Jordan Miller Jordan Miller (hamstring) ruled out vs. Brooklyn
Thu, Mar 27, 2025, 11:21 AM
Tomer Azarly
Jordan Miller (hamstring) has been ruled out against the Nets on Friday.
Analysis: Miller has been sidelined for about two weeks with a hip injury, but he isn't part of the Clippers' rotation when healthy. His continued absence won't alter the fantasy landscape, and it's unclear when he'll be available to suit up again. |

Ivica Zubac Ivica Zubac records 18/10/2/1/2 line vs. New York
Wed, Mar 26, 2025, 4:03 PM
Ivica Zubac dropped 18 points (7-of-15 FGs, 4-of-6 FTs), 10 rebounds, two assists, one steal and two blocks in 31 minutes in Wednesday's win over the Knicks.
Analysis: Another game, another double-double for Big Zu, who has recorded one in five consecutive outings. Over the past two weeks, the Clippers center has offered top-50 value in eight-cat formats. Zubac has been one of the most pleasant surprises in fantasy basketball, taking advantage of a role that expanded when Paul George left for Philadelphia. He'll look to end Week 21 on a high when the Clippers visit Brooklyn on Friday and Cleveland two nights later. |

Norman Powell Norman Powell tallies 19 points, full stat line
Wed, Mar 26, 2025, 4:02 PM
Norman Powell accumulated 19 points (7-of-12 FGs, 1-of-2 FTs), one rebound, two assists, two steals, one block and four three-pointers in 31 minutes in Wednesday's win over the Knicks.
Analysis: Powell did not offer much value outside of points, steals and three-pointers in Wednesday's victory, but he recorded a complete stat line and shot over 50 percent from the field. Since returning to the Clippers' lineup on March 16, he is ranked outside the top 200 in eight- and nine-cat formats. Given how well Powell played before injuries put him on the shelf, it would be disappointing for fantasy managers if he ended the regular season with a whimper. Hopefully, his shooting against the Knicks was a sign of what's to come. |

James Harden James Harden hits six triples, scores 29 points
Wed, Mar 26, 2025, 4:02 PM
James Harden amassed 29 points (8-of-16 FGs, 7-of-8 FTs), six rebounds, six assists, two blocks and six three-pointers in 37 minutes in Wednesday's win over the Knicks.
Analysis: Harden took over Wednesday's game late in the third quarter, hitting a three-point on three consecutive Clippers possessions to give the team a lead it would not relinquish. Add in the overall stat line; this was an excellent night for those who have The Beard rostered. Over the past two weeks, Harden has offered top-five value in eight- and nine-cat formats. He's gotten the turnovers under control, committing three or fewer in four of his last five outings. Harden and the Clippers play two more games during Week 21, starting with the Nets on Friday. |

Kawhi Leonard Kawhi Leonard posts 27/10/7 stat line vs. New York
Wed, Mar 26, 2025, 4:01 PM
Kawhi Leonard logged 41 minutes in Wednesday's win over the Knicks, finishing with 27 points (10-of-18 FGs, 5-of-5 FTs), 10 rebounds, seven assists and two three-pointers.
Analysis: Leonard has scored 23 points or more in seven consecutive appearances and has been one of the most valuable players in fantasy basketball during this stretch. In his last seven, âThe Klawâ has averaged 26.4 points, 8.1 rebounds, 4.0 assists, 2.0 steals and 2.6 three-pointers while shooting 57.9 percent from the field and 80.8 percent from the foul line. That production has been good for top-five value in nine-cat formats and top-10 value in eight-cat. Games against the Nets and Cavaliers to end Week 21 are two more opportunities for fantasy managers to benefit from having Leonard rostered. |

Wed, Mar 26, 2025, 12:15 PM
Law Murray
James Harden (foot) is available for Wednesday's game against the Knicks.
Analysis: Initially questionable for Wednesday's game, Harden is available and will occupy his usual place in the starting lineup. Fantasy managers can slot him into their lineups as they usually would. |

Tomer Azarly
Jordan Miller (hamstring) is out for Wednesday's game against the Knicks.
Analysis: Miller's continued absence does not impact fantasy basketball, as he is not in the Clippers' rotation when he is healthy. |

James Harden James Harden (foot) questionable Wednesday vs. NYK
Tue, Mar 25, 2025, 10:59 AM
Steve Popper
James Harden (foot) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Knicks.
Analysis: Harden is dealing with a sore right foot, which he injured during Sunday's loss to the Thunder. If he's unable to play against the Knicks, the Clippers will have to fill a massive void in their starting lineup. Kris Dunn, already a starter, would have a higher ceiling, while Derrick Jones Jr., Bogdan Bogdanovic and Amir Coffey are potential replacements in the starting lineup. Of those three, Bogdanovic would offer the highest offensive ceiling as a starter. |

Ivica Zubac Ivica Zubac records 15 points, 11 rebounds vs. OKC
Sun, Mar 23, 2025, 6:19 PM
Ivica Zubac accumulated 15 points (4-of-9 FGs, 7-of-8 FTs), 11 rebounds, three assists and two blocks in 33 minutes in Sunday's loss to the Thunder.
Analysis: Zubac has only failed to record a double-double twice since the All-Star break, as he continues to provide reliable (and excellent) value to fantasy managers. Over the past two weeks, the Clippers center has been a third-round player in eight-cat formats. Zubac will look to add another double-double to his tally on Thursday when the Clippers open a three-game week against the Knicks. |

Kawhi Leonard Kawhi Leonard leads Clippers with 25 points
Sun, Mar 23, 2025, 6:17 PM
Kawhi Leonard tallied 25 points (10-of-20 FGs, 3-of-4 FTs), 10 rebounds, three assists, one steal, one block and two three-pointers in 40 minutes in Sunday's loss to the Thunder.
Analysis: Leonard played 40 minutes for the second time this season and has been an excellent fantasy asset recently. Over the past two weeks, the Clippers star has provided top-10 value in eight-cat formats. For most players, a three-game week would be bad news for fantasy managers. However, the Clippers' Week 21 slate should ensure Leonard managers of three games. The Clippers head east, beginning with the Knicks on Wednesday. |

James Harden James Harden (foot) limited to 17 points vs. OKC
Sun, Mar 23, 2025, 6:14 PM
Justin Russo
James Harden (foot) accounted for 17 points (4-of-14 FGs, 7-of-8 FTs), five rebounds, eight assists, one block and two three-pointers in 35 minutes in Sunday's loss to the Thunder.
Analysis: Harden played 35 minutes on Sunday, which Clippers coach Tyronn Lue regretted during his postgame press conference. During the third quarter, the Beard took a Luguentz Dort knee to the left thigh and struggled to move with his usual fluidity for the remainder of the game. Following the game, Harden said the real issue is that he rolled his foot after the hit to his thigh. The good news for the Clippers is that their first game of Week 21 isn't until Wednesday night against the Knicks. If Harden has to miss time, Kris Dunn (7/3/1/1 with one three-pointer in 19 minutes) will have a higher fantasy ceiling, while Derrick Jones Jr. (9/4/1/0/3 with two three-pointers in 26 minutes) could return to the starting lineup. |

Jordan Miller Jordan Miller (hamstring) out Sunday vs. OKC
Sat, Mar 22, 2025, 2:04 PM
Justin Russo
Jordan Miller (hamstring) is out for Sunday's game against the Thunder.
Analysis: Sunday's game will be the fifth Miller has missed with left hamstring tendinopathy. He has not been in the Clippers' rotation when healthy, so his continued absence will not impact fantasy basketball. |

Kawhi Leonard Kawhi Leonard puts up 23/10/4 line vs. Memphis
Fri, Mar 21, 2025, 7:17 PM
Kawhi Leonard recorded a double-double on Friday with 23 points (9-of-12 FGs), 10 rebounds, four assists and one three-pointer against the Grizzlies.
Analysis: The last five games for Leonard should scare the rest of the NBA. During that stretch, he has averaged 26.6 points, 7.4 rebounds, 3.6 assists, 2.6 steals and 2.8 three-pointers while shooting 60.2 percent from the floor. That has allowed him to provide top ten value in nine-cat leagues during that stretch. The Clippers have three more back-to-backs this season, though two of them are in April and one is during the final week of the regular season. There is no reason for him to play back-to-backs this close to the playoffs, but when he is on the floor, he will continue to shine. |

James Harden Harden pours in 30/4/9/2/2 line vs. Grizzlies
Fri, Mar 21, 2025, 7:14 PM
James Harden led the Clippers with 30 points (8-of-14 FGs, 9-of-10 FTs), four rebounds, nine assists, two steals, two blocks and five three-pointers in a 128-108 win over the Grizzlies on Friday.
Analysis: Harden seems to have turned back the clock over the past few weeks, and he is producing like the player that won an MVP Award. He has had a strong year overall, but he has cleaned up the inefficiency recently, which has taken his game to another level. He has averaged 4.4 turnovers per game this season but has only turned it over five times over his last three games. On top of that, he has shot at least 50 percent from the floor in three of his last four games. This may not stick, but it has been a big reason for the Clippers winning eight of their last nine games. |

Ivica Zubac Ivica Zubac records another double-double Friday
Fri, Mar 21, 2025, 7:03 PM
Ivica Zubac recorded a double-double on Friday with 17 points (8-of-14 FGs), 10 rebounds, one assist and two blocks against the Grizzlies.
Analysis: Zubac added another double-double to his season total in another big win for the red-hot Clippers. They have won five in a row and eight of their last nine, and Zubac's dominance has been a big reason for that. He has had the best season of his career, which includes career-highs for points, rebounds, assists and minutes per game. Tyronn Lue has finally handed the keys to the center position to Zubac instead of making him split minutes with another big, and it has resulted in success for both fantasy managers and the Clippers. |

Jordan Miller Jordan Miller (hamstring) still out vs. Memphis
Thu, Mar 20, 2025, 2:49 PM
NBA Injury Report
Jordan Miller (hamstring) has been ruled out against the Grizzlies on Friday.
Analysis: This will be a fourth-straight absence for Miller, though when he's healthy, his place in the rotation isn't always guaranteed. He has only made four appearances since the All-Star break and played a total of 41 minutes. |

Kris Dunn Kris Dunn plays 17 minutes in return Tuesday
Tue, Mar 18, 2025, 7:36 PM
Kris Dunn logged 17 minutes in Tuesday's win over the Cavaliers, scoring two points (2-of-2 FTs), one rebound and one blocked shot.
Analysis: Dunn was back in the Clippers' lineup after missing Sunday's win over the Hornets. Unfortunately for him, the former lottery pick could not celebrate his 31st birthday with a quality stat line. With the Clippers back to full strength, Dunn offers minimal fantasy value. Under those circumstances, he'll be more important to the team than to fantasy managers. |

Bogdan Bogdanovic Bogdan Bogdanovic doesn't miss, scores 20 points
Tue, Mar 18, 2025, 7:36 PM
Bogdan Bogdanovic produced 20 points (8-of-8 FGs), four rebounds, seven assists, one steal and four three-pointers in 29 minutes in Tuesday's win over the Cavaliers.
Analysis: Bogdanovic wasn't celebrating a birthday like teammates Ivica Zubac and Kris Dunn on Tuesday, but he had one of his best games as a Clipper. The veteran wing did not miss, shooting 8-of-8 from the field. Bogdanovic has reached double figures in 10 of the 17 games he's played since being traded to the Clippers, notching 20 or more on three occasions. While he remains rostered in 60 percent of Yahoo! leagues, Bogdanovic is ranked outside the top 150 in eight- and nine-cat formats since the All-Star break. |

James Harden James Harden tallies 22 points, nine assists
Tue, Mar 18, 2025, 7:35 PM
James Harden finished Tuesday's win over the Cavaliers with 22 points (5-of-18 FGs, 10-of-11 FTs), four rebounds, nine assists, one steal, one block and two three-pointers in 37 minutes.
Analysis: Harden struggled with his shot on Tuesday, going 5-of-18 from the field. However, a busy night at the foul line salvaged the point total, and he was also responsible for nine assists. The most impressive number may have been the zero turnovers, which is the second time he's accomplished that feat this season. Despite averaging 4.3 turnovers per game since the All-Star break, Harden has provided top-20 value in nine-cat formats. |

Ivica Zubac Ivica Zubac celebrates birthday with 28/20/1/0/1
Tue, Mar 18, 2025, 7:35 PM
Ivica Zubac recorded 28 points (13-of-18 FGs, 2-of-5 FTs), 20 rebounds, one assist and one blocked shot in 35 minutes in Tuesday's win over the Cavaliers.
Analysis: Zubac turned 28 on Tuesday and celebrated the occasion with one of the best games of his career. He recorded his third 20/20 game of the season, shooting 13-of-18 from the field. And since the All-Star break, Zubac has been a second-round player in nine-cat formats. Like Norman Powell, Big Zu has flourished for the Clippers after the team lost Paul George in free agency last summer. And fantasy managers have reaped the rewards. |
