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.

Simons produced 22 points (9-22 FG, 4-10 3Pt), one rebound, four assists and one steal across 37 minutes during Thursday's 117-111 loss to the Mavericks.
EDGE Analysis
Simons logged a team-high 37 minutes and tied with Shaedon Sharpe for the most points with 22 during Thursday's loss. Simons has seen a slight reduction in his offensive output this season, averaging 18.6 points per contest compared to 22.6 in 2023-24. This is mostly due to the 25-year-old guard playing 2.5 minutes per game less, as well as shooting just 35.8 percent from three compared to 38.5 percent last year.

Simons logged 36 points (14-21 FG, 8-12 3Pt), two rebounds and nine assists over 36 minutes during Monday's 118-115 loss to Detroit.
EDGE Analysis
Simons did it all for Portland on the offensive end of the floor Monday, leading all players in scoring, threes made and assists while coming up one dime shy of a double-double. Simons set season-high marks in scoring and threes made while posting his third outing of the campaign with nine or more dimes. Simons has tallied 30 or more points on three occasions this year.

Simons registered 23 points (8-17 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 3-3 FT), five assists, three rebounds and two steals in 37 minutes during Thursday's 114-106 loss to the Lakers.
EDGE Analysis
Simons posted a team-high mark in scoring, logging his 15th outing with 20-plus points through 30 regular-season appearances. The 25-year-old delivered a solid performance from beyond the arc Thursday, though he has struggled a bit with efficiency from three-point range in the early part of the season, during which he has averaged 17.7 points while shooting only 33.5 percent from deep. Over his last five outings, Simons has averaged 17.6 points, 5.0 assists and 2.8 rebounds across 33.2 minutes per contest.

Simons ended Monday's 125-103 loss to the 76ers with 25 points (9-18 FG, 4-10 3Pt, 3-4 FT), four rebounds and four assists in 30 minutes.
EDGE Analysis
The Blazers looked completely overmatched in this loss Monday, but Simons delivered a solid fantasy output despite the team's struggles. This was the fifth time he reached the 20-point mark over his last eight games, and while Portland has gone 3-5 over that stretch, Simons has managed to average 20.1 points, 6.0 assists, 2.9 rebounds and 1.4 steals per game. Simons has been one of the few silver linings for the Blazers from a fantasy perspective this season.

Simons totaled eight points (3-12 FG, 2-8 3Pt), three rebounds, three assists and two steals in 30 minutes during Thursday's 122-120 victory over the Jazz.
EDGE Analysis
For the seventh time this season, Simons failed to hit double digits in the scoring column. Although Simons has scored 20 or more points 12 times this season and 25 or more seven times, the talented 25-year-old guard has been anything but consistent with his scoring, with no telling what he'll produce from night to night.

Simons closed with 18 points (7-22 FG, 3-11 3Pt, 1-1 FT), four rebounds, six assists and five steals in 33 minutes during Saturday's 114-94 loss to the Spurs.
EDGE Analysis
Simons didn't have his best shooting performance, but he still salvaged his fantasy line by recording a season-high mark in steals. Simons also snapped a streak of three games with at least 20 points, but he's reached the 18-point mark five times in eight December contests, so he's been finding ways to produce. Simons is averaging nearly 18 points per game this season, and he's been one of the Blazers' most consistent scoring weapons despite the team's overall struggles.

Simons finished with 28 points (11-20 FG, 4-11 3Pt, 2-3 FT), one rebound and 10 assists in 35 minutes during Thursday's 126-124 victory over the Nuggets.
EDGE Analysis
Simons drove past Russell Westbrook and made a layup with one second remaining, sealing the victory and ending the Trail Blazers' six-game skid. While Portland has struggled with injuries, Simons has been a steady presence in the starting lineup, missing only three of 24 games this season. He's in the midst of an excellent three-game run, averaging 26.0 points, 7.3 assists, 2.7 rebounds and 1.3 steals.

Simons racked up 20 points (7-15 FG, 4-10 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, five assists and two steals in 37 minutes during Sunday's 116-109 loss to the Suns.
EDGE Analysis
Simons has scored 20 or more points in back-to-back games just four times this season, so the lack of consistency conspires a bit against his fantasy upside. That said, he has the green light to shoot from everywhere as one of the Blazers' go-to offensive options. Simons has been trending in the right direction in recent weeks, averaging 20.4 points per game across his last eight appearances.
