Simons registered four points (2-9 FG, 0-4 3Pt), one rebound and one assist in 19 minutes during Sunday's 134-89 loss to the Grizzlies.

EDGE Analysis

Simons had his worst game of the season Sunday, and even though his numbers had been trending in the wrong direction of late, he reached a new low in this one, missing seven of his nine shots and failing to do much in other categories. Despite the dud, Simons should remain one of the Trail Blazers' most reliable options on offense.

Simons recorded 14 points (6-16 FG, 2-7 3Pt), two rebounds and two assists over 27 minutes during Friday's 127-102 loss to the Timberwolves.

EDGE Analysis

Simons was far from efficient in this 25-point blowout loss to the Timberwolves, ending the game with more field-goal attempts than points scored for the second time in his last four games. Despite the shooting woes and the lack of efficiency that has seen Simons shoot a meager 38.9 percent from the field in his first nine games this season, he should remain the Trail Blazers' primary offensive weapon.

Simons registered 19 points (7-16 FG, 3-9 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven assists and one steal across 33 minutes during Thursday's 118-105 loss to the Spurs.

EDGE Analysis

The 25-year-old tied his season high in assists while finishing as the game's third-highest scorer behind Deandre Ayton (21) and Jerami Grant (21). However, Simons did struggle from three-point range, and he has shot only 32.0 percent from beyond the arc through nine regular-season outings. The guard has taken a step back in scoring the rock this season, during which he has averaged 19.4 points, 5.3 assists, 2.3 rebounds and 0.9 steals across 33.9 minutes per game.

Simons finished Monday's 118-100 win over the Pelicans with 24 points (10-17 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 1-1 FT), one rebound, four assists and one steal in 34 minutes.

EDGE Analysis

Simons delivered his fifth game with 20 or more points in eight appearances this season, but he took a step forward in the efficiency department after shooting a meager 35.6 percent from the field in his previous seven contests. Simons should continue to operate as one of Portland's go-to players on offense going forward, though an uptick in the efficiency department would go a long way toward boosting his upside even further.

Simons logged 20 points (8-25 FG, 4-13 3Pt, 0-1 FT), eight rebounds, six assists and two steals across 41 minutes during Saturday's 103-97 loss to the Suns.

EDGE Analysis

Simons didn't have his best shooting percentage Saturday, but he still posted a solid stat line. The star guard finished just two boards shy of a double-double and filled the stat sheet in other categories, backing up the impact he can make on defense and as a playmaker. Simons has scored at least 20 points in four of his seven contests, and while he's been lacking consistency at times, he should remain one of Portland's best players as long as he remains healthy.

Simons (arm) isn't on the injury report for Saturday's game versus the Suns.

EDGE Analysis

Simons left Friday's contest early after falling awkwardly on his arm but doesn't appear to have suffered a serious injury. The 25-year-old guard is averaging 18.7 points, 5.2 assists and 2.0 rebounds in 33.0 minutes across his six appearances this season.

Simons left Friday's 137-114 loss to the Thunder with 9:26 left in the fourth quarter after landing awkwardly on a dunk attempt and never returned. He finished the contest with nine points (1-8 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 6-6 FT), six assists, four rebounds and a block in 28 minutes.

EDGE Analysis

Coach Chauncey Billups said after the game that Simons was in the process of getting checked out by the medical staff but didn't think the injury was anything serious. Either way, with the Trail Blazers back in action Saturday against the Suns, Simons is still in danger of missing at least one contest. If that's the case, Scoot Henderson would likely make his first start of the campaign.

Simons closed Wednesday's 106-105 victory over the Clippers with 25 points (10-24 FG, 3-9 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds and six assists in 36 minutes.

EDGE Analysis

Simons started to get hot in the third quarter and narrowed the gap with an excellent final stanza. The Clippers went ice-cold offensively, and Simons took advantage, sinking the go-ahead layup to seal the win. Although the team is 2-3, Simons has put together five solid performances, albeit with inefficient shooting, and the team looks improved thanks to his output.

Simons logged 12 points (4-12 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 3-4 FT), one rebound and three assists in 32 minutes during Monday's 111-98 loss to the Kings.

EDGE Analysis

Simons couldn't find his range Monday as Portland fell to 1-3 on the season. That's been the norm for Simons early on this campaign, as he's now shooting 37.7 percent from the field and 30.3 percent from beyond the arc with averages of 19.5 points, 4.8 assists, 1.5 rebounds, 1.0 steals and 2.5 three-pointers through four games.

Simons logged 27 points (8-17 FG, 5-10 3Pt, 6-6 FT), two rebounds, six assists and two steals in 33 minutes during Sunday's 125-103 victory over New Orleans.

EDGE Analysis

Simons led the Trail Blazers with six dimes Sunday, and he was the second-leading scorer for Portland behind Jerami Grant (28). Through the first three games of the regular season, Simons is averaging 22.0 points, 5.3 assists, 1.7 rebounds and 1.3 steals over 34.0 minutes per game.
