Green will not play against the Heat due to a sore left shoulder, opening up a spot in the starting lineup. Nick Smith Jr. is a potential replacement, but the second-year guard has not been productive enough to merit being streamed in most leagues.

Due to a sore left shoulder, Green is considered probable for Sunday’s game. Despite being a fixture in the starting lineup, Green has been ranked well outside the top 200 in nine-cat formats over the past two weeks. Fantasy managers should not feel obligated to roster him, regardless of league size.

The last five games for Leonard should scare the rest of the NBA. During that stretch, he has averaged 26.6 points, 7.4 rebounds, 3.6 assists, 2.6 steals and 2.8 three-pointers while shooting 60.2 percent from the floor. That has allowed him to provide top ten value in nine-cat leagues during that stretch. The Clippers have three more back-to-backs this season, though two of them are in April and one is during the final week of the regular season. There is no reason for him to play back-to-backs this close to the playoffs, but when he is on the floor, he will continue to shine.

Harden seems to have turned back the clock over the past few weeks, and he is producing like the player that won an MVP Award. He has had a strong year overall, but he has cleaned up the inefficiency recently, which has taken his game to another level. He has averaged 4.4 turnovers per game this season but has only turned it over five times over his last three games. On top of that, he has shot at least 50 percent from the floor in three of his last four games. This may not stick, but it has been a big reason for the Clippers winning eight of their last nine games.

Zubac added another double-double to his season total in another big win for the red-hot Clippers. They have won five in a row and eight of their last nine, and Zubac’s dominance has been a big reason for that. He has had the best season of his career, which includes career-highs for points, rebounds, assists and minutes per game. Tyronn Lue has finally handed the keys to the center position to Zubac instead of making him split minutes with another big, and it has resulted in success for both fantasy managers and the Clippers.

Bridges was able to play in both legs of Charlotte’s back-to-back after missing Tuesday’s game against Atlanta. He was better as a scorer on Friday than he was on Thursday, and he was still able to contribute some value in other categories. He only played 26 minutes because of the lopsided score, but it was encouraging that he was able to get to 20 points after two games in a row with fewer after a seven-game streak with at least 20 points. They’ll close out the week in Miami on Sunday.

With LaMelo Ball sitting out the second leg of Charlotte’s back-to-back, Simpson was called up from the G League and immediately slotted into the starting unit. He has started in his last three appearances, but this was also the first time that Simpson played in a game since February. Even if he is productive when he is given the opportunity, the lack of clarity in when he’ll be available to play makes him a headache to roster.

Garrett is on a 10-day contract and may have already played his last game with Charlotte, and Salaun hasn’t played since March 8. Charlotte will be sorely shorthanded in this one, so the Hornets’ available players will be forced to handle additional minutes.

Williams and Ball both played in Thursday’s win over the Knicks, so it’s no surprise that the pair will sit out the second leg of Charlotte’s back-to-back set. Jusuf Nurkic should slide into the starting five in place of Williams, while Ball’s vacated minutes will be picked up by some combination of Nick Smith Jr., DaQuan Jeffries and Seth Curry.

After really struggling in Charlotte’s blowout loss to Atlanta on Tuesday, Williams got back to providing dominant big man stats against New York. This was the sixth-straight game that he has played in, and he has recorded a double-double in five of them. Charlotte plays the second night of a back-to-back on Friday, which means that Williams is almost a guarantee to sit out. Moussa Diabate and Jusuf Nurkic will split the minutes at center against Oklahoma City, which isn’t an easy matchup for opposing bigs.

Bridges was given a rest night on Tuesday against Atlanta, but he was listed as probable with an illness for this game, so perhaps that was the issue on Tuesday. There is a chance that the illness played a role in Bridges’ poor shooting night, and it ended up being the second-straight subpar shooting night for him after an excellent stretch. Charlotte still has two more games this week, including the second night of a back-to-back on Friday.

Ball missed Tuesday’s game against Atlanta, but he was back against New York. He had some foul trouble that limited his minutes in this game, but he was still able to lead Charlotte in scoring and help them get a surprisingly big win over one of the top teams in the East. This was the first night of a back-to-back, and the Hornets also play on Sunday. If Ball is available for the remainder of the week, he’ll continue to produce elite value. However, there is a real chance that he sits out on Friday with his wrist ailment.

Garrett has played well on his 10-day contract, but there will be some extra minutes off the bench available for Wendell Moore Jr. and Seth Curry. The final game of Garrett’s contract will be on Friday, unless they opt to sign him to a second 10-day deal.

Diabate had to be helped off the court on Tuesday and wasn’t able to put any weight on his leg after injuring his knee on Tuesday. Two days later, he’ll be good to go. That means he’ll continue to split the center minutes with Jusuf Nurkic off the bench. Mark Williams should sit out the second night of the back-to-back on Friday, which makes Diabate’s availability interesting. Charlotte could have opted to stagger their availability, though this could mean that Diabate will play both legs of the back-to-back despite the injury.

Garrett, who agreed to a 10-day contract on March 12, is dealing with a lower back issue. He was solid in 24 minutes against the Hawks on Tuesday, but that was with Miles Bridges unavailable.

Diabate suffered what appeared to be a serious right leg injury during Tuesday’s loss to the Hawks.

Dunn was back in the Clippers’ lineup after missing Sunday’s win over the Hornets. Unfortunately for him, the former lottery pick could not celebrate his 31st birthday with a quality stat line. With the Clippers back to full strength, Dunn offers minimal fantasy value. Under those circumstances, he’ll be more important to the team than to fantasy managers.

Bogdanovic wasn’t celebrating a birthday like teammates Ivica Zubac and Kris Dunn on Tuesday, but he had one of his best games as a Clipper. The veteran wing did not miss, shooting 8-of-8 from the field. Bogdanovic has reached double figures in 10 of the 17 games he’s played since being traded to the Clippers, notching 20 or more on three occasions. While he remains rostered in 60 percent of Yahoo! leagues, Bogdanovic is ranked outside the top 150 in eight- and nine-cat formats since the All-Star break.

Harden struggled with his shot on Tuesday, going 5-of-18 from the field. However, a busy night at the foul line salvaged the point total, and he was also responsible for nine assists. The most impressive number may have been the zero turnovers, which is the second time he’s accomplished that feat this season. Despite averaging 4.3 turnovers per game since the All-Star break, Harden has provided top-20 value in nine-cat formats.

Zubac turned 28 on Tuesday and celebrated the occasion with one of the best games of his career. He recorded his third 20/20 game of the season, shooting 13-of-18 from the field. And since the All-Star break, Zubac has been a second-round player in nine-cat formats. Like Norman Powell, Big Zu has flourished for the Clippers after the team lost Paul George in free agency last summer. And fantasy managers have reaped the rewards.

Having scored 20 points or more in four straight and eight of his last nine appearances, Leonard was sensational on Tuesday. The 33 points matched his season-high, and he finished one blocked shot shy of a complete stat line. Since the All-Star break, Leonard has provided top-25 value in eight- and nine-cat formats. While the Clippers don’t have the best schedule for the next two weeks, they won’t play any back-to-backs, which is good for those who have Leonard rostered.

Curry moved into the starting lineup on Tuesday, as the Hornets were without Miles Bridges. The veteran guard had a good night shooting the ball, as he made over 50 percent of his attempts from the field and connected on four three-pointers. Curry is primarily a points and three-pointers option in category leagues, and nights like Tuesday have not been the norm for him this season. Fantasy managers can afford to leave Curry on the waiver wire.

Baugh was recalled from the G League to start for LaMelo Ball, who sat out Tuesday’s game with a right wrist injury. Baugh’s rebound and assist production was solid, and he’ll be worth streaming whenever Ball misses games. Given how long LaMelo has been dealing with the wrist injury, it would be unsurprising if the Hornets eventually shut him down. Charlotte hosts New York on Thursday, the first of three games it will play to close out Week 20.

Jeffries has started Charlotte’s last five games, reaching double figures on three occasions. While his fantasy value remains low, the opportunity to play starters’ minutes makes him worth a look, especially on nights like Tuesday. The Hornets were without LaMelo Ball and Miles Bridges, raising Jeffries’ fantasy ceiling. And Charlotte’s schedule for the rest of Week 20 is good, as they’ll play three games in the final four days.

Diabate injured his right leg during the fourth quarter of Tuesday’s game, as it was pinned under his body as the Hornets forward fell to the court.

Sunday’s game was the first for Powell since March 2, so he was placed under a minutes restriction. The Clippers guard played 13 minutes in the first half and 10 in the second, with Nicolas Batum (3/5/1/1 with one three-pointer in 15 minutes) replacing him in the lineup to begin the third quarter. Powell struggled with his shot, but some rust was expected, given the time missed. The Clippers play three games during Week 20, starting with the Cavaliers on Tuesday.

Zubac finished Sunday’s win two assists shy of a triple-double, which would have been the first of his career.

Sunday’s performance was good for Leonard and the Clippers, as he was productive and did not need to overexert himself in the 123-88 victory. Having played 36 minutes or more in his seven prior appearances, only logging 27 on Sunday was a positive development for a star who has struggled with lower-body injuries in recent seasons. A fourth-round player in eight- and nine-cat formats since the All-Star break, Leonard will start Week 20 with a game against the Cavaliers on Tuesday.

One of those two will head to the bench if Norman is available.

Zubac’s steak of 10 straight games with at least 10 rebounds came to an end Friday. The 27-year-old center only played 30 minutes as the Clippers blew out the Hawks 121-98. Zubac was only able to pull down six rebounds before the game was out of reach. Still, he was able to get 18 points on just nine shots. Zubac has been a big help to fantasy mangers this year as he’s provided top-50 value on the season.

Harden’s fantasy value in nine-category leagues this year has been weighed down by his turnovers. He had six turnovers Friday and has had at least five turnovers in three of his last four games.

Reaching double figures in rebounds for the tenth straight game, Zubac thoroughly outplayed Bam Adebayo on Wednesday. The Clippers center has been one of the major surprises in fantasy basketball this season, as he has been a top 50 player in nine-cat formats. Games against the Hawks and Hornets to end Week 19 are two more opportunities for Zubac to shine, and given how well he’s played, it’s a safe bet that fantasy managers will receive good value.
