James Harden James Harden (calf) plays, tallies 13 points
Mon, Dec 15, 2025, 8:23 PM
James Harden added 13 points (4-of-10 FGs, 1-of-4 FTs), three rebounds, six assists, three steals and four three-pointers in the loss to the Grizzlies on Monday.
Analysis: Harden played through a calf issue against the Grizzlies and had one of his least productive offensive outings of the season. He was held under 15 points for the third time all season failed to reach his season average in assists. The former MVP did add fantasy value by collecting at least three steals for the third game in a row. But needless to say, Monday's performance didn't meet the standard he's set. |

Kris Dunn Kris Dunn has 17 points, five triples vs. Memphis
Mon, Dec 15, 2025, 8:11 PM
Kris Dunn totaled 17 points (6-of-10 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), one rebound, five assists and three three-pointers in the loss to the Grizzlies on Monday.
Analysis: Dunn's scoring production hinged largely on whether he could make open three-pointers in this game, which he did. As a result, he logged his highest scoring total of the month and, additionally, recorded his third straight game with at least four assists. Surprisingly, the savvy on-ball defender didn't record any steals or blocks for the first time since October. Still, he had a solid performance overall and will likely continue to start at shooting guard. |

Kawhi Leonard Kawhi Leonard logs 21 points Monday vs. Grizzlies
Mon, Dec 15, 2025, 7:59 PM
Kawhi Leonard had 21 points (9-of-18 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), four rebounds, three assists, one steal and one three-pointer in the loss to the Grizzlies on Monday.
Analysis: Leonard led the Clippers in scoring on Monday, as he was the only player on the team to reach the 20-point mark. He didn't provide much fantasy value outside of his scoring, though, which isn't usually the case. Still, the 20-point outing allowed him to extend his streak of such games to eight. The Clippers need Leonard's scoring to win games, and he continues to be one of their best options. Expect him to remain an efficient scorer so long as he's healthy and on the floor. |

Justin Russo
James Harden (calf) is available for Monday's game against the Grizzlies.
Analysis: Harden is now officially available for Monday's game. Fantasy managers can slot him into their lineups as they usually would. Bogdan Bogdanovi? misses out on a boost to his fantasy value and should not be rostered in most leagues. |

Updating an earlier report, James Harden (calf) is a game-time decision for Monday's game against the Grizzlies.
Analysis: While Clippers head coach Tyronn Lue said during his availability that Harden will play, the team has since said that he misspoke. Harden is a game-time decision for Monday's game, and Bogdan Bogdanovi? could be the choice to start if âThe Beardâ can't play. |

Analysis: Harden will give it a go on Monday, despite battling a calf contusion. His availability for the Clippers is massive, being that he's the team leader in points and assists per game. They've lost three straight games overall and will try for their first win of the season against the Grizzlies. |

James Harden James Harden (calf) questionable Monday vs. MEM
Sun, Dec 14, 2025, 2:12 PM
Justin Russo
James Harden (calf) is questionable for Monday's game against the Grizzlies.
Analysis: While Harden is dealing with a left calf contusion, there were no reports regarding him being limited during Sunday's practice. If he's unable to play on Monday, the Clippers will rely even more on Kawhi Leonard offensively, while Bogdan Bogdanovi? could move into the starting lineup. |

Sun, Dec 14, 2025, 10:08 AM
Justin Russo
Nicolas Batum (illness) did not participate in Sunday's practice.
Analysis: Batum was the lone Clippers player to not practice on Sunday, as he is still dealing with an illness. The veteran forward should be considered questionable for Monday's game against the Grizzlies, and his availability does not have a significant impact on fantasy basketball. |

Derrick Jones Lue: Derrick Jones Jr. (knee) âahead of schedule'
Sat, Dec 13, 2025, 12:58 PM
Law Murray
Clippers head coach Tyronn Lue said on Saturday that he considers Derrick Jones Jr. (knee) to be âahead of scheduleâ in his recovery.
Analysis: Jones has been sidelined since he suffered a sprained MCL in his right knee during a November 16 game against the Celtics. At the time, it was announced that he would miss at least six weeks. However, Jones has been able to play some 1-on-1 and 3-on-3 recently, and his head coach considers the forward to be âahead of scheduleâ in his recovery. John Collins has been the starting power forward in Jones' absence, but that has not done much to bolster his fantasy value. |

Ivica Zubac Zubac erupts for 33 points in loss to Rockets
Thu, Dec 11, 2025, 5:51 PM
Ivica Zubac had 33 points (13-of-14 FGs, 7-of-11 FTs), seven rebounds, one assist, one steal and two blocks against the Rockets on Thursday.
Analysis: Zubac tied his season-high with 33 points against the Rockets on Wednesday. Almost as surprising as the high scoring output for Zubac was that he's been held to seven and six rebounds in two of his last three games. The Clippers are back in action Monday against the Grizzlies. |

Law Murray
Jordan Miller (back) was able to log a full practice on Tuesday.
Analysis: Miller has missed three straight games for the Clippers, but the 2023 second-round pick could be available to take on the Rockets on Thursday. His official status will be provided on the official injury report. Miller has been limited by multiple injuries this season, and he hasn't been able to play a large role when he's healthy. |

Ivica Zubac Ivica Zubac records 15 points, 13 rebounds vs. MIN
Sat, Dec 6, 2025, 5:17 PM
Ivica Zubac tallied 15 points (7-of-14 FGs, 1-of-5 FTs), 13 rebounds, two assists and one blocked shot in Saturday's loss to the Timberwolves.
Analysis: Zubac started another double-double streak on Saturday after seeing his previous run of three straight end on Friday. Over the past two weeks, he has provided sixth-round value in eight-cat formats, which aligns with his season-long production. Zubac and the Clippers play once in Week 8, as they visit the Rockets on Thursday. |

Kawhi Leonard Kawhi Leonard scores 20 points vs. Minnesota
Sat, Dec 6, 2025, 5:17 PM
Kawhi Leonard accounted for 20 points (8-of-17 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), three rebounds, two assists and two three-pointers in Saturday's loss to the Timberwolves.
Analysis: Leonard has scored at least 20 points in six straight and seven of the eight games he's played since returning from ankle and foot injuries. He has provided second-round value in eight-cat formats since returning, and he has not missed a game. While the Clippers only playing once during Week 8 isn't great for Leonard managers from a production standpoint, the added time off may benefit him once the schedule returns to ânormalâ after the NBA Cup. |

James Harden James Harden now 10th on NBA all-time points list
Sat, Dec 6, 2025, 5:16 PM
James Harden finished Saturday's loss to the Timberwolves with 34 points (10-of-18 FGs, 13-of-15 FTs), five rebounds, six assists, four steals, one block and one three-pointer.
Analysis: Harden finished Saturday's defeat with a robust stat line, and he made some personal history. The Clippers guard moved into tenth on the NBA's all-time scoring list, passing Carmelo Anthony. Over the past two weeks, Harden has provided top-25 value in eight-cat formats, one round behind his season-long value. Turnovers remain an issue for the veteran guard, but most fantasy managers understand what they're getting into at this point in Harden's career. |

Bogdan Bogdanovic Bogdan Bogdanovi? (hip) available Saturday vs. MIN
Sat, Dec 6, 2025, 1:36 PM
NBA Injury Report
Bogdan Bogdanovi? (hip) is available for Saturday's game against the Timberwolves.
Analysis: Bogdanovi? has not appeared in a game since November 20. While his return gives the Clippers added depth on the wing, don't expect to see the veteran log heavy minutes. However, Bogdanovi? being available likely means fewer minutes for rookie Kobe Sanders, but this won't affect fantasy basketball. |

Jordan Miller Jordan Miller (back) out Saturday vs. Timberwolves
Sat, Dec 6, 2025, 8:05 AM
Jordan Miller (back) is out for Saturday's game against the Timberwolves.
Analysis: Miller is set to miss his third consecutive game with a sore back. His absence doesn't impact fantasy basketball. |

Bogdan Bogdanovic Bogdan Bogdanovi? (hip) probable Saturday
Sat, Dec 6, 2025, 8:03 AM
Bogdan Bogdanovi? (hip) is probable for Saturday's game against the Timberwolves.
Analysis: Bogdanovi? appears set to return from an eight-game absence due to a hip injury. The 33-year-old shooting guard is listed as probable for Saturday's game against the Timberwolves. Bogdanovi? could be on a minutes restriction and also cut into Kobe Sanders and Nicolas Batum's minutes. |

Ivica Zubac Ivica Zubac held to 10 points, six boards vs. MEM
Fri, Dec 5, 2025, 5:43 PM
Ivica Zubac finished Friday's loss to the Grizzlies with 10 points (4-of-6 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), six rebounds, one assist and one steal.
Analysis: Zubac's production on Friday was minimal compared to what he has shown over the past couple of seasons. The veteran center didn't find many scoring opportunities on Friday, and was surprisingly unimpactful on the glass in his 35 minutes of game action. As a result, his streak of double-doubles ended at three games, and he failed to secure double-digit rebounds for the first time since November 22 against the Hornets. He'll have a chance to bounce back quickly on the second night of a back-to-back against the Timberwolves on Saturday. |

James Harden James Harden has 18/2/7 line Friday vs. Memphis
Fri, Dec 5, 2025, 5:36 PM
James Harden notched 18 points (6-of-13 FGs, 3-of-4 FTs), two rebounds, seven assists, one block and three three-pointers in the loss to the Grizzlies on Friday.
Analysis: Harden's numbers were down on Friday across the board, as he put forth one of his least productive outings of the season. He finished with fewer than 20 points for just the 15th time this season, which didn't appear would be the case after scoring 13 first-quarter points. He was also unproductive on the glass and didn't provide his usual level of impact as a passer. All in all, it was an unspectacular performance from the former league MVP, relative to what type of numbers he's usually putting up. Fantasy managers will hope Harden can bounce back against the Timberwolves on Saturday. |
