Scores 17 points off the bench
Grant closed Sunday's 114-107 loss to the Clippers with 17 points (4-10 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 7-9 FT), two rebounds, one block and one steal over 29 minutes.
Analysis
While Grant has been coming off the bench for Portland this season, he's still earning 28.1 minutes per game, which is plenty of time for him to impact the box score. Through the first three games, he's been a top-60 guy with averages of 22.7 points, 2.3 rebounds, 1.0 assist, 2.7 triples, 0.7 steals, 0.7 blocks and 1.3 turnovers per game. However, he's doing this while shooting 58.8 percent from the floor, which is not sustainable, so enjoy the hot streak while it lasts.

Leads second unit in Friday's rout
Grant accumulated 22 points (6-10 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 8-10 FT), two rebounds, two assists and one steal over 28 minutes off the bench during Friday's 139-119 victory over Golden State.
Analysis
The veteran forward has come off the bench in two straight games to begin the season, and so far, Grant seems to be thriving in the new role. He's averaging 25.5 points, and he's been locked in from beyond the arc, going 6-for-11 (54.5 percent) on three-point attempts. Grant hasn't added much else yet from a fantasy perspective, but he averaged 1.9 steals plus blocks last season and should be able to contribute in the defensive categories as well.

Balls out in bench role
Grant had 29 points (10-14 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 5-6 FT), three rebounds, one assist and one block across 28 minutes during Wednesday's 118-114 loss to the Timberwolves.
Analysis
Although Grant's advanced age doesn't fit well with Portland's youth-based rebuild blueprint, it will be hard to keep him on the bench if he sustains this kind of production. Grant's season-ending knee injury allowed Deni Avdija and Toumani Camara to assume starting roles in the offense, so the veteran will begin the season as the odd man out. Wednesday's result made a strong case for getting him back in the mix.
