Initially listed as questionable, Murray is good to go for Thursday’s game. However, with it being the first of two games in as many nights for the Pelicans, fantasy managers should plan for the likelihood that Murray does not play against the Raptors on Friday. If Trey Murphy (ankle), who remains questionable for Thursday’s game, can’t play, Yves Missi could still make a spot start.

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. Mathurin’s offensive production off the bench is necessary for Los Angeles. Fantasy managers can expect him to remain in his role the rest of the way, with nightly scoring production being likely.

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.

Leonard’s streak of 20-point performances extended to 49 consecutive games on Wednesday after the Clippers defeated the Raptors by 25 points. He shot efficiently from the field, as he usually does, and found good production at the free-throw line along the way. Leonard’s defensive stats weren’t noteworthy in his 30 minutes of game action, but his impact was felt nonetheless. The two-time NBA champion hasn’t had many dominant performances lately. Yet, he’s remained a reliable contributor on a nightly basis from a fantasy basketball standpoint.

Due to right Achilles injury management, Murray is likely to miss one of New Orleans’ next two games due to the back-to-back. If he plays against the Pistons, fantasy managers should plan for the likelihood that he’ll sit the following night in Toronto. Yves Missi has been Murray’s replacement in the past. Still, with Trey Murphy (ankle) also questionable, Jeremiah Fears likely takes on a more prominent role if Murray and Murphy sit.

Williamson was able to lead the team in scoring once again, and he has now shot at least 70 percent from the floor in six straight games. Unfortunately, he hasn’t been as productive in other categories, which has limited his impact in category leagues. Still, he continues to play games, which is a huge development for him; he has only missed one game since returning from a six-game absence on Dec. 14. He’ll continue to pour in the efficient buckets with three more games on the schedule this week.

Fears has been coming off the bench since January, which has limited his impact. This was his third 20-point game since then, and it ended up being his highest field goal percentage in a game this year. The rookie has plenty of upside, so a performance like this is great to see. Fears isn’t a strong option in redraft formats, but he is incredibly valuable in dynasty leagues.

Murray had a rough shooting night in the loss, which led to a new season low for scoring. However, he set a new season high for assists and has averaged 10.7 dimes per game over his last three appearances. Murray has helped New Orleans get some wins late in the year after a rough start and has helped fantasy managers during the process. They have a back-to-back coming up on Thursday and Friday; expect Murray to sit one of those games.

Lopez displayed the type of floor spacing on Monday that those within the Bucks organization are very familiar with. The veteran center and former champion with the Bucks had a massive impact in the third quarter, when he netted four triples and recorded his only two blocks of the night. Lopez didn’t get a chance to test his hot hand in the fourth quarter because of the huge point differential between the two teams. However, he will look to stay hot against the Raptors on Friday.

Given the Clippers’ once-46-point lead, Garland’s playing time was relatively low on Monday. Specifically, he finished with 18 total minutes, his fewest as a Clipper. Still, the former NBA All-Star made the most of his time by sinking a few shots from deep and recording at least six assists for the ninth game in a row. Garland will almost certainly put up more productive numbers in more competitive games going forward. Regardless, he did what he could in the minutes that he earned on Monday.

A lopsided victory kept Leonard off the floor in the fourth quarter, limiting him to just 25 minutes in total. On the one hand, the lower minutes could be seen as beneficial for the two-time Finals MVP, who has been dealing with an ankle injury recently. On the other hand, his limited game action left him with fewer minutes to produce at a high level. He still nearly reached 30 points in his time on the floor and was active on the defensive end, but he’ll have a chance to put up even bigger numbers on Wednesday against the Raptors.

The Clippers will roll out a starting lineup on Monday without John Collins, who will miss the game with an ankle injury. Batum will fill in for the injured Collins to provide the same sort of length and physicality at the forward position from the opening tip. The Clippers recently defeated the Dallas Mavericks to end a four-game losing streak, and a win on Monday would keep them in eighth place in the Western Conference standings, as the regular season nears its completion.

While the Clippers may not have expected to require overtime to leave Dallas with a win, the tandem of Leonard and Darius Garland was at its best. The combined to score 75 of the team’s 122 points, with Leonard dropping 34 points and a complete stat line with excellent percentages.

Garland put on a show in Dallas, recording his first 40-point game since January 9, 2025. And he was efficient, shooting well over 50 percent from the field and dishing out 11 assists. Also, Garland played 39 minutes in the overtime victory, another step in the right direction for the point guard who’s struggled with toe injuries the last two seasons. The Clippers sat Garland for the second half of overtime, relying on Kawhi Leonard to serve as the closer.

With Dejounte Murray (Achilles) sidelined for the second night of this back-to-back, Missi got the starting nod. He took advantage of the opportunity by recording his first double-double since January and just his fourth of the season. Missi’s role has been too inconsistent for him to be worth rostering, but he is still capable of contributing when he gets the opportunity. The Pelicans have two more back-to-backs this season, so Missi could get two more starts.

Making the first start of his career, Miller was able to turn in a well-rounded line. He made up for a rough shooting night by getting to the line, and he was able to extend his double-digit scoring streak to three games.

He’ll likely return to the bench for their next game.

While much is made of Williamson’s lackluster three-point production and free-throw percentage in terms of his fantasy value, his limited defensive production has also been an issue in March. That was not the case on Friday, however, as the Pelicans’ forward recorded two blocked shots. In six appearances this month, Williamson has totaled three steals and two blocks. Given his athleticism, there may be some fantasy managers who hoped that some of that ability would translate to the defensive end of the floor. But at the very least, availability has not been a concern for Williamson, as he’s missed one game since mid-December.

While the Rockets managed to win the game, they never came up with a suitable answer to Murray defensively.
