Scoot Henderson

Banton will be sidelined for the first time in nearly a month, but his absence won't have a dramatic impact on the team's rotation. Scoot Henderson will likely pick up a few extra minutes off the bench with Banton unavailable.

Avdija aggravated the quad injury he suffered during Portland's February 26 game against the Wizards and will not return to Wednesday's game. He logged 23 minutes before exiting, finishing with 12 points, six rebounds, two assists, two blocks and one three-pointer. Avdija's absence has led to fellow starters Anfernee Simons and Shaedon Sharpe playing more minutes, and Scoot Henderson will have added value if Deni misses time.

Avdija injured his left quad during the first quarter of Wednesday's game, with the Trail Blazers announcing early in the third that he would not return. Shaedon Sharpe started the second half in Avdija's place and appears to be the replacement if Deni misses time. Also in line for an increase in playing would be Scoot Henderson.

Avdija took a hit to his left quad during the first quarter of Wednesday's game. While he remained in the game then, the Blazers forward eventually headed back to the locker room for further examination. Avdija is now questionable to return, and Kris Murray has entered the rotation. If Avdija misses time, Murray or Scoot Henderson will likely replace him in the starting lineup, with the latter offering a much higher fantasy ceiling.

Henderson, a full participant in Wednesday's practice, returns after sitting out Portland's last game before the All-Star break. While he will come off the bench, the second-year guard should approach 30 minutes. Henderson is worth rostering, as there could come a point later in the season when the Blazers decide to rest some of their more established players.
