Portland Trail Blazers forward Jerami Grant (knee) won't play on Tuesday versus the Hawks. Grant has already missed 10 games because of knee soreness. However, there's a chance he won't play again this season, especially if the Blazers don't make the Play-In. At any rate, with Anfernee Simons (forearm) and Scoot Henderson (concussion) ruled out, Shaedon Sharpe, Toumani Camara, and Deni Avdija should lead the way on the scoring end. Dalano Banton will also enter the starting lineup, increasing his fantasy ceiling.
