Matisee Thybulle starting for 76ers Wednesday in place of Ben Simmons (illness)
Philadelphia 76ers small forward Matisse Thybulle will start in place of Ben Simmons (illness) on Wednesday versus the Houston Rockets.
What It Means:
Thybulle will make his first start of the season after Simmons was a late addition to the injury report with an apparent stomach illness. Tyrese Maxey was expected to start but he should still see a boost off the bench. Tobias Harris and Seth Curry figure to take on more ball-handling responsibilities with the starters.
Maxey is numberFire's top overall value on Wednesday's 10-game slate. He has a minimum salary of $3,500 and our models project him for 24.9 FanDuel points.
