Portland Trail Blazers guard Anfernee Simons (knee) will not play in Saturday's game against the Boston Celtics.
Simons will sit out his eighth straight game with left knee tendinitis. Look for Dalano Banton to play an expanded offensive role versus his former team.
Banton's current projection includes 18.6 points, 5.9 rebounds, and 4.6 assists.
