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.

Hayes suffered a right knee contusion late in Thursday’s win over the Knicks, hence his inclusion on the injury report. While the Lakers have Trey Jemison to absorb some of the minutes if Hayes cannot play, they can also employ center-less lineups thanks to Dorian Finney-Smith (who’s already starting) and Jarred Vanderbilt.

James has consistently shown up on the injury report this year as he manages a foot injury, but the 40-year-old small forward hasn’t missed many games. Doncic also has made himself consistently available since being traded to the Lakers. Los Angeles should have both of its stars available against the Celtics on Saturday.
LAL • Forward-Guard • #77

Doncic started his tenure with the Lakers with a few quiet performances, but he has hit his stride recently. He is back to being an elite fantasy option and has helped the Lakers win eight straight games. Doncic has provided first-round value over the past two weeks with averages of 27.7 points, 8.7 rebounds, 9.3 assists, 2.4 steals and 3.4 three-pointers per game. He has shot 41.4 percent from the floor, so there is certainly still room for improvement, which is scary. Doncic will play in Boston for the first time as a Laker on Saturday to close out the week.

Both LeBron and Luka Doncic came close to recording 30-point triple-doubles in this game, but they did both hit the 30-point mark for the second-straight game. The fit between these two superstars this quickly has been impressive and has resulted in eight consecutive wins for the Lakers. James seems to have once again taken a trip to the fountain of youth, and he has provided top five value in nine-cat leagues over the past two weeks. They’ll wrap up the week in Boston on Saturday.

After missing Los Angeles’ last two games with a calf strain, Reaves returned to the lineup on Thursday. Unfortunately, he wasn’t able to pick up where he left off prior to the injury. Before the game where he injured his calf, he had at least 20 points and five assists in four straight games. This was only the fourth time this season that Reaves scored less than 10 points, and it was the first time that he completed a game and didn’t dish out an assist. It was a frustrating first game back, and perhaps one that portends more rest. If able to play, Reaves will look to bounce back in Boston on Saturday.

Both of the Lakers’ superstars were listed as probable once again, so their availability doesn’t come as a surprise. They will look to guide the Lakers to an eighth-straight win on Thursday after combining for 64 points and 21 assists on Tuesday.

Jones Jr. will be back after a three-game absence. Kris Dunn and Bogdan Bogdanovic have both been starting recently, but there is a chance that DJJ replaces one of them as part of the opening group. If Jones Jr. comes off the bench, he will likely take away minutes from both Dunn and Bogdanovic.

Bogdanovic had his first game with at least 20 points since January 23. The 32-year-old shooting guard poured in 23 points and three 3-pointers in the Clippers’ win over the Pistons Wednesday. Bogdonavic should continue to start while Norman Powell is out with a hamstring injury, but his scoring hasn’t been consistent enough to recommend as a streamer.

Zubac extended his streak of double-doubles to six games. The 27-year-old center was coming off a monster night with a career-high 35 points in a loss to the Suns Tuesday. Zubac and the Clippers wouldn’t be denied against the Pistons Wednesday. A walking double-double, he’s been a top-50 fantasy player on the season.

Harden’s 50 points were the most he’s had in a game since putting on a Clippers uniform. The 35-year-old point guard torched the Pistons, though he did plenty of his damage from the free throw line. 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.

In addition to Norman Powell, the Clippers will be without Kawhi Leonard and Derrick Jones Jr. for Wednesday’s game. Bogdanovic will remain in the starting lineup, with Batum stepping in for Leonard. While Bogdanovic can provide solid value when allowed to start, Batum tends to be more important to the Clippers than fantasy managers.

Simmons is set to miss a third-straight game with a sore left knee. The 28-year-old point guard is no stranger to injuries, and his availability has been an issue already on his new team in Los Angeles. Amir Coffey will continue to play extra minutes with Simmons out but isn’t worth streaming.

Leonard won’t play the second night of the Clippers’ back-to-back, which shouldn’t come as a surprise at all. Depending on the availability of Derrick Jones Jr., who has missed their last two games with a groin injury, Amir Coffey could move into the starting lineup. Leonard contributed 21 points, four rebounds, three assists, one steal, one block and one three-pointer in 37 minutes on Tuesday. He also had a nice dunk that should have fantasy managers and Clippers fans optimistic about his health, even if they’ll continue to exercise caution.

Hayes didn’t miss a shot on Tuesday, and the double-double was his second of the season. While adding Luka Doncic to the Lakers roster hasn’t improved Hayes’ fantasy value much, he has shot 80.4 percent from the field since February 10 (Luka’s Lakers debut). Despite being a starter, Hayes isn’t consistently productive as a scorer or rebounder, which has limited his value to fantasy managers.

Doncic’s time in Los Angeles has gone as well as anyone could have anticipated, and he joined a historic list on Tuesday. With his 30 points and 15 assists, Luka became the fourth player in franchise history to record that stat line in a game. The other three Lakers who accomplished that feat were Jerry West (nine times), Magic Johnson (22), and LeBron James (once). Doncic has been a top-10 player since the All-Star break and has shown no signs of slowing down.

James added another career milestone to his impressive résumé, becoming the first play in ABA/NBA history to score at least 50,000 points (regular season and playoffs). Even with the four turnovers, this was an efficient night for the Lakers forward, who has provided top-10 value in eight- and nine-cat formats since the All-Star break. LeBron has looked rejuvenated since the Lakers added Luka Doncic to the roster, and JJ Redick’s team has the look of a true contender in the Western Conference.

It wasn’t enough to end the Clippers’ losing streak, but Harden played well in the final game of their eight-game road trip. This was the third time this season that Harden was able to contribute at least 20 points and 15 assists in a game, and he only turned the ball over once. This was the sixth time this season that Harden had one or fewer turnovers in a game, and his 15 dimes were the most that he has had in any of those games. He’ll look to keep it up on the second night of this back-to-back as they head home to host Detroit.

Norman Powell (hamstring) is set to be revaluated around March 14, which means that Bogdanovic should remain in the starting lineup for at least five more games and could certainly remain in that role beyond that if Powell remains out. Bogi scored 13 points in the first half on Tuesday, but he wasn’t able to contribute any buckets after the break. It has been a down year for the veteran shooting guard, but this will be a great opportunity for him to get in rhythm before the postseason.

Zubac’s career night was spoiled by a fourth quarter collapse by the Clippers. Still, it was a monster night for him, and the Suns didn’t have an answer for him down low. He only missed three shots, and he led both teams in rebounds while extending his double-double streak to five games. Zubac has been an elite asset in fantasy basketball this season and ranks inside the top-50 in nine-cat scoring. The Clippers have three more games this week, with the Pistons up next on Wednesday.

Knecht reached double figures for the second time since his failed trade to the Hornets sent him back to the Lakers. The 19 points were the most he’s scored in a game since January 28. While Knecht still hasn’t reached the point where he should be rostered in most fantasy leagues, there are opportunities to produce. The Lakers are without Rui Hachimura and Austin Reaves, so someone has to step up alongside Luka Doncic and LeBron James.

LeBron entered Sunday 18 points from 50,000 (regular season and postseason) for his career. He fell one point shy of that historic milestone, as efficiency was an issue. In addition to the subpar shooting night, James was responsible for eight turnovers. That’s the second-highest tally he’s had this season (11), and he’s averaged 5.7 turnovers per game since the All-Star break. However, LeBron has still provided top-15 value in nine-cat formats during this stretch.

While describing Doncic’s transition to the Lakers as seamless wouldn’t be completely accurate, he’s getting more comfortable by the game with his new team. The lone issue for Luka on Sunday was the turnover count (six), but the overall stat line minimized the impact of that category.

Harden struggled in both of the Clippers’ road losses to the Lakers, shooting 9-of-36 from the field. The positive for fantasy managers is that he kept the turnovers in check, committing three after racking up six two nights prior. A top 20 player in eight-cat formats since the All-Star break, Harden has only been a top-75 player in nine-cat thanks to an average of 5.3 turnovers per game. Fantasy managers know what they’re getting with Harden; the hope is that the positives outweigh the negatives. That didn’t happen on Sunday.

Dunn’s steals production was lackluster on Sunday compared to prior games, as he only recorded one. However, the Clippers guard has reached double figures in scoring in three of his last four games. With Norman Powell injuring his hamstring in his first game back from a sore knee, Dunn may be locked into his place in the Clippers’ starting lineup for the foreseeable future.
