LA Clippers DVOA, Stats, & NBA Rankings

Los Angeles Clippers guard James Harden (shoulder) for Saturday's matchup against the Chicago Bulls may not suit up due to a left shoulder injury. This new injury poses a challenge for Harden, though it's anticipated to be a day-to-day concern. The Clippers may find themselves severely depleted as both Kawhi Leonard (groin), dealing with a groin issue, and Paul George (knee), nursing a knee problem, are also marked as questionable. Further updates on the condition of these key players are anticipated as game time approaches.

Los Angeles Clippers forward Kawhi Leonard (groin) is questionable for Saturday's game against the Chicago Bulls due to a left groin injury. The Clippers could be very shorthanded as James Harden (shoulder) and Paul George (knee) are also questionable. More information on the status of these players is expected closer to game time. In the event that Leonard is unable to play, Amir Coffey is expected to benefit the most.

Philadelphia 76ers forward Nicolas Batum (foot) has been ruled out for Friday's meeting with New Orleans. He has been downgraded from a questionable status. Batum comes out of the lineup right after getting a new look in the starting unit against Memphis on Wednesday. His absence could give a starter's role back to Kelly Oubre Jr., while Kenyon Martin Jr. might also have a larger role. Oubre Jr. is enjoying a good season in Philadelphia and could be ready for a massive night offensively on Friday, with Joel Embiid (knee) and Tyrese Maxey (concussion) out of the lineup.

Philadelphia 76ers forward Nicolas Batum (foot) is uncertain to suit up for Friday's game against the visiting Pelicans. The 35-year-old has been heavily involved of late, logging 30 minutes in four games in March. But he's dealing with foot soreness, and considering his history, fantasy managers should begin planning accordingly. If Batum is ruled out, Kenyon Martin Jr. might see more action. However, he'd be a risky option in any fantasy format.

Dallas Mavericks forward Derrick Jones Jr. (shoulder) is regarded as questionable for Tuesday's matchup against Indiana. The high-flyer from UNLV might have to skip a very favorable matchup due to a left shoulder strain. The timing of the injury couldn't be worse, as Jones Jr. has just had one of his best outings of the season with a 21-point, seven-rebound effort against Philadelphia. Jones Jr.'s absence would open the door for Dante Exum and Tim Hardaway Jr. to make a bigger mark off the Dallas bench. A lot of big fantasy lines are expected from the clash at Gainbridge Fieldhouse, as Indiana is ranked No. 1 in pace but sits among the worst defensive teams in the league.
