Trail Blazers' Scoot Henderson: Season-high minutes count in return
Rotowire
Henderson (back) tallied 17 points (6-11 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 2-6 FT), nine assists, two rebounds and one block in 35 minutes Wednesday in the Trail Blazers' 121-114 loss to the Pacers.
The Trail Blazers showed no concern about easing Henderson back into the mix after he had missed the last three games with a back strain, as his 35 minutes were a new season high. While Henderson turned in quality production in the points, three-pointers and assists columns, a rough showing from the foul line lessened the value of his fantasy line in category leagues. Henderson benefited from Portland being shorthanded on healthy players Wednesday, so he could be a candidate to lose out on some minutes if Jerami Grant (knee) and (to a lesser extent) Robert Williams (concussion) are able to play in the Trail Blazers' next game Friday versus the Kings.

Trail Blazers' Scoot Henderson: Hands out 10 assists
Rotowire
Henderson closed with six points (3-11 FG, 0-4 3Pt), one rebound, 10 assists, one block and one steal in 30 minutes during Sunday's 114-110 win over the Hawks.
Henderson struggled badly from the field, as evidenced by his scoring output, but he made an impact in the playmaking department. It was the first time Henderson dished out 10 dimes this season, and with 15 assists in his last two appearances as a starter, he might continue to experience an uptick in his numbers as long as he remains in the first unit. That will ultimately depend on the return of Anfernee Simons, who's sidelined with an illness.

Trail Blazers' Scoot Henderson: Posts 11 points in starting role
Rotowire
Henderson logged 11 points (4-10 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, five assists and two steals over 27 minutes during Wednesday's 106-98 win over the Timberwolves.
Henderson logged his first start of the season with mixed results. It's difficult to break into the starting five with Anfernee Simons (illness) and Shaedon Sharpe playing at a high level, and Sharpe's 33 -point performance in the win clouds Henderson's outlook even further. Henderson was drafted as the presumptive heir to Damian Lillard's role last season, but first-unit minutes aren't coming his way.

Trail Blazers' Scoot Henderson: Strong showing off bench Friday
Rotowire
Henderson finished Friday's 127-102 loss to the Timberwolves with 16 points (6-14 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 4-4 FT), four rebounds, three assists and one steal in 32 minutes.
Henderson has been relatively inconsistent as a scoring weapon coming off the bench for the Blazers, failing to reach the 10-point mark in four of his 10 appearances. The nature of that role, especially for a rebuilding team, limits his upside considerably. During those 10 appearances, Henderson is averaging 12.5 points and 4.5 assists per game, although he's shooting only 40.9 percent from the field and 26.7 percent from deep.
