Trail Blazers' Bryce McGowens: Notches 37 points in G League loss
McGowens finished with 37 points (11-25 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 8-9 FT), seven rebounds, three assists, one steal and one block across 39 minutes in Monday's 112-109 G League loss to the Santa Cruz Warriors.
The two-way guard delivered a game-high mark in points, though he struggled with efficiency from three-point range. Over his last five G League Tip-Off Tournament matchups, McGowens has averaged an impressive 33.6 points, 4.4 assists and 4.2 rebounds across 36.6 minutes per game. The 22-year-old has been stellar in the G League, though he has played only three minutes for the parent club in Portland thus far.

Trail Blazers' Scoot Henderson: Flawless from FT line in return
Henderson (quadricep) provided 13 points (3-6 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 6-6 FT), two rebounds and one steal across 21 minutes in Sunday's 107-98 loss to the Lakers.
Henderson returned to the court after missing the last four games with a left quad contusion, which came after a recent three-game absence due to a back strain. The second-year guard was the first player off the bench for Portland and came through with an efficient scoring performance, highlighted by a perfect showing from the free-throw line. Though he ate into fellow reserve guard Dalano Banton's minutes in his return, Henderson may not see his playing time pick up dramatically in competitive contests if the Trail Blazers continue to run with backcourt starters Anfernee Simons and Shaedon Sharpe in 30-plus-minute roles.

Trail Blazers' Jerami Grant: Woeful showing Sunday
Grant finished with three points (1-12 FG, 1-7 3Pt), four rebounds, one assist and one steal in 32 minutes during Sunday's 107-98 loss to the Lakers.
Grant had one of the worst performances of his career Sunday, missing all but one of his 12 shots from the field en route to posting a season-low scoring mark. Grant has also failed to reach the 15-point plateau in four of his last five contests, and the veteran has endured a rocky tenure in Portland this season. He's averaging just 15.3 points per game, which would represent his lowest mark across his last five seasons by a sizable margin.

Trail Blazers' Shaedon Sharpe: Scores 19 points Sunday
Sharpe ended Sunday's 107-98 loss to the Lakers with 19 points (7-15 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 3-4 FT), seven rebounds and three assists across 34 minutes.
Even though the Trail Blazers suffered another loss, Sharpe bounced back admirably after a 10-point effort in the blowout loss to the Jazz on Friday. The former Kentucky alum has been one of the most consistent scoring weapons for a struggling Blazers team this season. He's averaging 18.5 points per game across 14 starts, though he could use an uptick in efficiency since he's making just 42.9 percent of his shots, including a meager 29.7 percent from deep.

Trail Blazers' Deandre Ayton: Grabs 19 boards, fouls out
Ayton fouled out of Sunday's 107-98 loss to the Lakers after recording 14 points (7-14 FG, 0-2 3Pt), 19 rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal in 35 minutes.
Ayton grabbed a season-high mark in rebounds before fouling out, and the big man seems to be trending in the right direction after missing seven games in a row due to a finger injury. He's averaging 16.0 points, 9.0 rebounds and 1.3 blocks per game while shooting 62 percent from the floor in his six games since returning to action.

Trail Blazers' Duop Reath: Unavailable Sunday
Reath (back) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Lakers.
Reath is officially out after he was initially added to the team's injury report as doubtful due to back soreness. He logged 25 minutes in Portland's last matchup Friday against Utah, so it'll likely be up to Deandre Ayton and Jabari Walker to eat up extra minutes at center Sunday night.

Trail Blazers' Toumani Camara: Cleared to play Sunday
Camara (foot) is listed as available for Sunday's game against the Lakers.
Camara is good to go after initially being listed as doubtful for the contest. The 24-year-old sustained a foot injury during Friday's loss to the Jazz after playing only eight minutes, but that won't stop him from playing Sunday. Camara has started in all 23 of his regular-season appearances thus far, though it is unclear if he'll operate under a minutes restriction against the Lakers.

Trail Blazers' Scoot Henderson: Gets green light
Henderson (quadriceps) will play Sunday against the Lakers.
Henderson will return to action after missing his team's last four matchups while on the mend from a bruised left quad. He's expected to be deployed off the bench Sunday evening.

Trail Blazers' Toumani Camara: Upgraded to questionable
Camara (foot) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Lakers.
Camara left Friday's loss to the Jazz after only eight minutes and was initially listed as doubtful for Sunday's contest. He's started all 23 of his appearances this season, averaging 30.0 minutes per game. If he's sidelined for the first time this season, Deni Avdija would likely draw another start.

Trail Blazers' Duop Reath: Listed doubtful for Sunday
Reath is doubtful for Sunday's game against the Lakers due to back soreness.
Reath played a season-high 25 minutes in the 141-99 loss to the Jazz on Friday, posting eight points and five rebounds. The doubtful tag suggests the big man isn't likely to play Sunday, and if that's the case, Deandre Ayton would be the only healthy center available for Portland.

Trail Blazers' Scoot Henderson: Questionable for Sunday's contest
Henderson (quadriceps) is questionable to play Sunday against the Lakers.
Henderson has missed the Trail Blazers' last four games due to a left quadriceps contusion. Even though the questionable tag is encouraging, it wouldn't be surprising if he's not ready to return. Dalano Banton is expected to continue to see increased playing time off the bench if Henderson is unable to suit up.

Trail Blazers' Robert Williams: Another absence coming
Williams (concussion) is out for Sunday's game against the Lakers.
Williams will miss a sixth straight game due to a concussion, and the Trail Blazers aren't going to speed up his recovery process. Williams' next chance to suit up will come against the Spurs on Friday, Dec. 13.

Trail Blazers' Toumani Camara: Doubtful for Sunday
Camara (foot) is doubtful for Sunday's game against the Lakers.
Camara injured his right foot in the first quarter of Friday's 140-99 loss to the Jazz and has been diagnosed with a sprain, although the doubtful tag suggests his chances of playing are slim. In Camara's likely absence, Deni Avdija will likely step into the Trail Blazers' starting lineup while Kris Murray and Rayan Rupert will see an uptick in playing time off the bench.

Trail Blazers' Anfernee Simons: Shooting woes continue
Simons racked up 14 points (6-15 FG, 2-7 3Pt), five rebounds and five assists across 28 minutes during Friday's 141-99 loss to Utah.
Simons is firmly entrenched as one of the Blazers' top options on offense, but the star guard has been struggling massively from the field. His volume has typically been high enough to keep him around the 15-point or 20-point mark on a regular basis, but that hasn't been the case of late due to his shooting woes. Simons has failed to reach the 15-point mark in four of his last eight contests and is shooting just 30.8 percent from the floor in his last two games, both contests in which the Blazers have lost by at least 20 points.

Trail Blazers' Jerami Grant: Posts 19 points in loss Friday
Grant accumulated 19 points (6-11 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 3-3 FT), three rebounds, one assist and three blocks across 28 minutes during Friday's 141-99 loss to Utah.
The Trail Blazers looked completely overmatched Friday, and that limited Grant's minutes, but the veteran forward still managed to deliver a solid fantasy line. This was his best scoring output since returning from a two-game absence in late November due to a knee injury, but the days of Grant being a 20-point scorer seem to be gone. Grant has reached that threshold just once across his last nine appearances.

Trail Blazers' Dalano Banton: Scores 19 points off bench Friday
Banton supplied 19 points (7-17 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 2-3 FT), three rebounds, four assists and one steal over 27 minutes during Friday's 141-99 loss to the Jazz.
Banton had a strong performance Friday despite the 42-point loss, and even though his scoring prowess has rarely translated to wins for the Trail Blazers, it makes him a decent streaming option in most fantasy formats. Banton has been seeing the floor on a more consistent basis lately, and the numbers back that decision up. He's played at least 20 minutes in six of his last seven appearances, a span in which the former Nebraska standout is averaging 12.1 points, 3.1 rebounds and 3.1 assists per game while shooting 37.5 percent from deep.

Trail Blazers' Toumani Camara: Getting imaging on right foot
Portland head coach Chauncey Billups said after Friday's 140-99 loss to the Jazz that Camara will undergo an MRI on his right foot, Casey Holdahl of the Trail Blazers' official site reports. He finished the contest with zero points (0-4 FG, 0-4 3Pt), one assist and one steal in eight minutes before injuring his foot late in the first quarter.
The results of the MRI should help determine Camara's recovery time, and his potential absence could open the door for Deni Avdija, Kris Murray and Rayan Rupert to step into elevated roles. An update on Camara's status should come Saturday, but for the time being, his status for Sunday's game against the Lakers would seem to be in doubt.
