Blazers' Anfernee Simons starting in place of injured Damian Lillard (back)
Portland Trail Blazers guard Anfernee Simons is in the starting lineup on Tuesday night in the team's game against the New Orleans Pelicans.
What It Means:
Simons is taking over for Damian Lillard, who is missing out due to back spasms. It's unclear how long Lillard will be sidelined, but in the meantime, it seems that Simons will attempt to run the first-team offense in his stead.
Our models project Simons for 27.8 FanDuel points across 33.1 minutes of action.
