Portland Trail Blazers shooting guard Anfernee Simons (knee) will not play in Saturday's game against the Denver Nuggets.
Simons is not available for the later part of Portland's back-to-back after he was forced to leave early on Friday night with a left knee injury. Look for Dalano Banton see more minutes at the guard positions versus a Denver unit ranked tenth in defensive rating.
Banton's current projection includes 17.5 points, 5.4 rebounds, and 4.3 assists.
