Trail Blazers' Jerami Grant: Shines in playmaking role
Grant racked up 21 points (5-15 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 9-10 FT), two rebounds and eight assists across 39 minutes during Tuesday's 122-108 victory over the Timberwolves.
Grant is known for being a prolific scorer and an energetic rebounder, but the eight dimes were certainly surprising -- he finished just one dime away from tying his career-best mark in that category. Grant has had noticeable shooting woes in the first weeks of the season and has struggled with efficiency, but he should continue to have green light to shoot at will, especially if Anfernee Simons (chest) is forced to miss time.

Trail Blazers' Donovan Clingan: Limited impact Tuesday
Clingan finished Tuesday's 122-108 victory over the Timberwolves with four points (2-5 FG, 0-1 3Pt), six rebounds, one block and one steal across 21 minutes.
It's unclear if Deandre Ayton (finger) will be available for the second half of this back-to-back set, and it's also uncertain if Robert Williams will play at all, so Clingan could be in line to make another start Wednesday. The rookie didn't have his best showing Tuesday, though that could've been expected since he had to battle with Rudy Gobert, one of the best rim protectors in the league. Clingan should continue to see steady minutes as long as the Blazers remain depleted in their frontcourt, though.

Trail Blazers' Robert Williams: Excellent in win Tuesday
Williams produced 19 points (9-10 FG, 1-1 FT), nine rebounds, three assists, three blocks and three steals across 25 minutes during Tuesday's 122-108 win over Minnesota.
Williams looked dominant on both ends of the court Tuesday and delivered one of his best outings in recent memory, taking full advantage of the absence of Deandre Ayton (finger). Williams' status for Wednesday's re-match against the Timberwolves is uncertain, however. "We're going to talk about - there's a lot of checkpoints coming off the injury but we'll see," Williams told Danny Marang of 1080 The Fan Portland on Tuesday when asked about his chances of playing in the second half of this back-to-back set vs. Minnesota. The potential absence of Williams would lead to even more minutes for Donovan Clingan.

Trail Blazers' Anfernee Simons: Avoids serious injury vs. MIN
Coach Chauncey Billups said that Simons left Tuesday's game with shortness of breath and he should be okay, though he will undergo more testing before Wednesday's rematch against Minnesota, Sean Highkin of RoseGardenReport.com reports.
Simons tallied two points (1-2 FG, 0-1 3Pt) and one rebound in five minutes before exiting Tuesday's contest in the first quarter. The sharpshooter is not expected to miss significant time, and he will undergo more testing to determine his status for Wednesday's game. Through 12 regular-season outings, Simons has averaged 17.5 points, 4.6 assists and 2.1 rebounds while shooting only 38.2 percent from the field across 29.7 minutes per game.

Trail Blazers' Robert Williams: Returns to game Tuesday
Williams has returned to Tuesday's game against the Timberwolves, Danny Marang of 1080 The Fan Portland reports.
Williams went back to the locker room in the second quarter, though he was able to come back for the third. The big man should be able to handle his normal workload the rest of the way.

Trail Blazers' Robert Williams: Goes to locker room Tuesday
Williams (undisclosed) went back to the locker room in the second quarter of Tuesday's game against the Timberwolves, Sean Highkin of RoseGardenReport.com reports.
Williams left the game and went straight back to the locker room with a trainer. The nature of the injury is currently unknown, and if the big man is unable to return, Kris Murray and Deni Avdija could see an uptick in playing time with Deandre Ayton (finger) ruled out prior to the game.

Trail Blazers' Anfernee Simons: Out for remainder of game
Simons will not return to Tuesday's game versus the Timberwolves due to a chest injury.
Simons tallied two points (1-2 FG, 0-1 3Pt) and one rebound in five minutes before exiting Tuesday's contest early. Although initial reports deemed Simons' injury a hand issue, it now appears to be a chest injury. The 25-year-old guard's status for Wednesday's rematch with Minnesota is uncertain.

Trail Blazers' Anfernee Simons: Exits to locker room
Simons went back to the locker room in the first quarter of Tuesday's contest against Minnesota with an apparent right hand injury, Sean Highkin of RoseGardenReport.com reports.
Portland's medical staff appeared to check Simons' right hand before he went back to the locker room early in the matchup. If the 25-year-old is unable to return, Scoot Henderson and Dalano Banton are candidates for an increased role the rest of the way.

Trail Blazers' Donovan Clingan: Making first NBA start
Clingan is in the starting five for Tuesday's game versus the Timberwolves, Danny Marang of 1080 The Fan Portland reports.
Clingan will replace Deandre Ayton (finger) in the starting lineup Tuesday. The rookie big man has yet to log 20 or more minutes in a game this season but will likely receive an uptick in playing time against Minnesota.

Trail Blazers' Deandre Ayton: Won't play Tuesday
Ayton (finger) has been ruled out for Tuesday's matchup against the Timberwolves, Danny Marang of 1080 The Fan Portland reports.
Ayton was a late addition to the injury report due to a sprained right index finger, and he has officially been ruled out for the first leg of the back-to-back set against Minnesota. The big man will be replaced in the starting five by Donovan Clingan, who will make his first career start Tuesday.

Trail Blazers' Deandre Ayton: Late addition to injury report
Ayton is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Timberwolves due to a right index finger sprain.
While the extent of the injury remains unclear, Ayton was a late addition to the injury report, which isn't a good sign for his availability Tuesday night. If Ayton is sidelined, rookie Donovan Clingan may draw his first start, while Robert Williams, who recently made his season debut, could be in store for extra minutes. Duop Reath could also enter Portland's rotation.

Trail Blazers' Matisse Thybulle: Won't play Tuesday
Thybulle (knee) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against Minnesota.
Thybulle continues to recover from a procedure in mid-October to address inflammation in his right knee. His next chance to make his 2024-25 regular-season debut will be in the Trail Blazers' back-to-back against the Timberwolves on Wednesday.

Trail Blazers' Dalano Banton: Productive off bench once again
Banton accumulated 13 points (4-18 FG, 0-5 3Pt, 5-6 FT), three rebounds, two assists and two steals across 20 minutes during Sunday's 134-89 loss to Memphis.
Banton owns one of the highest point-per-minute-played rates in the NBA, and he didn't need a lot of time to make his presence felt -- although it was in another blowout defeat. Banton is averaging 12.0 points on 13.5 minutes per game across six appearances in November.

Trail Blazers' Jerami Grant: Puts up 20 points in blowout loss
Grant notched 20 points (7-15 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 4-6 FT), one rebound, one assist and one steal across 28 minutes during Sunday's 134-89 loss to Memphis.
The Trail Blazers looked drastically overmatched in this blowout loss to the Grizzlies, and Grant was one of the few Portland players who delivered a relatively decent performance. His 20 points led the team, and this was the third time he reached the 20-point mark in six November outings.

Trail Blazers' Anfernee Simons: Woeful in loss to Memphis
Simons registered four points (2-9 FG, 0-4 3Pt), one rebound and one assist in 19 minutes during Sunday's 134-89 loss to the Grizzlies.
Simons had his worst game of the season Sunday, and even though his numbers had been trending in the wrong direction of late, he reached a new low in this one, missing seven of his nine shots and failing to do much in other categories. Despite the dud, Simons should remain one of the Trail Blazers' most reliable options on offense.
