Nets guard Ben Simmons on improving: 'I'm coming, I'm getting there'

Ben Simmons had a double-double in Brooklyn Nets' 109-107 win over the Portland Trail Blazers on Thursday night. Nets have the sixth-best odds to win the championship in 2023. NBA sportsbooks are giving the Boston Celtics and Milwaukee Bucks better odds.

Simmons recorded his first double-double with the Nets. He shot 75% from the foul line in the final minutes to protect the 103-99 lead. The last time he recorded a double double/triple-digit in a regular season game was in March 2021 against the Milwaukee Bucks. The 26-year-old still needs to improve to live up to his contract.
