Ben Simmons's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

Brooklyn Nets guard/forward Ben Simmons (leg) has been downgraded to out for Thursday's contest against Atlanta. In an interesting development, Simmons went from not being on the injury report at all to questionable, and now to being listed out for a second consecutive game. Both Dennis Smith Jr. and Lonnie Walker IV had 20-plus minutes off the bench without Simmons on Tuesday against Orlando and look set to benefit again. Meanwhile, Dennis Schroder gets geared up for a third consecutive start, and he's by far the most reliable fantasy option of the three.

Brooklyn Nets guard/forward Ben Simmons (leg) has picked up a questionable tag ahead of Thursday's matchup against Atlanta. He wasn't on the team's initial injury report. Simmons could be out for a second consecutive game after sitting out the tail end of a back-to-back on Tuesday against Orlando. Dennis Schroder and Dennis Smith Jr. should get more action on the Brooklyn backcourt without Simmons, especially with Cam Thomas (ankle) already shelved for the contest.

Brooklyn Nets guard/forward Ben Simmons (back) will be available for Thursday's contest against Atlanta. He was rested on Tuesday when the Nets completed a back-to-back in Orlando. Simmons could get back into the starting lineup for Thursday's tilt with Cam Thomas (ankle) on the shelf. The versatile Australian has averaged 6.5 points, 8.0 rebounds, and 5.6 assists in 26.1 minutes in a starting role this season. This will be a great matchup for Simmons and the Nets, as Atlanta is ranked last in defensive efficiency for the season.

Brooklyn Nets guard/forward Ben Simmons (back) will be rested for Tuesday's clash versus Orlando. He managed to shake off a sore left leg on Monday to play 14 minutes against Memphis, but the team will keep him out of action on Tuesday to manage his back injury. Cam Thomas (ankle) has also been ruled out, meaning a busy night at the office is on the horizon for Dennis Schroder, while Dennis Smith Jr., Lonnie Walker IV, and Cameron Johnson could also pick up some of the available minutes.

Brooklyn Nets forward Ben Simmons (leg) will play in his third consecutive game on Monday against the Memphis Grizzlies. The point forward was originally listed as questionable due to lower leg soreness for this game, but it seems like the pain isn't enough to force him to stay on the sidelines. In the last two games, Simmons played 15 and 21 minutes respectively while joining the starting five. He's likely to remain in the same role but might see fewer minutes if the team desperately needs offense. While he's been able to collect a good amount of stats outside of scoring, his play has been too inconsistent to trust in most fantasy leagues right now.
