Ben Simmons (knee) has a chance to return from his seven-game absence to face the Atlanta Hawks on Friday. He's been out due to what the team is calling injury management on his left knee. Since being traded away from Brooklyn, Simmons has appeared in five games and averages 6.8 points, 5.2 rebounds, 5.0 assists, and 1.4 steals across 21.2 minutes per game. If he remains sidelined, however,
Amir Coffey and
Derrick Jones Jr. should still see the bulk of the bench minutes. Neither one is strongly recommended as streaming options except for very deep leagues.

Ben Simmons (knee) won't travel with the team for the upcoming three-game road trip. Simmons has missed the last five games and will sit out at least three more contests. When healthy, Simmons was actually a decent fantasy option for the Clippers, but it's unclear when he's going to play again. In the meantime,
Amir Coffey and
Derrick Jones Jr. should see increased roles in the rotation. Neither player is an ideal fantasy option, but they could offer some deep league value.

Ben Simmons (knee) has been ruled out ahead of Friday's game against the New York Knicks. Simmons will now miss his fourth game in a row due to a left knee injury. Simmons was actually a decent streaming option when he was healthy, but now it's unclear when he'll get back on the floor. His next chance to play will be against the Sacramento Kings on Sunday. Both
Amir Coffey and
Derrick Jones Jr. should see increased roles in the rotation until Simmons returns. Jones is the better streaming choice between the two forwards right now.

Ben Simmons (knee) will remain out for Tuesday's tilt against the Phoenix Suns. He is forced to miss a second straight game due to a sore left knee. After building up some good momentum, Simmons has once again encountered health issues, and he may miss several games in quick succession as the Clippers head into a stretch of three games in four nights. With Simmons sidelined on Sunday against the Los Angeles Lakers,
Nicolas Batum and
Drew Eubanks took on larger roles in the rotation. However, neither player significantly impacts fantasy basketball.
