Henderson is in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Nuggets.

EDGE Analysis

Henderson will move to the starting lineup due to the absence of Anfernee Simons (illness). Henderson is coming off a subpar performance in the win over the Grizzlies on March 19, but other than that, he's been playing well of late. He's averaging 13.5 points, 4.0 assists and 3.6 rebounds per game across 10 appearances off the bench this month.

Henderson produced five points (2-10 FG, 1-7 3Pt), three rebounds and five assists across 20 minutes during Wednesday's 115-99 victory over the Grizzlies.

EDGE Analysis

Henderson has now failed to score double-digit points in two of his last three contests. The second-year guard's 20 minutes of action against Memphis were his fewest since Feb. 22. Henderson has struggled mightily with his efficiency as of late, shooting just 38.1 percent from the field and 30.6 percent from three across his last 10 outings.

Henderson supplied five points (2-12 FG, 1-5 3Pt), five rebounds, five assists and one steal across 30 minutes during Sunday's 105-102 victory over Toronto.

EDGE Analysis

After scoring 30 points (10-16 FG, 4-4 3Pt, 6-10 FT) against the Knicks on Wednesday, Henderson came crashing back to Earth with a horrible shooting performance Sunday. While the second-year guard remains too inconsistent to trust in standard fantasy leagues, he's in the midst of a solid stretch. Since the All-Star break (13 games), Henderson has averaged 14.5 points, 4.5 assists, 3.2 rebounds and 1.0 steals in 28.3 minutes a night off the bench.

Henderson registered 30 points (10-16 FG, 4-4 3Pt, 6-10 FT), three rebounds, two assists and one steal over 37 minutes off the bench during Wednesday's 114-113 overtime loss to the Knicks.

EDGE Analysis

The 30 points represented Henderson's best scoring performance since he rained 39 down on the Nets on Jan. 14. The third overall pick in the 2023 Draft has developed a little more consistency of late, scoring in double digits in 11 of the last 12 games and averaging 15.3 points, 4.4 assists, 3.0 boards, 2.1 threes and 1.0 steals over that span, but he's still a long way from living up to his pedigree.

Henderson supplied 22 points (8-15 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 4-5 FT), four rebounds and three assists across 25 minutes during Friday's 107-89 loss to the Thunder.

EDGE Analysis

Although Henderson is unlikely to supplant Anfernee Simons this season, the youngster is clearly Portland's point guard of the future. He was forced into a starting role for 36 games last season, and his numbers have dipped due to a reduced role with the second unit during the 2024-25 season. With Portland's playoff hopes all but eliminated, it would not be surprising to see Henderson take on an expanded role down the stretch.

Henderson posted 13 points (4-11 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 4-5 FT), two rebounds, four assists and one steal in 26 minutes before fouling out of Wednesday's 128-118 loss to the Celtics.

EDGE Analysis

Henderson continues to put up modest production, failing to make the most of his time on the floor. In eight games over the past two weeks, Henderson is averaging 13.1 points, 5.3 assists, 1.3 steals and 2.1 three-pointers, shooting 40.4 percent from the floor and 69.6 percent from the line. While his role could increase should the Trail Blazers opt to lean more into their youth, Henderson has a few rungs to climb before he can be considered a consistent NBA contributor.

Henderson amassed 15 points (5-12 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 2-4 FT), four rebounds, six assists and one steal across 33 minutes during Sunday's 133-129 overtime loss to Cleveland.

EDGE Analysis

Henderson provided a nice spark off the Portland bench Sunday, leading all second unit players in scoring, threes made and assists in an offensives showcase. Henderson has connected on three or more threes in 12 outings, nine of which have come off the bench. He has connected on three or more threes in four of his last five appearances.

Henderson totaled 12 points (4-9 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 3-4 FT), three rebounds, nine assists, one block and three steals in 27 minutes during Friday's 121-102 win over the Nets.

EDGE Analysis

Henderson supplied a full stat line Friday, also reaching double figures in scoring in his fifth straight game. Over his last eight contests, the 2023 lottery pick has averaged 11.6 points, 5.0 assists, 2.1 rebounds, 1.5 steals and 2.1 three-pointers in 25.7 minutes. Turnovers could remain an issue for the second year-guard, however, and Henderson's overall fantasy upside will remain capped while he consistently functions from Portland's second unit as long as Anfernee Simons is healthy.

Henderson (ankle) finished Thursday's 110-102 loss to the Lakers with 12 points (4-13 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five assists, two rebounds and two steals across 30 minutes.

EDGE Analysis

Henderson returned to the hardwood after missing the club's final outing before the All-Star break due to a right ankle sprain. The second-year pro saw significant run off the bench during his return, though he struggled from the field in the loss. Henderson continues to serve as a key contributor for Portland off the bench, and he has averaged 13.8 points, 5.3 assists, 3.3 rebounds, 2.1 three-pointers and 1.4 steals in 26.6 minutes per contest over his last 10 outings (two starts).

Henderson (ankle) has been cleared to play Thursday night against the Lakers, Sean Highkin of Rip City Radio 620 Portland reports.

EDGE Analysis

Henderson sat out of his team's last matchup Feb. 12 against Denver due to an ankle sprain, but he'll be available off the bench in this one. He's averaging 12.4 points, 3.0 rebounds, 6.2 assists and 1.6 steals in his last five appearances as a reserve.
