LA Clippers DVOA, Stats, & NBA Rankings

Los Angeles Clippers guard James Harden (foot) is considered questionable for Sunday's contest against the Houston Rockets because of right foot inflammation. It would not be surprising to see the Clippers play it safe and rest their veteran guard, as Los Angeles is already locked into the fourth seed in the Western Conference. Even if Harden does suit up, his playing time might be limited. The 34-year-old took the court on Friday against the Utah Jazz but ended up seeing 10 minutes of action. Fantasy managers will want to check back on Sunday to get final confirmation on Harden's playing status.

Utah Jazz guard Kris Dunn (foot) will miss a fourth consecutive game on Friday against the Clippers. He remains on the shelf due to inflammation in his left foot. The Jazz backcourt is down to bare bones, meaning fantasy managers should target Keyonte George and Talen Horton-Tucker. Johnny Juzang is also among the beneficiaries in the situation, but he's been wildly inconsistent with his performances.

Utah Jazz guard Kris Dunn (foot) is ruled out for Thursday's game versus the Houston Rockets. Dunn is missing his third straight game with a foot injury limiting his play. Utah is among the many teams out of contention prioritizing playing it safe by resting all banged-up players. Dunn joins Collin Sexton and Jordan Clarkson as three Jazz guards missing time and opening up more playing time. Johnny Juzang and Keyonte George get the starting guard spots to improve their fantasy value. Talen Horton-Tucker will also see more usage increase coming off the bench on the limited roster.

Los Angeles Clippers forward Kawhi Leonard (knee) will sit out a sixth consecutive game on Wednesday versus Phoenix. Leonard has yet to see any action this month after previously missing only six games this season. P.J. Tucker and Norman Powell have picked up starts in his place. The former started three straight games before completely dropping out of the rotation on Tuesday against the Suns. Powell entered the first unit to register 10 points and five rebounds across 33 minutes. It was a fairly quiet evening for him, and Powell should be capable of much more if he maintains the role for Wednesday's rematch.

Los Angeles Clippers guard James Harden (foot) will miss a second consecutive contest on Wednesday against Phoenix. The former MVP is dealing with right foot inflammation as the regular season is starting to draw to a close. Harden's absence allowed Russell Westbrook to shine with a triple-double against the Suns on Tuesday. However, he might also be out for the rematch after the Clippers listed him as questionable ahead of Wednesday's game. Bones Hyland should be next in line to take over the baton, with Xavier Moon possibly also getting meaningful minutes on Wednesday.
