It's been a rotating cast of characters that have stepped up to complement the scoring of Damian Lillard and CJ McCollum when the Portland Trail Blazers have need it this season. In Monday's 105-101 victory over the New Orleans Pelicans at Moda Center, it was swingman Gerald Henderson scoring a season-high 19 points on 7-of-10 shooting to spark Portland off the bench.
While Henderson's minutes have been inconsistent in his first season as a Trail Blazer after missing the preseason and first two weeks of the regular season due to hip surgery, the seven-year NBA veteran has been ready for a chance to make an impact on his new team.
