Henderson is in jeopardy of moving back to a bench role after Portland acquired Ja Morant in a trade this offseason.
Henderson closed the 2025-26 campaign as a starter after missing the first half of the season with a torn hamstring. Not only do the Trail Blazers now have Morant in the mix, but Damian Lillard (Achilles) is also a candidate to jump into the starting lineup in his 2026-27 return to the floor. Until Portland makes its backcourt plans a bit clearer, Henderson is a difficult player to rank from a fantasy perspective ahead of the new year.
Trail Blazers' Scoot Henderson: Struggles in 17 minutes
Rotowire
Henderson finished Tuesday's 114-95 loss to San Antonio in Game 5 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs with five points (2-6 FG, 1-2 3Pt) and two rebounds over 17 minutes.
After a strong start to the series, Henderson scored a total of five points on 2-for-13 shooting in the final two games. Injuries derailed his third NBA season, limiting him to 30 regular-season appearances with averages of 14.2 points, 3.7 assists, 2.7 rebounds and 1.9 three-pointers in 24.9 minutes per contest.
Trail Blazers' Scoot Henderson: Fails to score in Game 4 loss
Rotowire
Henderson chipped in zero points (0-7 FG, 0-3 3Pt), two assists and one steal in 27 minutes during Sunday's 114-93 loss to the Spurs in Game 4 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.
Henderson couldn't hit the side of a barn, missing all seven of his shot attempts as the Trail Blazers fell behind 3-1 in the series. The forgettable performance was in stark contrast to the first three games of the series for Henderson, as he averaged 23.3 points, 2.0 rebounds, 1.3 assists and 1.0 steals while shooting 56.5 percent, including 52.2 percent from behind the arc. Given that body of work, Henderson should have a solid chance of bouncing back in a potential elimination scenario for Portland in Game 5.

Rotowire
Henderson produced 21 points (8-18 FG, 5-10 3Pt), two rebounds, one assist and one steal in 36 minutes during Friday's 120-108 loss to San Antonio in Game 3 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.
It was another impressive performance from long range for Henderson, who has come out firing for the Blazers in the series. Over his first three career playoff contests, the third-year guard is averaging 23.3 points, 4.0 threes, 2.0 boards, 1.3 assists and 1.0 steals while shooting a blistering 52.2 percent (12-for-23) from beyond the arc.
Trail Blazers' Scoot Henderson: Paces Portland in win
Rotowire
Henderson amassed 31 points (11-17 FG, 5-9 3Pt, 4-6 FT), one rebound, one steal and one block across 38 minutes in Tuesday's 106-103 Game 2 win over the Spurs in the first round of the playoffs.
Henderson turned in an efficient performance en route to a game- and season-best 31 points across the regular season and playoffs. Additionally, the 22-year-old point guard became the youngest Trail Blazers player to score at least 30 points in the playoffs. He also knocked down a game-high five triples and is shooting 7-for-13 from beyond the arc through two first-round matchups. He'll look to remain productive in Friday's Game 3 in Portland as the Trail Blazers aim to take a 2-1 series lead.

Rotowire
Henderson racked up 18 points (7-11 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, three assists and one steal over 27 minutes during Sunday's 111-98 loss to the Spurs in Game 1 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.
Making his ninth straight start, the third-year guard was second on the Trail Blazers in scoring behind Deni Avdija's 30 points. Henderson has become a more efficient scorer during his latest starting stint, and over that nine-game stretch, he's averaging 15.4 points, 3.2 assists, 2.4 boards, 2.1 threes and 1.3 steals while shooting a respectable 46.2 percent from the floor and 40.4 percent from long distance.
Henderson closed Sunday's 122-110 victory over the Kings with 15 points (6-12 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 1-1 FT), two rebounds, four assists and two steals over 27 minutes.
Henderson started in each of the Trail Blazers' last seven games and posted solid numbers, averaging 16.0 points, 2.3 rebounds, 3.4 assists and 1.3 steals per game while shooting 40 percent from beyond the arc. Regardless of whether he starts or comes off the bench, Henderson should play a big role in the Blazers' upcoming playoff run, starting with the Play-In Game against the Suns on Tuesday.

Trail Blazers' Scoot Henderson: Strong line in loss
Rotowire
Henderson had 20 points (7-20 FG, 3-9 3Pt, 3-4 FT), three rebounds, two assists, one block and three steals over 38 minutes during Wednesday's 112-101 loss to the Spurs.
For the fifth time this campaign, Henderson reached 20 points for the Trail Blazers. Across 28 total appearances, he holds averages of 14.4 points, 3.8 assists, 2.8 rebounds and 1.9 three-pointers on 41.4 percent shooting from the field.
Trail Blazers' Scoot Henderson: Excels with 15 points
Rotowire
Henderson closed Tuesday's 114-104 victory over the Clippers with 15 points (5-14 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds and two assists in 29 minutes.
The Trail Blazers employed a smaller lineup amid Jerami Grant's (calf) absence, running Henderson alongside Jrue Holiday in the backcourt for a second consecutive game. The move has reaped significant benefits with two convincing victories. Shaedon Sharpe's (calf) extended absence has opened a window for Henderson to show his potential after fading into the woodwork for most of the season behind Holiday. The team will likely ride with this successful scheme until Grant returns.
