Anfernee Simons Has Nine Triples, 33 Points Against Washington
2 years agoPortland Trail Blazers guard Anfernee Simons was the team's top scorer in Friday's 124-116 win over Washington, shooting 11-for-19 from the field and a godly 9-for-12 from downtown. Damian Lillard, who has been on a complete tear lately, settled for 29 points this time around, allowing Simons to lead the team in scoring this season for the 11th time. The young guard also produced five rebounds, six assists and one steal with only one turnover in 37 minutes. Lillard has grabbed all the headlines lately, but Simons has also been having a nice stretch on the background, scoring at least 26 points in five of his last seven outings.

Anfernee Simons Ruled Out Versus The Hawks
2 days agoPortland Trail Blazers guard Anfernee Simons (forearm) won't play on Tuesday against Atlanta. He has been dealing with a forearm injury of late, although he was able to play in Sunday's loss to the Knicks, finishing with 15 points, four assists, and two steals. However, with Simons and Scoot Henderson (concussion) ruled out, Dalano Banton will get the start, giving him plenty of upside for fantasy managers. Shaedon Sharpe, Toumani Camara, and Deni Avdija are also in line for more scoring opportunities, especially with Jerami Grant (knee) also unable to suit up.

Anfernee Simons Iffy For Tuesday's Game
2 days agoPortland Trail Blazers guard Anfernee Simons (forearm) is listed on the injury report on Thursday with a questionable tag, meaning he may have to sit out a meeting with the Atlanta Hawks. The talented scorer has been dealing with a right forearm injury for some time. He was also listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the New York Knicks but ended up playing 35 minutes as a starter in that game. However, it seems that the injury to his shooting hand affected him against the Knicks, as Simons made only five of his 20 field-goal attempts during a 15-point performance. Scoot Henderson (concussion) also has health concerns, so the Trail Blazers backcourt may need to get more out of Dalano Banton going forward.

Anfernee Simons May Miss Sunday's Game
4 days agoPortland Trail Blazers guard Anfernee Simons (forearm) is questionable for Sunday's matchup with the New York Knicks. The Trail Blazers likely aren't going anywhere near the postseason in any capacity, so it's hard to gauge just how severe his injury is. With that said, Simons' absence could surely open the door for added production from Shaedon Sharpe and Deni Avdija. Scoot Henderson's (concussion) absence should also mean Dalano Banton could see some meaningful work, even more so if Jerami Grant (knee) remains out.
