BEN Simmons has been on a tear lately, but the Philadelphia 76ers have struggled, losing their last three games.
On Saturday (AEDT), the Australian point guard is going up against the Goran Dragic and the Miami Heat, in a game that features two of the Eastern Conference’s most talented teams.
Dragic was recently named to Team LeBron for the NBA All Star Game; a selection many thought could have gone to Simmons.
Simmons is currently averaging 16.7 points, 7.8 rebounds, and 7.3 assists per game, and is the favourite to win the NBA’s Rookie of the Year award.
