Impact Simons led all players in Saturday's contest in threes made while leading Portland in scoring in a losing effort. Simons has recorded seven threes in two straight outings, his season-best mark from deep in a game this season. Simons has scored 20 or more points in all but two contests so far this year.

Pours in season-high 41 Simons produced 41 points (15-28 FG, 7-14 3Pt, 4-5 FT), four rebounds and seven assists across 38 minutes during Thursday's 118-117 loss to the Wizards.

Impact 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.

Pours in 24 points Simons ended with 24 points (9-20 FG, 0-5 3Pt, 6-6 FT), three rebounds, seven assists and one steal over 36 minutes during Sunday's 118-114 loss to the Warriors.

Impact Simons has put together an impressive string of games since his return to action, and last week's nine-point effort against Utah was the only time he's scored less then 24 points over the six-game span. The guard has also averaged 20.2 shot attempts since his return, and superb totals should follow if he keeps up the shot volume.

Blows up with 38 points Simons produced 38 points (10-23 FG, 5-11 3Pt, 13-13 FT), one rebound, four assists and one block in 38 minutes during Monday's 132-127 loss to the Clippers.

Impact With Malcolm Brogdon (knee) out, Simons made the best of a bad situation and turned in his best scoring performance of the season despite coming up short. Although he faltered a bit in his first game back from injury, he's had a brilliant three-game run, averaging 32.0 points, 5.3 assists and 2.3 rebounds over that span.

Impact Simons got to work and put his thumb injury fully behind him, as the Trail Blazers desperately needed his production with Malcolm Brogdon (knee), Deandre Ayton (knee) and Jerami Grant (concussion) absent. Simons should restore his spot in the pecking order when the team returns to full health, and Brogdon's play my render Shaedon Sharpe the odd man out in the rotation.

Posts 28 points in return Simons produced 28 points (10-27 FG, 6-13 3Pt, 2-2 FT), one rebound and four assists across 37 minutes during Wednesday's 110-106 loss to Golden State.

Impact Simons drilled six three-pointers despite shooting 37 percent from the floor in his return to action. Simons' production will be needed more than ever if Malcolm Brogdon (knee) is forced to miss more time. Simons played 37 minutes, so fantasy managers can return him to lineups without worries of a minute restriction.

Returns to action Simons (thumb) is available and in the starting five for Wednesday's game versus the Warriors, Casey Holdahl of the Trail Blazers' official site reports.

Impact Simons has been upgraded from questionable to available Wednesday after missing the previous 18 games with a right thumb injury. The 24-year-old guard will start alongside Malcolm Brogdon in the backcourt against Golden State. However, it wouldn't be surprising for Sharpe to be put on a minutes restriction.

Questionable for Wednesday Simons (thumb) is officially questionable for Wednesday's game against the Warriors.

Impact Simons has been sidelined for over a month, but he returned to practice Monday and is considered day-to-day. Portland has ruled out Jerami Grant (concussion) for Wednesday and Deandre Ayton (knee) is doubtful, so Simons could step into a massive role on the offensive end right away.

Considered day-to-day Simons (thumb) practiced Monday and is considered day-to-day, Sean Highkin of RoseGardenReport.com reports.

Impact Simons recorded 18 points (6-14 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 4-4 FT), four assists, two rebounds and two steals in 27 minutes during Portland's regular-season opener. He was then labeled as probable for the team's ensuing game due to a right thumb sprain. However, the injury wound up being more serious than initially anticipated, and he ultimately underwent surgery Oct. 31 to repair a torn ulnar collateral ligament in his right thumb. He was expected to miss 4-to-6 weeks, but it appears he could return closer to the front end of that timeline. Simons' official status for Wednesday's matchup versus the Warriors remains to be determined, but his return to game action appears imminent, barring setbacks.
