Ben Simmons DVOA, Advanced Stats, & Fantasy Rankings

Los Angeles Clippers guard/forward 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.

Los Angeles Clippers guard/center 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.

Los Angeles Clippers guard Ben Simmons (knee) is ready to go ahead of Wednesday's game against the Chicago Bulls. Simmons appears ready to play again following a one-game absence due to a knee injury. He has been decent during his three appearances with the Clippers. Simmons isn't going to light up the box score, but he should be able to provide low-end fantasy value. He shouldn't be limited at all after only a one game absence, so fantasy managers can get him back into their lineups on Wednesday.
