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

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.

Brooklyn Nets guard Ben Simmons (back) is available ahead of Tuesday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. Simmons has been cleared to play after being plagued by some lingering issues this season. The 28-year-old has looked fairly decent over his last two games. Fellow guard D'Angelo Russell (shin) is also active, so we'll see how the Nets use the two playmaking guards. Simmons isn't an ideal fantasy option, but his defense and passing do offer some help in category formats. He figures to play his normal workload during Tuesday's game.

Brooklyn Nets guard Ben Simmons (back, knee) is questionable for Tuesday's game in Portland. The Nets will play back-to-back games on Tuesday and Wednesday, so Simmons will miss at least one of them. While the former 76er hasn't been a consistent fantasy contributor during the 2024-25 campaign, he's had his moments of production, recently amassing 14 points, nine assists, six rebounds, and two blocks in Sunday's one-point loss to Utah. With D'Angelo Russell (shin) also in danger of missing this one, the team may rely on Keon Johnson and Reece Beekman to handle the ball, which will improve both players' fantasy outlook.
