What It Means:

Simmons has been downgraded from questionable and will miss a fourth straight game. The Nets are also still without Cam Thomas (ankle), so Dennis Schroder and Dennis Smith should continue to see more playing time.

Schroder is averaging 28.7 minutes and 33.2 FanDuel points over the past three games, with 17.3 points, 3.7 rebounds, 5.7 assists, 1.0 steals, 0.7 blocks, and 3.7 three-pointers. Smith is averaging 20.7 minutes and 20.3 FanDuel points per game in that stretch.
