LA Clippers DVOA, Stats, & NBA Rankings

Los Angeles Clippers guard James Harden (shoulder) will sit out a second consecutive game on Friday against New Orleans. The former MVP has sustained a left shoulder strain, relinquishing his starter's spot to Bones Hyland. Hyland produced a nice 17-point, 11-assist double-double on Thursday versus Chicago, adding five rebounds and four steals. He should be a good streaming option again on Friday, although it's going to be a much more difficult matchup.

Los Angeles Clippers guard James Harden (shoulder) has received another questionable tag for their Friday night matchup with the New Orleans Pelicans. The former MVP was forced to miss the first half of their back-to-back on Thursday with a shoulder strain and he may be forced to miss a second consecutive contest. Since Russell Westbrook (hand) is also out, Terance Mann and Bones Hyland both joined the starting five against the Chicago Bulls. Hyland put together a double-double with 17 points and 11 assists while Mann couldn't find much of a shooting rhythm. If Harden has to miss another game, both Hyland and Mann can serve as solid streaming options.

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.
