Fri, Jan 16, 2026, 4:51 PM
Jordan Miller had 19 points (8-of-11 FGs), two rebounds, six assists, four steals and three three-pointers against the Raptors on Friday.
Analysis: With the Clippers missing starters in each of the last two games, Miller has shown he can produce. He had 11 points, 10 rebounds and five assists in 34 minutes in the win over the Hornets on Wednesday. Miller followed that up with 20 points in 46 minutes in the overtime win over the Raptors on Friday. He might not be fantasy-relevant just yet, but Miller has certainly impressed over the last two games. |

Patrick Baldwin Clippers sign Patrick Baldwin Jr. to 10-day deal
Fri, Jan 16, 2026, 7:29 AM
Law Murray
Clippers signed Patrick Baldwin Jr. to a 10-day contract.
Analysis: Baldwin, the 28th overall pick in the 2022 draft, was on a two-way deal with the Clippers to end last season before being waived in July. He most recently played for the franchise's G League affiliate. His return to the NBA gives the Clippers more flexibility with Kobe Sanders and Jordan Miller, both on two-way contracts. However, this transaction does not affect fantasy basketball. |

Kawhi Leonard Kawhi Leonard (ankle) downgraded to out Friday
Fri, Jan 16, 2026, 7:13 AM
Law Murray
Kawhi Leonard (ankle) is out for Friday's game against the Raptors.
Analysis: Initially questionable for Friday's game, Leonard will not be available. While he scored 33 points in Wednesday's win over the Wizards, the Clippers' forward was on a restriction of 28-30 minutes, a sign that his ankle has been problematic. Kobe Sanders, who started for John Collins the last time out, should remain in the starting lineup, even if Collins returns. |

Ivica Zubac Ivica Zubac (ankle) questionable Friday vs. TOR
Thu, Jan 15, 2026, 11:58 AM
NBA Injury Report
Ivica Zubac (ankle) is questionable for Friday's game against the Raptors.
Analysis: Zubac was held out of Wednesday's win over the Wizards, with Brook Lopez logging 21 minutes as his replacement in the starting lineup. While his production was modest, Lopez is still worth streaming when allowed to start. |
|

Thu, Jan 15, 2026, 11:54 AM
NBA Injury Report
Kawhi Leonard (ankle) is questionable for Friday's game against the Raptors.

John Collins John Collins (groin) questionable Friday vs. TOR
Thu, Jan 15, 2026, 11:51 AM
NBA Injury Report
John Collins (groin) is questionable for Friday's game against the Raptors.
Analysis: Collins was a late scratch for Wednesday's win over the Wizards, with the Clippers ruling him out 30 minutes before tipoff. Rookie Kobe Sanders moved into the starting lineup and played 26 minutes, finishing with 11 points, one rebound and one three-pointer. While capable of the occasional standout performance, Sanders is not a must-stream player if Collins misses a second consecutive game. |

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 Kawhi Leonard scores 33, leads LAC past Washington
Wed, Jan 14, 2026, 7:14 PM
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. |

Wed, Jan 14, 2026, 4:04 PM
NBA Injury Report
John Collins (groin) is out for Wednesday's game against the Wizards.
Analysis: A late addition to the Clippers' injury report, Collins will not play on Wednesday. His absence leaves the Clippers down two frontcourt starters, as Ivica Zubac (ankle) was already out. Kobe Sanders will replace Collins in the starting lineup, raising the rookie's fantasy ceiling. |

Wed, Jan 14, 2026, 3:52 PM
NBA Injury Report
John Collins (groin) is now questionable for Wednesday's game against the Wizards.
Analysis: Absent from the Clippers' initial injury report, Collins' name has been added less than an hour before the scheduled tip time. With Derrick Jones Jr. (knee) already out, the Clippers may have to turn to Nicolas Batum to move into the starting lineup. Kobe Brown would also be in line for a few rotation minutes off the bench. |

Brook Lopez Brook Lopez to start Wednesday vs. Washington
Wed, Jan 14, 2026, 2:53 PM
Tomer Azarly
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. |

Wed, Jan 14, 2026, 9:59 AM
NBA Injury Report
Ivica Zubac (ankle) is out for Wednesday's matchup with the Wizards.
Analysis: Zubac's lingering ankle injury will cost him at least one game, and Brook Lopez should absorb most of his vacated minutes. BroLo is worth streaming, and John Collins should see a bump in playing time, too. |

Ivica Zubac (ankle) is questionable to play against the Wizards on Wednesday.

Kawhi Leonard (ankle) is questionable to play against the Wizards on Wednesday.
Analysis: Leonard has been managing an ankle injury, but it hasn't forced him to miss any time or slowed down his production. If something changes, Kobe Sanders and Jordan Miller would take on extra minutes in his place. |
