LA Clippers

Utah Jazz guard Kris Dunn (rest) is unavailable for Friday's tilt against the Atlanta Hawks. He will have the game off for rest. Dunn is averaging 18.5 minutes on the court, 5.5 points, 2.8 rebounds and 3.9 assists across 57 contests this season. Keyonte George is returning from his illness, but the 29-year-old Dunn filled in against Chicago on Wednesday, scoring 11 points (5-6 FG, 1-1 3Pt) with five assists, two rebounds, and one steal in 29 minutes.

Los Angeles Clippers forward Kawhi Leonard (back) will suit up on Thursday against Chicago. He exited Tuesday's loss to Minnesota, leaving the arena before the end of the first half. As a result, many had assumed he wouldn't be available on Thursday and possibly Friday's game in New Orleans. However, Leonard is good to go and can be added to all fantasy lineups. Unfortunately, his availability could mean less work for Amir Coffey, who was in line to get more involved on the scoring end.

Los Angeles Clippers guard James Harden (shoulder) won't play on Thursday against the Bulls. He's been dealing with a shoulder strain for the last few games but has played through it. However, there's been talk of lightening his workload heading toward the postseason, so he'll finally get the night off. Fortunately for the Clippers, Kawhi Leonard (back) is active. Bones Hyland will also move into the starting lineup, making him an attractive streaming option in all fantasy setups. Hyland will also see plenty of attention in DFS contests.

Los Angeles Clippers guard James Harden (shoulder) is questionable ahead of Thursday's game in Chicago. Harden has routinely appeared on the injury report of late because of a left shoulder strain. However, it hasn't kept him off the floor. There has been chatter about lightening his workload to keep him healthy for a deep postseason push, so he might sit this one out, especially since the Clippers will travel to New Orleans for a Friday night battle with the Pelicans. That said, if Harden gets the night off, Amir Coffey and Bones Hyland could earn more minutes, although neither player can be trusted for fantasy production.

Los Angeles Clippers forward Kawhi Leonard (back) is questionable for Thursday's meeting with Chicago. The veteran left Tuesday's matchup with the Minnesota Timberwolves and was shown leaving the arena before the end of the first half. Although details were scarce, TNT's Stephanie Ready eventually reported that Leonard was bothered by back spasms. He has played 58 games this season, his most as a Clipper. But considering the 32-year-old is also dealing with a groin strain, fantasy managers shouldn't expect to see him out there on Thursday. There's also a realistic chance he won't be in the lineup on Friday in New Orleans. Nonetheless, until Leonard returns, Amir Coffey, averaging 11.3 points and 3.9 boards in 10 starts this season, could fill the void. There will also be more scoring opportunities for Paul George, Norman Powell, and James Harden (shoulder).
