Los Angeles Clippers forward Kawhi Leonard (knee) will not suit up for Tuesday's game versus the Phoenix Suns. This will be his fifth straight game that he will be sidelined because of right knee inflammation. Leonard being on the injury report is nothing new, and as the playoffs approach, Clippers fans and fantasy managers can only hope this is not a serious injury. While he sits out, Los Angeles will likely lean on Norman Powell, Terance Mann, and Amir Coffey to take on more prominent roles.
Utah Jazz guard Kris Dunn (foot) is out for Sunday's matchup against the Warriors. He has a sore left foot, so he'll get the night off. The Jazz also won't have Jordan Clarkson (pelvis), so Collin Sexton, Keyonte George, and Talen Horton-Tucker should see plenty of minutes, raising all of their DFS potential.
Los Angeles Clippers forward Kawhi Leonard (knee) won't suit up for Sunday's meeting with Cleveland. There were reports that this was expected to happen, so the update isn't surprising. But now that the veteran is sidelined for a fourth consecutive contest, there is a growing cause for concern regarding his knee injury. At any rate, Paul George and James Harden should remain the Clippers' top offensive contributors while Leonard is on the shelf. At the same time, Norman Powell, Russell Westbrook, Ivica Zubac, and Amir Coffey could also benefit.
Philadelphia 76ers center Mo Bamba (illness) is in danger of missing a third consecutive contest on Saturday against the Grizzlies. He's been under the weather lately, and the team has listed him as questionable for Saturday's game. Bamba's absence opens up playing time for Paul Reed, although his fantasy value is limited with Joel Embiid (knee) back in the lineup. However, Saturday marks the start of a back-to-back for Philadelphia, which could bring a rest day for Embiid this weekend. The reigning MVP is officially regarded as questionable for Saturday.
Philadelphia 76ers center Mo Bamba (illness) won't be available against the Heat on Thursday. He'll be out for a second consecutive contest with an illness after being initially regarded as questionable for the matchup. With Bamba on the shelf, Paul Reed will be the lone backup to Joel Embiid (knee), who is trending toward playing on Thursday. Embiid was limited to 29 minutes when he returned to the court on Tuesday versus OKC and likely won't have a full workload on Thursday either, giving Reed a chance to produce some low-tier fantasy value. He went close to a double-double against the Thunder with 12 points, nine rebounds, and one block in 19 minutes off the bench.
