Ben Simmons, PG/SF, Philadelphia 76ers

DraftKings Price: $8,900

The Philadelphia 76ers will once again be without Joel Embiid when they take on the Chicago Bulls tonight. While sophomore point guard Ben Simmons hasn't seen the bump in fantasy production that teammate Tobias Harris has without Embiid, he's seen an impressive boost nonetheless.

Simmons is averaging 48.4 DraftKings points without Embiid this year, 5.2 more than when they are on the court together. It has come largely due to a boost in scoring (up 3.0 points) and rebounds (up 1.6 boards) in an extra 3.7 minutes per game.

Simmons has routinely destroyed the Bulls in his career. His 54.75 against them back in October represented his lowest output against them across four contests. He scored 58.75, 66.75, and 61.75 in the other three matchups, respectively.

He's topped 50.0 DraftKings points in four of his past five games and will look to do so again tonight. We currently have him projected for 52.1 tonight. At his $8,900 salary, that's a value of nearly 5.9 DraftKings points per $1,000.
