Henderson will miss at least one game after landing in the league’s concussion protocol. While his absence does not change anything regarding Anfernee Simons’ status as the starting point guard, Henderson not playing likely means more playing time for Dalano Banton. Banton is not a must-stream player in this spot, but that would change if Simons also misses Sunday’s game. Simons is questionable with a sore right forearm.

Simons has been upgraded from questionable to available for Sunday’s game. His return pushes Scoot Henderson to the bench, but the second-year guard won’t lack playing time despite being used in a reserve role. Those who have Scoot rostered should hold onto him.

Clingan and Simons did not play in Friday’s win over the Nuggets, so the Trail Blazers used a smaller lineup to compensate for the former’s absence. Kris Murray and Scoot Henderson started against Denver and will likely retain their roles if Clingan and Simons remain out.

Simons was a late addition to the injury report, so it isn’t surprising that he will be held out. Scoot Henderson should slide into the starting point guard role, with Dalano Banton taking on extra minutes off the bench.
