Miller has missed three straight games for the Clippers, but the 2023 second-round pick could be available to take on the Rockets on Thursday. His official status will be provided on the official injury report. Miller has been limited by multiple injuries this season, and he hasn’t been able to play a large role when he’s healthy.

Shams notes that, “Hawks star Trae Young, who sustained a sprained MCL on Oct. 29, is optimistic about returning to action this month. The Hawks have gone 12-8 without Young in the lineup, and they believe his fit with a rising core in Jalen Johnson, Dyson Daniels, Nickeil Alexander-Walker, Zaccharie Risacher and Onyeka Okongwu will elevate the team.” It’s an encouraging update, but there is still no clear timeline for Young’s return. Fantasy managers should continue monitoring his status.

Toppin injured his right shoulder in late November while playing for the Hawks’ G League affiliate. Diagnosed with a torn labrum, he underwent surgery on Monday and will not play again this season. While Toppin’s absence does not affect the Hawks’ rotation, he’ll miss out on what could have been valuable in-game reps in College Park.

Zubac started another double-double streak on Saturday after seeing his previous run of three straight end on Friday. Over the past two weeks, he has provided sixth-round value in eight-cat formats, which aligns with his season-long production. Zubac and the Clippers play once in Week 8, as they visit the Rockets on Thursday.

Leonard has scored at least 20 points in six straight and seven of the eight games he’s played since returning from ankle and foot injuries. He has provided second-round value in eight-cat formats since returning, and he has not missed a game. While the Clippers only playing once during Week 8 isn’t great for Leonard managers from a production standpoint, the added time off may benefit him once the schedule returns to “normal” after the NBA Cup.

Harden finished Saturday’s defeat with a robust stat line, and he made some personal history. The Clippers guard moved into tenth on the NBA’s all-time scoring list, passing Carmelo Anthony. Over the past two weeks, Harden has provided top-25 value in eight-cat formats, one round behind his season-long value. Turnovers remain an issue for the veteran guard, but most fantasy managers understand what they’re getting into at this point in Harden’s career.

Johnson’s metamorphosis into one of the league’s most impactful all-around contributors continued in this one, as he recorded his second straight triple-double and his fourth in his last 12 games. The 24-year-old has operated as Atlanta’s primary offensive catalyst all season, delivering bona fide first-round fantasy value. He’s averaging a ridiculous 26.4 points, 12.0 rebounds, 10.3 assists, 1.3 steals and 0.4 blocks over his last seven contests. Are you not entertained? The Hawks are off until Friday when they face the Pistons before closing out a brief two-game week with a home tilt against the 76ers.

Okongwu took advantage of Washington’s injury-depleted frontcourt and historically porous defense, and the absence of fellow big Kristaps Porziņģis on the second night of a back-to-back, to knock down 10-of-17 shots and eclipse the 20-point plateau for the eighth time this season. He’s delivered fifth-round value for fantasy managers this season, averaging 16 points, 7.4 rebounds, three assists, 0.9 steals and 1.1 blocks through 24 contests.

Alexander-Walker fell just shy of reaching the 20-point mark for the sixth consecutive game as he knocked down just 3-of-10 from long range. The 27-year-old guard has stepped up in a big way from an offensive standpoint while Trae Young remains sidelined with an MCL sprain in his knee.

Bogdanović has not appeared in a game since November 20. While his return gives the Clippers added depth on the wing, don’t expect to see the veteran log heavy minutes. However, Bogdanović being available likely means fewer minutes for rookie Kobe Sanders, but this won’t affect fantasy basketball.

Bogdanović appears set to return from an eight-game absence due to a hip injury. The 33-year-old shooting guard is listed as probable for Saturday’s game against the Timberwolves. Bogdanović could be on a minutes restriction and also cut into Kobe Sanders and Nicolas Batum’s minutes.

Porzingis will miss Saturday’s game for conditioning reasons. The 30-year-old power forward missed Friday’s game against the Nuggets with an illness and has missed the last five games. Onyeka Okongwu will start, but he’s already rostered in most fantasy leagues.

Zubac’s production on Friday was minimal compared to what he has shown over the past couple of seasons. The veteran center didn’t find many scoring opportunities on Friday, and was surprisingly unimpactful on the glass in his 35 minutes of game action. As a result, his streak of double-doubles ended at three games, and he failed to secure double-digit rebounds for the first time since November 22 against the Hornets. He’ll have a chance to bounce back quickly on the second night of a back-to-back against the Timberwolves on Saturday.

Harden’s numbers were down on Friday across the board, as he put forth one of his least productive outings of the season. He finished with fewer than 20 points for just the 15th time this season, which didn’t appear would be the case after scoring 13 first-quarter points. He was also unproductive on the glass and didn’t provide his usual level of impact as a passer. All in all, it was an unspectacular performance from the former league MVP, relative to what type of numbers he’s usually putting up. Fantasy managers will hope Harden can bounce back against the Timberwolves on Saturday.

Leonard led the Clippers in scoring on Friday, but did so without scoring efficiently from beyond the arc. He shot 2-of-9 from deep and struggled with his shooting in the fourth quarter as the Grizzlies took control and eventually won the game. From a fantasy basketball standpoint, Leonard was solid — he did well on the glass and tallied more assists than his season’s average while chipping in a couple of stocks. Most importantly, the two-time Finals MVP has played 35 minutes in consecutive games. He appears to be off his minutes restriction, which could potentially lead to greater fantasy production going forward.

Following a four-game absence due to an illness, Porzingis was back in the rotation for this game. He came off the bench for the first time this season and only the second time in his career, which allowed Onyeka Okongwu to remain a starter. That likely isn’t a permanent change, since Porzingis was on a minutes restriction, but he thrived during his 20 minutes on the floor. This was the first of a back-to-back, and Porziņģis hasn’t played in both legs of a back-to-back this year.

Johnson became the first player in Hawks history to record a triple-double in a single half. He wasn’t quite as productive in the second half, but he was still able to set a new career high for assists and match his career high for rebounds. Johnson missed Wednesday’s game due to right calf tightness, and he was questionable to play in this one. It didn’t seem to bother him, but there is certainly a chance he is back on the injury report ahead of Saturday’s game against the Wizards since it is the second of a back-to-back.

This was the fifth straight game that NAW was able to score at least 20 points, and four of his nine career 30-point games have come over the last 15 days. It has been a spectacular first year in Atlanta for NAW, and he’ll continue to shine as a starter until Trae Young (knee) returns. His value will take a hit after that, but he should still be productive enough to be worth rostering in standard leagues.

Porziņģis will be back after a four-game absence, and he will likely return to his spot in the starting lineup. That would typically push Onyeka Okongwu to the bench, but with Porziņģis on a minutes restriction, Okongwu will continue to start. This is the first night of a back-to-back, so Porziņģis will likely sit that one out.

Miller injured his back during Monday’s loss to the Heat and did not see action in Wednesday’s win over the Hawks.

Haynes’ initial report said the Clippers were “severing ties” with Paul, and the team released a statement confirming that. Paul also posted on Instagram at 2:40 a.m. in Atlanta, where the Clippers are playing on Wednesday, that he is being sent home. Paul announced previously that this would be his final season, so this could give him an opportunity to join a contending team to close out his career. That was likely the idea with the Clippers, along with Paul enjoying some of the best seasons of his career with them, but the team has started off 5-16. CP3 has played a small reserve role this year, so his departure may open up a few minutes for Kris Dunn and Cam Christie, but it won’t significantly alter the rotation.

After failing to hit double figures in scoring for the first time since November 4 in Friday’s loss to the Grizzlies, Zubac began a new streak on Saturday. The double-double was his 12th of the season, and the playing time remains high. Zubac has played at least 32 minutes in four straight and nine of his last ten games. The concern after Saturday’s game was the collision with Dallas’ Dwight Powell, which caused Zubac to hit the back of his head on the court.

NAW has been an incredible fill-in for Trae Young (knee) this season, and he showed why once again in this game. This was his eighth game this season with at least 20 points, and he has more than doubled his scoring average from last season. In previous seasons, NAW had been more of a defensive specialist, but he has been getting it done on both ends of the floor this year. Even when Young returns, NAW should still maintain standard-league value.
