Absolutely. Also. are the bearings on the end restrained from rotation? If so the midpsan deflection would realistically fall somewhere between a simple support and a fixed support. The deflection for a fixed end condition is 1/4 of the deflection of a simple beam for the same concentrated load at the midspan.Depending on the size of the beam, don't forget to include the distributed load due to beam weight.
