ANFERNEE SIMONS NEWS

Leads team in surprising win Simons notched 29 points (11-23 FG, 5-11 3Pt, 2-2 FT) and five assists across 38 minutes during Wednesday's 107-105 win over the Lakers.

Impact Few expected Portland to prevail in this game, especially amid the fire sale occurring in the front office. Nevertheless, the Blazers were tenacious and prevailed, led by Simons' excellent shooting night. Simons' role should prove to be interesting when Damian Lillard (abdomen) is healthy, as CJ McCollum's departure will require one of them to serve as the off-guard. At least for now, Simons will remain Portland's best assist source.

Mild performance in blowout loss Simons produced 19 points (7-17 FG, 5-13 3Pt), one rebound, three assists and one steal in 28 minutes during Saturday's 137-108 loss to Milwaukee.

Impact Simons tied for the team lead in scoring with 19 points in the contest, and he was solid from beyond the arc with five three-point makes. However, the fourth-year point guard didn't produce much else in the box score. Simons has scored exactly 19 points in each of his past three games and continues to hold a major role in Portland's game plan, so he should continue to be a strong source of scoring and triples -- as well as a much better source of assists -- moving forward.
