Niederhäuser has missed the Clippers’ last two games, and there’s a legitimate chance that he plays rotation minutes on Tuesday. With Ivica Zubac (ankle) out for at least three weeks, there is room for the rookie, likely behind Brook Lopez. Niederhäuser is not worth adding, but deep-league managers should monitor his playing time and production.

Clarke has appeared in only two games this season, and he was forced to exit Saturday’s loss to the Wizards early with a strained right calf. Santi Aldama and Jock Landale should continue to soak up frontcourt minutes with Zach Edey out. Christian Koloko recently inked a 10-day deal, and he’ll provide backup depth at the position.

Zubac injured his ankle during the first quarter of Saturday’s win over the Lakers and did not return. Brook Lopez played 25 minutes off the bench, and he’s the most likely option to move into the starting lineup. There may be times when the Clippers go small and use Nicolas Batum, but Lopez is the superior option for fantasy managers.

With Ivica Zubac leaving Saturday’s game during the first half, there was a greater need for production from Collins. He answered the call, recording his first double-double of the season. Overall, Collins has been a disappointment in fantasy basketball, but he has been a top-100 player in eight-cat formats over the last two weeks. If Zubac misses time, Collins stands to benefit, and Brook Lopez (11 points, five rebounds, two blocks and three three-pointers in 25 minutes) should as well.

Harden continued his climb up the NBA’s career assists list, as he passed Andre Miller to move into 12th during Saturday’s victory. “The Beard,” who did not play in Thursday’s loss to the Nuggets, recorded his ninth double-double of the season and first since November 29. For the season, he’s providing top-10 value in eight-cat formats, exceeding his Yahoo! ADP (15) by a few spots.

The only problem that fantasy managers may have with Leonard in the aftermath of Saturday’s performance was the field-goal percentage. However, when a player drops an overall line this robust, it’s easy to write off one “bad” category. The 30-point game was Leonard’s sixth of the season and first since December 1. Over the last two weeks, he has been a top-10 player in eight-cat formats. The Clippers play three games in Week 10, starting with the Rockets on Tuesday.

Zubac rolled his left ankle during the first quarter of Saturday’s game, with team trainers taking him back to the locker room immediately after. The 7-footer has since been ruled out for the rest of the night. Brook Lopez, who had fallen out of the rotation, will figure prominently in the Clippers’ lineup. And he would be worth picking up if Zubac misses additional time.

Aldama saw a massive uptick in usage with Brandon Clarke exiting this one after just a handful of minutes with a calf injury. The 24-year-old amassed a season-high 23 shot attempts and shot 65.2 percent from the floor, including knocking down 5-of-9 from three-point range. It would be unrealistic to expect him to go full supernova on a regular basis, but he’s a streaky scorer capable of lighting up opposing teams when he’s in a groove. He’ll see additional minutes next week if Clark winds up requiring an extended absence, especially since Zach Edey is still dealing with an ankle issue. The Grizzlies kick off a four-game week on Monday with a road matchup against a powerhouse Thunder before facing the Jazz and Bucks before a rematch against the Wizards.

Jackson has been one of the most impactful all-around threats in the fantasy landscape over the past week, averaging 27.0 points, 8.0 rebounds, 3.3 assists, 1.7 steals and 2.7 blocks over his last three games. He’s scored at least 22 points in each of those contests and has eight blocks during that span. That’ll do.

In the aftermath of his sprained right MCL, Jones was given a recovery timeline that suggested he would not be able to return until sometime in January. While that could wind up being the case, Jones is ahead of schedule, according to his head coach. Lue confirmed last week that Jones was ahead of schedule, and Jones’ progression to 5-on-5 suggests he could be back in the lineup sooner rather than later. Jones’ availability affects John Collins the most, as he has been the replacement in the starting lineup.

The Clippers were without James Harden (calf) for Thursday’s game, resulting in Bogdanović making his third start of the season and first since October 28. While the points, three-pointers and field-goal percentage were solid, Bogie’s overall line wasn’t good enough to make him a player worth adding if Harden has to miss multiple games. The Clippers host the Lakers on Saturday in their final game of Week 9.

Collins, who has been in the starting lineup since November 10, recorded his second 20-point game of the season on Thursday. While the rebounding was underwhelming, providing more consistent scoring would do wonders for Collins’ fantasy value. Despite being a disappointment in fantasy, he’s still rostered in 75 percent of Yahoo! leagues. Even with Thursday’s performance, the lone justification for that is Derrick Jones Jr.'s absence due to a knee injury.

With no James Harden on the floor, Thursday should have been a night in which the Clippers relied even more on Leonard. While he did lead the team in points and shot attempts, Leonard missed all five of his three-point attempts. A decent night could have been even better, and possibly kept the Clippers from getting blown out after a good first quarter. The Clippers return home to host the Lakers on Saturday night.

With Brandon Clarke (knee) making his season debut, there may have been some concern among those who have held onto Landale. However, with Clarke under a minutes restriction, he played 30 minutes off the bench and finished with one of his best lines of the season. The double-double was the second of the season for Landale, who also recorded his third 20-point game. With Clarke’s playing time restricted and Zach Edey (ankle) unavailable, those who held onto Landale for this long might as well stick with him for a few more games.

Clarke made his season debut on Wednesday, and to the surprise of many, he did so as a starter. His first stint on the floor lasted just under four minutes, and the Grizzlies are likely to limit Clarke’s playing time for the foreseeable future. The question is whether he can play enough while Zach Edey (ankle) is out to become a viable option in deep leagues. Based on the playing time and production, Clarke isn’t there yet, but that could change in time.

With Ja Morant (ankle) unavailable, the Grizzlies decided to go big on Wednesday, with Brandon Clarke joining the starters. That may have opened some things up for Wells offensively, and the second-year wing extended his streak of double-digit scoring games to 10. Over the past two weeks, Wells has been a top-100 player in eight-cat formats, a significant improvement for a player ranked outside the top-200 for the season. Cedric Coward (13/5/3/1) continues to have superior season-long fantasy value, but the gap between him and Wells is shrinking.

After he went off for 31 points in Monday’s win over the Clippers, there were likely a lot of fantasy managers interested in seeing what Jackson would do for an encore. With Ja Morant (ankle) back on the sidelines, Trip recorded a complete stat line that included his first double-double of the season. Over the past two weeks, Jackson has been a fourth-round player in eight-cat formats. After these last two games, Jackson’s “buy low” window has likely closed.

Harden played through a calf issue against the Grizzlies and had one of his least productive offensive outings of the season. He was held under 15 points for the third time all season failed to reach his season average in assists.

Dunn’s scoring production hinged largely on whether he could make open three-pointers in this game, which he did. As a result, he logged his highest scoring total of the month and, additionally, recorded his third straight game with at least four assists.

Still, he had a solid performance overall and will likely continue to start at shooting guard.

Leonard led the Clippers in scoring on Monday, as he was the only player on the team to reach the 20-point mark. He didn’t provide much fantasy value outside of his scoring, though, which isn’t usually the case. Still, the 20-point outing allowed him to extend his streak of such games to eight. The Clippers need Leonard’s scoring to win games, and he continues to be one of their best options. Expect him to remain an efficient scorer so long as he’s healthy and on the floor.

Wells was solid on the offensive end on Monday, connecting on half of his shot attempts while getting some production from the free-throw line. Yet, his effort defending the Clippers’ James Harden all night long was impressive and significant in limiting the former MVP’s production — Wells’ counting stats won’t tell the full story of just how impactful he was in this game.
