Jonathon Simmons moving back to Orlando's bench on Wednesday
Orlando Magic small forward Jonathon Simmons is moving back to the bench against the New York Knicks on Wednesday.
What It Means:
Simmons is actually averaging more minutes off the bench (25.5) than he played in his one start (21.2), so this shouldn't be a downgrade for his fantasy outlook. He's averaging 14.6 points, 3.5 rebounds, 2.0 assists, and 0.9 3-pointers this season. Elfrid Payton is back in the starting lineup for Orlando after an eight-game absence.
numberFire's models project Simmons to score 20.2 FanDuel points at a cost of $4,800 in 26.9 minutes tonight versus the Knicks.
