The Portland Trail Blazers will host the Orlando Magic for the first and only time this year. More Blazers: Blazers’ Scoot Henderson Earns Huge Honor at NBA All-Star Weekend The Balzers will look to earn their 19th win of the season and sixth in their last seven games.

Henderson had an excellent run about two weeks ago, and then he had a few quiet games that likely scared managers. However, after scoring 25 points with five 3-pointers on Sunday, Scoot had a really efficient performance against the Bucks. They’ll unleash him at some point, though we’re hoping it’ll be sooner rather than later.

Grant injured his right ankle in Tuesday's win against the Bucks. The veteran is dealing with soreness in that ankle, which puts his status in doubt for Thursday's matchup against Orlando. If he can't play against the Magic, Toumani Camara, Shaedon Sharpe, and Deni Avdija could see more time on the floor for Portland.

Sharpe closed Tuesday's 125-112 win over the Bucks with 17 points (6-14 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, three assists and two steals in 31 minutes. Sharpe had been ice cold prior to Tuesday, so this performance was a step in the right direction.

Portland Trail Blazers coach Chauncey Billups announced before Sunday night’s game against the Chicago Bulls that guard Shaedon Sharpe was ... Deni Avdija, Jerami Grant and Deandre Ayton.

Portland stretched its lead to 97-82 on Shaedon Sharpe's 3-pointer with 7:36 left ... Portland tied it at 45 on Jerami Grant's 3 and it was even at 53 going into the break. Portland, playing the second of a back-to back, pulled ahead early in the second ...

The third-year guard, who lost his starting job because of frequent defensive lapses, responded with a strong performance.

Portland Trail Blazers guard Scoot Henderson found himself in the starting lineup during Thursday night’s 119-90 win over the Orlando Magic, and he came through with another standout performance.

Scoot Henderson's performance in the Blazers' win over the Magic was a reminder that Portland needs to trade Anfernee Simons to build around Scoot.

Portland beats Milwaukee 125-112 with Avdija’s season-high 30 points, taking down Lillard’s Bucks in their second matchup since the trade.

Grant won't return to Tuesday's game against the Bucks due to a right ankle injury. Grant appeared to injure his ankle in the first half, though he started the second half before taking a seat with 10:04 remaining in the third quarter.
