Sean Highkin: Jrue Holiday is back in the lineup tonight after missing Sunday’s game for personal reasons. Vit Krejci is also available to play after passing his physical following the trade.
Keith Smith: Picks in the Celtics-Bulls trade, per a league source: To Boston: Denver Nuggets 2027 second-round pick To Chicago: most favorable 2026 second-round pick of Minnesota Timberwolves, New Orleans Pelicans, New York Knicks, Portland Trailblazers (likely to be NOP)
Trail Blazers PR: INJURY UPDATE: Deni Avdija and Scoot Henderson are OUT for tonight’s game vs. PHX.
According to Highkin, the Blazers are willing to act as a third team — if they get a player they really like. But Highkin doesn’t think Mikal Bridges (Knicks) or Jalen McDaniels (Timberwolves) would fit that bill. As Highkin writes, the Blazers were interested in Bridges, but that was a few years ago when he was obviously younger and on a more team-friendly contract, not the four-year, $150MM extension that will begin next season.

Sean Highkin: Scoot is officially upgraded to "Doubtful" for tomorrow -- which, following the pattern for Jrue Holiday and Jerami Grant coming back from long-term injuries, likely means he doesn't play tomorrow but does play Friday. Deni Avdija is also doubtful.
Duane Rankin: Suns injury report at Blazers: Jalen Green (left hip contusion/right hamstring injury management) QUESTIONABLE. Devin Booker (right ankle sprain) OUT. #Suns
Joe Freeman: Injury notes tonight for the Blazers, according to Tiago Splitter: •Blake Wesley will return tonight vs. the Cavaliers, playing in his first game since Halloween. •Deni Avdija is expected to play. •Scoot Henderson should make his season-debut "very, very soon."

Sean Highkin: Scoot Henderson said today at practice that he feels “amazing” and today he went through everything and felt physically like he could keep going. Wouldn’t say whether he’s going to play tomorrow. That’s up to the medical staff.
The Heat and NBA agreed to put Rozier's salary for the 2025-26 season in escrow after Rozier was arrested and indicted in October as part of a federal gambling investigation that also ensnared Portland Trail Blazers coach Chauncey Billups. The NBPA appealed the agreement to withhold his salary, which is approximately $26.6 million.
Omri Casspi: Deni, immense pride! Seeing the path you’ve taken, the hard work and perseverance — you deserve this. Enjoy every moment on that stage, you’re proof that the sky’s the limit. And this is just the beginning… :)
Sean Highkin: Deni is out, actually.
