Robert Williams III had 11 points (5-of-6 FGs, 0-of-1 FTs), nine rebounds, three assists, one block, one steal and one three-pointer in Tuesday’s Game 2 victory over the Spurs.

Williams played 23 minutes off the bench in the victory and had 11 points and nine rebounds. The 28-year-old center also had a put-back dunk and got fouled with 15 seconds left in regulation to put the Trail Blazers up by three. He’ll continue to have a significant bench role in this series.
Scoot Henderson

POR Guard #00

Scoot Henderson had 31 points (11-of-17 FGs, 4-of-6 FTs), one rebound, one steal, one block and five three-pointers in the Trail Blazers’ 106-103 Game 2 victory over the Spurs on Tuesday.

Henderson found his rhythm with a 15-point second half in Sunday’s Game 1 loss to the Spurs and it carried over to Game 2 as he posted 31 points in the win. The 22-year-old guard’s three-point shooting was a major factor in this one as he was 5-of-9 from behind the arc. The series shifts to Portland for Game 3 on Friday.
Jrue Holiday

POR Guard #5

Jrue Holiday added nine points (4-of-15 FGs), four rebounds, 11 assists, one steal and one three-pointer in Sunday’s loss to the Spurs.

Holiday was cold from the field in Game 1, regardless of whether he was shooting inside the arc or beyond it. The two-time champion was one of three Blazers starters to shoot under 30.0 percent on the evening, contributing to Portland’s overall offensive struggles. He did compensate for the scoring struggles by dishing out double-digit assists, doing so while committing only one turnover. Still, the Trail Blazers will likely need more production from Holiday as a scorer going forward.
Scoot Henderson

POR Guard #00

Scoot Henderson logged 18 points (7-of-11 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), three rebounds, three assists, one steal and two three-pointers in the loss to the Spurs on Sunday.

After a quiet, three-point first half, Henderson found his rhythm in his playoff debut and scored 15 points after halftime to finish as Portland’s second-leading scorer on the evening. Henderson shot efficiently in his 27 minutes both inside and outside the arc, and was one of the Blazers’ more reliable starters overall. The former third-overall pick has logged some impressive scoring performances recently in his return from injury. He’ll have a chance to build off some Game 1 momentum and carry it over on Tuesday when the Blazers and Spurs take the floor again.
Deni Avdija

POR Forward #8

Deni Avdija tallied 30 points (12-of-21 FGs, 4-of-6 FTs), 10 rebounds, five assists, one steal, one block and two three-pointers in Sunday’s loss to the Spurs.

Avdija got off to a fast start in Sunday’s outing. He logged 11 first-quarter points and added eight more to total 19 points at halftime. Yet, he was much less dominant the remainder of the game, taking just two shots in the third frame before logging six points in the fourth. Still, Avdija was the only Trail Blazer with more than 20 points on the evening. He’ll likely need some of his teammates to contribute more on the offensive end if Portland wants to avoid dropping Game 2.
Jerami Grant

POR Forward #9

Jerami Grant tallied 16 points (5-of-12 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), two rebounds, one block and four three-pointers in Tuesday’s win over the Suns.

Grant took the floor for the first time since late March and provided some huge moments on both ends of the floor during the fourth quarter. The veteran forward hit two massive three-pointers with under three minutes remaining, made a big defensive stop on Jordan Goodwin’s game-tying putback attempt with seconds left, and then provided a punctuation-mark dunk on the other end to punch Portland’s ticket to the playoffs. Grant was one of two Trail Blazers to make four three-pointers on the evening. He’ll likely play an important role in the first-round series against the Spurs.
Jrue Holiday

POR Guard #5

Jrue Holiday amassed 21 points (7-of-18 FGs, 3-of-4 FTs), four rebounds, three assists, one steal and four three-pointers in the win over the Suns on Tuesday.

Holiday logged 38 minutes in the win and provided much-needed scoring for the Blazers. The two-time NBA champion drained four three-pointers, including a big one down the stretch of the fourth quarter, to help keep Portland within striking distance. He didn’t compile many other counting stats, yet his veteran presence in clutch time helped Portland come from behind and secure a playoff spot. The Trail Blazers will face San Antonio in the opening round.
Deni Avdija

POR Forward #8

Deni Avdija tallied 41 points (15-of-22 FGs, 8-of-13 FGs), seven rebounds, 12 assists, two blocks and three three-pointers in the win over the Suns on Tuesday.

Avdija was everything the Blazers needed down the stretch to mount a come-from-behind win. The first-time All-Star repeatedly got to the rim throughout the fourth quarter and ultimately scored the go-ahead layup with 16.1 seconds remaining. He finished with game-highs in points and assists while leading the Blazers from 11 points down midway through the final frame to mount a comeback that would secure them the seventh seed in the playoffs. Portland will face San Antonio in the opening round.
Jerami Grant

POR Forward #9

Jerami Grant (calf) is available to play against the Suns on Tuesday.

The Trail Blazers will reintegrate the veteran forward on Tuesday as they look to punch their ticket to the playoffs. Grant played in 57 of the 82 regular-season games for Portland, with a calf injury costing him the last seven games. He’s averaging 18.6 points per game thus far and will likely play a big role for the team in his return.
Jerami Grant

POR Forward #9

Jerami Grant (calf) is questionable for Tuesday’s Play-In game against the Suns.

Grant hasn’t played since March 27 as he’s dealt with a calf strain. The 32-year-old power forward is questionable, which at least gives him a chance of suiting up for Tuesday’s game against the Suns. If Grant is out again, Scoot Henderson should start again for the Trail Blazers.
