This will now be the ninth game in a row that Leonard has missed with his multiple foot injuries. The Clippers are just 1-7 over the first eight games without him, and would certainly love to have him back on the court, especially with Bradley Beal (hip) and Derrick Jones Jr. (knee) also out. Nicolas Batum and Kobe Sanders will continue to see larger roles in his absence.

Watson came out of nowhere to have a tremendous game against the Pelicans on Wednesday. The 23-year-old shooting guard made five three-pointers after only even attempting six threes in his previous four games. Watson certainly has an opportunity to put up better numbers with Christian Braun (ankle) sidelined and now he has momentum coming off a 32-point game.

Jokić started the week with a 38/18/13 line against the Bulls in a loss on Monday and picked up where he left off with a 28/11/12 line in the win over the Pelicans on Wednesday. The 30-year-old center’s triple-double was his third in a row and ninth of the season. Jokić remains on top of the fantasy basketball world. His next chance for another massive stat line will come Friday against the Rockets.

The Nuggets won’t have Aaron Gordon for Wednesday’s game, opening up a spot in the starting lineup. He’ll be replaced by Nnaji, a surprising move since he hasn’t played many rotation minutes this season. He should not be streamed in fantasy leagues, as Bruce Brown and Tim Hardaway Jr. will likely be more valuable despite coming off the bench.

Gordon wasn’t on the initial injury report, but there is a chance he is sidelined against New Orleans. This isn’t part of a back-to-back, but Denver does have one on Friday and Saturday, so don’t be surprised if Gordon is sidelined for one of those. Peyton Watson is already starting with Christian Braun (ankle) out, so Bruce Brown or Tim Hardaway Jr. would likely fill in for Gordon.

Strawther’s continued absence does not impact fantasy basketball, especially with Cameron Johnson being available.

Having entered Monday shooting 37.2 percent from the field and 21.1 percent from three, Johnson needed a good night in the worst way. Against the Bulls, he shot 5-of-7 from beyond the arc and finished with season-highs in points and three-pointers. This was the first game in which Johnson made at least three three-pointers in a game, and his previous high point total was 15. One game does not make Johnson a player worth rostering in 12-team leagues again, but it’s a step in the right direction.

One game removed from recording his first double-double of the season, Gordon notched a second on Monday. The negative for fantasy managers is that he did not record any assists, steals or blocked shots, the first time Gordon’s tossed up a bagel in all three categories in the same game this season. Thanks to excellent production in points, rebounds and three-pointers with high percentages, AG is providing top-50 value in nine-cat formats. However, the margin for error is slim due to the lackluster assists and defensive stats.

For the first time this season, Murray recorded a points/rebounds double-double, with the other two being of the points/assists variety. The 34 points were the most the Nuggets guard has scored in a game since an October 27 win over the Timberwolves in which he tallied 43. Murray continues to exceed his Yahoo! ADP, ranking within the top-25 in nine-cat formats. It would be unsurprising if he had another big game on Wednesday when the Nuggets visit the reeling Pelicans.

Jokić had a chance to send Monday’s game to overtime, but his long three-point attempt fell short of the rim as time expired. However, fantasy managers aren’t concerned about the game’s outcome. Jokić recorded his second straight triple-double and eighth of the season. Whether it’s eight- or nine-cat formats, the Nuggets center remains the most valuable player in fantasy basketball. And with the Nuggets visiting New Orleans on Wednesday, Jokić could be in for another huge stat line.

Zubac’s final stat line was modest, but the 7-footer did record his eighth double-double of the season on Monday. Six have been tallied over the last seven games, and just as crucial for fantasy managers is the playing time. During this seven-game stretch, Zubac has played an average of 34 minutes, even higher than his career-best mark of 32.8 last season. Brook Lopez, who was brought in to provide legitimate value as the backup center, hasn’t answered the call. On Monday, he played 14 minutes and finished with six points, one rebound and one three-pointer. Until that changes, Zubac will continue to clear 30 minutes, if not approach 35.

Harden had two opportunities to win the game in the final seconds, but both three-point attempts missed the mark. That may have been an appropriate conclusion to what was an inefficient and frustrating night for “The Beard.” Harden shot 2-of-12 from three and wasn’t much better inside the arc, shooting 28 percent overall. A perfect night at the foul line boosted the final point total, but he’s been asked to shoulder a heavy workload due to the Clippers’ injuries. Fantasy managers who have Harden rostered have to hope that he doesn’t get worn down.

Sanders made his first professional start on Monday and delivered solid offensive production. He shot just under 50 percent from the field and notched season-highs in points and three-pointers. While the production outside of those categories was lackluster, Sanders logged 30 minutes. With Cam Christie (two points and one blocked shot) playing 12 minutes and Kobe Brown picking up a DNP-CD, that may bode well for Sanders in the short term. He still isn’t worth adding in most leagues, but place the rookie on your watchlists.

Johnson is back after a one-game absence, and he will be in the starting lineup. Tim Hardaway Jr. will head to the bench, where he offers a lower fantasy ceiling. Johnson has struggled to begin his time in Denver and is no longer a must-roster player in 12-team leagues.

No surprise here as Jokić is once again good to go despite dealing with a wrist injury. The 30-year-old center is coming off a triple-double in Saturday’s win over the Timberwolves. Jokić has a great matchup Monday against the Bulls, which is the second game of a back-to-back for Chicago.

Bogdanović is dealing with a hip injury, but it won’t keep him out for the second night of a back-to-back against the 76ers on Monday.

The Clippers will be without Jones for at least six weeks after he suffered a Grade 2 MCL sprain during Sunday’s loss to the Celtics. Sanders, a second-round pick out of Nevada who has averaged 13.8 minutes in five appearances, will fill the void on Monday. Given the rookie’s limited production thus far, fantasy managers will be better off adding Sanders to their watchlists instead of going “all in” immediately. Last week, Lue mentioned Sanders, Jordan Miller (who’s currently out with a hamstring injury), Cam Christie and Kobe Brown as players who would play more, so there will be competition for those minutes.

Jones sustained a sprained MCL in his right knee during Sunday’s game against the Celtics and will be re-evaluated by the Clippers’ medical staff in six weeks.

Harden’s surreal 32-point second half was the driving force behind the Clippers’ late rally, as he nearly willed them to an improbable comeback win in Boston. He buried a pair of clutch three-pointers in the final 10 seconds to make it a one-point game with two seconds left, but missed a potential game-tying trey at the buzzer — a sequence that somehow felt like the perfect microcosm of his entire career. The 36-year-old scoring machine has topped 30 points in three of his last four contests. The Clippers will continue their seven-game road trip this week with stops in Philadelphia, Orlando, Charlotte, and Cleveland.

Zubac has been a double-double machine this season, accomplishing the feat seven times through 13 contests. The 28-year-old center had little trouble exploiting Boston’s lack of interior size and depth by repeatedly going to work against Neemias Queta and Luka Garza. The Clippers probably should’ve gone to him more frequently in this one, but they did get 17 points in 30 minutes from fellow big man John Collins. He should continue to see an increase in opportunities on the offensive end of the floor while Kawhi Leonard remains out with knee and ankle injuries.

Murray able to record his second double-double of the season and surpass 20 points for the seventh time this year despite a slow start to the night. He has cooled off after a hot start to the season, but Murray has still been a consistent source of offense for him all year.

Gordon has come back down to Earth since his 50-point outburst to open the season, but this ended up being one of his better offensive performances. It was also his first double-double of the year. Gordon has continued to develop his game every season, and his leap as a shooter has allowed him to average a career-high 2.5 three-pointers per game and shoot 88.9 percent from the free throw line thus far. Just two years ago, he hit 0.5 triples per game and shot 65.8 percent from the line.

With Cameron Johnson (ankle) sidelined, Watson was able to join the starting lineup. Watson’s streaming appeal comes from his defensive ability, and he was able to provide a taste of that in this game.

With Christian Braun (ankle) set to miss at least six weeks, THJ was able to slide into the starting lineup and take advantage of the larger opportunity.

For the seventh time this season, Jokić was able to finish with a triple-double. He continues to be the best player in fantasy basketball every single night and finds new ways to impact the game. He wasn’t able to match his 55-point night from Denver’s last game, but this was the seventh straight game he scored at least 25 points. Regardless of his matchup, Jokić should continue to dominate every single night.

Jokić was initially listed as questionable, but he’ll be good to go in this one. The injury is to his non-dominant wrist, so it shouldn’t be a factor in this game. Jokić had 55 points in his last outing and will look to provide an encore in this one.

The Clippers are 3-8 and just lost Bradley Beal for the season, so it makes sense that they might start to look to get younger players more minutes. Jordan Miller played 26 minutes in his first game of the season, so he seems set to take on the biggest role. Cam Christie is averaging just 11 minutes per game, Kobe Sanders is averaging 3.7 minutes, and Kobe Brown is averaging 2.1 minutes, so seeing “more playing time” might still not be enough to move the needle for fantasy leagues.

Murray didn’t shoot the ball well on Wednesday, but was still one of Denver’s top scorers on the evening. His biggest contributions came on the defensive end, however, where he logged a season-high in steals.

Gordon had an unspectacular, but somewhat productive night against the Clippers on Wednesday. He was one of four Nuggets players to score in double figures, and he finished tied for second in rebounds. Not much was asked of Gordon on a night in which Nikola Jokic scored 55 points and 18-of-23 shooting. Yet, he finished with decent production from a fantasy basketball standpoint, regardless. A more competitive game on Saturday against the Timberwolves could potentially lead to a more productive game from Gordon.

Jokic wasted no time putting the ball in the basket on Wednesday — he set the tone early with 25 first-quarter points and remained efficient the rest of the way before finishing with his first 50-point game of the season. The former Finals MVP punished the Clippers inside and outside the arc, and got to the foul line frequently, as well. He’s been tremendous after a slower start to the season, and has Denver performing like a legitimate title contender.

Zubac played 32 minutes and came up one rebound shy of a double-double. He shot efficiently from the floor but failed to get to the free-throw line for the second time this season, which prevented a higher scoring total.

In his first appearance of the season, Miller had a fantastic performance off the bench. He finished with a team-high in three-pointers and utilized that efficiency from beyond the arc to conclude as one of two Clippers players to score 20 or more points. Notably, Miller played more minutes than Cam Christie and Kobe Brown on Wednesday, who are two players who had been in the rotation recently. Miller’s successful outing on Wednesday might lead to more minutes for him in the immediate future.

Harden couldn’t quite find the shooting touch on Wednesday, but high volume and production from the free-throw line led him to finish as the Clippers’ leading scorer on the evening. However, he logged one of his least impactful games this season as a facilitator and tied a season-low in made three-pointers. The good news for fantasy managers, however, is that Harden will continue to be the central piece of the Clippers’ offense, especially with Kawhi Leonard (foot) out of the lineup. He’s a threat each game to put up massive stats.

Beal was in and out of the lineup with a knee injury and his overall effectiveness seemed to be in decline so far with the Clippers this season. The 32-year-old shooting guard missed Monday’s game against the Hawks with a hip injury and while there was concern he could miss more time, season-ending surgery is a bit of a surprise.

With Bradley Beal (hip) back on the sideline, Collins made his first start since joining the Clippers this offseason. While he was in the role many fantasy managers expected him to fulfill, the former Hawks forward struggled against the team that selected him in the 2017 draft. The bench role has limited Collins’ fantasy value, as he’s ranked outside the top-150 in nine-cat formats. He’s still rostered in 84 percent of Yahoo! leagues, with Beal’s injury putting some fantasy managers in a holding pattern. Collins’ production would not justify him being rostered in 12-team leagues if the Clippers were healthy.

Zubac recorded his fifth double-double in 10 games on Monday, continuing to provide solid fantasy value at the center position. Something to watch moving forward is Big Zu’s playing time, as he’s logged at least 30 minutes on five occasions. During the preseason, Clippers head coach Tyronn Lue said he wanted Zubac to play fewer minutes after he averaged 32 per game in 2024-25. However, offseason signing Brook Lopez (nine points, two assists, one block and two three-pointers) has not done enough to give the Clippers the two-headed monster they desired at the center position. If Zubac can consistently hit or exceed 30 minutes, his chances of making good on his Yahoo! ADP (41) increase.
