Los Angeles Clippers head coach Ty Lue says forward Paul George (knee) will not practice Tuesday and will not play Wednesday against the Los Angeles Lakers. George is nursing soreness in his left knee that cost him Sunday's loss to the Sacramento Kings, and his next shot to return comes on Friday against the Washington Wizards. L.A.'s offense will run through Kawhi Leonard and James Harden, with Norman Powell being a fantasy streamer.

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.

Detroit Pistons guard Quentin Grimes (knee) will suit up on Saturday versus Orlando. This will be his first game as a Piston after spending the previous three years in New York. He averaged 8.6 points in 162 career games with the Knicks, although he had more than a few potent fantasy showings. With Marcus Sasser (knee) unavailable, Grimes could work his way into the rotation. However, the 23-year-old is a risky fantasy option in any format, especially since he could see limited action.

Detroit Pistons guard/forward Quentin Grimes (knee) appears ready to make his debut for his new squad, with the team listing him as probable for Saturday's matchup against Orlando. Grimes missed the end of his stint in New York with a right knee issue, and the injury has also delayed his debut in Motown. However, it looks like he will be good to go this weekend. The 23-year-old has been largely ineffective in 2023-24 due to poor shooting, and it's unclear how big of a role he will have on the Pistons team, with Cade Cunningham and Jaden Ivey running the backcourt.

Philadelphia 76ers guard Kyle Lowry (conditioning) will not play in the second half of the team's back-to-back as part of his back-to-competition reconditioning. The veteran point guard made his presence felt during his Philly debut on Thursday as the team looked a lot more organized while he was on the floor. With a familiar coach in Nick Nurse, Lowry will likely flourish in a leadership role for this team, but that's not always going to translate to fantasy value. He's supposed to be Tyrese Maxey's backup and now that De'Anthony Melton is returning, there will be fewer minutes to go around in the backcourt. While he's out, Melton and Payne will likely see some more opportunities.
