Clippers' Ben Simmons: Plays well in limited minutes
Rotowire
Simmons produced eight points (4-5 FG) and seven rebounds in 15 minutes during Sunday's 103-101 loss to the Thunder.
James Harden suffered quad and ankle injuries late in Sunday's 103-101 loss to the Thunder, making his status worth monitoring ahead of Wednesday's game versus the Knicks. Simmons snapped a streak of three scoreless games in a row Sunday, and he would be a candidate to see more run if Harden is forced to miss time.

After a seven-game absence due to a left knee injury, Simmons returned to the court Friday but didn't provide much production in the box score. Since signing with the Clippers in February, Simmons has averaged 6.0 points, 4.8 assists, 4.7 rebounds, 1.5 steals and 0.5 blocks in 20.5 minutes across six games. His fantasy value will likely remain relatively limited unless his minutes consistently sit in the mid-20s.

Clippers' Ben Simmons: Fills box score in team debut
Rotowire
Simmons registered 12 points (4-5 FG, 4-4 FT), seven rebounds, six assists, one block and three steals in 27 minutes during Thursday's 120-116 overtime victory over the Jazz.
Simmons made an immediate impact off Los Angeles' bench in his team debut, and his 12 points matched his third-highest scoring output of the season. It's unknown if the 28-year-old former All-Star will be cleared to play in both legs of back-to-back sets down the stretch of the campaign, which could continue to hamper his fantasy stock. However, it initially appears that Simmons will play a significant role for the Clippers moving forward.

Ben Simmons: Finalizing contract buyout
Rotowire
Simmons is finalizing a contract buyout with the Nets on Friday, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
Charania relays that once Simmons becomes a free agent, the point guard will meet with the Cavaliers and Clippers, with NBA reporter Chris Haynes adding the Rockets to the mix as well. The 2016 No. 1 overall pick's career started great in Philadelphia, but he was never able to reach his potential as injuries and unaggressive play marred his career, especially after moving to Brooklyn over the last three seasons. If Simmons joins a contender, he'll likely be used as a defensive option off the bench, limiting his overall fantasy value.
