Anfernee Simons's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

Portland Trail Blazers guard Anfernee Simons (ankle) has been listed as probable for their Tuesday night game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Fortunately, Simons' ankle injury should only force him to miss one game after he was forced to exit their game on Thursday with an ankle sprain. The 24-year-old has only played 29 out of a possible 52 games so far, so it would have been a big hit if he had to miss extended time again. Ashton Hagans got the start in his place during their last game, so he'll likely head back to the bench and take a big hit to his fantasy value. Simons should regain his normal starting role and is a must-start in all fantasy formats.

Portland Trail Blazers guard Anfernee Simons (ankle) was forced to leave the game against the Detroit Pistons on Thursday night with a left ankle sprain. He officially checked out of the game with a little less than half of the third quarter left to go and was deemed questionable to return at the time. He never did return and finished the game with 29 points, five assists, two rebounds, and two turnovers while shooting 9-for-19 from the floor and 4-for-12 from deep. Simons posted the best plus/minus on the team, by far, after the Trail Blazers gave up a 23-point lead. With Simons injury history, combined with the Blazers not competing for much, fantasy managers will want to stay tuned for an update on his ankle because he may miss some more time depending on the severity.

Portland Trail Blazers guards Anfernee Simons (rib) and Scoot Henderson (quad) have both been listed as questionable for the Sunday night matchup against the Chicago Bulls. Simons has only missed one game so far since the turn of the new year, but he did play 40 minutes in back-to-back games and took a combined 47 shot attempts. This could become a rest day for the 24-year-old who has a bit of an injury history in his short career so far. Henderson, on the other hand, is dealing with a left quad contusion and only saw the court for six minutes in their Friday night game. If they're both unable to play, Matisse Thybulle, Jabari Walker, and Justin Minaya will likely see heavy minutes since there are eight players on the injury report.

Portland Trail Blazers guard Anfernee Simons dominated on Wednesday against the Rockets, posting 33 points, six rebounds, and five assists in the team's 137-131 overtime win on the road. This marked the sixth time this season Simons has scored at least 30 points in a game and his first since January 7th. The 24-year-old shot 13-of-20 from the field, including four-of-nine from three. Portland's next game is on Friday at San Antonio, a contest that should remain close and allow Simons to play significant minutes again. He is averaging 23 points in 33 minutes per game this season.

Portland Trail Blazers guard Anfernee Simons (illness) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers. Simons sat out of Friday's game due to an illness, and it appears he's not over it yet. Matisse Thybulle started in his place on Friday and that will likely be the case once again, assuming Simons sits out on Sunday. His absence would also boost the fantasy value of Malcolm Brogdon. Fantasy managers will have to check back on Sunday for another update.
