Norman Powell DVOA, Advanced Stats, & Fantasy Rankings

Los Angeles Clippers guard Norman Powell (leg) will play on Sunday against Philly. He's been out for over a week because of a leg contusion. But the Clippers will get the Sixth Man of the Year frontrunner back versus the visiting Sixers. There's no mention of a minutes restriction for Powell, so he can be utilized with confidence in all fantasy formats. However, his return should mean less work for Amir Coffey and Brandon Boston Jr.

Los Angeles Clippers guard/forward Norman Powell (leg) will miss Friday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. Powell has missed the last two games, and his lower leg is still bothering him. With Powell out, the Clippers could turn to Amir Coffey, Bones Hyland, Brandon Boston, and Jordan Miller. Terance Mann (shoulder) will also be back in the lineup after missing one game due to a right shoulder strain.

Los Angeles Clippers guard/forward Norman Powell (leg) is listed as questionable for Friday's game versus the Portland Trail Blazers. Powell has missed the last two games, with his lower leg injury still impacting him. Positive signs feature Powell traveling with the team and taking part in shootaround. However, the Clippers can easily play it safe against a weaker team, especially since their only relevant success matters in the playoffs this season. Terance Mann, also getting the questionable tag, will see role players like Amir Coffey, Bones Hyland, P.J. Tucker, and Brandon Boston Jr. slated for more minutes if Powell misses another game.

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%).
