Bennedict Mathurin Bennedict Mathurin scores 16 points in loss to SAS
Mon, Mar 16, 2026, 7:29 PM
Bennedict Mathurin logged 16 points (5-of-12 FGs, 6-of-6 FTs), four rebounds, three assists and two steals in Monday's loss to the Spurs.
Analysis: Mathurin came off the bench on Monday and concluded as one of the Clippers' highest scorers on the evening. He was somewhat inefficient from the floor, got to the line often, and struggled from beyond the arc, things that have been consistent during his brief tenure as a Clipper. Still, he provides the team with real scoring upside and has continued to log heavy minutes for head coach Ty Lue. Given his workload, he's got nightly potential to put up relevant performances as far as fantasy basketball is concerned. |

Jordan Miller Jordan Miller scores 22 points off bench in loss
Mon, Mar 16, 2026, 7:23 PM
Jordan Miller logged 22 points (10-of-13 FGs, 1-of-1 FTs), nine rebounds, three assists and one three-pointer in the loss to the Spurs on Monday.
Analysis: Miller provided a huge spark off the bench for the Clippers on Monday, reaching the 20-point mark for the fifth time this season while also tying a team-high in rebounds. Miller went without a turnover in his 26 minutes of game action and added a few assists for good measure. He's enjoyed a breakout season and, although he isn't yet a reliable fantasy player, is a potential high-risk, high-reward streaming option. |

Darius Garland Darius Garland has 25/10 double-double Monday
Mon, Mar 16, 2026, 7:17 PM
Darius Garland added 25 points (9-of-21 FGs, 3-of-3 FTs), two rebounds, 10 assists, two steals and four three-pointers in Monday's loss to the Spurs.
Analysis: Garland was likely tasked with doing even more on offense against the Spurs with Kawhi Leonard sidelined (ankle), and he mostly delivered. The former NBA All-Star led the Clippers in scoring, albeit on unspectacular shooting efficiency, and earned his fifth double-double of the season thanks to some strong facilitating. The ball distribution was nearly cancelled out by a season-high eight turnovers. Nonetheless, Garland has steadily made strides as he becomes more comfortable with his new team. He should be able to finish the fantasy season strongly. |

Kawhi Leonard Kawhi Leonard (ankle) to join team on road trip
Mon, Mar 16, 2026, 6:53 PM
Justin Russo
Kawhi Leonard (ankle) will travel with the Clippers on their upcoming road trip and is day-to-day.
Analysis: Leonard, who injured his left ankle during Saturday's loss to the Kings, did not play in Monday's loss to the Spurs. He may not be out for too long, as the All-Star forward will travel with the team for a three-game road trip that begins Wednesday night in New Orleans. Leonard is considered day-to-day moving forward. John Collins started Monday's defeat, finishing with 11 points, nine rebounds, four assists and one steal in 26 minutes. |

John Collins John Collins to start for injured Leonard vs. SAS
Mon, Mar 16, 2026, 2:34 PM
Tomer Azarly
Darius Garland, Kris Dunn, Derrick Jones Jr., John Collins and Brook Lopez will start Monday's game against the Spurs.
Analysis: The Clippers won't have Kawhi Leonard (ankle) for Monday's game, leaving a massive void in the starting lineup. Collins, who was a starter before head and neck injuries sidelined him last month, returns to the starting lineup. He and Bennedict Mathurin will have higher ceilings in Leonard's absence, given the Clippers' need for more offense. |

Kawhi Leonard Kawhi Leonard (ankle) downgraded to out vs. SAS
Mon, Mar 16, 2026, 10:07 AM
NBA Injury Report
Kawhi Leonard (ankle) is out for Monday's game against the Spurs.
Analysis: Injured during Saturday's loss to the Kings, Leonard is officially out for Monday's matchup with the Spurs. Bennedict Mathurin and John Collins are the players with the most to gain regarding usage, with one likely moving into the starting lineup. |

Nicolas Batum Nicolas Batum (rest) removed from injury report
Sun, Mar 15, 2026, 2:17 PM
NBA Injury Report
Nicolas Batum (rest) is not on the injury report for Monday's game against the Spurs.
Analysis: Batum is good to go after sitting out Saturday's loss to the Kings, the Clippers' second game in as many nights. While there may be a few more minutes available due to Kawhi Leonard's ankle injury, there's nothing to gain from rostering Batum at this stage in his career. |

Kawhi Leonard Kawhi Leonard (ankle) doubtful vs. San Antonio
Sun, Mar 15, 2026, 2:13 PM
NBA Injury Report
Kawhi Leonard (ankle) is doubtful for Monday's game against the Spurs.
Analysis: Leonard sprained his left ankle during the fourth quarter of Saturday's loss to the Kings. With their top scorer not appearing likely to play on Monday, the Clippers will need more production from Bennedict Mathurin and John Collins, with one of those two moving into the starting lineup. |

John Collins John Collins (neck) plays 20 minutes in return
Sat, Mar 14, 2026, 7:17 PM
John Collins (neck) recorded 10 points (2-of-5 FGs, 5-of-6 FTs), three rebounds, two steals, one block and one three-pointer in Saturday's loss to the Kings.
Analysis: Having missed six of the Clippers' last seven games with a neck injury, Collins' playing time was limited on Saturday. For that reason, he was used in a reserve role, with Derrick Jones Jr. (2/3/1/1/1) starting and playing 32 minutes. The Clippers play four games in Week 21, including a back-to-back, and it's unknown if (or when) Collins will return to the starting five. If Kawhi Leonard (ankle) has to miss time, that could open the door for Collins to start as soon as Monday against the Spurs. |

Darius Garland Darius Garland (foot) posts 25 points, seven dimes
Sat, Mar 14, 2026, 7:17 PM
Darius Garland (foot) accumulated 25 points (9-of-20 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), three rebounds, seven assists, one steal and five three-pointers in Saturday's loss to the Kings.
Analysis: Garland played 30 minutes on Saturday, matching his high since joining the Clippers. However, he appeared to tweak something in his right foot during the second half, which is concerning given the Clippers' guard's injury history. Garland did play through the issue, and the Clippers will need similar performances from him moving forward, especially if Kawhi Leonard (ankle) has to miss time. |

Bennedict Mathurin Bennedict Mathurin scores 24 points vs. Sacramento
Sat, Mar 14, 2026, 7:16 PM
Bennedict Mathuin accounted for 24 points (7-of-15 FGs, 10-of-11 FTs), six rebounds, one assist and one steal in Saturday's loss to the Kings.
Analysis: Mathurin extended his streak of 20-point games to five on Saturday, and he may be thrust into a more prominent role to begin Week 21. Kawhi Leonard left Saturday's game early in the fourth quarter after spraining his left ankle, which could rob the Clippers of their best player. Mathurin may not be a lock to start if Leonard misses time, but his scoring ability will be needed. The Clippers play four games in Week 21, starting with the Spurs on Monday. |

Kawhi Leonard Kawhi Leonard (ankle) will not return Saturday
Sat, Mar 14, 2026, 6:48 PM
Tomer Azarly
Kawhi Leonard (ankle) will not return to Saturday's game against the Kings.
Analysis: Leonard, who suffered a cut over his left eye during the first half of Saturday's game, had to exit after injuring his left ankle early in the fourth quarter. His absence means that the Clippers will need more offensive production from Darius Garland and Bennedict Mathurin. Leonard finished with 31 points (13-of-23 FGs, 3-of-6 FTs), six rebounds, two steals and two three-pointers. |

Nicolas Batum Nicolas Batum (rest) ruled out vs. Sacramento
Sat, Mar 14, 2026, 10:10 AM
NBA Injury Report
Nicolas Batum (rest) is out for Saturday's game against the Kings.
Analysis: Saturday's game is the second in as many nights for the Clippers, who took care of the Bulls on Friday. Batum will get the night off, but his absence coincides with John Collins' return from a neck injury. Batum is not guaranteed to get rotation minutes once he's available. |

John Collins John Collins (neck) removed from injury report
Sat, Mar 14, 2026, 10:07 AM
NBA Injury Report
John Collins (neck) is not on the injury report for Saturday's game against the Kings.
Analysis: Saturday's game will be the first for Collins since March 1, having missed the last seven games due to a neck injury initially suffered during a February 20 loss to the Lakers. A starter before the injury, he could be asked to come off the bench on Saturday. |

Darius Garland Darius Garland (toe) removed from injury report
Sat, Mar 14, 2026, 10:04 AM
NBA Injury Report
Darius Garland (toe) is off the injury report for Saturday's game against the Kings.
Analysis: Garland did not play in Friday's win over the Bulls, resulting in rookie Kobe Sanders moving into the starting lineup. Sanders will return to the bench, where he offers limited fantasy value. |

Bennedict Mathurin Bennedict Mathurin scores 26 points vs. Chicago
Fri, Mar 13, 2026, 7:36 PM
Bennedict Mathurin recorded 26 points (10-of-19 FGs, 5-of-6 FTs), six rebounds, two assists, one steal and one three-pointer in Friday's win over the Bulls.
Analysis: Mathurin extended his streak of games with at least 20 points to four on Friday, and he did so while shooting over 50 percent from the field. And he did most of his damage after halftime, scoring 19 of his 26 points. Since the All-Star break, Mathurin has averaged 21.1 points per game on 44.8 percent shooting from the field. His category league ceiling is somewhat limited because of the lack of production in three-pointers and defensive stats, but Mathurin has been a solid option since joining the Clippers. |

Kawhi Leonard Kawhi Leonard leads Clippers with 28 points
Fri, Mar 13, 2026, 7:35 PM
Kawhi Leonard accumulated 28 points (8-of-22 FGs, 10-of-12 FTs), four rebounds, three assists, one steal and two three-pointers in Friday's win over the Bulls.
Analysis: One game removed from scoring 45 points on 20 shot attempts from the field, Leonard wasn't as efficient on Friday. The Bulls, who the Lakers torched on Thursday, deserve some credit for that. But Leonard still managed to record a quality overall stat line, and he's scored 25 points or more in six consecutive games. The Clippers host the Kings on Saturday, and that could potentially be another big game for Leonard. |

Darius Garland Darius Garland (toe) ruled out vs. Chicago
Thu, Mar 12, 2026, 2:05 PM
NBA Injury Report
Darius Garland (toe) has been ruled out against the Bulls on Friday.
Analysis: Garland will missed Friday's game, which is the first of a back-to-back. He should return to play the Kings on Saturday, but Kobe Sanders should slide back into the starting unit for their matchup with Chicago. |

Darius Garland Darius Garland records 21 points, six assists
Wed, Mar 11, 2026, 7:48 PM
Darius Garland recorded 21 points (8-of-13 FGs), one rebound, six assists, two steals and five three-pointers in Wednesday's win over the Timberwolves.
Analysis: Garland and his new teammates are strengthening their chemistry by the game. He's scored 21 points or more in three straight games, and the Clippers point guard did his damage on Wednesday in just 23 minutes. The Clippers end Week 20 with games on Friday and Saturday, and Garland did not play both legs of the team's last one. So, fantasy managers may get to use the point guard for one game only. |

Bennedict Mathurin Bennedict Mathurin chips in with 22 points vs. MIN
Wed, Mar 11, 2026, 7:47 PM
Bennedict Mathurin accounted for 22 points (5-of-10 FGs, 10-of-12 FTs), two rebounds, three assists, one steal and two three-pointers in Wednesday's win over the Timberwolves.
Analysis: Mathurin continued his recent 20-point run with another solid showing against the Timberwolves, making it four of the last five games in which he's exceeded that mark. The Clippers guard scored 10 of his 22 points from the foul line on Wednesday, and all that was missing from the final stat line was a blocked shot. The Clippers still have two more games in Week 20, which is good news for fantasy managers who have Mathurin on their roster. |
