Harden did not play in Monday’s win over the Warriors, allowing Kobe Sanders to start and have the best night of his rookie season. He’ll likely remain in the starting five if Harden can’t return for the first game of the Clippers’ road trip.

Murray suffered the injury in Sunday’s matchup with Milwaukee, and the injury will keep him out through the end of January at the earliest. Precious Achiuwa is the most likely beneficiary of Murray’s absence from a fantasy hoops perspective, but Nique Clifford is also in the mix to see increased run.

Zubac came off the bench in his first game back following a five-game absence, but he was back in the starting lineup for this one. He did most of his scoring at the free throw line, but he was immediately able to record a double-double in his first game back with a normal workload. Zubac will get back to being a strong fantasy option now that he is healthy and available. He’ll look to have another strong performance against the Knicks on Wednesday.

With James Harden (shoulder) sidelined, Sanders got the starting nod for the fourth time during his rookie season. He was solid as a starter previously, but this was his best performance of the year. Sanders may have earned extra minutes with this performance, but he won’t be worth rostering unless he gets the opportunity to start in the future. If Harden remains out against the Knicks on Wednesday, Sanders will have intriguing upside as a streamer.

Leonard missed all eight of his three-point attempts, and the turnovers weren’t pretty, but this was an otherwise strong performance from Kawhi. However, in comparison to his recent stretch, this was an underwhelming outing from him. Leonard has been one of the best per-game players in fantasy basketball this season, and as long as he remains healthy, that should continue. He’ll look to stay hot in New York on Wednesday.

Active after a nine-game absence, LaVine was not restricted in any way on Sunday. He did come off the bench, with Precious Achiuwa (four points, three rebounds and two steals in 15 minutes) remaining in the starting lineup. However, with LaVine playing 36 minutes, he’ll likely start as soon as Tuesday’s game against the Mavericks. With Keegan Murray exiting Sunday’s game with a sprained ankle, there’s a chance that Achiuwa remains in the starting lineup for at least one more game, even if LaVine is promoted.

One game removed from becoming the highest-scoring point guard in league history, Westbrook recorded a robust stat line on Sunday. The field-goal percentage was poor, but the veteran point guard did a little bit of everything and kept the turnovers in check. Over the past two weeks, Westbrook has offered top-75 per-game value in eight-cat formats. And if Keegan Murray has to miss time after spraining his left ankle, Westbrook may boast a higher fantasy ceiling in the short term.

Ellis played five minutes before exiting with a left thumb injury, and he has been ruled out for the rest of the night. With Keegan Murray (ankle) also leaving Sunday’s game due to injury, the Kings have relied mainly on a seven-man rotation. Malik Monk has not played, which doesn’t bode well for his chances of becoming fantasy-relevant if Ellis and Murray miss time.

Jones has suffered a sprained MCL in his right knee on two occasions this season, with both occurring in games against the Celtics. His most recent injury occurred during Saturday’s loss at home, as Celtics guard Payton Pritchard landed on Jones’ leg while diving for a loose ball. Jones has been diagnosed with a Grade 2 sprain and will miss at least six weeks before being re-evaluated. John Collins will continue to start at power forward, and there may be additional minutes available to Kobe Sanders and Kobe Brown.

Jones injured his right knee during the fourth quarter of Saturday’s loss to the Celtics when Payton Pritchard landed on his leg while attempting to reel in a loose ball. Jones eventually limped back to the locker room after being helped off the floor, but he was still seen struggling to put weight on his right leg after the game. This is the same knee that he injured during a November 16 game in Boston, with the sprained right MCL sidelining him for nearly six weeks.

Harden has tormented the Celtics over the years, but he was unable to get anything going in this one as Boston threw a combination of strong defenders at him including Derrick White, Jared Walsh and rookie standout Hugo González. The 36-year-old veteran point guard was held to less than 20 points for the first time in six games as Los Angeles’ extended win streak came to an unceremonious end. The Clippers have four games on tap next week including matchups against the Warriors, Knicks, Nets and Pistons.

Leonard had his hands full with Boston’s plethora of strong wing defenders as Jaylen Brown and company took turns making things challenging for the veteran superstar, who shot just 35 percent from the floor, including 2-of-8 from beyond the arc. He still managed to turn in a respectable effort from a fantasy standpoint with a handful of rebounds, assists and steals in a one-sided affair that snapped a six-game winning streak for Los Angeles.

Zubac failed to make a significant impact, despite logging 20 minutes in his return from a five-game absence due to a sprained ankle that he suffered back on December 20. The 28-year-old big man was unable to exploit Boston’s lack of strong interior defense, attempting just six shots in a one-sided affair. Fantasy managers should anticipate the Clippers keeping a governor on his workload for at least a couple additional contests as he works his way back to full strength.

Zubac has returned from a sprained ankle sooner than expected, as he suffered a Grade 2 sprain during a December 20 win over the Lakers.

Brook Lopez will remain in the starting lineup for at least one more night.

Raynaud injured his left knee late in Friday’s loss to the Suns, hobbling off the court after being inadvertently clipped by teammate Russell Westbrook. The rookie’s MRI on Saturday showed no structural damage, and the fact that he’s expected to play on Sunday is excellent news. Drew Eubanks will remain in the backup center role, where there isn’t much fantasy value to be found.

Raynaud, who has filled in for the injured Domantas Sabonis as Sacramento’s starting center, had a rather nondescript night in Phoenix. Unfortunately, that changed when the rookie center’s left knee was clipped by teammate Russell Westbrook while setting a screen late in the fourth quarter. Raynaud exited immediately after the injury, and the Kings would be in a tough spot if he had to miss time. Drew Eubanks would likely re-enter the starting lineup, while Dylan Cardwell may need to be recalled from the G League.

Murray made three three-pointers against the Kings, but even more impressive was his consistent mid-range game. The 25-year-old small forward was 3-of-5 from behind the three-point line and 6-of-12 from inside it. Murray didn’t get much help from his teammates, though, as the Kings lost by 27. He’s scored at least 20 points for just the second time in his last 13 games. Murray will look to keep the hot hand going against the Bucks on Sunday.

Westbrook passed Oscar Robertson to become the highest scoring point guard in the history of the NBA with 26,711 points. The 37-year-old point guard also has the most rebounds of any point guard in league history as well as field goals made. Westbrook has had an incredible career and can still play at a high level. He averaged 16.2 points per game, 7.5 assists per game and 5.8 rebounds per game in December. The Kings conclude the week with a game against the Bucks on Sunday.

Batum tallied a season-high in points and three-pointers on Thursday to help the Clippers win their sixth straight game. The veteran forward has mostly become a spot-up three-point shooter at this stage of his career and continues to shoot them efficiently. He likely won’t add much fantasy value if his three-point shot isn’t dropping on high volume, but he’ll likely be available as a streaming option in fantasy leagues for those in dire need of three-point production.

Harden logged a solid performance in his 29 minutes on Thursday, leading the Clippers in assists and finishing as one of two players to score at least 20 points. Harden was one of four starters not to log any fourth-quarter minutes, as Kawhi Leonard’s 20-point takeover in the final frame allowed the Clippers to open up a big lead and rest several key players. With the additional rest, fantasy managers will hope Harden can land a big performance on Saturday against the Celtics.

Leonard’s dominance continued on Thursday, recording his third straight game with at least 30 points, and his third time scoring 40 points or more over his last five appearances. A season-high six three-pointers keyed his success against Utah, as he hit four in the fourth quarter en route to tallying 20 points in the final frame. Leonard, a two-time Defensive Player of the Year Award winner, also combined for four stocks before checking out for the final time. He remains one of the hottest players in the league and will have a chance to continue his dominance on Saturday against the Celtics.

Westbrook had another down performance by his standards, one game after a low-production outing against the Clippers. He narrowly made it to double figures as a scorer, with inefficient, high-volume three-point shooting among the reasons for his low output.

DeRozan bounced back from an eight-point outing against the Clippers to lead the Kings in scoring and finish as the only one on his team to reach the 20-point mark. Per usual, the bulk of his scoring was done inside the arc, but he also made use of the free-throw line. The veteran wing had some utility as a facilitator, as well, and is capable of some strong fantasy performances so long as the Kings stay competitive enough for him to log heavy minutes.

While left hip tightness forced an early exit from the Clippers’ December 26 win in Portland, Bogdanović has missed the first three games of the team’s five-game homestand due to left hamstring injury management. Not only will he miss the final two games, but there’s no guarantee that he’ll be available when the Clippers hit the road on January 7 against the Knicks.

A double-figure scorer in two straight and four of his last six appearances, Clifford recorded a season-high point total on Tuesday. And it’s worth noting that the rookie did not have to wait until “garbage time” to put up his points. Clifford shot 6-of-8 from the field in the first three quarters and finished a steal shy of a complete stat line. One solid performance does not make him a player worth adding, but Clifford is undoubtedly someone who would have added value if the Kings move some of their veterans before the February trade deadline.

Murray returned from his calf injury much sooner than many may have expected, as he was back in the lineup on Tuesday after a two-game absence. Interestingly, he played 30 minutes despite the game getting out of hand by halftime. The only important takeaway from Tuesday’s game for Murray managers is that he got through it without aggravating the calf injury. The Kings play three games over the final four days of Week 11, starting with a back-to-back on Thursday/Friday against the Celtics and Suns. We’ll see if Murray is available for all three.

The play of the Kings’ 2025 draft picks may have been the only positive to take from Tuesday’s 131-90 defeat. Raynaud recorded his sixth double-double since moving into the starting lineup. Add in the two blocked shots, and the final stat line was decent. Rostered in 31 percent of Yahoo! leagues, he has been a top-100 player over the past three weeks. If Raynaud is sitting on the waiver wire in 14-team leagues, and even some 12-team formats, fantasy managers can do far worse than picking him up if there’s a need for production at the center position.

Before the Clippers lost Ivica Zubac to a sprained ankle, Niederhäuser’s opportunities were limited, with the rookie hitting double digits in minutes just twice in his first 12 appearances. He’s slotted in as Brook Lopez’s backup, and the first-round pick out of Penn State had the best night of his young career on Tuesday. Niederhäuser recorded new highs in points and rebounds, shooting 75 percent from the field. While he still isn’t at the point where he should be rostered in redraft leagues, Niederhäuser’s performance against the Kings was promising for those who have him in dynasty formats.

The Clippers did not require much from Harden on Tuesday, as they were never challenged in the 131-90 victory. As a result, his stat line was modest in comparison to what fantasy managers have grown accustomed to. The good news for Harden managers, especially those competing in nine-cat formats, is that he did not commit a turnover, the first time that has happened this season. The Clippers end Week 11 with home games against the Jazz and Celtics on Thursday and Saturday.

Collins returned to the Clippers’ lineup on Tuesday after missing Sunday’s win over the Pistons with an illness. And he continues to perform well, providing third-round value in eight-cat formats over the past two weeks. Tuesday’s game was the second for Derrick Jones Jr. (8/1/3/2/1 with one three-pointer) since returning from a knee injury, and he played 20 minutes off the bench to Collins’ 22. Tuesday’s blowout affected the minutes split, but fantasy managers should watch for it when the Clippers face more formidable opponents.

Two days removed from scoring a career-high 55 points, Leonard had 30 points through the first three quarters on Tuesday. Unlike the Pistons, the Kings offered little resistance to the Clippers throughout the 131-90 defeat, so Kawhi’s night was done with just over seven minutes remaining in the fourth quarter.

After tallying one steal and two blocks in Saturday’s win over the Mavericks, Raynaud did not record any defensive stats on Sunday. However, the rookie did come through with his fifth double-double. And over the past two weeks, Raynaud has provided top-75 value in eight-cat formats.

After three games in which he was on the outskirts of the Kings’ rotation, Ellis found himself in the starting lineup on Saturday. And as the saying goes, “stay ready so you don’t have to get ready.” The Kings’ guard shot 5-of-10 from beyond the arc and scored a season-high 21 points. Add in the defensive stats, and this was an excellent night for Ellis. While head coach Doug Christie has not hesitated to make changes to his lineups, one would think that Ellis did enough to hold onto his job for Sunday’s game against the Lakers. He’s worth the streaming risk in deep leagues, especially when considering how bad the Lakers have been defensively.
