Ben Simmons scores 28, stuffs stat sheet in 76ers' victory
Philadelphia 76ers forward Ben Simmons scored 28 points (11-of-12 field goals, 6-of-10 free throws) with 8 rebounds, 5 assists, 1 steal, 2 blocks, and 1 turnover in 38.5 minutes of a 118-114 win over the Charlotte Hornets on Tuesday.
What It Means:
Despite Joel Embiid taking a breather, Simmons helped the 76ers pick up a fifth straight victory with the impressive performance. He finished a point short of his season-high after being held to 8 points in the previous game. Embiid will likely be active for the second half of this back-to-back set versus the Boston Celtics on Wednesday night.
Simmons scored 53.1 FanDuel points in the victory. numberFire's models expect him to put up 42.5 FanDuel points versus Boston, at a cost of $8,600.
