Los Angeles Clippers forward 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.

Los Angeles Clippers guard Norman Powell (hamstring) has been ruled out for Friday's matchup with the Atlanta Hawks, which will be his seventh consecutive missed game since suffering a hamstring strain on March 2. Despite missing Powell, the Clippers have gone 4-2 over the last six games while Bogdan Bogdanovic and Amir Coffey both get bumps in playing time and opportunities. Bogdanovic is averaging 15.2 points, 5.5 rebounds, 3.0 assists, and 2.0 threes per game during that stretch while Coffey is posting 8.3 points, 1.3 rebounds, and 1.3 threes per contest.

Memphis Grizzlies forward/center Jaren Jackson Jr. (ankle) has a chance to return from a five-game absence after being listed as questionable for Friday's contest against the Cleveland Cavaliers. The former Defensive Player of the Year sprained his ankle on March 3 against the Atlanta Hawks and hasn't been able to take the court since then. If he's unable to suit up, Zach Edey and GG Jackson II should remain as the starting frontcourt. Brandon Clarke should also see some more opportunities off of the bench, but Edey provides the most stability with 9.2 points, 7.8 rebounds, and 1.2 blocks per game.

Atlanta Hawks guard Trae Young (Achilles) appeared on the injury report for Friday's matchup with the Los Angeles Clippers but he's considered probable while he continues to deal with Achilles tendinitis. The superstar point guard remains a must-start in every fantasy format despite his shooting efficiency taking a big dip this year. He's currently leading the league in assists at 11.5 per contest while he sits at 18th in points per game with 24.0. His playmaking abilities have been the main attraction in March as he's averaging an astounding 12.8 per night through five games so far.

Atlanta Hawks center Clint Capela (personal) will miss Friday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers for family reasons. This will be the second consecutive missed game for the veteran big man and his next chance to play will come Sunday against the Brooklyn Nets. Mouhamed Gueye and Dominick Barlow should continue to receive some added minutes in Capela's absence. If fantasy managers are looking for big man streamers, Gueye started in the Hawks' last game and posted six points, three rebounds, one assist, two steals, and two blocks. He could be helpful to boost some stats in deep category leagues.
