Simons is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Nets with "general illness."

EDGE Analysis

Simons wasn't included on the initial injury report for Wednesday's game that the Trail Blazers released late Tuesday, but the sixth-year guard presumably fell ill overnight. Portland will likely reassess Simons' condition following morning shootaround before providing an update on his status in advance of the 10 p.m. ET opening tip. Malcolm Brogdon (groin) is also iffy to play Wednesday, so if both he and Simons end up sitting out, Scoot Henderson could be in store for a huge minutes load, given that Portland has no other healthy point guards on the roster.

Simons closed Sunday's 127-116 loss to the Suns with 28 points (8-18 FG, 6-12 3Pt, 6-7 FT), five rebounds and five assists across 41 minutes.

EDGE Analysis

Simons was coming off three straight games in which he failed to reach the 15-point mark, but he bounced back admirably here and delivered his eighth game of the campaign with 28 or more points. Simons has struggled with consistency of late, and the team's overall struggles have played a part in that, but he remains one of Portland's most reliable fantasy alternatives due to his scoring prowess, even if he hasn't been very efficient in recent weeks.

Simons ended Thursday's 139-77 loss to Oklahoma City with 14 points (4-13 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 2-4 FT), three rebounds and two assists across 20 minutes.

EDGE Analysis

Similar to Scoot Henderson and the entire Blazers' starting lineup, Simons had a rough outing from the field as Portland suffered one of the biggest defeats the NBA has seen in recent years. Simons remains valuable in fantasy due to his scoring ability and role in the offensive scheme, but he was wildly inefficient in this one. His first chance to bounce back will come against the Timberwolves on Friday.

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.
