NBA Daily Notes: The Rockets seem to be back to their best; Top fantasy picks for January 8th

PG 1 - Ben Simmons (Philadelphia 76ers):

The Philadelphia 76ers are enjoying a great run of form right now. They are 4th in the Eastern Conference with a 26-14 record. They have been in great form of late, winning 7 of their last 10, and have gone on a 3 game winning streak. Joel Embiid has had a great run to start the season but it has been the game of Ben Simmons which has enabled Embiid to become the force he has.

Philadelphia 76ers are playing some beautiful basketball of late

Simmons has been having a great year, averaging 16 points per game, along with more than 9 rebounds and just under 8 assists a game. He is also beginning to develop a jump shot, which will elevate his game to another level. In the win over the Dallas Mavericks, Simmons played an amazing game, scoring 20 points, dishing out 11 assists and grabbing a huge 14 rebounds, getting a triple double in the process.

His next game comes against the Washington Wizards and the 76ers will hope Simmons keeps this form going.

Alternate pick: Kyle Lowry (Toronto Raptors)
