Anfernee Simons (forearm) won't play on Tuesday against Atlanta. He has been dealing with a forearm injury of late, although he was able to play in Sunday's loss to the Knicks, finishing with 15 points, four assists, and two steals. However, with Simons and
Scoot Henderson (concussion) ruled out,
Dalano Banton will get the start, giving him plenty of upside for fantasy managers.
Shaedon Sharpe,
Toumani Camara, and
Deni Avdija are also in line for more scoring opportunities, especially with
Jerami Grant (knee) also unable to suit up.

Anfernee Simons (forearm) is listed on the injury report on Thursday with a questionable tag, meaning he may have to sit out a meeting with the Atlanta Hawks. The talented scorer has been dealing with a right forearm injury for some time. He was also listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the New York Knicks but ended up playing 35 minutes as a starter in that game. However, it seems that the injury to his shooting hand affected him against the Knicks, as Simons made only five of his 20 field-goal attempts during a 15-point performance.
Scoot Henderson (concussion) also has health concerns, so the Trail Blazers backcourt may need to get more out of
Dalano Banton going forward.

Anfernee Simons (forearm) will play on Sunday versus the Knicks. He was on the Injury report due to forearm soreness, so fantasy managers had a feeling he'd be good to go for this one. While his absence likely would have resulted in a start for
Dalano Banton, the latter could remain involved with
Scoot Henderson (concussion) sidelined.

Anfernee Simons (forearm) is questionable for Sunday's matchup with the New York Knicks. The Trail Blazers likely aren't going anywhere near the postseason in any capacity, so it's hard to gauge just how severe his injury is. With that said, Simons' absence could surely open the door for added production from
Shaedon Sharpe and
Deni Avdija.
Scoot Henderson's (concussion) absence should also mean
Dalano Banton could see some meaningful work, even more so if
Jerami Grant (knee) remains out.
