Trail Blazers' Anfernee Simons: Stuffs stat sheet Saturday
Anfernee 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.

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.

Trail Blazers' Anfernee Simons: Shooting woes continue
Anfernee 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.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 typically been high enough to keep him around the 15-point or 20-point mark 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.

Trail Blazers' Anfernee Simons: Struggles from field Tuesday
Anfernee 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.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.

Trail Blazers' Anfernee Simons: Scores team-high 27 points

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.

Trail Blazers' Anfernee Simons: Pops for 21 against Kings
Anfernee 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.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.
