Simmons was traded from the Philadelphia 76ers to the Nets last month, but has yet to make his debut for his new team.  

The Nets come into the game as the eighth seed in the Eastern Conference with a 34-33 record in the 67 games that they have played in so far this season.  

They are 4-6 in their last ten games, but are currently in the middle of a two-game winning streak.
