Trail Blazers' Anfernee Simons scores season-high 22
Portland Trail Blazers shooting guard Anfernee Simons scored a season-high 22 points (7-of-12 field goals, 2-of-2 free throws) with 7 rebounds, 1 assist, 6 3-pointers, and 1 turnover in 27.8 minutes of a 111-104 loss to the Memphis Grizzlies on Wednesday.
What It Means:
Simons had only scored 20-plus points one previous time in his career before Wednesday. He also set a season-high for made threes, finishing one short of his personal-best. Damian Lillard is scheduled to undergo an MRI Thursday after injuring his groin late in the fourth quarter. If Lillard misses time, Simons would see a boost.
Simons scored a season-best 30.9 FanDuel points on Wednesday. He's averaging 14.8 FanDuel points through 55 games this season.
