Ben Simmons Playing In Game 4 A "Realistic Target"
3 years agoBrooklyn Nets guard Ben Simmons (back) could be nearing a return, with Game 4 being a realistic target for the former 76er to make his debut. Brooklyn could certainly use him out there, primarily with the Celtics currently owning a two-game lead in the series. Nonetheless, if Simmons makes it back on Monday night, he likely won't see a lot of minutes, although he may get enough to impact Bruce Brown, Seth Curry, and Goran Dragic. Simmons' defensive prowess could also mean Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum, who are each averaging over 22 points per game this postseason, may have a more challenging time finding the basket.
