Ben Simmons (illness) expected back for 76ers Monday
Philadelphia 76ers forward Ben Simmons (illness) is expected to return on Monday against the Oklahoma City Thunder.
What It Means:
Simmons was initially ruled out for a fifth straight game before being upgraded to questionable. It now looks like he will be back out there on Monday night. George Hill will likely shift back to the second unit and there should be reduced roles for Shake Milton and Tyrese Maxey. Joel Embiid (shoulder), Tobias Harris (knee), and Furkan Korkmaz (ankle) remain questionable.
numberFire’s models currently expect Embiid, Harris, and Korkmaz to play, and we project Simmons for 38.0 FanDuel points versus the Thunder. He has a salary of $7,400 on Monday's 11-game slate.
