Simmons has missed the Clippers’ last seven games with this ongoing knee issue, but he may return to the lineup against Atlanta. He would only play a limited reserve role whenever he is made available, though that could still take minutes away from Nicolas Batum and Amir Coffey.

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.

Harden struggled with his shot on Wednesday, making just 30 percent of his attempts. But he still managed to extend his streak of games with at least 20 points to six. Add in the rebounds, assists and steals, and Harden made up for the poor field-goal percentage. What also helped fantasy managers, especially those in nine-cat leagues, was that The Beard only committed three turnovers, his lowest tally in five games. The Clippers end Week 19 with games on Friday and Sunday.

Zubac extended his double-double streak to nine games, though it wasn’t enough to add another win for the Clippers. Zubac’s best categories this season have been rebounds, blocks and field goal percentage, all of which were on full display on Tuesday. However, he was also able to provide some dimes as a bonus. He didn’t reach his season-high of six assists, but this was the seventh time that he has had at least five assists in a game this year. Zubac has played 39 minutes per game over their last four games, which will only increase his fantasy ceiling.

After knocking down the game-winning shot at the buzzer on Sunday, Leonard was able to build on that momentum against New Orleans. It didn’t extend their win streak, but Leonard had one of his most productive games of the season. Leonard is continuing to take strides and progress back to being a dominant wing player, but the one limitation in fantasy basketball continues to be availability. Unfortunately, this was the first leg of a back-to-back for the Clippers, so managers should expect Leonard to not be available against Miami on Wednesday.

Though he only played 25 minutes because of the lopsided score, Duren was able to record his third-straight double-double on Tuesday. He continues to be a double-double machine with an excellent field goal percentage, and the blocks have been hit-or-miss. Prior to having two swats in this game, he went three straight games without one. Before that stretch, he had 10 in two games. Still, Duren ranks inside the top-50 in nine-cat value over the past two weeks and will look to keep that up over Detroit’s final two games of the week.

Though the turnovers and poor field goal percentage will continue to limit Harden’s overall value in nine-cat formats, he has been on quite the tear recently. Over the Clippers’ last five games, Harden has averaged 30.4 points, 5.2 rebounds, 11 assists and four three-pointers per game. He has two games with at least 15 assists, four games with at least 25 points and one 50-point game during that stretch. Harden’s 17 assists also tied his season-high. He’s limited by two categories, but he has been fantastic in the others.

Cunningham’s breakout season just keeps getting better. He has scored at least 25 points in five consecutive games and has two double-doubles during that stretch. Turnovers have generally been a massive issue for him, but he only had three in this game. He had at least five in each of Detroit’s last five games prior to this, which makes his three on Tuesday look even better. Detroit only has two more games this week, which includes a rematch with the Wizards on Thursday.

Eubanks will miss Tuesday’s game, but he fell out of the rotation against Sacramento on Sunday. Tyronn Lue will likely utilize a smaller lineup when Ivica Zubac isn’t on the floor against New Orleans, which should lead to Derrick Jones Jr. minutes at center.

For the second time in his career, Leonard made a legitimate buzzer-beater to give his team the win. However, three-point shooting remains an issue for the Clippers forward. Leonard shot 1-of-7 from beyond the arc on Sunday, dropping to 3-of-19 over his last three games. Due to the perimeter shooting struggles, he has made just 38.6 percent of his field goal attempts over the past week. Fantasy managers hope Sunday’s finish will serve as a catalyst for Leonard as the Clippers open a four-game Week 19 in New Orleans on Tuesday.

Harden has scored 20 points or more in four straight games, his longest streak since late November. The Beard has provided excellent fantasy value since the All-Star break in eight-cat formats, ranking 13th according to Basketball Monster. While the turnover count can be problematic for fantasy managers competing in nine-cat leagues, Harden’s overall production compensates for that on most nights.

Zubac last failed to record a double-double on February 23, extending his streak to eight straight games. Since the All-Star break, the Clippers center has provided top-25 value in nine-cat formats. Zubac has exceeded all expectations regarding fantasy basketball, and there’s no reason to believe that won’t continue. The Clippers play four games during Week 19, but the fantasy playoff schedule leaves a bit to be desired.

After providing limited value in his return from a groin injury on Friday, Jones was productive in his 28 minutes off the bench Sunday night. The 17 points are the most he’s scored in a game since February 4, when he hit that number in a loss to the Lakers. Jones, rostered in six percent of Yahoo! leagues, heads into Week 19 ranked well outside the top 150 in eight- and nine-cat formats. Even if the Clippers were to move him back into the starting lineup, there wouldn’t be much to gain from rostering Jones. Nicolas Batum remained in the starting five on Sunday and finished with nine points, four rebounds, one block and three three-pointers in 28 minutes.

Duren has recorded a double-double in four of his last five games, providing fantasy managers with consistent production. Since the break, the Pistons center has been a top 40 player in eight- and nine-cat formats, exceeding his season-long production on both. While Duren’s averages still aren’t as good as his 2023-24 numbers, he’s bounced back from a slow start, and the improved roster has also been a reason why his averages have taken a hit.

While games of 20 points or more have not been the norm for Harris this season, he has been consistently productive. Sunday’s game was his 11th with at least 20, and he’s providing top 75 value in eight-cat formats since the All-Star break. As was the case for most of his time in Philadelphia, Harris isn’t a “sexy” player to have rostered in fantasy leagues. However, fantasy managers have a good idea of what they’re getting from him nightly.

While he shot the ball well on Sunday, turnovers were an issue for Cunningham. One night removed from committing nine turnovers in a loss to the Warriors, he was responsible for eight against the Trail Blazers. High-turnover nights have been rare for Cunningham, which has been one of the areas of significant improvement for him this season. A top-10 player in eight-cat formats since the All-Star break, Cade is ranked just outside the top 25 in nine-cat. His overall production has been good enough to avoid taking too big of a hit due to turnovers, which has been great for fantasy managers. The Pistons head home for three games during Week 19, starting with the Wizards on Tuesday.

After hosting the Kings on Sunday, the Clippers will hit the road for a three-game trip that begins Tuesday night in New Orleans. Simmons, who will miss a fifth-straight game on Sunday, will not travel due to left knee injury management. His absence does not significantly impact fantasy basketball, but it frees up additional minutes for Amir Coffey.

Harris’ rebound total was his second highest as he posted his fifth double-double of the campaign and first since January 4. It was a nice night for points and boards, but Harris shot a pedestrian 4-of-11 from the field and 0-of-2 from beyond the arc while failing to record a defensive stat. The Pistons face the Trail Blazers on Sunday for the second leg of a back-to-back set.

Few, if any, expected Batum to be as impactful offensively as he was on Friday. The Clippers forward shot 5-of-7 from beyond the arc, and the 17 points are the most he’s scored in a game this season. Add the complete stat line, and the one percent of Yahoo! managers with Batum rostered were handsomely rewarded on Friday. However, as good as this performance was, it has not been the norm for the veteran forward. Batum has scored in double figures four times this season, and his previous high was 12 points. Unless there’s a dire need to roll the dice on Sunday night, there’s little need to add Batum ahead of the Clippers’ game against the Kings.

The Knicks could not come up with an answer for Zubac early in Friday’s game, as he ran the floor and punished mismatches before a lumbering Karl-Anthony Towns got into position defensively. The Clippers center scored 10 of his 16 points before halftime, and he would eventually record his seventh straight double-double. Since the All-Star break, Zubac has provided top-30 value in eight- and nine-cat formats, cracking the top 25 in the latter. He’ll look to end Week 18 on a high note when the Clippers host the Kings on Sunday.

One game removed from scoring a season-high 50 points, Harden was held in check by the Knicks. However, he hit five three-points and led the Clippers with a game-high 27 points. Since the All-Star break, Harden is ranked 13th in eight-cat formats, according to Basketball Monster. For the season, he has provided first-round value in eight-cat. While his Yahoo! ADP of 15 suggests that this was believed to be a realistic possibility, Harden deserves credit for exceeding expectations thus far.

Leonard struggled to find his shot from deep, making one of six three-point attempts, but the ability to get to the foul line paid dividends on Friday. Having scored 20 points or more in four straight and six of his last seven outings, the Clippers forward has been a top-50 player in eight-cat formats since the All-Star break. Among Clippers players, only James Harden and Ivica Zubac have been more productive than Leonard. Unfortunately for fantasy managers, Leonard may be limited to three games during Week 19 because of a back-to-back. The good news is that he has another game during Week 18, as the Clippers host the Kings on Sunday.

There’s plenty of opportunities available with the Pistons for Schroder to have fantasy value as the backup point guard.

The 23-year-old point guard is a do-everything superstar for the Pistons. However, his 3-point shooting leaves much to be desired. Cunningham is just 3-of-15 from behind the 3-point line over his last two games. He’s also turned the ball over at least five times in three straight games now. Cunningham has been a top-10 player over the last three weeks in eight-category leagues.

Harden was fouled on multiple 3-point attempts in the first half on his way to 20 free throw attempts. He was an unstoppable scoring machine Wednesday. Harden still had five turnovers, a problem that has contributed to him being much more valuable in eight-category leagues since the All-Star break.

Thompson was one of two Pistons starters to not miss a shot from the field on Monday, with Jalen Duren being the other. A double-digit scorer in three straight and five of his last six appearances, Ausar’s 17 points are the most he’s had in a game since February 12. While his season-long fantasy value remains outside the top 100 in eight- and nine-cat formats, Thompson has been a top 50 player since the All-Star break.

Of course, Isaiah Stewart (three points, four rebounds, one assist and four blocks in 14 minutes) getting into foul trouble led to Duren playing 30 minutes (or more) for just the fifth time since the beginning of February.

Thompson left Wednesday’s game against the Celtics late with what appeared to be a nasty leg injury. The 22-year-old small forward was merely dealing with a cramp and wasn’t even listed on the injury report ahead of Friday’s game. Thompson appeared to be fine Friday as his trademark defense resulted in five steals for the second game in a row. The potential is there for Thompson to be a fantasy stud, but he hasn’t provided much scoring in this last three games.
