LA Clippers DVOA, Stats, & NBA Rankings

Brooklyn Nets utility man Ben Simmons (back) is questionable for Sunday's contest versus Detroit. It's the first of back-to-back outings for Brooklyn, so if Simmons plays against the Pistons, he likely won't be out there on Monday against the Grizzlies. The 28-year-old started in all five of his appearances this season. But he hasn't been productive, averaging 6.2 points, 6.2 assists, and 6.0 rebounds. With Nicolas Claxton returning to form after battling a hamstring injury to begin the year, Simmons will likely return to the bench. However, no matter his role, he hasn't been a reliable starting option for fantasy managers.

Atlanta Hawks guard/forward Bogdan Bogdanovic (hamstring) underwent a non-surgical procedure on Monday. He will be re-evaluated in four weeks. The 32-year-old appeared in the opening night win over the Brooklyn Nets, finishing with eight points and two blocks. However, he's been sidelined since due to right hamstring tendinopathy. Bogdanovic is one of the most important players on Atlanta's roster due to his versatility. He's also the team's most reliable bench option. Unfortunately, fantasy managers shouldn't expect Bogdanovic back on the court for a while. With Vit Krejci (adductor) also sidelined, Garrison Mathews will likely see more minutes. While Mathews is worth monitoring, he's not someone who should be added to fantasy rosters until he shows consistent production.

According to Brian Lewis of the New York Post, Brooklyn Nets utility manBen Simmons(back) is unavailable for Tuesday's matchup with the Denver Nuggets due to lower back management. Tuesday is the first half of back-to-back games for the Nets, and Nic Claxton will likely start in place of Simmons. However, Claxton's minutes have been restricted so far this season due to a hamstring injury in training camp. Keon Johnson, Zaire Williams, Shake Milton, andJalen Wilson will likely see more minutes on the court with Simmons out.

Atlanta Hawks guard Bogdan Bogdanovic (hamstring) will be sidelined for the third consecutive game with hamstring tendinopathy in his right leg. There hasn't been any word about his return, it seems to be a day-by-day issue where Bogdanovic sees how his hamstring feels ahead of tip-off. Dyson Daniels, Garrison Mathews, and Vit Krejci will all see added opportunities. Daniels would be the most reliable fantasy option if he's on the waiver wire in any format.

Atlanta Hawks guard Bogdan Bogdanovic (hamstring) won't play on Sunday against OKC. The veteran sharpshooter logged 28 minutes in the opener versus Brooklyn, finishing with eight points and two blocks. Unfortunately, he's battling a hamstring issue, so he'll miss his second contest of the 2024-25 campaign. Onyeka Okongwu has been handling most of the minutes from off the bench for the Hawks. However, Garrison Mathews and Vit Krejci could receive more work, although not enough to earn a spot in fantasy lineups.
