Norman Powell DVOA, Advanced Stats, & Fantasy Rankings

Los Angeles Clippers forward Norman Powell (knee) was added to the injury report as questionable due to knee soreness after not being listed on the team's initial report. He went off for 41 points in 46 minutes against the Jazz in Utah just before the break, but he's now dealing with knee soreness which could force him to miss Thursday's game against the Bucks. Powell is averaging an impressive 24.2 points in his 45 games this season, but if he's sidelined on Thursday, more work will be available for Bogdan Bogdanovic, Kris Dunn, and Ben Simmons from the Clippers' second unit that was overhauled at the trade deadline. Check back before tip-off for a status update on Powell, but if he sits out, his next chance to play would be Sunday in Indiana.

Los Angeles Clippers guard Norman Powell (hip) won't play on Sunday against Toronto. Powell is having the best season of his career, averaging 24.1 points, 3.6 rebounds, and 1.4 steals. But he'll sit out Sunday's contest because of hip soreness, although it's unknown if he'll remain sidelined on Tuesday versus the Los Angeles Lakers. With that in mind, Amir Coffey will move into the starting lineup, giving him at least value appeal for DFS managers. However, Powell's absence will likely mean even more production from James Harden, Kawhi Leonard, and Ivica Zubac.

Los Angeles Clippers forward Norman Powell (back) missed Wednesday's game against the Celtics but will be back in action on Thursday against the Wizards. Powell has been outstanding this season for the Clippers, breaking out with 23.7 points in 32.5 minutes per game in his 35 contests while also chipping in 3.4 rebounds, 2.2 assists, and 1.3 steals per contest. He gets a great matchup against the Wizards in his return, and the Clippers will be much closer to full strength after resting multiple regulars on Wednesday.
