Henderson finished with 14 points (4-11 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 5-6 FT), three rebounds, one assist and three steals over 31 minutes during Saturday's 112-90 victory over the Jazz.

Aside from his four turnovers, Henderson played well in his first start of the season, providing a scoring punch for Portland while doing a nice job of disrupting passing lanes. Ja Morant (hamstring) will miss at least the next four weeks, so Henderson should be locked in as a starter for Portland. He's someone to consider grabbing off the waiver wire.

Bona will start in Saturday's game against Charlotte.

With Joel Embiid (foot) sidelined for the second game of a back-to-back, Bona will enter the starting lineup. The 23-year-old started 18 times during the 2025-26 campaign, averaging 6.3 pints, 5.1 rebounds and 1.0 blocks over 21.4 minutes per contest in those appearances.

Walker (knee) is available for Saturday's game versus the Hornets, Chris Hine of The Philly Inquirer reports.

Walker missed the last three games but will return for Saturday's meeting with Charlotte. The 24-year-old has averaged just 6.3 minutes this season. However, with LeBron James (rest), Dominick Barlow (back) and Joel Embiid (foot) sidelined, Walker might see a little more action.

Fall (quadriceps) is available for Saturday's game against the Hornets, Chris Hine of The Philly Inquirer reports.

Fall is available to make his 76ers' debut Saturday, and with Joel Embiid (rest) out, he might be able to get into the rotation. That said, Fall may have his minutes monitored in his first game of the season, so he's not a great target in fantasy leagues.

Murray (personal) won't play in Saturday's game against the Hawks, Jim Eichenhofer of the Pelicans' official site reports.

Murray wasn't on the injury report but won't suit up due to the birth of his son. With Murray sidelined, Bennedict Mathurin could enter the starting lineup, with Jeremiah Fears operating as the primary ballhandler.

Brown (knee) is available for Saturday's game in Charlotte.

Brown is back after a one-game absence, and he should see a nice uptick in usage Saturday with LeBron James (rest) and Joel Embiid (rest) unavailable. Brown is averaging 20.6 points, 6.6 rebounds, 4.2 assists, 1.8 triples and 1.2 steals per game this season.

Zubac (ankle) will remain on the inactive list for Sunday's game against the Nets.

This will be Zubac's fourth consecutive game on the sidelines, which should result in another start for Jay Huff and extended minutes for Larry Nance. Zubac's next chance to play will come Monday against the Hawks.

Nesmith (hamstring) is listed as probable for Sunday's game against Brooklyn.

Nesmith didn't play in the 123-120 loss to New Orleans on Opening Night but has played in each of the Pacers' last five contests. Although he could see limited action while he continues to work his way back from the left hamstring strain, he will likely be out there Sunday, barring a setback.

Toppin (back) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Nets.

Toppin sat out Friday's 145-125 loss to the Heat due to the back issue, and with Sunday's game being the first of a back-to-back set, he may need to spend at least one more game on the sidelines. If he's out, Jarace Walker and Kobe Brown would likely see a bump in minutes.

Brown (rest) is out for Sunday's game in Indiana.

Brown will skip the first leg of this upcoming back-to-back set, but he should return for Monday's game in New York. With Brown inactive, there will be more minutes available for Nolan Traore, Terance Mann and Keon Ellis.
