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.
