Ben Simmons (illness) listed as questionable Tuesday for Sixers
Philadelphia 76ers guard/forward Ben Simmons (illness) did not participate in shootaround and is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Atlanta Hawks.
What It Means:
The Sixers are locked into home court advantage, and it looks like they may be more willing to play the Indiana Pacers in the first round. They could also be holding out Simmons as a precaution Tuesday with a game on Wednesday as well. If Simmons sits, Markelle Fultz, T.J. McConnell and Marco Belinelli will gain a ton of ball handling time, while Dario Saric, J.J. Redick, and Robert Covington will see increased usage against the Hawks.
If Simmons can play, our models project him for 38.6 FanDuel points at a cost of $10,500.
