Ben Simmons' strong defense helps 76ers knock off Knicks on Monday
Philadelphia 76ers forward Ben Simmons stuffed the stat sheet Monday with 11 points on 6-for-8 shooting, to go with 6 rebounds, 6 assists, 4 steals and 3 blocks in a 108-92 win against the New York Knicks.
What It Means:
Simmons didn't have to score that much with six total Sixers dropping in double figures. Even though his scoring has taken a dip in the month of February, Simmons' defense has taken a step up, averaging 1.2 blocks and 2.5 steals in his last five games.
Our early models for Wednesday project Simmons for 39.8 FanDuel points at a cost of $9,000.
