Houston Rockets forward Jeff Green (knee) is in danger of missing his second consecutive game since he's listed as questionable with knee pain. The veteran forward has only been a streaming option this year as his minutes would go up once the Rockets started suffering more injuries. As long as the main rotation is healthy, Green hasn't received enough opportunities to make him a quality fantasy play. If he's unable to play, Jabari Smith Jr. and Cam Whitmore should both get a slight boost in minutes while Jae'Sean Tate could see some more opportunities off of the bench.

Portland Trail Blazers forward Jabari Walker (hip) is on the latest injury report and has been tagged as questionable with a right hip contusion. Walker is one of eight Blazers that made an appearance on the injury report and only three seem to have a chance of playing on Friday. The 21-year-old has seen some very high-minute games but also some that are like the last game where he only received 18 minutes. If he's able to play while the others listed as questionable do not, then he should have a much bigger role against the Houston Rockets. If he's unable to suit up though, Jerami Grant (questionable - hamstring) and Kris Murray should remain in the starting five and receive more minutes.

Portland Trail Blazers guard Scoot Henderson (adductor) has been marked as doubtful on the latest injury report ahead of the team's game against the Houston Rockets. The rookie point guard has missed the team's last seven consecutive games and it seems like he'll miss an eighth. This year hasn't gone as well as most expected after the NBA Draft. There were hopes of a Rookie of the Year race against Victor Wembanyama, but Henderson has at least grown and improved as the year went on. Most of the backcourt is going to miss this game, so Anfernee Simons, Dalano Banton, Rayan Rupert, and Ashton Hagans will have to split up the minutes.

Portland Trail Blazers forward Jerami Grant (hamstring) is still dealing with a sore hamstring and is considered questionable for the contest against the Houston Rockets on Friday. After missing their game against the Minnesota Timberwolves, Grant was able to play in their last game on Wednesday. That night, he posted 20 points, four assists, two rebounds, two steals, one block, and six turnovers while clocking 40 minutes of playing time. The issue is that there are so many injuries that if Grant can play, that means he'll likely play heavy minutes yet again. Which is great for fantasy managers, but doesn't seem so great for his health as the season progresses. If he's unable to play, Kris Murray, Matisse Thybulle, and Jabari Walker (questionable - hip) will all have to pick up the slack.

Portland Trail Blazers forward Toumani Camara (illness) has been reported as questionable in their first iteration of the injury report for Friday night. It's unclear how severe Camara's illness is right now, so this seems like a waiting game to figure out how he feels on Friday before going through shootaround. He was unable to play in the team's last two games, so the questionable tag seems to be a trend in the right direction. If he does miss his third consecutive game, however, Jerami Grant (hamstring) could be in line for heavy minutes if he plays. Otherwise, Kris Murray would likely remain in the starting five while Jabari Walker sees extra minutes as the backup.
