Anfernee Simons

SG, Portland Trail Blazers

Anfernee Simons came off the bench on Wednesday and broke out to score 22 points with seven rebounds and six triples in 28 minutes.

Simons shot 6-of-7 from deep which he won't be able to replicate, but he outplayed Garry Trent Jr. (four points in 16 minutes) and looks like he will resume his role as the first guard off the bench after returning from his concussion on Tuesday. He could be looking at increased value in the short-term with Damian Lillard (right groin soreness) scheduled to get an MRI on Thursday. Simons would be the biggest beneficiary if Lillard misses time and would have standard-league value with Lillard out of the lineup. Simons is worth an add in 16-team leagues as he should have value in his bench role with upside if the Blazers have injuries in the back court. Garry Trent Jr. is a drop in 14-team leagues with Simons cutting into his minutes.
