While Simmons’ career has not panned out the way many expected it to, his playmaking and defensive abilities mean there is interest in the free agent forward. In his report, Windhorst mentioned the Kings, Suns, Knicks and Celtics as teams linked with Simmons. The potential impact on fantasy basketball will depend on the location and Simmons’ health, which has been problematic for most of his NBA career. He played in 51 games last season between the Nets and Clippers, averaging 5.0 points, 4.7 rebounds, 5.6 assists and 0.7 steals in 22.0 minutes.

Simmons was held out of Friday’s win over the Mavericks for injury management reasons, while Miller has not appeared in a game since March 12. Simmons will be in the rotation, especially if Kawhi Leonard (questionable) does not play, while Miller is unlikely to have a role.

Kawhi Leonard will be available, so Tyronn Lue may be trying to stagger their availability as to not fully punt on either game. Nicolas Batum should take on extra minutes with Simmons sidelined.

This will be a fourth-straight absence for Simmons, which is disappointing, since his tenure with the Clippers seemed promising after his first game with them. Hopefully Simmons won’t be out much longer, but Amir Coffey will continue to fill out extra minutes until he returns.
