LA Clippers DVOA, Stats, & NBA Rankings

Los Angeles Clippers guard Norman Powell (hamstring) has been ruled out for Friday's matchup with the Atlanta Hawks, which will be his seventh consecutive missed game since suffering a hamstring strain on March 2. Despite missing Powell, the Clippers have gone 4-2 over the last six games while Bogdan Bogdanovic and Amir Coffey both get bumps in playing time and opportunities. Bogdanovic is averaging 15.2 points, 5.5 rebounds, 3.0 assists, and 2.0 threes per game during that stretch while Coffey is posting 8.3 points, 1.3 rebounds, and 1.3 threes per contest.

Los Angeles Clippers forwardKawhi Leonard(rest) will be unavailable to play against the Miami Heat on Wednesday. Leonard will have the night off to rest due to right knee injury management. The Clippers are in the second half of back-to-back games, so it is no surprise the 33-year-old is out. He finished with 29 points, eight rebounds, three assists, two steals and one block in 36 minutes of work during a 127-120 loss to New Orleans on Tuesday. With Leonard sidelined, Derrick Jones, Bogdan Bogdanovic, and Amir Coffeyare players who should see extra scoring opportunities during Wednesday's contest.

Los Angeles Clippers guard/forward Ben Simmons (knee) won't travel with the team for the upcoming three-game road trip. Simmons has missed the last five games and will sit out at least three more contests. When healthy, Simmons was actually a decent fantasy option for the Clippers, but it's unclear when he's going to play again. In the meantime, Amir Coffey and Derrick Jones Jr. should see increased roles in the rotation. Neither player is an ideal fantasy option, but they could offer some deep league value.

Los Angeles Clippers guard/forward Ben Simmons (knee) has been ruled out ahead of Friday's game against the New York Knicks. Simmons will now miss his fourth game in a row due to a left knee injury. Simmons was actually a decent streaming option when he was healthy, but now it's unclear when he'll get back on the floor. His next chance to play will be against the Sacramento Kings on Sunday. Both Amir Coffey and Derrick Jones Jr. should see increased roles in the rotation until Simmons returns. Jones is the better streaming choice between the two forwards right now.

Los Angeles Clippers forward Derrick Jones Jr. (groin) has been removed from the injury report ahead of Friday's game against the New York Knicks. It appears Jones will be back in the mix after missing each of the last three games due to a groin issue. Jones has been playing a bigger role in the rotation lately with Norman Powell (hamstring) being sidelined. The expectation is that he'll continue playing 20-plus minutes until Powell returns. Bogdan Bogdanovic and Kris Dunn could lose some playing time with Jones getting back in the mix on Friday.
