Scoot

Henderson

Banton has missed four of the team’s last five games, which has allowed Scoot Henderson to play a few extra minutes off the bench. If Banton returns for this one, Henderson, who has been playing well, will lose out on a few minutes.

Henderson is on a roll. The Trail Blazers point guard hit a game winner against the Jazz before recording a career-high five steals against the Mavericks. He’s averaged 15.8 points, 5.3 assists, and 3.5 rebounds over his previous four games.

Banton has missed three of their last four games, but his role when healthy is much smaller than it was earlier in the year. Scoot Henderson should play a few extra minutes off the bench if Banton is sidelined again.

Henderson had a special night, capping one of the best floor games in his young NBA career with a game-winning turnaround with one-tenth of a second remaining. He recorded his first double-double of the season while committing one turnover. With Anfernee Simons struggling for most of the night, Portland went with Scoot in crunch time, and he answered the call.

Henderson has appeared on only two of Portland’s last nine games, so the limited workload on Sunday should not be a surprise. For the season, he’s ranked just inside the top 200 in 9-cat formats, which isn’t good enough to merit consideration in standard leagues. Henderson’s current rostered percentage (20%) is unlikely to increase as long as starter Anfernee Simons is healthy.

Henderson is back after having missed seven of Portland’s last eight games. He’ll slide back into the backup point guard role, with Dalano Banton missing out on some playing time. Camara was a late addition to the injury report but has been cleared to play. He’ll occupy his usual place in the starting lineup.

Henderson has missed seven of Portland’s last eight games. His availability impacts Dalano Banton the most. If Scoot remains sidelined, Banton is worth a look in deep leagues despite backing up Anfernee Simons.

Initially questionable for Friday’s game, Henderson has been ruled out. He’s appeared in one of Portland’s last eight games, with his absence freeing up additional minutes for Dalano Banton. While Banton is a risky streaming play, he could perform well in this matchup.

Henderson has missed six of Portland’s last seven games, with his only action coming on November 27. If Scoot remains sidelined, Dalano Banton will again play a more prominent role off the bench. Banton is only worth a look in extremely deep leagues.

This will be a third straight absence for Henderson, who has now missed six of their last seven games. Dalano Banton should once again play a large role off the bench in his place.
