Trail Blazers' Jerami Grant: Tallies season high in assists
Rotowire
Grant finished with 16 points (5-15 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 3-3 FT), five rebounds and six assists in 33 minutes during Wednesday's 122-110 victory over the Cavaliers.
Grant recorded a season high of six assists and has been a strong contributor for the Trail Blazers since moving into the starting lineup Nov. 16. It wasn't the veteran's most efficient night as a scorer, but he made an impact as a facilitator. The 31-year-old forward has scored in double figures in eight of the past nine games and remains a solid fantasy option while Jrue Holiday (calf) is sidelined.

Trail Blazers' Jerami Grant: Keeps producing in second-unit role
Rotowire
Grant totaled 18 points (5-9 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 7-8 FT), three rebounds, four assists and one steal in 22 minutes before fouling out of Saturday's 136-131 loss to the Heat.

The veteran forward has surpassed the 15-point mark coming off the bench in each of his nine regular-season appearances to date while shooting over 50 percent from the floor and above 40 percent from three-point range. It's still early in the season, but Grant has been one of the best bench scorers in the league in the opening weeks of the campaign.

The Trail Blazers have a shot to be relevant this season, so they may put their youth-based rebuild on hold and keep Grant around. His bench production has been invaluable in the early stages of the season, and the eighth-year pro shows no sign of stopping.
