Bogdanović will remain out for a sixth straight game. Nicolas Batum logged 28 minutes off the bench on Saturday and should continue to play a larger role. However, he was largely unproductive and isn’t worth streaming in with Bogdanović out.

While Darius Garland and Donovan Mitchell are good to go for Sunday’s matchup, the Cavaliers won’t have reserve Lonzo Ball (knee) available. Porter will be able to absorb the minutes that would have gone to Ball, but this is not a good spot to find reliable fantasy value. Leave him on the waiver wire.

Given his injury history since joining the Clippers, Leonard’s playing both games of a back-to-back is encouraging. After logging 29 minutes in Friday’s loss to the Grizzlies, he matched that number on Saturday and recorded another 30-point game. The Clippers’ four-game Week 7 concludes with another back-to-back, so fantasy managers won’t have to wait long to see if Leonard’s days of sitting out back-to-backs have come to an end (for now).

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. He stayed in the game, but with the Clippers visiting Miami on Monday, we’ll have to see whether the 7-footer’s name appears on the injury report.

Harden recorded his second double-double in as many nights on Saturday, but the efficiency was missing. In addition to the poor shooting from the field, The Beard was responsible for seven of the Clippers’ 18 turnovers. Harden has only been a top-75 player over the last week, and the average of five turnovers per game has a lot to do with that. That said, fantasy managers know what they’re getting into when they roster Harden. The Clippers play four games in Week 7.

Still rostered in 77 percent of Yahoo! leagues, Collins has not offered much fantasy value this season. That changed on Saturday, as the veteran forward tallied season-highs in points and blocked shots. Getting to start does raise Collins’ ceiling, but he hasn’t reached it very often. He has been a top-100 player in nine-cat formats over the past week; fantasy managers will hope that trend continues. The Clippers hit the road for four games in Week 7, starting with the Heat on Monday.

Porter has missed Cleveland’s last three games with a strained left hamstring. With Lonzo Ball (knee) unavailable, the Cavaliers will need Porter to step into the backup point guard role. However, that isn’t a spot for good fantasy value, as Darius Garland is available to start.

Nance has been a valuable reserve for the Cavaliers recently, and he was even able to start one game. In his absence, Thomas Bryant should fill out the backup center minutes behind Evan Mobley, which isn’t a large enough role for him to receive a significant value boost.

Sunday’s game is the first of two in as many nights for the Cavaliers, so Lonzo missing one of them is unsurprising. If available, Craig Porter Jr. will have the opportunity to pick up a few additional minutes off the bench. Still, that won’t be enough to affect fantasy basketball.

Bogdanović’s hip injury will keep him out of a fifth consecutive game. While the absence does not affect fantasy basketball, it does cause an issue for a Clippers rotation that is without Bradley Beal for the rest of the season. Nicolas Batum and Kobe Sanders have seen their minutes increase recently, but neither is productive enough to have an impact in fantasy basketball.

Zubac’s streak of double-digit scoring efforts ended at 11 on Friday, as he struggled to get clean looks with Memphis’ Zach Edey on the floor. However, he did hit double figures in rebounds for the seventh time in his last eight games. Just as important has been the playing time, with Zubac averaging 34.0 minutes per game over the last two weeks. If that continues, his chances of making good on the preseason Yahoo! ADP (36) will improve.

Harden recorded his seventh double-double of the season on Friday, but the field-goal percentage will leave some fantasy managers disappointed. However, the Clippers guard has still been a top-10 player over the past two weeks in eight- and nine-cat formats. Given Harden’s overall production, the occasional efficiency issues aren’t a significant concern for most fantasy managers.

Leonard had his best game of the season on Friday, but he did not get much help, especially after halftime. While he scored 21 points on 8-of-12 shooting in the second half, Kawhi’s teammates combined for 23 points on 8-of-30 shooting. Leonard only played 29 minutes on Friday, a reminder that he doesn’t need to play starters’ minutes to have a significant impact on fantasy basketball. Leonard said after the loss that he will play against the Mavericks on Saturday, but consider him to be questionable anyway.

Garland was back in the lineup after sitting out the second leg of Cleveland’s back-to-back on Monday. He set a new season high for minutes (33) and assists, which led to his first double-double of the season. Garland has only played six games this year, which isn’t a lot of time to get on track. As he logs more minutes, he’ll continue to see his production improve.

Mitchell bounced back after being held to just 17 points against Toronto on Monday. The extra rest may have helped him surpass 40 points for the second time this year, but it wasn’t enough for Cleveland to get the win. He did his best by scoring 16 points in the final frame, but they still lost a second straight game. Next up is a matchup with the Celtics on Sunday to wrap up this week. That will be a lone home game for Cleveland after two straight on the road, which may be needed after consecutive losses.

It wasn’t enough to get the win, but Mobley was able to turn in one of his best statistical performances of the season, which included new season highs for both rebounds and assists. The return of Jarrett Allen (finger) after three straight absences didn’t prevent Mobley from having a big night. A drop in shooting percentages has been the main culprit behind Mobley’s drop in nine-cat value, but performances like this one will make up for inefficient shooting.

The Cavaliers will start their preferred five on Friday, with Garland, Hunter and Allen back in the fold. Their returns push Lonzo Ball, Jaylon Tyson and Larry Nance Jr. to the bench, although Allen’s minutes may be restricted due to the amount of time he’s missed.

After a three-game absence, Allen has been cleared to return to the Cavaliers’ lineup.

However, Tyson is worth holding onto in deeper leagues until Max Strus is healthy enough to make his season debut.

Bogdanović will miss a fourth straight game with a left hip contusion. While his absence does not affect fantasy basketball, it does leave the Clippers with one less option on the wing. Kobe Sanders played 17 minutes off the bench in Tuesday’s loss to the Lakers, and he may take on a similar workload on Friday. There’s no need to roster him in redraft leagues.

Wade did not play in Monday’s loss to the Raptors, which freed up rotation minutes for Nae’Qwan Tomlin and Thomas Bryant. However, those two also benefitted from the absence of Jarrett Allen, and he’s probable to play on Friday. There isn’t much to gain from streaming Tomlin or Bryant.

Porter has missed Cleveland’s last two games with a strained left hamstring.

After playing 26 minutes in his first game back from foot and ankle injuries that sidelined him for nearly three weeks, Leonard’s playing time received a slight bump on Tuesday. He finished a blocked shot shy of a complete stat line and is providing top-10 value in nine-cat formats. Production has not been Leonard’s issue, but availability has. With the Clippers ending Week 6 with a Friday/Saturday back-to-back, he’ll likely be on the sideline for one of those two games.

Offensively, Tuesday’s performance was Collins’s best since moving into the starting lineup on November 10. The 18 points were one shy of his season-high, and he ended a nasty streak in the assist category. His assist against the Lakers was the first for Collins since moving into the starting lineup, a stunning lack of production, even if he isn’t a point guard. Collins is still rostered in 77 percent of Yahoo! leagues, which is more about his reputation entering the season than his production. Hopefully, Tuesday’s performance will be the catalyst the veteran forward needs.

As expected, Harden once again led the way offensively for the Clippers. While all five starters finished in double figures, there were no other 20-point scorers as the Clippers fell to 5-13. The only negative for Harden right now is the turnover category. He recorded five turnovers on Tuesday and is averaging 3.8 per game on the season. However, despite that high number, he’s still providing first-round value in 12-team formats. The Clippers end Week 6 with a Friday/Saturday back-to-back.

Dunn’s night ended prematurely after he picked up two technical fouls following an altercation. He received his first for pushing the basketball into Luka Dončić’s chest, and a second for a mix-up with Jaxson Hayes.

Tyson logged his eighth double-digit scoring performance of the season on Monday against the Raptors. Efficient shooting led to production, and his efforts on the glass nearly earned him his first double-double of the 2025-26 campaign. Tyson will likely make his way back to the bench once the Cavaliers return to full health. But in the meantime, he’s a nice streaming option on nights when he steps into the starting lineup.

Mobley was one of four Cavaliers players to score in double figures on Monday, though his final line wasn’t his standard. The reigning Defensive Player of the Year finished the night with one stock and tied his third-lowest scoring total of the season. Mobley’s averages thus far have been pretty similar to his career-best 2024-25 season. He hasn’t taken a significant leap, but has been steady. Fantasy managers may be hoping for more moving forward.

Mitchell failed to sustain the hot hand from his 37-point outing against the Clippers on Sunday. On the second night of a back-to-back, the superstar scoring struggled for much of Monday’s contest — he only tallied seven points through three quarters before chipping in 10 more in the fourth quarter. Inefficiency both inside and outside the arc hurt his production, and low free-throw output didn’t do much to make up for the off-shooting night. However, Mitchell did produce a game-high in assists and nearly notched the double-double. He’ll have a few days off before taking the court on Friday against the Hawks.

After a modest showing in Saturday’s win over the Hornets, Zubac recorded one of his best stat lines of the season in Cleveland. He finished two rebounds shy of a 30/20 game while posting excellent percentages from the field and the foul line. Zubac did not record any defensive stats, but he began Sunday averaging 0.5 steals and 0.9 blocks per game, so that wasn’t too surprising. Averaging 31.5 minutes per game, Zubac is closing in on top-50 value in nine-cat formats after a relatively slow start to the season.

Sunday’s game was the first for Leonard since November 3, so no one was surprised that his minutes were limited. There was some concern when he went back to the locker room less than two minutes into the game, but Leonard was back on the court shortly thereafter and logged 27 minutes. If he’s hitting the high-20s in minutes despite the restriction, that’s good news for those who have Leonard rostered. The Clippers play three games during Week 6, but they have a Friday/Saturday back-to-back, so Kawhi may be limited to two appearances.

Harden was magnificent as he took apart the Hornets offensively. The 36-year-old point guard made history with his 55-point effort, setting the Clippers’ franchise record. It was also Harden’s 25th 50-point game of his career, tying him with Kobe Bryant and trialing only Wilt Chamberlain and Michael Jordan.

After Paul officially retires, the only question will be when, not if, he’s elected to the basketball hall of fame.

Zubac only contributed in the points and rebounds categories, but fantasy managers will undoubtedly take the production. He’s up to nine double-doubles on the season, with Thursday’s 19 boards being a season-high. Due to the Clippers’ many injuries, Zubac and James Harden have been the team’s only reliable options for fantasy managers. The Clippers end Week 5 with a Saturday/Sunday back-to-back against the Hornets and Cavaliers, with the latter matchup setting up to be a challenging one for Zubac due to Cleveland’s tandem of Evan Mobley and Jarrett Allen.
