0 assists, 2.8 rebounds and 1.2 steals per game in those contests.

Logs team-high 21 points from bench Henderson registered 21 points (6-11 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 6-6 FT), five rebounds, 11 assists, three blocks and one steal in 31 minutes during Saturday's 125-103 loss to Houston.

Impact During a rare night of tepid totals from Portland's backcourt, Henderson stepped in and provided a much-needed spark to the offense. The 2023 first-round pick logged his second double-double of the season in the loss, and the youngster is excelling in a sixth-man role. It's only a matter of time before Henderson becomes a full-time starter, but barring a trade deadline move or a significant injury, he's unlikely to assume the role this season.

Back to bench Saturday Henderson is not in the starting lineup Saturday against the Rockets.

Impact After starting the last two games for the Trail Blazers, the second-year guard will come off the bench against Houston. The 20-year-old guard has started five games for Portland this season, averaging 16.2 points, 2.8 rebounds and 7.0 assists per game in that role. He had been starting in place of Deni Avdija (ankle), who is still on the mend, but the team is going with Jerami Grant as a starter in his return Saturday.

Scores 16 points Thursday Henderson amassed 16 points (6-14 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds, six assists and one steal over 32 minutes during Thursday's 118-89 loss to the Clippers.

Impact Henderson finished Thursday's lopsided loss as the Blazers' second-best scorer behind Dalano Banton, who finished with 23 points across 25 minutes off the bench. Henderson has been playing well in recent weeks and has surpassed the 15-point mark in three of his last four appearances. He's averaging 14.0 points, 4.8 assists and 3.3 rebounds per game in January.

Posts career high in loss Henderson supplied 39 points (13-18 FG, 8-10 3Pt, 5-8 FT), six assists, four rebounds and two steals across 39 minutes in Tuesday's 132-114 loss to the Nets.

Impact Henderson was on fire the entire game, posting a career-high 39 points, albeit in a losing effort. The 20-year-old received the starting nod for the first time since Nov. 20 with Deni Avdija (ankle) sidelined. Henderson made the most of his opportunity and buried eight triples -- his previous high this season had been only three. The second-year pro has faced his fair share of struggles this year, though his production Tuesday is a step in the right direction for the No. 3 pick in the 2023 Draft.

Enters starting lineup Tuesday Henderson is in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Nets, Casey Holdahl of the Trail Blazers' official site reports.

Impact With Deni Avdija (ankle) sidelined Tuesday, Henderson will draw his first start for the Blazers since Nov. 20. The former lottery pick is averaging 8.7 points, 7.7 assists, 2.7 rebounds and 1.0 steals in 27.9 minutes over three games with Portland's first unit this year.

Hits for 20 points in reserve role Henderson ended Thursday's 117-111 loss to the Mavericks with 20 points (3-7 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 12-12 FT), two rebounds, four assists and one steal in 26 minutes.

Impact Henderson has bounced back effectively after going scoreless against the Pistons earlier in the week. Henderson is a key piece of Portland's future plans, but his fantasy outlook is capped due to excellent results from Anfernee Simons and Shaedon Sharpe. Although he's excelled with some encouraging numbers as a backup, he lacks the consistency needed for consideration in most fantasy formats.

Posts a dud Henderson ended with zero points (0-2 FG, 0-1 3Pt), one rebound and three assists over 19 minutes during Monday's 118-115 loss to the Pistons.

Impact Henderson was held without a point for the first time this season in what was arguably his worst performance of the campaign. He had a strong end to December, but his performance in January has left a lot to be desired so far with averages of 7.0 points, 4.7 assists, 4.3 rebounds and 0.7 triples in his last three outings.

Dishes out eight dimes Henderson accumulated 12 points (4-7 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 3-4 FT), five rebounds, eight assists, one block and one steal across 32 minutes during Thursday's 114-106 loss to the Lakers.

Impact Henderson's 32 minutes played were his most since Nov. 27. The 20-year-old guard capitalized on this increased playing time by recording a team-high eight assists while coming off the bench. Even with Henderson's efficient outing, he is shooting just 38.0 percent from the field over his last 10 appearances.

Steals five balls in victory Henderson produced 19 points (8-15 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 1-3 FT), four rebounds, six assists, one block and five steals in 29 minutes during Saturday's 126-122 victory over the Mavericks.

Impact It's only a matter of time before Henderson earns a leading role in Portland, but fantasy managers in a dynasty setup will have to settle for a second-unit role for the time being. Despite encouraging reserve numbers for the Trail Blazers, Henderson has a very talented backcourt ahead of him on the depth chart, making it difficult for him to break 30 minutes consistently.

Posts solid numbers in backcourt Henderson chipped in 14 points (4-11 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 4-4 FT), six rebounds, four assists and one steal over 26 minutes during Monday's 132-108 loss to the Mavericks.

Impact Henderson was a valuable reservist amid mediocre results from Anfernee Simons and Shaedon Sharpe. Although Simons and Sharpe are locked into first-unit roles, the former first-round pick is proving his worth as a backup. The youngster skipped college and went pro right out of high school, and his coronation as Damian Lillard's heir apparent was a bit premature. He's a key piece of Portland's future plans, but he's only on the cusp of fantasy consideration as he develops with the second unit.

Flawless from FT line in return Henderson (quadricep) provided 13 points (3-6 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 6-6 FT), two rebounds and one steal across 21 minutes in Sunday's 107-98 loss to the Lakers.

Impact Henderson returned to the court after missing the last four games with a left quad contusion, which came after a recent three-game absence due to a back strain. The second-year guard was the first player off the bench for Portland and came through with an efficient scoring performance, highlighted by a perfect showing from the free-throw line. Though he ate into fellow reserve guard Dalano Banton's minutes in his return, Henderson may not see his playing time pick up dramatically in competitive contests if the Trail Blazers continue to run with backcourt starters Anfernee Simons and Shaedon Sharpe in 30-plus-minute roles.

Questionable to face LAL Henderson (quadriceps) is questionable to play Sunday against the Lakers.

Impact Henderson has missed the Trail Blazers' last four games due to a left quadriceps contusion. Even though the questionable tag is encouraging, it wouldn't be surprising if he's not ready to return. Dalano Banton is expected to continue to see increased playing time off the bench if Henderson is unable to suit up.
