Simons had 12 points (4-14 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds and three assists in 27 minutes during Tuesday's 112-84 loss to New York.

EDGE Analysis

Simons needed 14 shots to score 12 points, and to make things worse, he's failed to score more than 15 points in three of his last four games. He does have a 38-point, 11-assist effort in that span, but it seems he's trending in the wrong direction of late. Simons is averaging 24.6 points per contest over his last 10 appearances, so he should be able to bounce back sooner rather than later.

Simons ended with 38 points (13-25 FG, 5-10 3Pt, 7-8 FT), four rebounds and 11 assists over 45 minutes during Sunday's 134-127 overtime win over the Nets.

EDGE Analysis

Simons put forth his best performance of the year in an overtime victory, leading all players in Sunday's contest in scoring, threes made and assists en route to his first double-double of the year. Simons set a season high in assists while crossing the double-digit mark for the first time this year. He has connected on five or more threes in five games this season while scoring at least 35 points in three outings.

Simons won't have a minutes restriction during Sunday's matchup against the Nets, Aaron J. Fentress of The Oregonian reports.

EDGE Analysis

Following a three-game absence, Simons has played 27 minutes and 23 minutes over his last two appearances, respectively. Before his recent injury, Simons averaged 34.9 minutes per game over his first 10 appearances this season. While he likely won't eclipse 35 minutes Sunday, it's safe to assume he'll play close to 30 minutes versus Brooklyn.

Simons contributed 15 points (5-16 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 4-4 FT), five rebounds and three assists in 27 minutes during Wednesday's 126-97 loss to the Mavericks.

EDGE Analysis

Simons returned to action after missing three straight games due to an illness, ending with 15 points on poor shooting. The Trail Blazers were never in the game, resulting in limited minutes for the starters. Managers will have to look beyond this performance and simply be thankful that Simons was back on the floor. Look for him to bounce back when the two teams clash again Friday.

Simons (illness) is available for Wednesday's game versus the Mavericks, Casey Holdahl of the Trail Blazers' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Simons has been upgraded from questionable to available Wednesday after missing the last three games with a non-COVID illness. The 24-year-old guard will replace Malcolm Brogdon in the starting lineup against Dallas. However, Simons is set to play on a minutes restriction.

Simons (illness) has been upgraded to questionable in advance of Wednesday's game against the Mavericks, Sean Highkin of RoseGardenReport.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Simons is amid a three-game absence due to illness, but the 24-year-old appears to be on the mend. Simons is averaging 27.1 points, 3.1 rebounds and 5.3 assists in 34.2 minutes per game across 11 appearances this season.

Simons (illness) will not play in Monday's game versus the Suns.

EDGE Analysis

Simons and Deandre Ayton (knee) are sitting out for Portland, while Shaedon Sharpe (groin) is questionable. Malcolm Brogdon is likely going to see another heavy workload for the Trail Blazers, as he's played at least 37 minutes in three of his past four appearances. Scoot Henderson will have more opportunities as well, and he's coming off arguably the best game of his season with 22 points, 11 assists, seven rebounds, one steal, one block and three triples against the Spurs on Friday.

Simons (illness) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Spurs.

EDGE Analysis

Simons missed Thursday's loss to the Spurs due to an illness and will remain sidelined for the second half of a back-to-back set. His next opportunity to suit up will come Monday in Phoenix, which is the first matchup in a seven-game road trip. The Trail Blazers are going to be shorthanded Friday, so Scoot Henderson, Malcolm Brogdon and Skylar Mays should handle the majority of the point-guard responsibilities in Simons' absence.

Simons (illness) will be held out of Thursday's game against the Spurs, Danny Marang of 1080 The Fan Portland reports.

EDGE Analysis

Simons was a late addition to the injury report Thursday and isn't feeling well enough to give it a go. It remains to be seen if he'll be able to play in Friday's rematch against the Spurs, so for now, consider him questionable. With Simons out, Scoot Henderson will make the sixth start of his rookie campaign.

Simons is listed as questionable for Thursday's game versus the Spurs due to an illness.

EDGE Analysis

Simons is in danger of missing his first game Thursday since Dec. 2 after being a late addition to the injury report with a general illness. If Simons is ultimately downgraded to out, Scoot Henderson, Malcolm Brogdon and Skylar Mays are candidates to receive increased minutes.
