LA Clippers DVOA, Stats, & NBA Rankings

Los Angeles Clippers guard/forward Norman Powell (leg) won't play on Wednesday night against Portland. He's battling a left leg contusion, so he's likely day-to-day. But since Powell is in the running to win the Sixth Man of the Year award, the Clippers will be without their top bench option. Terance Mann (shoulder) is also out versus the Trail Blazers, meaning minutes will be up for grabs. While Bones Hyland and possibly P.J. Tucker are in line to get extra work, Amir Coffey will enter the starting lineup. Coffey has averaged 11.3 points in 10 appearances with the first five this season, making him an ideal DFS value option.

Los Angeles Clippers guards Norman Powell (shin) and Terance Mann (shoulder) were both at shootaround on Wednesday morning. Mann said he is not concerned about his strained right shoulder following Sunday's dismal home loss to the Atlanta Hawks, but he remains officially listed as questionable for Wednesday's meeting with the Portland Trail Blazers. Powell is dealing with a left lower leg contusion after missing Sunday's defeat but is trending in the right direction for a revenge game against Portland. The 30-year-old sharpshooting swingman has played a more pronounced role as L.A.'s sixth man with Russell Westbrook (hand) out, hovering around fantasy's top 150 over his last eight games on averages of 16.3 points, 3.1 rebounds, 2.6 three-pointers, and 1.0 steals in 28.8 minutes. Wednesday's matchup is a soft one against a Blazers squad that ranks 26th in opponent field-goal percentage (49.2%).

Los Angeles Clippers guard/forward Norman Powell (leg) is questionable for Wednesday's matchup against the Trail Blazers. A left lower leg contusion took him out of the lineup for Sunday's game against Atlanta, and Powell could be out for a second consecutive game. With Powell missing, Amir Coffey saw the most minutes off the Clippers bench on Sunday and should get extra action again on Wednesday, especially if Terance Mann (shoulder) also sits out the contest.

Los Angeles Clippers guard Norman Powell (leg) is out for Sunday's game against the Atlanta Hawks. The 30-year-old's injury occurred in Friday's 112-104 loss to New Orleans. Powell had missed just one game this season before being announced as unavailable before Sunday's tilt. If the former Toronto Raptors guard should miss an extended period of time, Amir Coffey and Brandon Boston could see an uptick in minutes in the Clippers rotation.

Los Angeles Clippers guard James Harden (shoulder) is available for Sunday's tilt with the Atlanta Hawks. The 34-year-old has been dealing with a left shoulder strain and has missed the last two games. Before being injured, Harden averaged 17.8 points, 8.6 assists, and 5.4 rebounds in 36.0 minutes per game across five contests. Bones Hyland played 24 minutes on Friday against New Orleans. However, with Harden's return, Hyland will see his minutes reduced on Sunday.
