LA Clippers DVOA, Stats, & NBA Rankings

Brooklyn Nets guard/center Ben Simmons (back) will not be in the lineup on Tuesday against the Houston Rockets. As an injury-prone player, Simmons doesn't play in back-to-backs, and the Nets are scheduled to head out again on Wednesday night against the Washington Wizards. Tyrese Martin could break back into the rotation with Simmons unavailable, with Keon Johnson and Ziaire Williams in line for extra usage. Martin has averaged 8.1 points, 3.9 rebounds, and 1.8 assists for the season.

Atlanta Hawks guard/forward Bogdan Bogdanovic (personal) will not suit up for Monday's contest against the Detroit Pistons. He has been scratched for the past four games for personal reasons and remains away from the team. Bogdanovic's next chance to return will be on Wednesday against the San Antonio Spurs. Vit Krejci and Garrison Mathews have logged additional playing time with Bogdanovic unavailable. However, they haven't provided consistent value to fantasy managers.

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.
