Los Angeles Clippers forward Norman Powell (ankle) will suit up on Sunday against the Sacramento Kings. The 30-year-old was questionable because of a sprained ankle. Fortunately, the injury only cost him a game. With Paul George (knee) out, Powell should see a bump in fantasy production on Sunday night, no matter his role.


Los Angeles Clippers guard Paul George (knee) won't play on Sunday against the Sacramento Kings. Paul has missed only three games this season. But as expected, the 33-year-old has played well, averaging 22.1 points, 5.3 rebounds, and 1.6 steals. It's only knee soreness, so he should be back when the Clippers meet the Lakers on Wednesday. In the meantime, Norman Powell (ankle) will likely slide into the starting lineup. Fantasy managers also shouldn't forget about Amir Coffey, who has averaged 15.7 points in the three games Paul has missed during the 2023-24 campaign.


Washington Wizards forward Deni Avdia (heel) remains out on Sunday evening versus the Cavaliers. The 23-year-old has a heel contusion, keeping him off the floor for Friday's matchup against OKC. He was questionable, so he's seemingly getting close to returning. But until Avdija is back in the lineup, Bilal Coulibaly, who had 11 points, five boards, and two steals on Friday, is worth streaming.


Cleveland Cavaliers guard Donovan Mitchell (illness) will return on Sunday against the Washington Wizards. He missed the last two games because of an illness. However, the 27-year-old was trending in the right direction, so fantasy managers already planned on getting him back in the lineup. With Mitchell's return, Isaac Okoro will presumably return to the bench.


New Orleans Pelicans guard CJ McCollum (ankle) won't suit up on Sunday night versus Chicago. The former Trail Blazer injured his ankle on Friday against the Miami Heat, forcing him to exit after just 15 minutes on the floor. At this point, it's hard to gauge how long McCollum will be sidelined. But with Jose Alvarado getting a three-game suspension, Jordan Hawkins should draw consideration from fantasy managers for streaming purposes. Hawkins has averaged 17.3 points, 4.2 rebounds, and 1.1 steals in 10 starts this season.
