Philadelphia 76ers forward Ben Simmons is now questionable to play Wednesday versus the Houston Rockets due to an illness.
Joel Embiid (back) remains probable after missing last game and will be in store for a busy workload if Simmons misses his fourth game of the season. Shake Milton (ankle) is sidelined, so Tyrese Maxey should also see a boost if Simmons sits. Simmons put up a career-high 42 points last game with 9 rebounds, 12 assists, a steal, and a block.
numberFire’s models project Simmons for 43.1 FanDuel points versus the Rockets if active. He has a salary of $9,600 on Wednesday’s 10-game slate. The 76ers and Rockets both rank in the top-10 in offensive pace this season, providing a fantasy-friendly playing environment.
