Bennedict Mathurin Bennedict Mathurin struggles, scores eight points
Fri, Mar 6, 2026, 6:27 PM
Bennedict Mathurin recorded eight points (3-of-11 FGs, 2-of-4 FTs), three rebounds, one assist and one blocked shot in Friday's loss to the Spurs.
Analysis: After putting up an efficient 23 points in Wednesday's rout of the Pacers, Mathurin struggled in San Antonio. The eight points were the fewest in a game for the guard since joining the Clippers, and he entered Friday averaging 19.2 points in nine appearances. The overall body of work means that fantasy managers should not be too concerned about Mathurin, especially with the Clippers visiting the Grizzlies on Saturday. |

Kawhi Leonard Kawhi Leonard scores game-high 30 points vs. SAS
Fri, Mar 6, 2026, 6:16 PM
Kawhi Leonard finished Friday's loss to the Spurs with 30 points (10-of-20 FGs, 9-of-10 FTs), nine rebounds, three assists, three steals and one three-pointer.
Analysis: Leonard has scored at least 30 points in three of the seven games that he's played since the All-Star break. Unfortunately for him and the Clippers, Friday's performance wasn't enough to keep the team from letting a 25-point lead slip away. That is of little concern to fantasy managers, who had to be pleased with Leonard's final stat line. The Clippers play one more game in Week 19, visiting the Grizzlies on Saturday. |

Brook Lopez Brook Lopez sinks four triples, scores 26 points
Fri, Mar 6, 2026, 6:10 PM
Brook Lopez accounted for 26 points (11-of-19 FGs), six rebounds, two assists, four steals and four three-pointers in Friday's loss to the Spurs.
Analysis: While it occurred in a losing effort, Lopez had one of his best games of the season on Friday. Shooting 7-of-11 from two and 4-of-8 from beyond the arc, the veteran center's 26 points were the most in a game for him since December 26. On that night, Lopez scored a season-high 31 points against the Trail Blazers. With backup center Yanic Konan-Niederhäuser (foot) having suffered a season-ending Lisfranc injury during Wednesday's win over the Pacers, the Clippers will need more from Lopez. On Friday, he played 34 minutes, the fourth time since the All-Star break that the 7-foot-1 center has played at least 30 in a game. |

Bogdan Bogdanovic Bogdan Bogdanovi? (illness) upgraded to available
Fri, Mar 6, 2026, 2:48 PM
NBA Injury Report
Bogdan Bogdanovi? (illness) is available for Friday's game against the Spurs.
Analysis: Bogdanovi? is good to go for Friday's game, but he's unlikely to get the minutes needed to affect fantasy basketball. Leave him on the waiver wire. |

Bogdan Bogdanovic Bogdan Bogdanovi? (illness) questionable Friday
Fri, Mar 6, 2026, 8:41 AM
NBA Injury Report
Bogdan Bogdanovi? (illness) is questionable for Friday's matchup with the Spurs.
Analysis: Bogdanovi? is a late addition to the injury report which doesn't bode well for his chances of taking the court against San Antonio. His absence isn't particularly notable for fantasy managers due to his lengthy absence and limited role in LA's rotation. |

Darius Garland Darius Garland (toe) ruled out vs. San Antonio
Thu, Mar 5, 2026, 12:04 PM
NBA Injury Report
Darius Garland (toe) is out for Friday's game against the Spurs.
Analysis: Friday's game is the first of two in as many nights for the Clippers, who visit the Grizzlies on Saturday. Garland won't be available for the matchup with the Spurs, which will likely result in more on-ball responsibility for Kris Dunn, who's already in the starting lineup. |

Darius Garland Darius Garland tallies 12 points, eight assists
Wed, Mar 4, 2026, 7:19 PM
Darius Garland finished Wednesday's win over the Pacers with 12 points (5-of-10 FGs), four rebounds, eight assists and two three-pointers.
Analysis: Garland's playing time did not change much in his second appearance as a Clipper, with the 24 minutes being one more than his tally in Monday's win over the Warriors. That said, he looked a bit more comfortable with his new teammates this time around, recording eight assists with two turnovers. Garland, who was responsible for five turnovers in his Clippers' debut, also shot 50 percent from the field on Wednesday. While the Clippers play two more games in Week 19, the back-to-back likely means Garland will only be available for one. |

Brook Lopez Brook Lopez chips in with 17 points vs. Indiana
Wed, Mar 4, 2026, 7:16 PM
Brook Lopez finished Wednesday's win over the Pacers wiht 17 points (7-of-12 FGs, 2-of-3 FTs), three rebounds, two assists and one three-pointer.
Analysis: Limited to six points in Monday's win over the Warriors, Lopez nearly tripled his output in Wednesday's blowout of the Pacers. The veteran center played 21 minutes, with the playing time taking a slight hit with the game being a blowout. At a minimum, the Clippers won't have backup center Yanic Konan-Niederhäuser (foot) for their next two games, so that may result in a slight increase in playing time for Lopez. However, given how his workload has been managed, that isn't guaranteed. |

Bennedict Mathurin Bennedict Mathurin records 23/8/4/1/1 stat line
Wed, Mar 4, 2026, 7:13 PM
Bennedict Mathuin accounted for 23 points (8-of-11 FGs, 6-of-7 FTs), eight rebounds, four assists, one steal, one block and one three-pointer in Wednesday's win over the Pacers.
Analysis: Playing against the Pacers for the first time since being traded to the Clippers, Mathurin had an excellent night off the bench. The fourth-year guard shot the ball well from the field and the charity stripe while recording a complete stat line. Mathurin did his damage in 22 minutes, with his playing time being affected by the Clippers winning by a 130-107 final score. Since the trade, he's averaged just over 29 minutes per game, so opportunities have not been hard to come by for Mathurin in his new home. |

Kawhi Leonard Kawhi Leonard leads Clippers with 29 points
Wed, Mar 4, 2026, 7:07 PM
Kawhi Leonard tallied 29 points (10-of-18 FGs, 6-of-6 FTs), eight rebounds, two assists, one steal and three three-pointers in Wednesday's win over the Pacers.
Analysis: Leonard only played 30 minutes on Wednesday, with the blowout ending his night after just three quarters. His consistent excellence has made him one of the best players in fantasy basketball this season, with the Clippers' star last failing to score at least 20 points in a game on November 20. The Clippers play two more games in Week 19, but it's a back-to-back. With the Spurs being on the slate for Friday and the Grizzlies the following night, it would be unsurprising if Leonard sits out the latter for injury management reasons. |

John Collins John Collins (neck) to miss upcoming road trip
Wed, Mar 4, 2026, 2:46 PM
Joey Linn
John Collins (neck) will not travel with the Clippers for their upcoming road trip.
Analysis: Collins, who was diagnosed with a strained neck following Sunday's win over the Pelicans, was already ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Clippers. He'll also miss the team's road back-to-back against the Spurs and Grizzlies on Friday and Saturday, meaning the soonest that he'll play is on Monday. Kobe Sanders replaced Collins in the starting lineup the last time out and could hold onto that role for a few games. |

John Collins John Collins (neck) to remain out vs. Indiana
Tue, Mar 3, 2026, 1:58 PM
Joey Linn
John Collins (neck) is out for Wednesday's game against the Pacers.
Analysis: Collins remains out with a strained neck and has now missed four of the Clippers' last five games. Kobe Sanders was the replacement in the starting lineup the last time out, with Nicolas Batum being another possibility. |

Darius Garland Darius Garland (toe) plays 23 minutes in LAC debut
Mon, Mar 2, 2026, 6:46 PM
Darius Garland (toe) accounted for 12 points (4-of-9 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), two rebounds, two assists, one steal and two three-pointers in Monday's win over the Warriors.
Analysis: Garland made his long-awaited Clippers debut on Monday, and he did so coming off the bench. That was done for injury management reasons, with the point guard playing 23 minutes. There's some work to be done establishing on-court chemistry with his teammates, as evidenced by Garland committing five turnovers. However, the most important takeaway for Monday was that he looked comfortable playing on the right great toe that sidelined him for six weeks. The Clippers' final three games of Week 19 include a back-to-back, so Garland may only be available for two. |

Kris Dunn Kris Dunn records 16/7/7/2 stat line vs. Warriors
Mon, Mar 2, 2026, 6:45 PM
Justin Russo
Kris Dunn tallied 16 points (7-of-10 FGs), seven rebounds, seven assists, two steals and two three-pointers in Monday's win over the Warriors.
Analysis: Dunn isn't required to be a prolific scorer for the Clippers, and he doesn't need to be to make an impact. He had a good night shooting the ball against the Warriors, however, making 70 percent of his attempts. Add in the rebounds, assists and steals, and this was a good night for those with Dunn rostered. At some point, Dunn will be sharing the starting backcourt with Darius Garland, and his defensive ability will be of greater importance. He remains a player who should only be rostered in deep fantasy leagues. |

Kawhi Leonard Kawhi Leonard scores game-high 23 points vs. GSW
Mon, Mar 2, 2026, 6:45 PM
Kawhi Leonard finished Monday's win over the Warriors with 23 points (9-of-14 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), eight rebounds, four assists, two steals and three three-pointers.
Analysis: After starting slowly, the Clippers grabbed control of Monday's game with a balanced offensive effort. Six players finished the game in double figures, with Leonard leading the way. Having entered the game averaging a career-best 27.9 points per game, he's scored at least 20 in every game he's played this season except for three. Leonard was highly efficient against the Warriors, and his final line only lacked a blocked shot. The Clippers play three more games in Week 19, starting with the Pacers on Wednesday. |

Darius Garland Darius Garland (toe) to make debut vs. Warriors
Mon, Mar 2, 2026, 10:10 AM
Justin Russo
Darius Garland (toe) is off the injury report for Monday's game against the Warriors.
Analysis: It was reported over the weekend that Garland planned to make his Clippers debut on Monday, and now it's official. Given the amount of time he's missed, fantasy managers should expect Garland's playing time to be limited for his first few games. Kris Dunn has been running the point, but he'll likely shift off the ball whenever Clippers head coach Tyronn Lue decides to start Garland. |

John Collins John Collins (neck) ruled out vs. Golden State
Mon, Mar 2, 2026, 10:06 AM
Justin Russo
John Collins (neck) is out for Monday's game against the Warriors.
Analysis: While Collins left Sunday's win over the Pelicans holding his arm after a collision with Derik Queen, the reason for his absence is listed as a sore neck. Nicolas Batum replaced Collins in the lineup when he missed two games with head and neck injuries, and that will likely be the case on Monday. However, there isn't much to gain from streaming Batum. |

John Collins John Collins (arm) scores 15 points, leaves Sunday
Sun, Mar 1, 2026, 5:44 PM
John Collins (arm) had 15 points (5-of-14 FGs, 4-of-4 FTs), seven rebounds, one assist, two steals and one three-pointer in Sunday's win over the Pelicans.
Analysis: Collins was having a good game with 15 points and seven rebounds before running into Pelicans big man Derik Queen in the second half. The 28-year-old power forward left the floor holding his arm and in immense pain. Clippers coach Ty Lue had no update on Collins' health status after the game. If Collins is out, Nicolas Batum would likely start again, though he isn't worth streaming. |

Kawhi Leonard Kawhi Leonard has 23 points in win over Pelicans
Sun, Mar 1, 2026, 5:31 PM
Kawhi Leonard had 23 points (8-of-18 FGs, 6-of-7 FTs), three rebounds, five assists, one steal and one three-pointer in the Clippers' 137-117 victory over the Pelicans on Sunday.
Analysis: Leonard returned after missing Thursday's loss to the Timberwolves with a sore left ankle. The 34-year-old small forward led the Clippers in scoring in the 20-point victory over the Pelicans on Sunday. Leonard has provided top-25 overall per game value over the last two weeks. The Clippers have four games in the upcoming week, starting with a matchup against the Warriors on Monday. |

John Collins John Collins (head, neck) upgraded to available
Sun, Mar 1, 2026, 1:22 PM
Lauren Rosen
John Collins (head, neck) is available for Sunday's game against the Pelicans.
Analysis: Collins is back after a two-game absence, giving the Clippers needed depth and production in the frontcourt. His return means that Nicolas Batum will come off the bench. Batum was not worth streaming when inserted into the starting lineup, so nothing changes regarding his fantasy value. |
