Philadelphia 76ers guard Ben Simmons has been exclusively playing power forward at recent practices, per head coach Brett Brown.
Brown has been playing Simmons at the four and starting Shake Milton at point guard, seemingly relegating Al Horford to a role off the bench. "Watching him & Joel play off each other has been a really good look," Brown said of Simmons in the frontcourt. "I think they have been fantastic together." Simmons could lose some assists as a result but him and Embiid should still be the focal points of Philadelphia's offense. He was sidelined with a back issue when the season was suspended, but Simmons recently said that he feels "better than I was when I started the season."
numberFire's models expect Simmons to score 41.7 FanDuel points when the 76ers return to play on August 1 against the Indiana Pacers.
