Williams has missed the last three games with a calf contusion, but he is expected to return to take on Los Angeles. Williams’ absence opened the door for Jalen Wilson to take on a larger role, so he should lose out on minutes with Williams likely back.

This will be a second straight game that Harden will be away from the team for. Kobe Sanders replaced him in the starting lineup and scored 12 points in 31 minutes. He should remain a starter, and he should be in for another decent night, though managers shouldn’t expect much more from him.

This was just Miller’s third game all season with 20 points, but there should be more to come for the 26-year-old shooting guard. His complete skillset was on display as Miller scored in a variety of ways, making three three-points as well as scoring from inside the paint. Ideally, he could be in line for more playing time over the rest of the season. The Clippers have four games coming up in Week 16, so Miller may be worth a look in deeper formats.

Zubac became the only player in the NBA to have 20 rebounds in a game and not miss from the field since 2020. The 28-year-old center completely dominated the boards as the Clippers out-rebounded the Suns 63-35. His scoring hasn’t lived up to his preseason ADP, though his rebounding has been tremendous. Zubac has provided 14th-round per game value over the last two weeks. The Clippers have four games in Week 16, starting with a matchup against the 76ers on Monday.

Leonard, who was snubbed for the All-Star team despite the game taking place in his home arena, put on a show for the fans in Phoenix on Sunday. The 34-year-old small forward led the Clippers, who were down James Harden (personal), scoring nearly a point per his 30 minutes as Los Angeles won 117-93. He’s provided third-round per game value over the last two weeks. Leonard and the Clippers have four games in Week 16, starting with a matchup against the 76ers on Monday.

Wolf and the Nets had an evening to forget Sunday in Detroit. The 21-year-old power forward had six points on nine attempts as the Pistons’ blew out the Nets by 53, the franchise’s largest ever margin of victory. Unfortunately, the Nets are no stranger to games like this as they fell to the Knicks by 54 last month. They’ll look to turn the page in Week 16 with three games, the first of which is Tuesday against the Lakers at home.

Harden will not be available for Sunday’s game for personal reasons. His absence leaves a massive hole in the Clippers’ lineup, especially given the team’s lack of point guards.

Thomas returned after sitting out Thursday’s loss to the Nuggets with a hamstring injury. The 24-year-old shooting guard had 21 points in 24 minutes off the bench. Thomas struggled from behind the three-point line, going 1-of-6. The Nets are content to keep him under 25 minutes played, which limits his overall fantasy value and eliminates his ceiling.

Dëmin had arguable his best game as a professional Friday against the Jazz. The 19-year-old shooting guard made NBA history, setting the rookie record for most consecutive games with at least one made three-pointer at 34. The eighth overall pick in last year’s draft, Dëmin had six threes on the night on his way to 25 points and also 10 rebounds. The Nets close out the week against the best team in the East in Detroit on Sunday.

Collins’s first season with the Clippers started off slow, but he has been more productive over the past month. This was an efficient, well-rounded performance for him, which is what has made him effective in fantasy basketball as of late. The numbers don’t pop off the page, but he is able to contribute a little bit of everything without turning the ball over or missing many shots. He should remain a strong option for the rest of the season, especially now that the Clippers are playing much better as a team.

Harden led the Clippers in scoring and nearly recorded a second straight double-double, which he hasn’t done since November. However, he was able to have an efficient night as a scorer. In January, Harden has only shot better tan 40 percent in four games, including this one. It wasn’t enough to get a win, but it was a productive night for him, and he’ll look to keep that going in Phoenix on Sunday.

He hasn’t scored fewer than 20 points in a game since he scored 19 in 28 minutes in a November matchup with the Lakers. Leonard will continue to be a priority on offense, and he’ll look to keep his streak going in Phoenix on Sunday.

With Egor Dëmin unavailable, the Nets relied on fellow rookies Traoré and Ben Saraf to run the show in Denver. Traoré logged 30 minutes and had a few good moments, but there’s still a lot of work to be done. The same can be said for Saraf, who went scoreless with two rebounds, three assists and one blocked shot in 18 minutes. As long as Dëmin is playing rotation minutes, there isn’t much to gain from rostering Traoré or Saraf in redraft leagues.

Playing in Denver for the first time since being traded to Brooklyn during the offseason, Porter put on a show on Thursday.

Porter is up to 13 30-point games this season; he totaled ten in his final three seasons in Denver. While the move has not brought about team success, it has allowed Porter to showcase the full scope of his offensive game. And that’s been great for fantasy managers.

Dunn’s fantasy impact this season, and for the last few seasons, has been strictly wrapped up in steals. That held true in this game as he matched his season high for swipes, but he was also able to have a strong night as a scorer. He isn’t a reliable option in standard leagues, but in deeper leagues that are utilizing Dunn as a category specialist, this was a pleasant surprise. Managers shouldn’t expect him to keep this up moving forward, even if it was a solid night.

This was the fourth straight game and the eighth time in his last nine that he shot below 40 percent from the floor.

While Miller may not be on the radar for most fantasy managers, his consistent production has earned him a spot in the rotation. The third-year wing has reached double figures in seven straight and eight of his last nine appearances, the most productive stretch of his career to date. Rostered in 10 percent of Yahoo! leagues, Miller has been a top-75 player in eight- and nine-cat formats over the past two weeks.

More problematic than the 3-of-8 shooting from the field were the five turnovers, as The Beard has been responsible for 18 over his last three games.

Leonard is still on a minutes restriction, and he played the first few minutes of the fourth quarter to hit his threshold before checking out for the night. The good news for fantasy managers is that the Clippers’ forward provided good value while on the court, and that’s usually the case for Leonard, regardless of any restrictions he may be under. The Clippers play three games in Week 15, and a Sunday/Monday back-to-back caps it. As a result, this could be a two-game week for Leonard, depending on how his playing time is managed.
