Henderson supplied 24 points (8-18 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 5-5 FT), four rebounds, 10 assists and two steals across 35 minutes during Friday's 125-117 loss to the Clippers.
EDGE Analysis
Henderson has had an up-and-down rookie season. However, this was one of his best displays of the entire campaign. Henderson seems to be finding his groove of late, and he has scored in double digits in all but one of his last eight outings since returning from an adductor injury in early March. He's averaging 13.4 points, 5.5 assists and 3.5 rebounds per game in that stretch.

Henderson ended with 18 points (6-15 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 4-6 FT), two rebounds, five assists and two steals in 35 minutes during Wednesday's 116-103 loss to the Clippers.
EDGE Analysis
Henderson didn't post a particularly impressive shooting line, but he still managed to lead the Blazers in scoring while finishing second on the squad in assists. The rookie guard also logged a team-high 35 minutes, providing further evidence that he's past the adductor injury that caused him to miss eight straight games between late February and early March. This was Henderson's highest scoring effort since his return from that issue.

Henderson recorded 14 points (4-17 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 5-6 FT), six rebounds, five assists and one steal over 30 minutes during Monday's 110-107 loss to Chicago.
EDGE Analysis
The rookie guard is beginning to show a little consistency. Over six games (three starts) since returning from an adductor strain, Henderson has scored in double digits five times, averaging 10.8 points, 4.8 assists, 3.8 boards and 1.0 steals in 26.0 minutes a contest, although his 34.3 percent shooting from the floor and 18.2 percent shooting from beyond the arc still need a lot of work.

Henderson will start Monday's game against the Bulls and won't face any restrictions, Casey Holdahl of the Trail Blazers' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Henderson will start for the third time over Portland's last five games. Across his last five appearances, the rookie point guard has averaged 10.2 points, 4.8 assists, 3.4 rebounds and 1.0 steals in 25.2 minutes per game, but he should eclipse 30 minutes versus the Bulls.

Henderson is on a minutes restriction for Saturday's game versus the Pelicans, Casey Holdahl of the Trail Blazers' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
With the return of Anfernee Simons to the lineup, Henderson could move back to Portland's bench. The rookie guard should play a comparable amount to the 26 minutes he logged against the Knicks on Thursday.

Henderson ended with 12 points (4-13 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 3-4 FT), seven rebounds, six assists and one steal over 26 minutes during Thursday's 105-93 loss to the Knicks.
EDGE Analysis
Henderson got the starting nod since Anfernee Simons (knee) was ruled out, and the former delivered a decent performance, though the shooting woes continue to plague the rookie. Henderson is now shooting only 39.3 percent from the field and 31 percent from three-point range over his last 10 games.

EDGE Analysis
Anfernee Simons (knee) is taking the night off, but coach Chauncey Billups expects him back for Saturday's game against the Pelicans. As a starter this season, Henderson holds averages of 13.6 points, 5.6 assists, 3.5 rebounds and 1.3 three-pointers.

Henderson registered two points (1-8 FG, 0-4 3Pt), one rebound, three assists and one steal across 17 minutes during Wednesday's 106-102 win over the Hawks.
EDGE Analysis
The Trail Blazers came out on top Wednesday, but Henderson had another woeful performance, and the rookie continues to alternate good performances with some really poor ones. The play of other rookies from this class has done nothing but single out Henderson's struggles even more, and it's safe to say he hasn't lived up to his status of being the third overall pick in the 2023 NBA Draft. He's averaging 13.0 points and 4.8 assists, though shooting a mere 37.5 percent from the field since the beginning of January -- a span in which he's also missed 10 games due to injuries.

Henderson will be under a minutes restriction and will come off the bench Wednesday against the Hawks, Sean Highkin of RoseGardenReport.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Henderson will be limited for the opening leg of Portland's back-to-back set and will be replaced by Dalano Banton in the starting lineup. While it's unclear exactly how many minutes Henderson will see Wednesday, it's likely that he'll end up in the mid-20s.

Henderson totaled 13 points (5-12 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), eight assists and six rebounds across 33 minutes during Monday's 121-99 loss to Boston.
EDGE Analysis
Making just his second start since Jan. 14, Henderson led the Blazers in assists, although he also led the team with five turnovers. The third overall pick in 2023 has had a bumpy rookie campaign due to injuries, but when on the court, he's been productive. He's scored in double digits in eight straight contests dating back to Jan. 29, averaging 17.0 points, 5.6 assists, 3.0 boards and 1.5 threes over that stretch.
