Philadelphia 76ers All-Star point-forward Ben Simmons loves what small forward Tobias Harris brings to the Sixers and says it's a good opportunity to play with a great player.

Philly acquired Harris from the Los Angeles Clippers at the trade deadline. The versatile swingman is one of the most underrated players in the league and gives the Sixers a lethal starting lineup of Simmons, J.J. Redick, Jimmy Butler, Harris and Joel Embiid.

In four games with Philadelphia, Harris is averaging 17.8 points, 7.0 rebounds and 3.5 assists while shooting 51.9 percent from the field and 38.1 percent from beyond the arc. The Sixers are 3-1 since acquiring Harris.

With Harris in the mix, Simmons knows Philly can advance to the NBA Finals this season. The reigning Rookie of the Year just finished his first All-Star weekend and is ready to get back to action with his teammates.

Simmons is averaging 16.8 points, 9.0 rebounds and 7.9 assists per game this season and shooting 57.1 percent from the floor. Harris has already seen the benefits of playing alongside Simmons and Embiid. Simmons is one of the best passers in the league, while Embiid gets double-teamed a lot in the post, which frees up Harris for wide-open looks from the perimeter.

Philly opens the second half of the season on Thursday against the Miami Heat.
