76ers' Ben Simmons expected to see increased minutes on Wednesday
Philadelphia 76ers guard/forward Ben Simmons is expected to play increased minutes in Wednesday's game against the Chicago Bulls, according to head coach Brett Brown.
What It Means:
The Sixers will be without guard T.J. McConnell (personal) in this one, and Jerryd Bayless (wrist) is also questionable after missing Monday's game. Simmons will likely also see an up-tick in usage with no other active point guards.
Not yet accounting for McConnell's absence, numberFire's models already project Simmons for 17.3 points, 7.4 assists and 7.2 boards in a solid 34.8 minutes of action on Wednesday.
