Wednesday’s game is the second in as many nights for the Clippers, so Garland’s sitting is not a surprise. With John Collins taking on the backup center responsibilities, he may remain with the second unit. Kobe Sanders is another option to step into the starting lineup if the Clippers prefer to bring Collins off the bench.

Garland had 22 points on 18 field goal attempts in Tuesday’s win over the Mavericks. The 26-year-old point guard wasn’t as efficient as he had been recently and only had four assists. He’s provided eighth-round per game value over the last two weeks. Garland should thrive in his first full season with the Clippers next year as long as they keep Kawhi Leonard.

Leonard continues to finish off a strong season where he’s provided top-five per game value. The small forward has impressively appeared in 63 games so far after appearing in just 37 games last year. Leonard turns 35 this offseason, but is still playing at a high level.

Due to a stress reaction in his left fibula, Sharpe has not appeared in a game since February 6. The doubtful tag suggests that he won’t play on Wednesday, but it also represents progress, as the Trail Blazers have immediately ruled Sharpe out ahead of prior games. The question is whether he’ll get any game time before the Play-In Tournament.

Grant is set to miss his third game in a row with a calf injury and there’s still no timeline for his return. Scoot Henderson started and had 21 points and seven assists in Sunday’s win over the Wizards. He’ll continue to start as long as Grant is sidelined.

Avdija secured a second straight 26-point outing on Monday. As usual, the free-throw line was his friend. However, he struggled from the field and gave the ball away four times. He’ll have a chance to land better production and more efficient scoring against the Spurs on Wednesday. The Trail Blazers are battling for seeding in the Western Conference Play-In Tournament. They are currently the ninth seed.
POR • Guard • #4

Holiday was one of Portland’s best offensive weapons on Monday. From a scoring standpoint, his three-point shooting led the way, but his ability to set the table for guys around him was also impressive. The veteran NBA champion didn’t have any defensive stats. However, he’s still arguably one of the better defensive guards in the league, and he’s bounced back with Portland after a lesser role and lower-producing final season in Boston. He’ll remain in a big role down the stretch of the regular season with the Blazers battling for Play-In Tournament seeding.

Camara recorded another 30-point outing on Monday, marking his third of the season. Similar to the previous games, the three-point shot was a major factor — he led all players in makes. The third-year forward has really come on toward the end of the regular season; he’s averaging 23.3 points and 4.2 three-pointers per game over the past four appearances. Camara didn’t make a big jump statistically this season, but his recent play could be a sign of things to come next fantasy season.

Garland was well on his way to scoring at least 20 points and potentially flirting with 10 assists, but he only played 24 minutes because the Clippers were blowing out the Kings. The 26-year-old point guard has been excellent lately, providing eighth-round per game value over the last two weeks. The Clippers close out the regular season with four games in the final week, beginning with a matchup against the Mavericks on Tuesday.
LAC • Power Forward • #20

Collins’ 25 points were tied with one other game for his season-high in points this year. The 28-year-old only played 24 minutes due to the lopsided score, but still had an excellent game due to his efficiency. Collins has provided eighth-round per game value over the last two weeks. The Clippers have four games in the final week of the regular season, starting with a matchup against the Mavericks on Tuesday.

Leonard came out on fire in this one, dropping 13 of his 26 points in the first quarter. The 34-year-old small forward finished out another week strong as the regular season winds down. He’s provided top-15 per game value over the last two weeks. Leonard and the Clippers have four games in the last week of the regular season, starting with a matchup against the Mavericks on Tuesday.

Collins has reached double figures in three consecutive games, a solid run for a player who totaled 13 points in the three games prior. However, his point total has decreased in each of the Clippers’ last three games. And his production took on added importance when Isaiah Jackson went down with a high ankle sprain. The backup center minutes now belong to Collins, resulting in his and Brook Lopez’s (six points, six rebounds, three assists and one block) minutes being staggered more than before Jackson’s injury. Jackson will be re-evaluated in one week, which means Collins will continue to have added importance.

On a night when Darius Garland (11/2/3/1/1 with one three-pointer) shot 5-of-17 from the field, Leonard could not do enough to drag the Clippers over the finish line. The veteran forward finished with yet another 20-point game, and most fantasy managers will take the final stat line. And they’ll also hope to see Leonard finish Week 23 on a high note, as the Clippers visit the Kings on Sunday.

Mathurin posted solid percentages and was active on the glass, but it wasn’t enough to keep the Clippers from being outclassed by the red-hot Spurs. And after scoring four points on 2-of-7 shooting in Tuesday’s loss to the Trail Blazers, he needed to have a good Thursday night individually. The Clippers play once more in Week 23, on Sunday in Sacramento, and that’s a matchup in which Mathurin can flourish.

Injuries took Thybulle off the board for most fantasy managers even before this season began. But Thursday showed what he’s capable of when allowed to take on a more prominent role. With the Pelicans going small for significant stretches, Thybulle played 31 minutes while starting center Donovan Clingan (4/9/2/1) played 22 due to foul trouble. A disappointing end to Week 23 for Clingan was a positive one for Thybulle, who finished a blocked shot shy of a complete stat line.

Camara has scored at least 17 points in each of his last three games, and he’s made multiple three-pointers in each of his last seven. The only negative for fantasy managers was that Week 23 was a two-game week for the Trail Blazers, limiting Camara’s value. For those whose leagues run through Week 24, they’ll get another four games out of the third-year forward.

Holiday has been on a roll from deep recently, having made at least three three-pointers in each of his last five games. And in wins over the Clippers and Pelicans, he shot a combined 14-of-30 from beyond the arc. Add in the rebounds and assists, and this was an excellent end to Week 23 for Holiday. For those whose leagues run through Week 24, the Trail Blazers play four games.

While he shot just 35 percent from the field on Thursday, Avdija recorded a complete stat line in the win over the Pelicans. He’s scored at least 20 points in four straight appearances, and 17 or more in 14 straight. As long as Avdija can keep the turnovers in check, he’ll provide excellent value, especially in category leagues. Unfortunately, the Trail Blazers are done for Week 23, so there’s no more value to be gained from Avdija this season.

Jackson suffered a high right ankle sprain during the Clippers’ March 27 win over the Pacers and has not played since. Given the timeline the team provided on Thursday, he isn’t guaranteed to return before the end of the regular season. John Collins has served as the center when Brook Lopez is off the floor and should continue to take on those responsibilities while remaining part of the starting lineup.

It has been a largely unproductive season for Lopez, but he has started at center in every game since Ivica Zubac suited up for the last time as a Clipper, and he has been productive, especially recently. He has 16 blocks over his last five games and has scored in double figures in all but one of those. Lopez has provided fifth-round value over the past two weeks, and they’ll need him to stay productive in Thursday’s game against the Spurs.

Garland had a shaky start to this game, turning the ball over five times in the first half, which contributed to the Clippers’ 16-point halftime deficit. He cleaned things up after the break, but that wasn’t enough to help the Clippers make a comeback. That ended their five-game winning streak, and they’ll look to get back on track against the Spurs on Thursday. Garland has been excellent recently and will look to stay hot in that one.

This was an offensive outburst for Holiday, which led to his third 30-point game of the season. This performance was only surpassed by his outing against the Grizzlies on March 4, where he contributed 35 points and eight three-pointers. Holiday has been a strong starter for the Blazers this season, though performances like this haven’t come often. He’ll look to carry some of this production into Thursday’s matchup with the Pelicans, which will be their final game of the week.

Rough free throw shooting has limited Avdija’s value as of late, but he was able to have a productive night from there in this game while also recording his third double-double of the month. Avdija has enjoyed a breakout season, though he has certainly cooled off over the past two months. The back injury that has forced him to miss time is certainly a reason, and Portland will hope to have him at 100 percent for the postseason.

Camara led the Trail Blazers in scoring in the win over the Wizards on Sunday. The 25-year-old small forward only played 28 minutes with the Trail Blazers leading by so much.

Avdija returned from a back injury earlier this month and his play has picked up as of late. The 25-year-old small forward has had at least 17 points in his last 12 consecutive games, a stretch where his team is 8-4. Turnovers continue to be the lone issue for Avdija as he’s had at least four turnovers in each of his last three games. The Trail Blazers only have two games upcoming in Week 23, starting with a matchup against the Clippers on Tuesday.

Garland’s 11 assists matched his high since joining the Clippers, with the point guard finishing Sunday’s victory with his third double-double. And after spraining his ankle during Friday’s win over the Pacers, Garland’s ability to play 27 minutes without issue was encouraging. The Clippers’ three-game Week 23 does not include a back-to-back, which should bode well for Garland’s availability.

Mathurin was whistled for a technical during the first half after arguing over an uncalled foul, and that may have given the Clippers’ reserve a boost. He attempted 14 free throws after the tech, contributing to an efficient 28-point afternoon for Mathurin. Add in the rebounds, and this was a solid end to Week 22 for Mathurin. He’ll look to put together another solid offensive showing on Tuesday against the Trail Blazers.

With no Isaiah Jackson (ankle) in the rotation, Collins was asked to do a bit more for the Clippers on Sunday. The 35 minutes were the most in a game for him since the All-Star break, with the playing time being a clear sign that Collins’ ankle is in good shape. The Clippers play three games in Week 23 and don’t have a back-to-back, which is good news for those rostering Collins.

Leonard extended his streak of games with at least 20 points to 51 games on Sunday, but it was close. And that had more to do with the Clippers’ offensive balance than anything the Bucks did defensively. Six Clippers reached double figures, with John Collins and Bennedict Mathurin joining Leonard as 20-point scorers. The Clippers play three games in Week 23, starting with the Trail Blazers on Tuesday in a critical matchup for tiebreaker purposes.

Avdjia did everything but make a three-pointer on Friday, helping compensate for another high-turnover night. The Trail Blazers’ playmaker was responsible for five turnovers against the Mavericks, and he’s been responsible for at least three in each of his last ten appearances. Given how much Avdija has the ball in his hands, the turnovers are somewhat understandable. And the task would become more difficult if Jerami Grant (calf) has to miss time.

Holiday finished Friday’s defeat with his first 20-point game in two weeks, with his scoring output having decreased during the second half of March. After scoring 20 or more in five of Portland’s first six games of the month, the veteran guard was limited to 15 or fewer in seven straight before Friday. With Jerami Grant leaving Friday’s game with a calf injury, the Trail Blazers may need more offensive production from Holiday going forward, which could raise his ceiling.

Mathurin’s return from a four-game absence was a successful one, as he helped lead the Clippers to a third consecutive win. Per usual, the Clippers’ sixth man scored the ball well, with free-throw shooting being a primary reason. He also contributed as a passer and ultimately tied a team-high in assists.

After a low-scoring outing in the Clippers blowout win on Monday, Garland upped his overall production in Wednesday’s blowout victory. In 30 minutes, he tallied at least five made three-pointers for the fifth time in 11 games as a Clipper, and used that three-point production to score over 20 points for the seventh time since being traded to Los Angeles. The seventh-year guard has proven to be a good fit at the guard position for the Clippers in his limited time with the team. As they fight for seeding towards the end of the regular season, likely in the Play-In Tournament, Garland should remain a focal point of the offense and a productive player in fantasy leagues.
