Portland Trail Blazers guard Scoot Henderson’s shot was on point Tuesday night against the Brooklyn Nets. He drove for a dunk, had a put-back dunk, hit a floater and a short jumper, and nailed many three-pointers. Wide-open threes, contested threes, step-back threes, ill-advised threes. It didn’t matter the variety. Almost all of them went in.

Trail Blazers rising star Scoot Henderson had a game to remember against the Nets, making franchise history along the way.

Portland Trail Blazers guard Scoot Henderson has not met expectations over his first two seasons. But, a breakout performance against the Nets might be a turning point for the Blazers’ future floor general.

The Blazers guard had a career-high but that didn't make up for off nights from Anfernee Simons and Deandre Ayton.

Despite losing by an 18-point deficit, Portland's 20-year-old Scoot Henderson dropped in a career-high 39 points against the Nets last night.

The second-year guard established career-highs in points (39), field goals (13), and 3-pointers (eight), shooting 13-of-18 from the field and 5-of-8 from the foul line. Henderson was also responsible for four rebounds, six assists, and two steals in what qualifies as the best performance of his young NBA career.

Portland's second-year guard, the No. 3 pick in the 2023 draft, made his fourth start of the season for the Blazers, who are dealing with a handful of injuries.
