In his first game back after being sidelined due to virus tracing, Simmons wasted no time in dishing 9 assists in a win over the Spurs. The high assist total falls in line with what Simmons has done all season. Entering tonight’s NBA betting matchup, Simmons is averaging 7.7 assists per game. At 6-foot-11, he continues to revolutionize the point guard position. Height has not been an issue when it comes to setting up his teammates though. The 76ers’ only other meetings against the Knicks this season came in the second game of the season. Simmons had 6 assists in that contest.
