LA Clippers DVOA, Stats, & NBA Rankings

Los Angeles Clippers center Drew Eubanks (ankle) is not ready to face his former team, the Utah Jazz, on Thursday. He is nursing a left ankle sprain, which will sideline Eubanks for a second consecutive contest. The Jazz traded Eubanks to the Clippers on Feb. 1, but he has suited up for only three games with his new squad. The 28-year-old has notched 3.3 points and 3.0 rebounds in 8.7 minutes. With Ivica Zubac healthy and having a fantastic season, Eubanks has little chance of making an impact in L.A.

Los Angeles Clippers forward Amir Coffey (knee) has been listed as questionable for Thursday's tilt against the Utah Jazz. A sore left knee might keep Coffey sidelined after he logged 18 minutes in Wednesday's win against the Memphis Grizzlies. So far, Coffey has missed only one game this season. He has been a solid contributor for the Clippers but does not hold much fantasy value. Across 25.9 minutes of action, Coffey has averaged 10.4 points, 2.4 rebounds, and 1.1 assists. If he is out on Thursday, Derrick Jones Jr., Bogdan Bogdanovic, and Nicolas Batum may receive additional playing opportunities.

Los Angeles Clippers forward Ben Simmons (conditioning) is not listed on the injury report for Thursday's game against the Jazz, meaning he'll be available to make his debut with his new team. He finalized a contract buyout with the Nets on Friday after averaging 24.6 minutes in his 33 games this season and producing 6.2 points, 6.9 assists, 5.2 rebounds, and 0.9 steals per game. His role with the Clippers is uncertain but with Kawhi Leonard (rest) not playing, Simmons could get significant playing time on Thursday.

Los Angeles Clippers guard Kris Dunn (undisclosed) appears good to go for Thursday's action against the Utah Jazz. Dunn didn't finish Wednesday's contest against the Memphis Grizzlies due to an unspecified minor injury. However, Clippers head coach Tyronn Lue told reporters postgame that Dunn should be fine for Thursday night. Lue inserted Dunn back into the starting lineup on Wednesday, and he put in a tremendous 21-minute shift, finishing a 128-114 victory with 14 points, three rebounds, five assists, and five steals. Dunn started in place of Derrick Jones Jr., who settled for nine points and two rebounds in 21 minutes off the bench.

Los Angeles Clippers forward Kawhi Leonard (rest) will not play in Thursday's matchup against the Utah Jazz. The team does not want to take any risks with its injury-prone star following Leonard's productive 34-minute outing in Wednesday's 128-114 win over the Memphis Grizzlies. Leonard had his second-highest scoring game of the season with 25 points and tallied five rebounds, four assists, and three steals. Amir Coffey, who recorded 15 points against Memphis, may start in place of Leonard on Thursday, with Bogdan Bogdanovic and Derrick Jones Jr. also in the mix for additional playing time.
