• Celtics' Anfernee Simons: Invisible again Monday

  5D ago • By RotoWire

  Simons closed with nine points (3-9 FG, 0-5 3Pt, 3-3 FT) and one assist over 25 minutes during Monday's 112-105 loss to the Pistons. Simons continues to be a non-factor for the Celtics, scoring single digits for the third time in the past four games. While he was never really looked upon as a key piece for Boston, Simons' production has fallen short of even the biggest skeptics. In 26 appearances, he is averaging 13.0 points and 2.3 three-pointers in 23.7 minutes per game, leaving him well outside the top-200 players in standard formats. At this point, there is no reason to be holding him outside of deeper formats.

  Simons had 12 points (5-14 FG, 2-8 3Pt), three rebounds and two assists over 21 minutes during Sunday's 121-113 victory over the Raptors.

Simons led all bench players in scoring and has proved to be one of Boston's primary contributors, even as he plays with the second unit. On the season, Simons is averaging 13.7 points, 2.2 rebounds, 2.5 assists, 0.5 steals, 0.2 blocks and 2.5 threes on a 40.7 percent clip.

• Celtics' Anfernee Simons: Plays season-low 12 minutes

  24D ago • By RotoWire

  Simons ended Wednesday's 117-114 victory over the Pistons with five points (1-7 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), one rebound, four assists and one block across 12 minutes. It was a night to forget for Simons, matching his season-low 12 minutes, scoring single digits for the fourth time in the past six games. Things have not gone to plan for Simons this season, averaging 13.9 points and 2.6 three-pointers in 24.2 minutes per game through his first 18 appearances. His upside warrants a roster spot in most leagues, although for anyone not seeking points and threes, he is certainly an expendable asset.

• Celtics' Anfernee Simons: Nets 23 points with four assists

  29D ago • By RotoWire

  Simons notched 23 points (10-16 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 1-1 FT), three rebounds, four assists and two steals in 33 minutes during Friday's 113-105 loss to the Nets. Simons had been seriously struggling in his previous three games, but with Jaylen Brown getting into some early foul trouble in this one, Simons saw some extra minutes and shots falling his way. It is worth noting that the Nets are one of the worst defensive teams in the league, so it'll be interesting to see if Simons can keep it going Sunday with a tough matchup with the Magic.
