LA Clippers

Los Angeles Clippers guard Kris Dunn (knee) will play against the Bulls on Monday night. The veteran appeared on the injury report because of left knee soreness. But it won't be enough to force him to miss his first game of the 2024-25 campaign. Dunn hasn't been the most consistent fantasy option this season, averaging 6.1 points, 3.3 rebounds, 2.7 assists, and 1.5 steals. But with Ivica Zubac (eye) and Kawhi Leonard (knee, injury management) sidelined for this contest, Dunn has a chance to be more impactful for fantasy managers versus Chicago, a club that has allowed 120.5 points per game this season, the second-worst average in the NBA.

Los Angeles Clippers forward/center Nicolas Batum (finger) will play on Monday versus Chicago. The veteran was in danger of missing this contest because of right finger soreness. However, he's good to go. With Ivica Zubac (eye) sidelined, Batum may find himself in the starting lineup. Batum logged six points, three steals, and one rebound in his only start of the 2024-25 campaign. But he could see an uptick in production versus the Bulls, a team that has allowed 120.5 points per game this season, the second-worst mark in the National Basketball Association. Kawhi Leonard (knee, injury management) will also take the night off, which should give others more scoring opportunities.

Los Angeles Clippers guard Norman Powell (back) will play on Monday night versus the Bulls. The veteran appeared on Monday's edition of the injury report because of back soreness. Fortunately, it won't keep him off the floor. Powell has had a fantastic 2024-25 campaign, averaging a career-high 23.6 points with 3.5 rebounds and 2.2 assists. With Kawhi Leonard (knee, injury management) and Ivica Zubac (eye) both sidelined, Powell should be more productive than usual, even more so against a Chicago team that has struggled on the defensive side of the ball this season.
