EDGE Analysis

After taking a hard fall in Tuesday's win over Miami, Simons is dealing with lower back soreness that's jeopardizing his status for Thursday's tough matchup against Orlando. If the star guard is unable to suit up for the Blazers, Shaedon Sharpe and Dalano Banton would be in line to take on more prominent roles in Portland's rotation.

Simons had 24 points (9-20 FG, 6-12 3Pt, 0-1 FT), four rebounds, three assists and one block in 35 minutes during Tuesday's 116-107 win over the Heat.

EDGE Analysis

After missing Portland's previous contest due to a right elbow strain, Simons was back in the starting lineup alongside Scoot Henderson. That is a backcourt combo that could stick in the short term with Shaedon Sharpe coming off the bench. January has been Simons' best month of the season so far with averages of 20.2 points, 5.0 assists, 2.9 rebounds, 0.6 steals and 4.2 three-pointers on 44.0 percent shooting over his last 10 outings.

EDGE Analysis

Simons missed the second leg of Portland's back-to-back set Sunday against the Bulls, and the guard remains day-to-day. If Simons is unable to suit up, Scoot Henderson will likely remain heavily involved. Henderson put up 25 points, eight assists, seven rebounds, two steals and three triples across 38 minutes Sunday.

Simons (elbow) is out for Sunday's game against the Bulls, Danny Marang of 1080 The Fan Portland reports.

EDGE Analysis

Simons scored 13 points against the Rockets on Saturday, but he won't be available for this matchup, meaning the Blazers won't have one of their most prolific scoring weapons. Scoot Henderson will take his place in the starting lineup, and Simons' next chance to suit up will come against the Heat on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

This is a big concern for Simons' fantasy managers, as this game is the second leg of a back-to-back set. Plus, the Trail Blazers aren't exactly in a position to push their players at less than 100 percent. If Simons is unable to play, Scoot Henderson could be looking at a lot of usage Sunday evening.

Simons racked up zero points (0-9 FG, 0-5 3Pt), one rebound, five assists and one steal in 30 minutes during Thursday's 118-89 loss to the Clippers.

EDGE Analysis

Simons had a woeful showing Thursday and finished scoreless for the first time this season, although it's worth noting this was his eighth game below double-digit points. His shooting woes have been impossible to hide lately, as Simons has made just 33.3 percent of his shots from the floor over his last four appearances.

Simons chipped in 11 points (3-12 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 3-3 FT), one rebound and four assists over 32 minutes during Tuesday's 132-114 loss to the Nets.

EDGE Analysis

Players like Scoot Henderson and Shaedon Sharpe carried the Trail Blazers on offense, but Simons still struggled badly and posted a woeful shooting line after making just 25 percent of his 12 attempts from the field. However, one bad game won't drastically alter Simons' fantasy upside, and he handles enough volume on offense to believe he'll likely bounce back sooner rather than later. The numbers back that up as well. Over his previous nine games, Simons averaged 23.6 points per game while shooting 47.5 percent from the floor.

Simons racked up 28 points (10-23 FG, 7-14 3Pt, 1-1 FT), four rebounds and three assists in 33 minutes during Saturday's 119-98 loss to the Heat.

EDGE Analysis

Simons recorded his 19th game with 20-plus points while leading the Trail Blazers in scoring, albeit in a losing effort. The seventh-year pro was efficient from outside in Saturday's loss, and he has knocked down three or more triples in 21 of his 35 regular-season appearances. The 25-year-old has been on a tear in January, and over his last six outings, he has averaged 25.7 points, 5.7 assists and 3.2 rebounds while shooting 50.0 percent from the floor in 35.5 minutes per contest.
