Trail Blazers' Shaedon Sharpe: Not starting vs. Chicago
Rotowire
Sharpe is not in the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Bulls, Danny Marang of 1080 The Fan Portland reports.
The Blazers are tweaking their lineup for the second leg of this back-to-back set due to the absence of Anfernee Simons (elbow) and the return of Deni Avdija. Sharpe should still see sizable minutes off the bench and play a significant role on offense whenever he's on the court.
Sharpe logged 21 points (9-17 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds, two assists and one steal over 35 minutes during Tuesday's 132-114 loss to the Nets.
Sharpe reached the 20-point mark for a fifth consecutive game despite the fact the Blazers ended up losing by 18 points. Scoot Henderson turned heads with his play after notching a career-high 39 points, but Sharpe remains one of the most consistent performers in a struggling Portland team on a game-to-game basis. The third-year guard is averaging 20.1 points, 4.4 rebounds and 3.4 assists per game since the beginning of January.

The 21-year-old finished as Portland's second-leading scorer behind Anfernee Simons (28 points), albeit in a losing effort.

Trail Blazers' Shaedon Sharpe: Solid with 22 points in loss

Although Portland's defense gave away the win, Sharpe was effective with a team-high 22 points. Sharpe has failed to reach double-digit scoring only twice this season, and he extended a 20-plus point streak to three games in the defeat. The third-year pro is on pace to beat most of his previous seasonal averages, and his current average of 18.1 points over 29 games is 2.2 points higher than his 2023-24 result.

Trail Blazers' Shaedon Sharpe: Scores 19 points in defeat

Sharpe closed Thursday's 114-106 loss to the Lakers with 19 points (6-16 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 6-8 FT), five rebounds, one assist and one steal over 37 minutes.
The 21-year-old tied Deni Avdija for the second-highest scoring total on the Trail Blazers behind Anfernee Simons (23 points), albeit in a losing effort. Sharpe has been a fairly productive scorer through 25 regular-season appearances, though he has struggled from three-point range over his last 10 outings, during which he has shot 30.2 percent from downtown. In that 10-game span, the young guard has averaged 18.8 points, 4.3 rebounds and 2.6 assists across 32.3 minutes per contest.

Trail Blazers' Shaedon Sharpe: Pours in 27 points
Rotowire
Sharpe registered 27 points (11-18 FG, 5-10 3Pt), five rebounds, three assists and two blocks in 31 minutes during Thursday's 122-120 win over Utah.
Sharpe's shot was dialed in during the narrow win. He sunk a season-high five three-pointers and outscored every player in the first unit. Sharpe's results will sometimes correlate directly to Anfernee Simons, and his teammate's uninspiring performance required Sharpe to pick up the slack.

Trail Blazers' Shaedon Sharpe: Goes for 25 points in loss
Rotowire
Sharpe totaled 25 points (11-16 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 0-1 FT), three rebounds and one steal in 31 minutes during Saturday's 114-94 loss to the Spurs.
The Trail Blazers looked overmatched throughout the game, but Sharpe still found a way to post a strong stat line, and he led Portland in scoring by posting his second straight game with at least 25 points. That's a tally he's reached just four times this season, however, so fantasy managers shouldn't expect Sharpe to hit these figures often. Still, the former Kentucky alum is having a strong season in his third year in The Association and is averaging a career-high mark in scoring through his first 20 contests with 17.7 points per tilt.
Trail Blazers' Shaedon Sharpe: Hits for 27 in victory
Rotowire
Sharpe finished with 27 points (9-18 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 7-8 FT), six rebounds and four assists in 29 minutes during Thursday's 126-124 victory over Denver.
Sharpe achieved his high total despite converting only two of his eight three-point attempts. He utilized excellent mid-range shooting and a near-perfect night at the charity stripe to reach his third-highest scoring result of the season. He also matched a season high with six rebounds in the victory.
Sharpe ended Sunday's 107-98 loss to the Lakers with 19 points (7-15 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 3-4 FT), seven rebounds and three assists across 34 minutes.
Even though the Trail Blazers suffered another loss, Sharpe bounced back admirably after a 10-point effort in the blowout loss to the Jazz on Friday. The former Kentucky alum has been one of the most consistent scoring weapons for a struggling Blazers team this season. He's averaging 18.5 points per game across 14 starts, though he could use an uptick in efficiency since he's making just 42.9 percent of his shots, including a meager 29.7 percent from deep.
Trail Blazers' Shaedon Sharpe: Stuffs stat sheet Sunday
Rotowire
Sharpe ended with 22 points (10-20 FG, 2-6 3Pt), four rebounds, three assists and two steals across 37 minutes during Sunday's 137-131 loss to Dallas.
Anfernee Simons led the way for the Trail Blazers in this loss, but Sharpe delivered an impressive stat line as well, making his presence felt in other areas outside of just scoring. Sharpe is believed to be one of the long-term building blocks of the Blazers roster, and he's scored in double digits in each of his last 10 appearances, averaging 20.8 points, 3.4 rebounds and 2.7 assists per game in that span.

Trail Blazers' Shaedon Sharpe: Shooting woes from deep in loss
Rotowire
Sharpe provided 15 points (4-12 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 6-6 FT), four rebounds, two assists and two blocks over 30 minutes during Monday's 123-98 loss to Memphis.
The 21-year-old finished as the club's second-leading scorer behind Deni Avdija (17), though Sharpe struggled with efficiency once again. Across his last five outings, the young guard has shot 40.8 percent from the field while averaging 21.0 points, 2.8 rebounds, 2.4 assists and 1.4 steals across 31.8 minutes per game.

Trail Blazers' Shaedon Sharpe: Scores 13 points in loss Friday
Rotowire
Sharpe notched 13 points (3-9 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 6-6 FT), one rebound, two assists and two steals across 23 minutes during Friday's 116-88 loss to the Rockets.
The Trail Blazers looked outmatched from start to finish in this matchup, and while Sharpe did what he could to provide an offensive boost, he struggled to get into a rhythm. Even though the 13 points were a team-high mark, this is not the kind of production fantasy managers want from the 21-year-old guard. However, he had cracked the 20-point mark in his previous three contests, so there's a chance this was nothing more than an off night.

Trail Blazers' Shaedon Sharpe: Scores 32 points in win
Rotowire
Sharpe closed Sunday's 114-110 win over the Hawks with 32 points (11-21 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 7-12 FT), two rebounds, five assists and three steals over 32 minutes.
Sharpe led the way for Portland in this victory and extended his impressive streak in the scoring column, reaching the 30-point mark for the second straight game. Sharpe didn't make his season debut until Nov. 7 due to a shoulder injury, and it seems he's definitively trending in the right direction now that he's shaken all the rust off. After all, his first appearance of the season on Nov. 7 was his first regular-season contest since Jan. 11. Sharpe is averaging 22.3 points per game since being promoted to a starting role, where he's expected to remain for the foreseeable future.
Sharpe finished with 33 points (12-23 FG, 3-10 3Pt, 6-7 FT), six rebounds and one assist over 36 minutes during Wednesday's 106-98 victory over the Timberwolves.
Sharpe finally came out of his shell Wednesday after a sluggish start to the season. The team moved Toumani Camara to the wing and slid Sharpe into the off-guard role with Anfernee Simons (illness) out. The switch could be the key to a continued increase for Sharpe, but implementing the change permanently will hurt Scoot Henderson's fantasy outlook.
