LA Clippers DVOA, Stats, & NBA Rankings

Los Angeles Clippers guard Norman Powell (back) is listed as questionable ahead of Wednesday's game against the Boston Celtics. It's worth noting that Powell was also questionable for Monday's contest, but ended up playing against the Chicago Bulls. He looked fine on the court as he finished with 27 points across 38 minutes of action in the loss. The Clippers are dealing with a handful of injuries, so it's uncertain who would benefit the most from the loss of Powell. Right now, Kris Dunn (knee), Terance Mann, and Kevin Porter Jr. all stand to gain value if Powell is unable to go.

Los Angeles Clippers guard James Harden (groin) is listed as questionable ahead of Wednesday's game against the Boston Celtics. Harden was uncertain to play on Monday, but he suited up and played 35 minutes in the loss to the Chicago Bulls. He struggled as he only knocked down five shots from the floor, so possibly the groin injury was impacting his performance. The Clippers would likely use a committee approach to fill the void if Harden was unable to play. Out of everyone, Kevin Porter Jr. would likely gain the most streaming value if Harden is unavailable for Wednesday's contest.

Los Angeles Clippers center Ivica Zubac (eye) has been ruled out ahead of Wednesday's game against the Boston Celtics. The big man will miss his second game in a row due to a left eye issue. This is the front end of a back-to-back set, so hopefully Zubac can return for Thursday's game. For now, Mo Bamba figures to move into the starting five, but he only played 15 minutes during their last game. He finished with 10 points and seven rebounds, so Bamba is still worth a look as a streaming choice. Also, Nicolas Batum should see an increase in minutes with Zubac and Kawhi Leonard (rest) sitting out on Wednesday.

Los Angeles Clippers forward Kawhi Leonard (rest) has been ruled out ahead of Wednesday's game against the Boston Celtics. The superstar forward will now miss his second game in a row due to right knee injury management. It's worth noting that Wednesday is the front end of a back-to-back set, so Leonard will hopefully be back in action against the Washington Wizards on Thursday. The absence of Leonard should mean more minutes for Kris Dunn, Amir Coffey, and Nicolas Batum for Wednesday's contest. None of them have great streaming appeal, but Coffey might be the best choice out of the bunch right now. The 27-year-old is averaging 10.3 points and 2.6 rebounds in 25 minutes per game. Coffey has been playing more minutes recently, but that could go down once Leonard is back in the picture.

Los Angeles Clippers guard Kris Dunn (knee) will play against the Bulls on Monday night. The veteran appeared on the injury report because of left knee soreness. But it won't be enough to force him to miss his first game of the 2024-25 campaign. Dunn hasn't been the most consistent fantasy option this season, averaging 6.1 points, 3.3 rebounds, 2.7 assists, and 1.5 steals. But with Ivica Zubac (eye) and Kawhi Leonard (knee, injury management) sidelined for this contest, Dunn has a chance to be more impactful for fantasy managers versus Chicago, a club that has allowed 120.5 points per game this season, the second-worst average in the NBA.
