On Monday night, the Brooklyn Nets are playing the Cleveland Cavaliers at Barclays Center in New York.

The Nets just recently traded Dennis Schroder to the Golden State Warriors, which means that Ben Simmons will likely have the ball in his hands (even more).

Simmons had eight points, two rebounds, five assists and one steal while shooting 3/4 from the field in his first 21 minutes of playing time.

In addition to the pass, he also had a big dunk.

Via The NBA: "Dunks & dimes… Ben Simmons making plays happen in Brooklyn!"

The three-time NBA All-Star entered the evening with averages of 5.1 points, 5.6 rebounds and 6.5 assists per contest while shooting 59.7% from the field in 19 games.

Many fans reacted to his highlights on Instagram.
