Los Angeles Clippers guard Norman Powell (hip) won't play on Sunday against Toronto. Powell is having the best season of his career, averaging 24.1 points, 3.6 rebounds, and 1.4 steals. But he'll sit out Sunday's contest because of hip soreness, although it's unknown if he'll remain sidelined on Tuesday versus the Los Angeles Lakers. With that in mind, Amir Coffey will move into the starting lineup, giving him at least value appeal for DFS managers. However, Powell's absence will likely mean even more production from James Harden, Kawhi Leonard, and Ivica Zubac.
According to ESPN's Shams Charania, the Clippers acquired guard Patty Mills and center Drew Eubanks from the Jazz. In exchange, Utah will receive forward P.J. Tucker and center Mo Bamba. The 36-year-old is nowhere near the level of player that he was during his days in San Antonio, averaging only 4.4 points in 17 games with the Jazz this season. It's unknown how much work he'll receive in Los Angeles, assuming he remains on the roster. If anything, Mills will at least add another veteran voice to a team looking to make a deep postseason run. With that said, unless Mills gets routine action, which isn't likely to happen, he won't be featured in many fantasy lineups moving forward.
According to ESPN's Shams Charania, the Clippers have acquired center Drew Eubanks and guard Patty Mills from the Jazz. In exchange, Utah will receive center Mo Bamba and forward P.J. Tucker. Eubanks hasn't been overly productive throughout the 2024-25 campaign. However, he saw a bump in production during his four starts, averaging 10.5 points, 7.5 rebounds, and 2.8 blocks. Despite that, Eubanks might continue having issues getting on the floor in Los Angeles, considering Ivica Zubac is having the best season of his career. As a result, Eubanks likely won't see much attention from fantasy managers. Yet, he may get a few more cracks at the starting lineup if Zubac doesn't play, giving him some streaming appeal moving forward.
Los Angeles Clippers guard Kris Dunn (knee) has been ruled out on Friday for their matchup against the Charlotte Hornets. The team is holding him out for the sixth consecutive game due to injury management on his left knee. Amir Coffey and Kevin Porter Jr. will see more minutes off of the bench and can be inconsistent streaming options for fantasy managers in category leagues. Coffey registered an abysmal game in their last matchup, but Porter posted nine points, four rebounds, and one assist while shooting 4-for-6 from the floor.
According toTomer Azarly of ClutchPoints.com, Los Angeles Clippers guardKris Dunn(knee) will be unavailable on Wednesday against the San Antonio Spurs. Dunn will miss his fifth straight game due to left knee injury management. During this year's campaign, the 30-year-old has been a key contributor in the second unit for the Clippers, averaging over 22 minutes per game and providing 6.0 points, 3.2 rebounds, 2.7 assists, and 1.5 steals per contest. Until Dunn returns, Kevin Porter Jr.,Terance Mann, andAmir Coffey will continue to see expanded roles.
