Anfernee Simons News, Rumors, Updates - Portland Trail Blazers

Sinks buzzer-beater for the win 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.

Impact 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.

Goes for 20 points Sunday 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.

Impact 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 is trending in the right direction in recent weeks, though, averaging 20.4 points per game across his last eight appearances.

Erupts for 30 in loss Simons contributed 30 points (8-15 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 11-11 FT), three rebounds, seven assists and two steals across 37 minutes during Friday's 118-116 loss to San Antonio.

Impact The veteran guard tied his season high in scoring, matching the 30 he put up against the Pacers on Nov. 27. Simons has produced at least 14 points in seven of 10 games since returning from a sprained hand, averaging 18.1 points, 4.9 assists, 3.3 boards, 2.7 threes and 1.0 steals over that stretch.

Shooting woes continue Simons racked up 14 points (6-15 FG, 2-7 3Pt), five rebounds and five assists across 28 minutes during Friday's 141-99 loss to Utah.

Impact Simons is firmly entrenched as one of the Blazers' top options on offense, but the star guard has been struggling massively from the field. His volume has been high enough to believe he can hover around the 15-point or 20-point marks on a regular basis, but that hasn't been the case of late due to his shooting woes. Simons has failed to reach the 15-point mark in four of his last eight contests and is shooting just 30.8 percent from the floor in his last two games, both contests in which the Blazers have lost by at least 20 points.

Struggles from field Tuesday Simons registered seven points (2-11 FG, 0-6 3Pt, 3-4 FT), two rebounds, six assists and one steal across 30 minutes during Tuesday's 127-105 loss to the Clippers.

Impact Simons ended his streak of games with at least 20 points in abrupt fashion, but this seven-point outing wasn't his lowest-scoring output of the campaign. Instead, and in a worrying trend, it's becoming an issue fantasy managers are getting used to when dealing with Simons. He's posted single-digit points in five of his last nine appearances, a span in which he's averaging 14.3 points per game while shooting 42.2 percent from the field. Simons should remain rostered across all formats, but the lack of consistency he's experiencing in recent weeks certainly limits his upside, particularly in formats where the lineups need to be established for an entire week.

Scores team-high 27 points Simons finished with 27 points (9-11 FG, 6-8 3Pt, 3-3 FT), three rebounds, five assists and one steal in 23 minutes before fouling out of Sunday's 137-131 loss to the Mavericks.

Impact Simons was extremely efficient in this contest, and he would've been perfect from the field had it not been for two missed three-pointers. Simons came just three points shy of matching his best scoring mark of the campaign, and he's trending in the right direction following his return from a three-game absence due to an illness while also dealing with a right hand sprain of late. Simons has scored at least 25 points in three of his last five appearances.

Pops for 21 against Kings Simons ended with 21 points (8-14 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, nine assists and two steals in 41 minutes during Friday's 115-106 win over Sacramento.

Impact The 25-year-old guard has delivered more than 20 points in three of the last four games, although Simons managed only five points in the fourth contest, and the nine dimes Friday were a season high. He missed three games earlier this month due to a sprained hand that he had attempted to play through, but since returning Simons has looked healthy, going 15-for-41 (36.6 percent) on three-point attempts over the last five games.

Scores season-high 30 points Simons supplied 30 points (10-21 FG, 6-12 3Pt, 4-6 FT), four rebounds, six assists and one steal over 38 minutes during Wednesday's 121-114 loss to Indiana.

Impact Simons delivered arguably his best performance thus far, scoring a season-high 30 points to lead all scorers. Simons' offensive output has been wildly inconsistent this season, scoring at least 20 points on seven occasions, while also scoring single digits five times. Despite some inefficient scoring, Simons should continue to be the focal point of the Trail Blazers' offense moving forward.

Plays hero role Saturday Simons posted 25 points (10-20 FG, 4-11 3Pt, 1-1 FT), four rebounds and three assists over 37 minutes during Saturday's 104-98 victory over the Rockets.

Impact Aside from leading the Trail Blazers in scoring Saturday, Simons came through when Portland needed him the most and drained a huge three when the game was tied late in the fourth quarter. Perhaps more importantly, Simons showed the right hand sprain he's dealing with didn't bother him. That should represent a huge boost for his availability in future contests.

Simons scores 25, Sharpe adds 24 as Trail Blazers bounce back with 104-98 win over Rockets

Anfernee Simons scored 25 points and Shaedon Sharpe added 24 as the Portland Trail Blazers bounced back from a tough loss with a 104-98 win over the Houston Rockets

Available to face Houston Simons (hand) is available for Saturday's game against the Rockets.

Impact Simons will be ready to suit up for the second half of this back-to-back set against the Rockets. The star guard played through a sprained right hand Saturday and was limited to just eight points across 21 minutes. Even though Simons remains a key player for the Blazers on offense, he's recorded single-digit points in his last three appearances dating back to Nov. 10.

NOVEMBER 24 • ROTOWIRE

Likely to play Saturday Simons is listed as probable for Saturday's game against the Rockets due to a sprained right hand.

Impact Simons played through the injury Friday -- logging eight points across 21 minutes -- and he's on track to suit up again Saturday. The 25-year-old is averaging 15.6 points and 3.9 assists across 29.1 minutes per game this season.

NOVEMBER 23 • ROTOWIRE

Plays 21 minutes in return Simons (illness/hand) logged eight points (2-7 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 3-3 FT), two rebounds and one steal in 21 minutes Friday in the Trail Blazers' 116-88 loss to the Rockets.

Impact Though Simons' minutes were limited in his return from a three-game absence due to an illness and a right hand sprain, the light playing time had more to do with the Rockets turning the game into a blowout by the end of the third quarter. Simons checked out of the game with 4:38 left in the third and didn't play at all in the fourth, but he should see his minutes rise if the Trail Blazers are able to be more competitive with the Rockets in a rematch Saturday in Houston. Though Simons should re-emerge as one of the Trail Blazers' top scoring options before long, efficiency remains a concern for the young guard, who is converting on just 37.8 percent of his field-goal attempts and 30 percent of his three-point tries through 13 outings on the season.
