76ers' Ben Simmons starting on Tuesday, Dakota Mathias coming off the bench
Philadelphia 76ers forward Ben Simmons (knee) is in the starting five for Tuesday's game against the Miami Heat.
What It Means:
As expected, Simmons returns to the starting lineup after a two-game absence with a knee injury. His return moves Dakota Mathias to the bench. Our models expect Simmons to play 34.7 minutes on Tuesday in a game in which both teams are shorthanded due to health and safety protocols.
Simmons' Tuesday projection includes 15.6 points, 7.7 rebounds, and 7.1 assists.
