Utah Jazz guard Kris Dunn (foot) is ruled out for Thursday's game versus the Houston Rockets. Dunn is missing his third straight game with a foot injury limiting his play. Utah is among the many teams out of contention prioritizing playing it safe by resting all banged-up players. Dunn joins Collin Sexton and Jordan Clarkson as three Jazz guards missing time and opening up more playing time. Johnny Juzang and Keyonte George get the starting guard spots to improve their fantasy value. Talen Horton-Tucker will also see more usage increase coming off the bench on the limited roster.
Los Angeles Clippers forward Kawhi Leonard (knee) will sit out a sixth consecutive game on Wednesday versus Phoenix. Leonard has yet to see any action this month after previously missing only six games this season. P.J. Tucker and Norman Powell have picked up starts in his place. The former started three straight games before completely dropping out of the rotation on Tuesday against the Suns. Powell entered the first unit to register 10 points and five rebounds across 33 minutes. It was a fairly quiet evening for him, and Powell should be capable of much more if he maintains the role for Wednesday's rematch.
Los Angeles Clippers guard James Harden (foot) will miss a second consecutive contest on Wednesday against Phoenix. The former MVP is dealing with right foot inflammation as the regular season is starting to draw to a close. Harden's absence allowed Russell Westbrook to shine with a triple-double against the Suns on Tuesday. However, he might also be out for the rematch after the Clippers listed him as questionable ahead of Wednesday's game. Bones Hyland should be next in line to take over the baton, with Xavier Moon possibly also getting meaningful minutes on Wednesday.
Los Angeles Clippers guard James Harden (foot) won't play on Tuesday versus Phoenix. He has been dealing with a sore right foot and didn't participate in shootaround on Tuesday. With Kawhi Leonard (knee) also sidelined, Paul George will be a popular DFS option. At the same time, Norman Powell, Russell Westbrook, and Ivica Zubac should get more involved offensively.
Los Angeles Clippers guard James Harden (foot) did not warm up with the team during morning shootaround ahead of Tuesday's showdown with the Phoenix Suns. It places some doubt on Harden's status for the first leg of LA's back-to-back set with the Suns after he was dealing with a sore right foot leading into Sunday's narrow home win over the visiting Cleveland Cavaliers. If the 34-year-old All-Star ends up missing Tuesday's game, the Clippers' offense would center around Paul George with Kawhi Leonard (knee) already ruled out. Although Phoenix is allowing the sixth-fewest DraftKings points to opposing small forwards, PG-13 would be tough to fade in DFS while averaging 25.4 points, 5.1 rebounds, 3.4 assists, 1.5 steals, and 3.6 three-pointers over his last 14 appearances.
