Simons collected 25 points (9-20 FG, 4-12 3PT, 3-3 FT), four assists and one steal in 32 minutes Monday against the Heat.

EDGE Analysis

Simons played a key role in his squad's 110-107 victory, though he showed some signs of rust after missing his last two contests with a foot injury. While he did need 20 field-goal attempts to reach 25 points, he still led the Trail Blazers in scoring. The shot opportunities should continue to be there for Simons, as he's attempted 17 or more shots in seven of eight contests this season.

Simons (foot) will be available Monday at Miami.

EDGE Analysis

As expected, Simons will return to action Monday, but coach Chauncey Billups said pregame that the guard will have a minutes limit. It's unclear what, exactly, that limit will be, so Simons will make for a fairly risky play in DFS contests Monday night.

Simons (foot) is expected to play Monday against Miami, per head coach Chauncey Billups, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports. Assuming Simons does play, he will face an unspecified minutes restriction, per Trail Blazers reporter Casey Holdahl.

EDGE Analysis

Swelling in his left foot has kept Simons out of the Blazers' last two games, but he's made progress in the last 24 hours and -- barring some sort of setback in pregame warmups -- should be back in action Monday. The Blazers will also get Damian Lillard back from a strained calf, so while Simons will remain in the starting five next to the superstar guard, he'll return to a slightly reduced role as Portland's second or third option on offense.

Simons (foot) was upgraded to questionable for Monday's game against the Heat.

EDGE Analysis

Simons has missed each of the Trail Blazers' previous two contests due to foot inflammation and was initially listed as doubtful for Monday. With Damian Lillard (calf) also questionable, Portland's backcourt will certainly be a situation to monitor closer to tip-off.

Simons (foot) is doubtful for Monday's matchup against the Heat.

EDGE Analysis

Simons will likely miss a third straight game due to a foot injury. It's unclear when he may return to action, but after Monday's game, his next chance to suit up will come Wednesday against the Hornets.

Simons (foot) is out for Saturday's game against the Suns, Aaron J. Fentress of The Oregonian reports.

EDGE Analysis

Simons will miss a second straight game Saturday. Justise Winslow got the nod Friday and will presumably start again against the Suns. Keon Johnson, Shaedon Sharpe and Nassir Little should also see extra run once more.

Simons (foot) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Suns.

EDGE Analysis

Simons will miss his first game of the season Friday due to left foot inflammation. With Damian Lillard (calf) also sidelined, the bulk of Portland's backcourt responsibilities will likely fall on Shaedon Sharpe and Josh Hart, while Keon Johnson could also be in the mix for increased minutes.

Simons is questionable for Friday's game against Phoenix due to left foot inflammation, Sean Highkin of RoseGardenReport.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Coming off a 31-point performance in Wednesday's loss to the Grizzlies, it appears Simons' status for Friday's matchup with the Suns is up in the air due to a foot issue. With Damian Lillard (calf) already ruled out for the contest, Shaedon Sharpe would be in line for an even bigger workload if Simons is forced to miss his first game of the season.

Simons closed with 31 points (10-21 FG, 4-11 3Pt, 7-8 FT), three rebounds and eight assists across 40 minutes during Wednesday's 111-106 loss to Memphis.

EDGE Analysis

With Damian Lillard (calf) out of the lineup again, Simons took over the lead role on offense and poured in a game-high 31 points. He also led the Blazers with eight dimes and four triples. Simons has scored 29 or more points in three of his past four contests, and he's averaging 22.0 points, 3.9 dimes, 2.4 boards and 3.7 three-pointers on the campaign.

Simons ended Friday's 125-111 win over Houston with 30 points (10-20 FG, 7-15 3Pt, 3-3 FT), five rebounds, seven assists, one block and one steal over 38 minutes.

EDGE Analysis

Simons shined once again Friday, assuming the role of being the primary scorer with Damian Lillard still sidelined with a calf injury. While Simons should see plenty of shots on most nights, he will take things up a notch when Lillard is not on the floor. With the veteran set to miss at least another few games, Simons should be an elite source of points and threes for the foreseeable future.
