Shaedon Sharpe closed Sunday's 114-110 win over the Hawks with 32 points (11-21 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 7-12 FT), two rebounds, five assists and three steals over 32 minutes.Sharpe led the way for Portland in this victory and extended his impressive streak in the scoring column, reaching the 30-point mark for the second straight game. Sharpe didn't make his season debut until Nov. 7 due to a shoulder injury, and it seems he's definitively trending in the right direction now that he's shaken all the rust off. After all, his first appearance of the season on Nov. 7 was his first regular-season contest since Jan. 11. Sharpe is averaging 22.3 points per game since being promoted to a starting role, where he's expected to remain for the foreseeable future.

Trail Blazers' Shaedon Sharpe: Pours in 33 points
Shaedon Sharpe finished with 33 points (12-23 FG, 3-10 3Pt, 6-7 FT), six rebounds and one assist over 36 minutes during Wednesday's 106-98 victory over the Timberwolves.Sharpe finally came out of his shell Wednesday after a sluggish start to the season. The team moved Toumani Camara to the wing and slid Sharpe into the off-guard role with Anfernee Simons (illness) out. The switch could be the key to a continued increase for Sharpe, but implementing the change permanently will hurt Scoot Henderson's fantasy outlook.

Trail Blazers' Shaedon Sharpe: Not on injury report Friday
Shaedon Sharpe (shoulder) is off the injury report for Friday's game against the Timberwolves, Sean Highkin of RoseGardenReport.com reports.Sharpe played in his first game since Jan. 11 during Thursday's loss to the Spurs, during which he posted 13 points (6-9 FG, 1-4 3Pt), two rebounds, an assist and a block across 20 minutes off the bench. The 21-year-old's availability in the second day of a back-to-back set bodes well for his status moving forward, and he could eventually take a spot in the starting five from Toumani Camara or Deni Avdija. The team will likely continue to ramp Sharpe back up to playing form slowly, though his health and scoring ability will likely result in an uptick in playing time.

Trail Blazers' Shaedon Sharpe: Efficient scoring in limited run
Shaedon Sharpe (shoulder) tallied 13 points (6-9 FG, 1-4 3Pt), two rebounds, one assist and one block across 20 minutes off the bench in Thursday's 118-105 loss to the Spurs.After missing the first eight games of the season while recovering from a small posterior labral tear in his left shoulder, Sharpe was eased back into the rotation in a bench role. Sharpe will likely be operating under a minutes restriction for at least a few more games, but once he gets fully ramped up, he could be a candidate to replace either Toumani Camara or Deni Avdija in the starting five. Though he doesn't possess the most well-rounded fantasy profile, Sharpe has displayed some scoring potential during his brief time in the NBA and could be particularly useful in points leagues.
