Portland Trail Blazers forward Jerami Grant (calf) will miss Thursday's game against New Orleans, extending his recent absence due to a lingering calf strain. His continued absence should keep Scoot Henderson in an elevated role after the young guard produced 15 points with three three-pointers in 29 minutes in the last win over the Clippers and 21 points with seven assists in a prior start. Henderson shapes up as a strong short-term points and assists streamer, while Deni Avdija and Jrue Holiday could also see slightly higher offensive workloads until Grant returns.

Portland Trail Blazers forward Jerami Grant (calf) will miss Tuesday's game against the Clippers, marking his second straight absence. His absence should continue to open minutes and usage for Scoot Henderson, who moved into the starting group Sunday and responded with 21 points and seven assists. Henderson shapes up as a strong short-term fantasy play for points and assists while Grant remains out. Deni Avdija could take on a bit more of the scoring load, while Toumani Camara may see a small bump in minutes as Portland looks for ways to cover Grant's absence.

Portland Trail Blazers forward Jerami Grant (calf) won't play on Sunday against the Washington Wizards. He injured his right calf in Friday's loss to Dallas and might be out for several games. Sidy Cissoko could rejoin the starting lineup on Sunday, while Matisse Thybulle and Kris Murray are also candidates for increased roles. Still, even as a starter, Cissoko hasn't been productive enough to make a difference in fantasy leagues, averaging 7.3 points, 3.0 rebounds, and 1.4 assists in the first unit this season.

Portland Trail Blazers forward Jerami Grant (foot) will play on Wednesday against the Milwaukee Bucks. The veteran has missed two games due to a sore left foot and was initially listed as questionable for Wednesday's contest. Grant's return will affect the playing time of Sidy Cissoko and Kris Murray. This month, Grant has been inconsistent, but he was on fire in his most recent outing, notching 26 points on 62.5 percent shooting against Minnesota. One of Grant's best offensive performances of the season was against Milwaukee earlier in the season when he had 35 points in 31 minutes.

Portland Trail Blazers forward Jerami Grant (foot) is unavailable for Monday's matchup against the Brooklyn Nets. Grant is set to miss his second consecutive contest due to left foot soreness. His next chance to return to the floor is on Wednesday against the Bucks. While Grant is out of action, Matisse Thybulle and Kris Murray will likely take on extra playing time, while Sidy Cissoko should start for the second game in a row this evening. In his last appearance, the 21-year-old French forward logged seven points, two rebounds and one assist across 19 minutes in Sunday's 128-112 loss to the Nuggets.

Portland Trail Blazers forwards Jerami Grant (Achilles) and Sidy Cissoko (illness) will be active against the Miami Heat on Thursday night. Both were listed as questionable on the injury report. A couple of hours before tip-off, Portland upgraded Grant and Cissoko to probable, and they have now been listed as available. Grant will rejoin the action after missing the second leg of a back-to-back on Sunday against the Sacramento Kings. Cissoko has started seven consecutive games, but with Grant and Jrue Holiday back from lengthy injury absences, he may soon lose his spot in the first unit.

Portland Trail Blazers forward Jerami Grant (Achilles) is considered questionable for the first leg of a back-to-back on Saturday night against the Los Angeles Lakers. On Thursday, Grant ended a 14-game absence against the Atlanta Hawks, and the team understandably doesn't want to overwork the veteran so soon after his return. If Grant shakes off the questionable tag and plays, there's a strong chance he will sit out Sunday's contest against the Sacramento Kings. Due to Grant's health issues, Sidy Cissoko has seen increased minutes, starting five consecutive games. Cissoko should still play a significant role even if Grant remains in the lineup, as Deni Avdija (back) is likely to miss the Lakers game.

Portland Trail Blazers forward Jerami Grant (Achilles) has spent about a month recovering from left Achilles tendonitis, but he was listed as probable for his team's home game against the Hawks on Thursday night. Grant will likely carry as much of the offense as he can with Deni Avdija (back) still absent for a second straight game. After so long a layoff, Grant will likely have a minutes restriction, but the veteran showed he can still post good numbers by averaging 21.6 points, 5.1 rebounds, 3.0 assists, and 0.8 blocks in 32.9 minutes per contest over his last 13 appearances. Sidy Cissoko is most likely heading to the bench Thursday with Caleb Love starting for Avdija, although the Blazers could opt to keep Cissoko in the starting five and slide Grant into Avdija's spot.

Portland Trail Blazers forward Jerami Grant (Achilles) will remain out on Tuesday night against the Golden State Warriors. The team ruled Grant out for the contest after initially listing him as doubtful. Grant hasn't played since mid-December and will miss his 14th consecutive game due to left Achilles tendinitis. Sidy Cissoko is poised to make another start in Grant's absence, while the entire group must also cover for Deni Avdija (back) on Tuesday night. Grant's next chance to return will be on Thursday against the Atlanta Hawks.

Portland Trail Blazers forward Jerami Grant (Achilles) is listed as doubtful for Tuesday's matchup against the Golden State Warriors. The veteran appears to be making progress in his attempt to return from an Achilles problem. Still, the doubtful tag suggests Grant will sit out his 14th consecutive game on Tuesday. Sidy Cissoko is poised to maintain a more prominent role against Golden State, especially with Deni Avdija (back) out of the lineup for this one.

Portland Trail Blazers forward Jerami Grant (Achilles) will remain inactive for Friday's game against Houston, set to miss his 12th straight contest. Grant has not played since Dec. 18 and continues to be ruled out a day in advance, with Sunday against New York his next chance to return. His absence has opened up consistent wing minutes. Rookie Caleb Love has stepped into a larger role, averaging 16.1 points, 3.3 rebounds, 2.7 assists, and 3.4 three-pointers in 29.3 minutes over his last nine games. Love remains a viable short-term stream, while Grant is a stash as managers wait for clearer updates.

Portland Trail Blazers forward Jerami Grant (Achilles) will miss an eighth consecutive game on Friday as he continues to deal with tendonitis in his left Achilles. The veteran forward has battled with injuries for most of his career, but has posted 20.0 points, 4.0 rebounds, and 2.7 assists per game through 26 appearances this season. While Grant and the Blazers deal with a plethora of injuries, Sidy Cissoko, Caleb Love, and Kris Murray will all see added opportunities. Cissoko has received the starting nod the past two games, and has averaged 7.6 points, 2.6 rebounds, and 1.3 assists per game in his 12 total starts. Caleb Love, on the other hand, has averaged 10.1 points, 2.1 assists, and 1.9 rebounds per contest in the month of December, so fantasy managers will have to decide based on what category they need most for a streamer.

Portland Trail Blazers forward Jerami Grant (Achilles) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Pelicans, extending his absence to eight straight contests with left Achilles tendonitis. Grant is traveling with the team, keeping a Saturday return against the Spurs in play, but his status remains fluid. His continued absence leaves Portland thin at forward, though fantasy returns have been limited. Kris Murray has averaged 27.9 minutes with 7.6 points and 4.3 rebounds over his last seven, while Sidy Cissoko has logged 21.9 minutes with 6.9 points and 2.0 assists. Both remain inconsistent deep-league streamers, with Deni Avdija carrying the most stable usage.

The 31-year-old veteran remains without a timetable to return, putting his status for Friday's clash with the New Orleans Pelicans in doubt. Forward Kris Murray (quad), who has started at times during Grant's absence, is questionable and is in danger of missing his second straight game. With Grant still out and Murray potentially sidelined, Sidy Cissoko could draw another start this evening.

Portland Trail Blazers forward Jerami Grant (Achilles) is slated to miss a sixth consecutive game with left Achilles tendonitis on Monday night against the Dallas Mavericks. The veteran remains without a timetable to return, putting his status for Wednesday's matchup with the Oklahoma City Thunder also in doubt. Forward Kris Murray (quad), who has started during Grant's absence, is questionable. Murray hasn't taken advantage of his increased minutes (7.2 points per game in his last five starts), and Sidy Cissoko likely won't either if he's forced into the lineup.

Portland Trail Blazers forward Jerami Grant (Achilles) won't be in the lineup for a fifth consecutive game on Sunday against the Boston Celtics. The veteran is struggling to shake off soreness in his left Achilles tendon. Kris Murray's workload has recently increased as Grant's replacement in the starting lineup, but his fantasy production has been disappointing at 7.8 points, 4.8 rebounds, and 1.5 steals per game. Sidy Cissoko has played more off the bench during Grant's absence.

Portland Trail Blazers forward Jerami Grant (Achilles) will miss Friday's matchup against the Clippers, extending his absence to a fourth straight game. Grant has been sidelined with left Achilles tendonitis and is not expected back until at least Sunday. If he remains out, Portland would likely continue redistributing forward minutes, with Kris Murray (neck) positioned for extended run if cleared. Murray logged 13 points, six rebounds, one assist, and one block in 28 minutes last time out, but his questionable tag keeps the rotation fluid.

Portland Trail Blazers forward Jerami Grant (Achilles) has been ruled out for Monday's contest against the Detroit Pistons. Grant is set to miss his second straight game due to left Achilles tendon soreness. The 12-year veteran has played in 26 games this season, averaging 20 points, 4.0 rebounds, and 2.7 assists in a little over 30 minutes per game. With Grant ruled out, expect second-year forward Kris Murray to start once again, and other starters like Deni Avdija, Shaedon Sharpe, and Toumani Camera to see a jump in fantasy value as well. With Portland facing the Orlando Magic as part of a back-to-back, fantasy managers could be without Grant until after Christmas.

Portland Trail Blazers forward Jerami Grant (Achilles) is listed as questionable for Monday's meeting with his former team, the Detroit Pistons. Grant is dealing with a sore left Achilles tendon, which may keep him sidelined for a second consecutive contest. Kris Murray started in Grant's place on Saturday against the Sacramento Kings but didn't do a lot, finishing with nine points, three rebounds, and two steals in 36 minutes. Sidy Cissoko also has a chance to see more action without Grant, but his impact on Saturday was even smaller than Murray's.

Portland Trail Blazers forward Jerami Grant (Achilles) has been ruled out for Saturday's encounter with the Sacramento Kings. The veteran has had a heavy workload lately and will take Saturday night off due to a sore left Achilles tendon. Portland listed Grant as questionable on the initial injury report. Kris Murray has been announced as Grant's replacement in the starting lineup. While a starting role increases Murray's fantasy appeal, his numbers haven't improved much in the first unit. Across three previous starts this season, Murray has averaged 7.7 points, 6.3 rebounds, and 1.0 steals in 29.7 minutes.
