Making the first start of his career, Miller was able to turn in a well-rounded line. He made up for a rough shooting night by getting to the line, and he was able to extend his double-digit scoring streak to three games. Miller has been a solid rotation piece for the Clippers over the past two months, and while that hasn’t led to much fantasy production, he has been able to provide them with some depth. He’ll likely return to the bench for their next game.

With both Kawhi Leonard (ankle) and Darius Garland (toe) sidelined, Jones stepped up on offense to lead the Clippers in scoring, matching his season high for points. Jones has been productive for fantasy managers lately, though that has mostly been tied to his knack for getting defensive stats. This was a fun scoring outing, but it is unlikely he scores at this rate when Leonard and Garland are healthy.

Bogdanović hasn’t been part of the Clippers’ rotation since December, but with both Kawhi Leonard and Darius Garland out, they turned to him for some offense off the bench. It wasn’t enough to get the win, but he delivered his second-highest scoring outing of the season. This was cool to see from Bogdanović, but there’s no need to add him off the waiver wire.

While his fantasy value recently has not been on par with that of Josh Giddey or Matas Buzelis, Jones has been a solid option. Over the past two weeks, the Bulls’ guard has been an eighth-round player in eight-cat formats. Rostered in 28 percent of Yahoo! leagues, Jones is worth a look in some 12-team leagues, especially for managers seeking backcourt help.

Buzelis’ production in categories other than points was what stood out on Thursday. He’s accounted for at least two steals and two blocks in three of his last five appearances, with Thursday’s being the best of the bunch. As long as the Bulls insert him into the starting lineup, Buzelis will have good fantasy value moving forward. Over the past two weeks, he has been a second-round player in eight-cat formats.

With no Jalen Smith, Richards was in the Bulls’ starting lineup for the second time in four games. He’s recorded at least six rebounds in four straight and eight of his last nine appearances. Richards has not been productive enough to merit rostering in most leagues, but the rebounding value makes him worthy of a look on nights when Smith is unavailable.

While he failed to reach double figures in points, Giddey has dished out at least 10 assists in five of his last six appearances. The Bulls’ guard has provided first-round value in eight-cat formats over the past two weeks. As long as Giddey is available, fantasy managers should receive excellent value, especially in the assist category.

Collin Sexton’s return from a four-game absence on Wednesday didn’t seem to impact Dillingham’s production. The young point guard secured a fourth consecutive double-digit scoring performance while making solid contributions as a passer, again. Dillingham has played north of 20 minutes per game pretty consistently of late. And given his production, he could become an interesting streaming option should any of the main guards ahead of him in the rotation miss time.

Buzelis didn’t shoot the ball well on Wednesday, which didn’t stop him from finishing as Chicago’s leading scorer on the night. Three-point shooting factored heavily into his near-20-point performance, and he’s now tallied at least three triples in four of the last five games. Buzelis also led the Bulls in rebounding before falling a few boards short of a double-double. Fantasy managers shouldn’t expect his involvement or production to lessen down the stretch of the season; he’ll be a strong play during the fantasy playoffs.

Giddey was one of several Bulls players who couldn’t get on track on Wednesday. He tied a season-low in assists and was held to single digits in points for just the seventh time this season. There haven’t been many subpar performances from Giddey this season, so fantasy managers shouldn’t feel too worried about the point guard’s ability to bounce back quickly. He’ll have a chance to redeem himself Thursday against the Cavaliers.

On the one hand, Garland did well on Wednesday to not commit a turnover in his 29 minutes, after recording a season-high eight giveaways in the Clippers’ recent loss to the Spurs. Yet, the versatile point guard was held to his fewest points since March 4, while finishing without multiple made three-pointers for the first time as a Clipper. L.A. has lost three straight games and will rely on Garland’s production to help get back in the win column on Thursday.

Collins landed solid production in his 24 minutes of game action. In the loss, efficient shooting inside the arc nearly led to his first 20-point game of March. The veteran forward left his mark on the glass, as well, before subbing out in what was arguably his best statistical performance since returning from a shoulder injury on March 14. He’ll have a chance to one-up himself in Thursday’s rematch against New Orleans.

More than half of Leonard’s points came in the opening quarter of Wednesday’s contest, when he scored 12 points on 4-of-5 shooting. However, his activity and production slowed the rest of the way, as he was only able to get up seven more field-goal attempts. Still, the two-time Finals MVP was efficient enough on the night to earn his 46th 20-point game in a row. He nearly tallied a double-double along the way despite logging just 29 minutes. He could extend his scoring streak to 47 games as early as Thursday in the back-to-back against the Pelicans.

Leonard is back in the lineup after sitting out Monday’s loss to the Spurs. However, it will be Kris Dunn who heads to the bench, with Collins remaining in the starting five. While valuable as a defender, Dunn’s limited offensive output has made him a non-factor in most fantasy formats.

Mathurin came off the bench on Monday and concluded as one of the Clippers’ highest scorers on the evening. He was somewhat inefficient from the floor, got to the line often, and struggled from beyond the arc, things that have been consistent during his brief tenure as a Clipper. Still, he provides the team with real scoring upside and has continued to log heavy minutes for head coach Ty Lue. Given his workload, he’s got nightly potential to put up relevant performances as far as fantasy basketball is concerned.

Miller provided a huge spark off the bench for the Clippers on Monday, reaching the 20-point mark for the fifth time this season while also tying a team-high in rebounds. Miller went without a turnover in his 26 minutes of game action and added a few assists for good measure. He’s enjoyed a breakout season and, although he isn’t yet a reliable fantasy player, is a potential high-risk, high-reward streaming option.

Garland was likely tasked with doing even more on offense against the Spurs with Kawhi Leonard sidelined (ankle), and he mostly delivered. The former NBA All-Star led the Clippers in scoring, albeit on unspectacular shooting efficiency, and earned his fifth double-double of the season thanks to some strong facilitating. The ball distribution was nearly cancelled out by a season-high eight turnovers. Nonetheless, Garland has steadily made strides as he becomes more comfortable with his new team. He should be able to finish the fantasy season strongly.

While his fantasy value since the All-Star break has been nowhere near that of teammate Josh Giddey, Jones is capable of putting up solid numbers when allowed to start. He played 28 minutes on Monday, shooting 6-of-7 from inside the arc while recording solid numbers in the other pertinent fantasy categories. Jones has played at least 28 minutes in each of his last six appearances, making him a worthwhile pickup in deep leagues.

Counting Monday, Giddey has recorded triple-doubles in four of his last five games. Given the production and the Bulls’ three wins in their last six games, there may be some concern that Giddey’s playing time will decrease during the fantasy playoff weeks. Until that happens, fantasy managers need to continue to roll with Giddey. He has been close to a first-round player in eight-cat formats since the All-Star break.

While a large segment of the Bulls fanbase may prefer the team lose games and improve their draft lottery odds, Buzelis’ progression has been a positive development. Since the All-Star break, the second-year forward has provided third-round value in eight-cat formats. The one concern for fantasy managers rostering Buzelis is the possibility of a shutdown, especially if the Bulls (3-3 in their last six games) continue to pick up wins at a higher rate than they have for most of this season.

While the Bulls went 1-3 on their west coast road trip, a positive for the franchise was Buzelis’ play.

Giddey’s triple-double on Friday was the 29th of his NBA career, moving him into the top-20 on the all-time list. After recording six turnovers in Thursday’s loss to the Lakers, the Bulls’ guard was responsible for just two on Friday. Since the All-Star break, Giddey has been close to a first-round player in eight-cat formats. The concern for fantasy managers at this point is back-to-backs, with the Bulls having another during Week 21. A three-game week could become two for Giddey, which would be unfortunate.
