Anfernee Simons

Sharpe didn't have at least 30 points like he did in his last two games without Anfernee Simons, but he still had 21 points and made 4-of-8 attempts from behind the 3-point line. He turned the ball over six times in 38 minutes, which is certainly a drag on his fantasy output. Still, streamers can't really complain about the production they've received from Sharpe over the last few games. His value will certainly take a hit when Simons and Deandre Ayton eventually return for Portland.

Henderson was injured during the third quarter of Wednesday's game, exiting with a little over six minutes remaining and not returning. With Anfernee Simons (illness) also sidelined, Portland could be down two point guards for Friday's game in Houston. If so, Dalano Banton would be worth a look in deep leagues. Henderson finished with nine points, three rebounds, eight assists, and one 3-pointer in 27 minutes.

Simons will remain sidelined for another game, meaning Scoot Henderson stays in the starting lineup. Henderson and Shaedon Sharpe have benefited from Simons's and Deandre Ayton's absences.

Simons has missed the last two games for Portland and hasn't participated fully in recent practices. If he were to miss Wednesday's game, Scoot Henderson will continue to start in his place. Shaedon Sharpe has been the main beneficiary of Simons' absence, though, with Dalano Banton also getting more minutes and shots off the bench.

Simons (illness) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Thunder.
