EDGE Analysis

It was a season-best scoring performance for the 24-year-old guard, who nearly won the game single-handedly for the Trail Blazers. Simons has scored at least 23 points in seven of eight games since returning from a thumb injury that cost him about six weeks of action, averaging 28.3 points, 6.1 assists, 3.5 threes, 3.3 boards and 0.8 steals over that stretch.
