Simons had 12 points (4-11 FG, 4-9 3Pt), one rebound, four assists, one block and one steal across 30 minutes during Wednesday's 101-98 loss to the Thunder.
EDGE Analysis
Simons did all of his scoring in this one from beyond the arc, and he also found success distributing the basketball to his teammates for buckets. He's fallen back down to earth in two games since his spectacular 32-point performance Saturday against Houston, but he continues to score in double figures and has done so in eight of 10 December matchups.

Simons logged 32 points (11-21 FG, 5-14 3Pt, 5-5 FT), one rebound, two assists and one steal over 33 minutes during Saturday's 107-95 victory over the Rockets.
EDGE Analysis
Simons turned in a stellar scoring performance, knocking down 52.4 percent of his attempts from the field while also recording his first steal since Dec. 4. He's now put up 20-plus points in three of his last five matchups and continues to add value on the glass and as a passer.

Simons recorded 23 points (9-15 FG, 5-9 3Pt), three rebounds and four assists over 33 minutes during Wednesday's 128-112 victory over the Spurs.
EDGE Analysis
Simons has been inconsistent over the last four games, but this was an excellent performance from the guard, both from a points perspective and an efficiency perspective. Over his last 10 games, Simons has scored at least 20 points in seven outings and is averaging 25.1 points per game during that span.

Simons ended Saturday's 124-118 win over the Timberwolves with 31 points (13-22 FG, 5-10 3Pt), three rebounds and one assist over 35 minutes.
EDGE Analysis
While Simons finished second on the team to Damian Lillard (36 points) for team high-scoring honors, the former had the better shooting game, nailing 13 of 22 field-goal tries. Nearly half of his attempts and makes came from three-point range, and Simons has now converted five or more triples in three of his past four games. It was an impressive bounce-back effort after he scored a season-low six points on 3-for-12 shooting against Denver on Thursday.

Simons contributed six points (3-12 FG, 0-6 3Pt), three rebounds and five assists over 34 minutes during Thursday's 121-120 loss to the Nuggets.
EDGE Analysis
Simons fell in a heap Thursday, putting up easily his worst game of the season. After scoring at least 20 points in four consecutive games, this was merely an off-night for Simons, who thus far has been one of the breakout stars of the season. With Damian Lillard now healthy, Simons is likely to see a bit of a drop-off when compared to his early season numbers. With that said, managers can rest assured he will be better than this moving forward.

Simons amassed 22 points (8-14 FG, 5-9 3Pt, 1-1 FT), three rebounds, six assists and one steal across 36 minutes during Sunday's 116-100 win over Indiana.
EDGE Analysis
Simons couldn't repeat his career-best performance from Saturday against the Jazz, but he still posted a solid stat line even though his numbers were expected to decrease following the return of Damian Lillard to the starting lineup. Even when he has to co-exist with Lillard in the backcourt, and considering what that implies in terms of a decrease in touches, Simons should remain a focal point on offense for the Blazers.

Simons ended Saturday's 116-111 win over the Jazz with a career-high 45 points (15-25 FG, 7-12 3Pt, 8-8 FT) to go with four assists, two rebounds, two blocks and one steal in 41 minutes.
EDGE Analysis
Simons did most of his damage in the first half, as he ripped up the Jazz for 33 points on 12-for-17 shooting from the field through the first two quarters. His pace slowed thereafter, but he still was able to finish with a career high in the scoring column. Simons has embraced a primary role on offense while Damian Lillard (calf) has missed the past seven games, averaging 29.4 points, 5.4 assists and 4.7 triples per contest during that stretch. Lillard could be ready to return to the lineup for the second half of the back-to-back set Sunday against the Pacers, so Simons could soon see his production start to trend down a bit.

Simons produced 22 points (9-22 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, eight assists and one steal across 39 minutes during Wednesday's 128-109 loss to the Lakers.
EDGE Analysis
Simons had trouble getting his shot to fall in the blowout loss, but he still managed to finish with 20-plus points for the 10th time in his past 11 games. He's made it clear that last season's breakout was no fluke, as he's raised his scoring average to 23.8 points per contest while draining 4.1 triples per game. Add 4.5 assists, 3.1 boards and 1.0 steals to his line and you have one of fantasy's most productive shooting guards despite a subpar 42.8 percent field-goal rate.

Simons finished Tuesday's 118-112 loss to the Clippers with 37 points (13-24 FG, 9-16 3Pt, 2-3 FT), two rebounds, four assists, one block and one steal over 43 minutes.
EDGE Analysis
Simons came close to tying his season-high mark in scoring (38), which was established only a few days ago, and he has been excellent of late as he's embracing a bigger role on offense with Damian Lillard (calf) sidelined. Simons has scored at least 20 points in all but two games in the current month, and he's averaging 25.5 points while shooting 43 percent from the field in November.
