Simons scored six points (2-3 FG, 2-3 3Pt) over 10 minutes in Thursday's win over the Kings.

EDGE Analysis

Simons was efficient on his field-goal tries -- which all came from deep -- in the victory, but he didn't spend enough time on the court to make a viable fantasy impact. The third-year guard is averaging only 10.8 minutes per contest over his past five games, which has resulted in a nosedive in fantasy value. Simons had built some intrigue during a nine-game stretch in February during which he drained 2.9 three-pointers per game and averaged 12.1 points per contest, but that now feels like the distant past.

Simons tallied 16 points (4-10 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 4-4 FT), three rebounds, one assist and one steal over 30 minutes in Friday's 129-110 win over the Cavaliers.

EDGE Analysis

Simons saw plenty of playing time against the Cavaliers on Friday, and he recorded a double-digit scoring total for a fifth consecutive game while shooting 44.4 percent from beyond the arc. Across the past five matchups, Simons is averaging 12.8 points, 2.4 rebounds and 2.0 assists over 22.4 minutes per game.

Simons had 12 points (4-8 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 1-1 FT), three assists, on rebound and one steal in 18 minutes during Saturday's 110-99 loss to the Knicks.

EDGE Analysis

The 21-year-old is still facing a minutes restriction of 20 minutes while returning from a hamstring injury, but he's still proving productive off the bench. Simons should continue to have a regular role off the bench for Portland.

Simons will face another minutes restriction in Saturday's game against the Knicks, Jay Allen of NBC Sports Northwest Rip City Radio 620 reports.

EDGE Analysis

Simons was limited to 19 minutes in Thursday's game, and his playing time will be restricted once again Saturday. He could continue to see a slight uptick in playing time as he returns to full health, but coach Terry Stotts didn't specify how much he'll play against the Knicks.

Simons will face a restriction of roughly 20 minutes in Thursday's game against the 76ers, Blazers radio host Jay Allen reports.

EDGE Analysis

With Damian Lillard (abdomen) out, this was shaping up to be a potential high-minute night for Simons, but he tweaked his hamstring earlier in the week, so the Blazers will play it safe with his workload. Simons will come off the bench with Gary Trent Jr. and Rodney Hood comprising the starting backcourt.

Simons (hamstring) is not on the injury report for Thursday's game against the 76ers.

EDGE Analysis

Simons aggravated a hamstring injury during Tuesday's game against the Wizards, but he's absent from the injury report ahead of Thursday's action against the Sixers. With Damian Lillard (abdominal) questionable, Simons is in line to potentially get the start at point guard.

Coach Terry Stotts said Simons aggravated a hamstring injury during Tuesday's win over the Wizards, Jay Allen of NBC Sports Northwest Rip City Radio 620 reports.

EDGE Analysis

The 21-year-old was averaging 15.8 points in 27.4 minutes over the previous five games, and the hamstring issue helps explain why he was limited to three points (1-4 FG, 1-3 3Pt) in 14 minutes Tuesday. Simons should be considered questionable for Thursday's matchup with the Sixers until the team updates his status.

Simons supplied 15 points (5-15 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five assists, three rebounds and two blocks across 30 minutes Monday in the Trail Blazers' 134-106 loss to the Bucks.

EDGE Analysis

The blowout nature of the contest helped Simons reach a new season-high in minutes while Damian Lillard's playing time took a hit, but the third-year guard had already been averaging 26.8 minutes over the past four games. Thanks to the absences of CJ McCollum (foot), Jusuf Nurkic (wrist) and Derrick Jones (foot), Simons looks like he'll be able to maintain a steady 25-to-30-minute role for the foreseeable future, giving him value for fantasy managers in 12- or 14-team leagues looking for scoring and three-point production.

Simons provided 14 points (5-13 FG, 4-9 3Pt) and eight rebounds across 28 minutes in Thursday's 104-101 loss to the Rockets.

EDGE Analysis

Simons is just one of a host of guards called upon to absorb CJ McCollum's lost production, but the former 2019 first-round pick has youth on his side and is a better long-term solution for Portland's plans. We saw flashes of what he could do last season, but this is probably the most useful spot he's encountered in his third year with the team. While he's not a reliable source for production in seasonal leagues, he presents decent value in DFS formats while McCollum is sidelined.

Simons went for 26 points (10-17 FG, 6-10 3Pt), two rebounds, one assist and one steal in 29 minutes during Monday's 125-122 loss to the Thunder.

EDGE Analysis

Simons saw a sizeable amount of playing time after it was later revealed that Rodney Hood (thigh contusion) was a late-scratch. We have seen this before from Simons and while the scoring is intriguing, he typically offers very little else. The Trail Blazers are adopting a group approach when it comes to covering for C.J. McCollum (foot) and so a clear pickup is tough to nail down.
