James Harden James Harden has 22/5/8 line in win over Wizards
Wed, Jan 14, 2026, 7:17 PM
James Harden totaled 22 points (5-of-17 FGs, 10-of-10 FTs), five rebounds, eight assists and two three-pointers in the win over the Wizards on Wednesday.
Analysis: Harden struggled with his shooting efficiency against the Wizards, but utilized the free-throw line to finish as one of two Clippers with at least 20 points. The former league MVP also led the team in assists on the evening and protected the basketball fairly well in the process. Harden has quietly shot inefficiently in the majority of his appearances during January. If he can find his rhythm again as a scorer, he'd likely see an uptick in his overall offensive numbers, which would equate to better fantasy basketball production. |

Kawhi Leonard totaled 33 points (9-of-22 FGs, 8-of-8 FTs), three rebounds, four assists, four steals and seven three-pointers in the win over the Wizards on Wednesday.
Analysis: Leonard wasn't his usual efficient self on Wednesday, but still played well enough to extend his streak of 20-point games to 22 games and record a second consecutive 30-point outing in the process. His scoring was mostly a result of efficient three-point shooting ??" he's now tallied at least four triples in four consecutive games. The free-throw line was also a factor on this night, and as usual, the former two-time Defensive Player of the Year used his active hands to collect several steals. The Clippers have now won four straight games, and Leonard is playing at an All-Star level. |

Brook Lopez will start Wednesday's game against the Wizards.
Analysis: While a final decision has not been made regarding Kawhi Leonard, who's a game-time call, it is known who will replace the injured Ivica Zubac in the starting lineup. As was the case when Zubac missed time earlier this season, Lopez will fill the void. Big Zu's absence also means that Yanic Konan Niederhäuser will play rotation minutes off the bench. |

Jordan Miller Jordan Miller contributes 14 points vs. Charlotte
Mon, Jan 12, 2026, 7:03 PM
Jordan Miller tallied 14 points (6-of-11 FGs), one rebound, two assists and two three-pointers in Monday's win over the Hornets.
Analysis: In recent games, Clippers head coach Tyronn Lue has been more willing to give Miller and Kobe Sanders rotation minutes. On Monday, it was the former who stepped up, reaching double figures for the second time in three games. As for Sanders, he contributed eight points, three rebounds, one assist and two three-pointers against the Hornets. While neither Miller nor Sanders should be rostered in redraft leagues, injuries to Bogdan Bogdanovi? and Derrick Jones Jr. have freed up minutes for them. |

Justin Russo
James Harden recorded 32 points (11-of-28 FGs, 7-of-8 FTs), four rebounds, 10 assists, four steals and three three-pointers in Monday's win over the Hornets.
Analysis: Harden made some personal history during Monday's game, and it can be argued that the way in which he did it was fitting. The Clippers' guard made use of a ball screen, dribbling to his left and knocking down a three-pointer with 9:12 remaining in the third quarter to move into ninth on the NBA's all-time points list. Harden, who passed Shaquille O'Neal, finished the victory with 32 points, the most in a game for him since scoring 34 in a December 26 win over the Trail Blazers. |

Analysis: Leonard put on a show during the third quarter, scoring 19 of his game-high 35 points.

According to Basketball Monster, he's ranked second in eight- and nine-cat per-game value over the past month. Unfortunately for fantasy managers, the Clippers play only two more games in Week 13, but one is against the Wizards. |
