Orlando's Jonathon Simmons to remain in starting lineup 'indefinitely'
Orlando Magic head coach Frank Vogel said that the plan is for forward Jonathon Simmons to remain in the starting lineup "indefinitely."
Simmons was inserted into the starting lineup on Monday, sending Terrence Ross to the bench. Clearly, Vogel is hoping that Simmons two-way abilities help get the Magic a win. They've been without one since November 10th. In Simmons' first start, he scored 21 points but the team lost 121-109 to the Indiana Pacers.
Over a projected 30.2 minutes, our models like Simmons to return 24.2 FanDuel points at his $4,600 price tag. He and the Magic take on the Oklahoma City Thunder in Orlando on Wednesday.
