• Trail Blazers' Anfernee Simons: Scores 25 points Monday

  2D ago • By RotoWire

  Simons ended Monday's 125-103 loss to the 76ers with 25 points (9-18 FG, 4-10 3Pt, 3-4 FT), four rebounds and four assists in 30 minutes. The Blazers looked completely overmatched in this loss Monday, but Simons delivered a solid fantasy output despite the team's struggles. This was the fifth time he reached the 20-point mark over his last eight games, and while Portland has gone 3-5 over that stretch, Simons has managed to average 20.1 points, 6.0 assists, 2.9 rebounds and 1.4 steals per game. Simons has been one of the few silver linings for the Blazers from a fantasy perspective this season.

  6D ago • By RotoWire

  Simons totaled eight points (3-12 FG, 2-8 3Pt), three rebounds, three assists and two steals in 30 minutes during Thursday's 122-120 victory over the Jazz. For the seventh time this season, Simons failed to hit double digits in the scoring column. Although Simons has scored 20 or more points 12 times this season and 25 or more seven times, the talented 25-year-old guard has been anything but consistent with his scoring, with no telling what he'll produce from night to night.

• Trail Blazers' Anfernee Simons: Stuffs stat sheet Saturday

  11D ago • By RotoWire

  Simons closed with 18 points (7-22 FG, 3-11 3Pt, 1-1 FT), four rebounds, six assists and five steals in 33 minutes during Saturday's 114-94 loss to the Spurs. Simons didn't have his best shooting performance, but he still salvaged his fantasy line by recording a season-high mark in steals. Simons also snapped a streak of three games with at least 20 points, but he's reached the 18-point mark five times in eight December contests, so he's been finding ways to produce. Simons is averaging nearly 18 points per game this season, and he's been one of the Blazers' most consistent scoring weapons despite the team's overall struggles.

• Trail Blazers' Anfernee Simons: Sinks buzzer-beater for the win

  13D ago • By RotoWire

  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. 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.

• Trail Blazers' Anfernee Simons: Goes for 20 points Sunday

  17D ago • By RotoWire

  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. 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 has been trending in the right direction in recent weeks, averaging 20.4 points per game across his last eight appearances.
