Simons contributed 36 points (10-23 FG, 5-13 3Pt, 11-11 FT), seven rebounds, eight assists and one steal over 43 minutes during Wednesday's 106-102 victory over the Hawks.
EDGE Analysis
Simons reached the 30-point mark for the third time this month, and he continues to prove he can carry the team offensively when the situation calls for it. Simons has been on a tear lately and has been averaging 24.9 points, 6.9 assists and 4.8 rebounds per game since the beginning of March.

Simons had 17 points (6-18 FG, 3-9 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds and three assists in 34 minutes during Monday's 121-99 loss to the Celtics.
EDGE Analysis
The 24-year-old guard saw his streak of games with more than 20 points end at five, but Simons extended his stretch with at least three made three-pointers to six. During his hot streak from beyond the arc, he's averaging 26.0 points, 6.5 assists, 4.3 boards, 4.2 threes and 0.8 steals while shooting 43.9 percent from long distance.

Simons recorded 29 points (10-19 FG, 5-10 3Pt, 4-4 FT), three rebounds, five assists and one steal over 40 minutes during Wednesday's 128-120 loss to the Thunder.
EDGE Analysis
As expected, Simons carried another heavy load in the backcourt, although Jerami Grant's return to action eased the pressure somewhat. Simons connected on five three-pointers for the second consecutive evening, and he's hit 22 from long range since the All-Star break.

Simons posted 34 points (13-26 FG, 5-13 3Pt, 3-3 FT), five rebounds and 14 assists over 43 minutes during Monday's 119-114 loss to the Timberwolves.
EDGE Analysis
Simons was impressive in this defeat against one of the best teams in the Western Conference, and the young shooter continues to prove he can rack up impressive stats even when the rest of the team doesn't support him. This was Simons' second consecutive 30-point effort, and he has reached this mark nine times already, but the Blazers have gone 2-7 in those contests. Simons, who's averaging 22.2 points, 6.4 assists and 4.1 rebounds per game since the beginning of February, should endure another heavy workload when the Blazers face the Thunder on Wednesday.

Simons had 30 points (10-23 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 6-7 FT), seven rebounds and seven assists across 45 minutes during Saturday's 107-100 overtime victory over Memphis.
EDGE Analysis
Simons came through in a game where the Trail Blazers, as depleted as they were, needed him the most, and the star guard responded by posting his first 30-point performance since Jan. 26. Simons is undoubtedly a proven scorer, but he had been delivering some inconsistent performances of late, failing to surpass the 10-point mark in two of his last five outings since the conclusion of the All-Star break while reaching the 20-point mark in the other three. During that five-game stretch, Simons averaged 18.8 points per game while shooting 37.2 percent from the field.

Simons finished with 26 points (10-26 FG, 4-11 3Pt, 2-2 FT), one rebound and four assists in 41 minutes during Tuesday's 106-96 loss to the Heat.
EDGE Analysis
Simons unsurprisingly worked as the focal point on offense for Portland on Tuesday, taking 11 more shots than any other player on the team. However, he wasn't very efficient with those attempts, though he was able to shoot a respectable 4-for-11 from three-point range. Simons should continue to get ample opportunity to hoist up shots, which makes him a viable source of scoring for fantasy managers who are willing to stomach his 42.5 percent field-goal rate on the campaign.

Simons ended Sunday's 93-80 loss to the Hornets with 10 points (4-21 FG, 0-8 3Pt, 2-2 FT) and four rebounds across 35 minutes.
EDGE Analysis
Simons was expected to be among the offensive leaders for the Trail Blazers on Sunday, but instead, he made just four of his 21 shots en route to a 10-point effort -- his fourth-worst performance of the campaign. Simons should be good enough to bounce back sooner than later, however, as he has scored at least 20 points in five of his seven February appearances, though he'll have a tough matchup against the Heat on Tuesday.

Simons logged 20 points (6-19 FG, 4-10 3Pt, 4-4 FT), three rebounds, five assists and one steal over 32 minutes during Tuesday's 121-109 loss to the Timberwolves.
EDGE Analysis
Simons was a welcome addition to the starting lineup amid the rash of backcourt injuries. Although Simons converted four three-pointers, he shot only 31.5 percent from the floor and may need a game or two to get back on track. Simons and the rest of the backcourt will get extra time to heal during the All-Star break.

EDGE Analysis
Simons has been upgraded from probable to available Tuesday after missing Portland's previous game with a left ankle sprain. The 24-year-old guard should replace Ashton Hagans in the starting lineup against Minnesota.
