Trail Blazers' Scoot Henderson: Fails to score in Game 4 loss
Rotowire
Henderson chipped in zero points (0-7 FG, 0-3 3Pt), two assists and one steal in 27 minutes during Sunday's 114-93 loss to the Spurs in Game 4 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.
Henderson couldn't hit the side of a barn, missing all seven of his shot attempts as the Trail Blazers fell behind 3-1 in the series. The forgettable performance was in stark contrast to the first three games of the series for Henderson, as he averaged 23.3 points, 2.0 rebounds, 1.3 assists and 1.0 steals while shooting 56.5 percent, including 52.2 percent from behind the arc. Given that body of work, Henderson should have a solid chance of bouncing back in a potential elimination scenario for Portland in Game 5.

It was another impressive performance from long range for Henderson, who has come out firing for the Blazers in the series. Over his first three career playoff contests, the third-year guard is averaging 23.3 points, 4.0 threes, 2.0 boards, 1.3 assists and 1.0 steals while shooting a blistering 52.2 percent (12-for-23) from beyond the arc.
Trail Blazers' Scoot Henderson: Paces Portland in win
Rotowire
Henderson amassed 31 points (11-17 FG, 5-9 3Pt, 4-6 FT), one rebound, one steal and one block across 38 minutes in Tuesday's 106-103 Game 2 win over the Spurs in the first round of the playoffs.
Henderson turned in an efficient performance en route to a game- and season-best 31 points across the regular season and playoffs. Additionally, the 22-year-old point guard became the youngest Trail Blazers player to score at least 30 points in the playoffs. He also knocked down a game-high five triples and is shooting 7-for-13 from beyond the arc through two first-round matchups. He'll look to remain productive in Friday's Game 3 in Portland as the Trail Blazers aim to take a 2-1 series lead.

Rotowire
Henderson racked up 18 points (7-11 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, three assists and one steal over 27 minutes during Sunday's 111-98 loss to the Spurs in Game 1 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.
Making his ninth straight start, the third-year guard was second on the Trail Blazers in scoring behind Deni Avdija's 30 points. Henderson has become a more efficient scorer during his latest starting stint, and over that nine-game stretch, he's averaging 15.4 points, 3.2 assists, 2.4 boards, 2.1 threes and 1.3 steals while shooting a respectable 46.2 percent from the floor and 40.4 percent from long distance.
Henderson closed Sunday's 122-110 victory over the Kings with 15 points (6-12 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 1-1 FT), two rebounds, four assists and two steals over 27 minutes.
Henderson started in each of the Trail Blazers' last seven games and posted solid numbers, averaging 16.0 points, 2.3 rebounds, 3.4 assists and 1.3 steals per game while shooting 40 percent from beyond the arc. Regardless of whether he starts or comes off the bench, Henderson should play a big role in the Blazers' upcoming playoff run, starting with the Play-In Game against the Suns on Tuesday.

Trail Blazers' Scoot Henderson: Strong line in loss
Rotowire
Henderson had 20 points (7-20 FG, 3-9 3Pt, 3-4 FT), three rebounds, two assists, one block and three steals over 38 minutes during Wednesday's 112-101 loss to the Spurs.
For the fifth time this campaign, Henderson reached 20 points for the Trail Blazers. Across 28 total appearances, he holds averages of 14.4 points, 3.8 assists, 2.8 rebounds and 1.9 three-pointers on 41.4 percent shooting from the field.
Trail Blazers' Scoot Henderson: Excels with 15 points
Rotowire
Henderson closed Tuesday's 114-104 victory over the Clippers with 15 points (5-14 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds and two assists in 29 minutes.
The Trail Blazers employed a smaller lineup amid Jerami Grant's (calf) absence, running Henderson alongside Jrue Holiday in the backcourt for a second consecutive game. The move has reaped significant benefits with two convincing victories. Shaedon Sharpe's (calf) extended absence has opened a window for Henderson to show his potential after fading into the woodwork for most of the season behind Holiday. The team will likely ride with this successful scheme until Grant returns.

Rotowire

Trail Blazers' Scoot Henderson: Strikes for team-high 25
Rotowire
Henderson posted 25 points (8-14 FG, 5-7 3Pt, 4-4 FT), five rebounds, three assists and one block in 30 minutes off the bench during Friday's 124-114 victory over the Jazz.
The 25 points tied Jrue Holiday for the team scoring lead on the night. Henderson is still searching for consistency, especially when it comes to his shooting, but he's at least flashing the upside that made him the third overall pick in the 2023 NBA Draft. In 11 games (three starts) since the All-Star break, Henderson is averaging 14.0 points, 3.6 assists, 2.8 boards and 1.9 threes.
Henderson closed Sunday's 131-111 victory over the Pacers with 28 points (10-15 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 5-6 FT), three rebounds, six assists, one block and one steal over 26 minutes.
Henderson was one of the main reasons why the Blazers secured a comfortable 20-point blowout win Sunday. The electric floor general didn't start after being part of the first unit in the past two contests, but he responded with his best game of the season thus far. Henderson made his debut Feb. 6 but has been very consistent, scoring in double digits in 10 of his 13 appearances. He's averaging 12.9 points, 2.8 rebounds and 4.5 assists per game, so he should carry some fantasy appeal as long as he stays healthy, regardless of his role.
Henderson won't start Sunday's game against the Pacers.
With Deni Avdija (back) returning to action, Henderson will slide to the second unit. Over nine appearances off the bench this season, the 22-year-old point guard has averaged 12.9 points, 4.8 assists and 3.1 rebounds in 23.0 minutes per contest.
Henderson closed with eight points (3-11 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 1-2 FT), one rebound, three assists and one steal across 24 minutes during Wednesday's 122-114 victory over Memphis.
Henderson moved into the starting lineup for just the second time since returning from injury, although the promotion failed to improve what has been a tough couple of weeks. In seven appearances during that time, he has averaged just 11.4 points, 4.0 assists and 1.0 three-pointers, leaving him outside the top-300 players in nine-category leagues.
