Simmons will return to the Clippers’ rotation after sitting out Wednesday’s win over the Rockets. His best path to fantasy relevance would be for starting center Ivica Zubac (ankle) not to play. The Clippers listed Zubac as questionable in the initial injury report.

Simmons will not be available for Wednesday’s game for injury management reasons. He logged 15 minutes off the bench in Tuesday’s win over the Spurs. Coffey will miss a sixth straight game with an inflamed left knee. The absences likely mean a few more minutes for Nicolas Batum, and Kawhi Leonard can also absorb the available playing time.

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.

The Clippers have a mini-series against Dallas on Friday and Saturday, and Simmons will sit out the first leg. 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.
