LA Clippers DVOA, Stats, & NBA Rankings

Los Angeles Clippers forward Kawhi Leonard (knee) won't suit up for Sunday's meeting with the Cavaliers. The Clippers play back-to-back contests, so Leonard will likely be back on Monday night against the Orlando Magic. In the meantime, Nicolas Batum is the favorite to take over at the four spot, with the veteran averaging 8.9 points, 3.3 rebounds, and 1.5 steals in eight starts during the 2024-25 campaign. Bogdan Bogdanovic should also be more involved on the offensive end behind James Harden and Norman Powell.

Los Angeles Clippers guard James Harden (foot) will play in Wednesday's contest against the New York Knicks. The former MVP injured his right foot on Sunday against the Oklahoma City Thunder, but he has shaken off a questionable tag. Harden has been close to averaging a double-double in March, notching 26.2 points and 9.5 assists per game. He will continue to lead the offense against a Knicks team that is weakened in the backcourt due to injuries to Jalen Brunson (ankle) and Miles McBride (groin).

Los Angeles Clippers guard James Harden (foot) is considered questionable for Wednesday's clash against the New York Knicks. He has appeared on the injury report due to a sore right foot sustained during Sunday's matchup against the Oklahoma City Thunder. If Harden is unable to play on Wednesday, it will mark only his fourth absence of the season. Derrick Jones Jr., Bogdan Bogdanovic, or Ben Simmons may replace Harden in the starting lineup. Meanwhile, Norman Powell and Kawhi Leonard would take on larger roles offensively, with Kris Dunn assuming additional playmaking duties.

Dallas Mavericks center Kai Jones (quadriceps) will play on Wednesday against Indiana. He missed the last seven games. But Jones will return at the perfect time, considering Klay Thompson (illness), Brandon Williams (hamstring), and Caleb Martin (hip) are sidelined. While it's unknown if the 24-year-old will get the start, he should see enough minutes to find his way into some fantasy lineups versus a Pacers club that has allowed 115.5 points per contest throughout the 2024-25 campaign.

Los Angeles Clippers guard Kris Dunn (knee) is back in the mix ahead of Tuesday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. Dunn will shift back into the starting five after missing Sunday's contest due to a knee issue. His return to the starting unit will move Derrick Jones Jr. back to the bench where he'll offer less streaming appeal. Dunn has been playing fairly significant minutes lately, but still isn't offering a ton of fantasy value. He could be worth a look in deep leagues, but Dunn doesn't have much value outside of that.
