Scoot Henderson Tagged As Questionable On Friday
Scoot Henderson (quad) is dealing with a quad contusion and is considered questionable for the team's Friday night matchup with the Utah Jazz. The second-year point guard has missed the last three consecutive games with the same issue. Unfortunately, he hasn't seen as much playing time as his rookie season, but he has been a solid source of assists in deeper leagues. In place of Henderson, Dalano Banton has seen increased playing time along with the starters seeing more opportunities, such as Shaedon Sharpe and Anfernee Simons.

Scoot Henderson Misses Third Consecutive Game Thursday
Scoot Henderson (concussion) will remain sidelined for Thursday's meeting with the Toronto Raptors. He is still in concussion protocol, sitting out a third consecutive game. With Henderson no longer in the lineup, Dalano Banton has taken on a larger role. He was busy at both ends in Tuesday's 127-113 win over the Atlanta Hawks, although a 4-for-15 effort from the field limited Banton's scoring output. He finished with 11 points, seven rebounds, five assists, and four blocks.

Scoot Henderson Unavailable Tuesday
Scoot Henderson (concussion) will be absent for a second consecutive game on Tuesday against the Atlanta Hawks. He must clear concussion protocol before being eligible to return to the court. Due to Henderson's absence, Dalano Banton and Matisse Thybulle could pick up extra shifts in the rotation. However, Portland relied heavily on its starters in Sunday's game against the New York Knicks, with only a combined 31 minutes shared between Banton and Thybulle.

Scoot Henderson Out On Sunday
Scoot Henderson (concussion) won't play on Sunday against the Knicks. He's now in concussion protocol, although his return to the floor could hinge on Portland's ability to earn a Play-In spot. With Anfernee Simons (forearm) questionable, the Blazers could be even more thin in the backcourt. But regardless of Simons' availability, Dalano Banton could see some meaningful minutes.

Scoot Henderson Back In Action On Thursday
Scoot Henderson (ankle) is available ahead of Thursday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers. Henderson was able to fully practice on Wednesday and is ready to play again after sitting out the final game before the All-Star break. Henderson certainly isn't the most consistent fantasy option, but he did have a solid stretch of play earlier this month. Fantasy managers who have Henderson rostered can get him active in their lineups ahead of tip-off on Thursday.
