Anfernee Simons DVOA, Advanced Stats, & Fantasy Rankings

Portland Trail Blazers guard Anfernee Simons (elbow) is listed as questionable ahead of Tuesday's game against the Miami Heat. This isn't too shocking considering Simons sat out of Sunday's contest due to this elbow issue. Fantasy managers shouldn't be too worried as this seems like a day-to-day issue. If he's out again, Scoot Henderson should see an expanded role after playing 38 minutes on Sunday. Henderson has been playing over 30 minutes in each of the last four games. He's well worth a look as a streaming option right now.

Portland Trail Blazers guard Anfernee Simons (elbow) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Chicago Bulls. Simons seemed to be fine during Saturday's game, but he must've picked up an elbow injury during the contest. As a result, Simons will take a seat as the Blazers will take the cautious approach in the second leg of this back-to-back set. Scoot Henderson should be asked to step up and be the primary ball handler while Simons is out. Henderson is coming off a double-double during Saturday's game. He has been on a hot stretch lately, so he appears to be a strong fantasy option for Sunday's slate.

Portland Trail Blazers guard Anfernee Simons (hand) will rejoin the action on Friday against Houston. He has missed three games with a hand injury. Following a great start to the campaign, Simons has been inconsistent with his performances in November, shooting below 38 percent from the field. He might have a difficult time again on Friday, as the Rockets boast the second-best defensive rating in the league (104.8).

Portland Trail Blazers guard Anfernee Simons (illness) is regarded as questionable for Wednesday's meeting with Oklahoma City. An illness has already knocked him out for a couple of games, and he might miss another one. Scoot Henderson has rolled with the starters during Simons' absence. He's been inconsistent all year and doesn't look like a good fantasy option at present. Dalano Banton's minutes have also been on the up lately, and he's coming off a 23-point performance against Atlanta. Banton has averaged 13.3 points for the month, but his scoring form faces a big test on Wednesday, as the Thunder own the league's best defensive rating (102.4).

Portland Trail Blazers guard Anfernee Simons (illness) won't suit up for Sunday's game versus the Atlanta Hawks. He's under the weather, so he'll miss his second-consecutive contest. Without him and potentially Deandre Ayton (finger), there could be plenty of scoring opportunities up for grabs. Although Shaedon Sharpe, who had 33 points in Wednesday's win over the Timberwolves, should remain a starting fantasy option (and a popular DFS pick), Scoot Henderson and Dalano Banton could surpass their usual production expectations.
