Jerami Grant's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

Portland Trail Blazers forward Jerami Grant (illness) will suit up for Friday's meeting with Houston. His status was initially thrown into doubt when he popped up on the injury report with an illness. However, the team has upgraded him from questionable to available. Grant will look to end a poor spell. He has scored only 31 points across the last three games. It's a matchup against a team that's ranked second in defensive efficiency, so fantasy managers shouldn't bank on Grant bouncing back on Friday.

Portland Trail Blazers forward Jerami Grant (illness) is listed as questionable ahead of Friday's game against the Houston Rockets. Grant was a late addition to the injury report due to an illness. The Blazers are likely going to wait until closer to tip-off before making a final decision on his status. If he sits, Deni Avdija figures to see an increased role in the rotation. Avdija has been better lately as he's scored double digits in three of his last four games. The absence of Grant would make Avdija worth a look for Friday's slate.

Portland Trail Blazers forward Jerami Grant has been linked with an exit from the team only one year into a five-year, $160 million contract extension. Jake Fischer of Yahoo Sports has noted that Grant is drawing interest from the Los Angeles Lakers. Grant was troubled by health issues for most of the 2023-24 campaign, featuring only 54 times for Portland. He shot a career-high 40.2 percent from deep to average 21.0 points. Grant also tied his career high with 2.8 assists while grabbing 3.5 rebounds. The 30-year-old would add size and scoring ability to the Lakers, but his large contract makes it difficult to acquire him.

According to SNY's Ian Begley, several teams have "checked in" on Portland Trail Blazers forward Jerami Grant. The veteran finished the 2023-24 campaign by averaging 21.0 points, 3.5 rebounds, and 2.8 assists. He also shot a career-high 40.2% from behind the arc. Without question, Grant would bolster a starting lineup for any club. However, he hasn't logged more than 63 games in any of the previous four seasons, which makes him a risky investment for teams. The same is true for fantasy managers.

Portland Trail Blazers forward Jerami Grant (hamstring) is listed as doubtful ahead of Tuesday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans. At this point, the Blazers should rule out Grant for the season. This team isn't going to make the postseason, so they are highly unlikely to put Grant on the floor in a few meaningless games. Jabari Walker and Kris Murray are expected to continue starting at the forward spots until further notice.
