Simons supplied 29 points (12-25 FG, 5-12 3Pt), four rebounds, three assists and one steal across 35 minutes during Tuesday's 130-113 victory over the Kings.
EDGE Analysis
Simons carried the first unit with a huge stat line, while other members of the starting lineup failed to have a significant impact on the scoring total. The Trail Blazers recorded an upset win against the Kings without Shaedon Sharpe's (groin) services, but Simons picked up the slack in the backcourt with another flawless game.

Simons accumulated 25 points (7-17 FG, 7-13 3Pt, 4-4 FT), two rebounds, two assists and one steal across 34 minutes during Saturday's 126-106 loss to Golden State.
EDGE Analysis
Simons led all players in Saturday's contest in threes made while leading Portland in scoring in a losing effort. Simons has recorded seven threes in two straight outings, his season-best mark from deep in a game this season. Simons has scored 20 or more points in all but two contests so far this year.

Simons produced 41 points (15-28 FG, 7-14 3Pt, 4-5 FT), four rebounds and seven assists across 38 minutes during Thursday's 118-117 loss to the Wizards.
EDGE Analysis
It was a season-best scoring performance for the 24-year-old guard, who nearly won the game single-handedly for the Trail Blazers. Simons has scored at least 23 points in seven of eight games since returning from a thumb injury that cost him about six weeks of action, averaging 28.3 points, 6.1 assists, 3.5 threes, 3.3 boards and 0.8 steals over that stretch.

Simons ended with 24 points (9-20 FG, 0-5 3Pt, 6-6 FT), three rebounds, seven assists and one steal over 36 minutes during Sunday's 118-114 loss to the Warriors.
EDGE Analysis
Simons has put together an impressive string of games since his return to action, and last week's nine-point effort against Utah was the only time he's scored less then 24 points over the six-game span. The guard has also averaged 20.2 shot attempts since his return, and superb totals should follow if he keeps up the shot volume.

Simons contributed 33 points (13-22 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 5-5 FT), eight rebounds, six assists and two steals across 35 minutes during Saturday's 131-120 loss to the Mavericks.
EDGE Analysis
Simons did a little bit of everything to pace Portland, leading the team in scoring and rebounds while finishing second in rebounds and two boards short of a double-double performance. Simons, who also swiped a pair of steals defensively, has surpassed the 30-point mark three times this season while setting a season-high rebound total in Saturday's loss.

Simons produced 38 points (10-23 FG, 5-11 3Pt, 13-13 FT), one rebound, four assists and one block in 38 minutes during Monday's 132-127 loss to the Clippers.
EDGE Analysis
With Malcolm Brogdon (knee) out, Simons made the best of a bad situation and turned in his best scoring performance of the season in a losing effort. Although he faltered a bit in his first game back from injury, Simons has had a brilliant three-game run, averaging 32.0 points, 5.3 assists and 2.3 rebounds over that span.

Simons had 30 points (10-21 FG, 4-10 3Pt, 6-6 FT), five rebounds, eight assists and one steal over 36 minutes during Friday's 125-112 loss to the Mavericks.
EDGE Analysis
Simons got to work and put his thumb injury fully behind him, as the Trail Blazers desperately needed his production with Malcolm Brogdon (knee), Deandre Ayton (knee) and Jerami Grant (concussion) absent. Simons is the top option in the pecking order, and Brogdon's play may render Shaedon Sharpe the odd man out in the rotation when the team returns to full health.

Simons (thumb) produced 28 points (10-27 FG, 6-13 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four assists and one rebound across 37 minutes during Wednesday's 110-106 loss to Golden State.
EDGE Analysis
Simons faced no limitations in his return to action Wednesday after he had missed the Trail Blazers' previous 18 games while recovering from right thumb surgery. Not only did he reclaim his spot in the starting five, but he also paced the Trail Blazers in field-goal attempts and trailed only Shaedon Sharpe (42) in minutes. With fellow guard Malcolm Brogdon (knee) exiting early with an injury that could cost him time, Simons could be thrust into more responsibilities as a playmaker beginning with Friday's game against the Mavericks.

Simons (thumb) is available and in the starting five for Wednesday's game versus the Warriors, Casey Holdahl of the Trail Blazers' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Simons has been upgraded from questionable to available Wednesday after missing the previous 18 games with a right thumb injury. The 24-year-old guard will start alongside Malcolm Brogdon in the backcourt against Golden State. Simons will operate without a minutes restriction.

Simons (thumb) is officially questionable for Wednesday's game against the Warriors.
EDGE Analysis
Simons has been sidelined for over a month, but he returned to practice Monday and is considered day-to-day. Portland has ruled out Jerami Grant (concussion) for Wednesday and Deandre Ayton (knee) is doubtful, so Simons could step into a massive role on the offensive end right away.
