Brooklyn Nets guard/center Ben Simmons (illness) has been listed as probable for Tuesday's game against the Knicks. He appears to be on track to return to the lineup after missing Sunday's action against Oklahoma City due to an illness. However, Tuesday's game marks the start of a back-to-back for Brooklyn, so it's likely Simmons will drop out of the lineup again this week. It's also possible he will end up missing Tuesday's game and play on Wednesday against Phoenix. Keon Johnson and Tyrese Martin receive more playing opportunities with Simmons out of the lineup.

Brooklyn Nets guard Ben Simmons (back) has been ruled out for Wednesday night's matchup against the Los Angeles Clippers. With this being the second leg of a back-to-back this is more of a rest spot for Simmons and the Nets as he had missed three games before returning for Brooklyn's prior three games. The 28-year-old hasn't had a huge fantasy impact in terms of points but has averaged 5.3 RPG and 7.1 APG, providing value to those in category leagues. In his absence expect D'Angelo Russell to facilitate Brooklyn's offense. Russell has averaged 8.3 APG in his four games as a Net this season.
