Collins was a late scratch for Wednesday’s win over the Wizards, with the Clippers ruling him out 30 minutes before tipoff. Rookie Kobe Sanders moved into the starting lineup and played 26 minutes, finishing with 11 points, one rebound and one three-pointer. While capable of the occasional standout performance, Sanders is not a must-stream player if Collins misses a second consecutive game.

Konan Niederhauser added another nice stat line in what’s been a solid rookie season thus far for him in limited action. He went perfect from the floor and had several highlight-worthy finishes at the rim throughout the game to tie a career-high in points. The rookie center also erased shots on the defensive end and showed off his athleticism. He’s currently the third center in the Clippers’ rotation, so it’s unlikely he’ll have fantasy value aside from nights when one of Ivica Zubac or Brook Lopez is sidelined. Nonetheless, he had a productive night in his 23 minutes.

Harden struggled with his shooting efficiency against the Wizards, but utilized the free-throw line to finish as one of two Clippers with at least 20 points. The former league MVP also led the team in assists on the evening and protected the basketball fairly well in the process. Harden has quietly shot inefficiently in the majority of his appearances during January. If he can find his rhythm again as a scorer, he’d likely see an uptick in his overall offensive numbers, which would equate to better fantasy basketball production.

Leonard wasn’t his usual efficient self on Wednesday, but still played well enough to extend his streak of 20-point games to 22 games and record a second consecutive 30-point outing in the process. His scoring was mostly a result of efficient three-point shooting — he’s now tallied at least four triples in four consecutive games. The free-throw line was also a factor on this night, and as usual, the former two-time Defensive Player of the Year used his active hands to collect several steals. The Clippers have now won four straight games, and Leonard is playing at an All-Star level.

Anunoby missed all six of his three-point attempts, contributing to an 8-of-41 night for the Knicks as a team. That ends a run of three consecutive games with at least two three-pointers. Even with Wednesday’s poor showing, Anunoby has shot 49.5 percent from the field over the past two weeks. Anunoby and the Knicks will look to end their road trip on a high note when they visit the Warriors on Thursday.

Towns and the Knicks had a night to forget in Sacramento. He didn’t shoot the ball well, with the one positive for fantasy managers being his steals. Towns’ five steals were a career-high, nearly double his tally in New York’s first six games of 2026. However, shooting just 41.2 percent from the field, KAT has been an eighth-round player in eight-cat formats over the past two weeks.

Bridges and the Knicks had a rough night shooting the basketball, as they were 8-of-41 from three and made just 39 percent of their attempts overall. His shot volume, which was boosted due to Jalen Brunson’s first-quarter exit, boosted the points tally, and Bridges did record a complete stat line. But the inefficient shooting was a disappointment. He’ll look to bounce back on Thursday against the Warriors.

Brunson injured his right ankle during the first quarter and returned to the locker room after exiting the game. He has since been ruled out for the rest of the night, with Tyler Kolek starting the third quarter. With the Knicks visiting the Warriors on Thursday, fantasy managers should anticipate seeing a lot of Kolek and Miles McBride.

In recent games, Clippers head coach Tyronn Lue has been more willing to give Miller and Kobe Sanders rotation minutes. On Monday, it was the former who stepped up, reaching double figures for the second time in three games. As for Sanders, he contributed eight points, three rebounds, one assist and two three-pointers against the Hornets. While neither Miller nor Sanders should be rostered in redraft leagues, injuries to Bogdan Bogdanović and Derrick Jones Jr. have freed up minutes for them.

Harden made some personal history during Monday’s game, and it can be argued that the way in which he did it was fitting. The Clippers’ guard made use of a ball screen, dribbling to his left and knocking down a three-pointer with 9:12 remaining in the third quarter to move into ninth on the NBA’s all-time points list. Harden, who passed Shaquille O’Neal, finished the victory with 32 points, the most in a game for him since scoring 34 in a December 26 win over the Trail Blazers.

Leonard put on a show during the third quarter, scoring 19 of his game-high 35 points.

According to Basketball Monster, he’s ranked second in eight- and nine-cat per-game value over the past month. Unfortunately for fantasy managers, the Clippers play only two more games in Week 13, but one is against the Wizards.

With the Knicks going 3-5 in the eight games he missed with a high ankle sprain, Hart’s return to action was certainly anticipated. And he got off to an excellent start, scoring eight points in his first stint on the floor.

Leonard, who has been playing through a lingering ankle issue, was the primary reason the Clippers were able to erase a near 20-point deficit after stumbling out of the gate on the second night of a back-to-back. Los Angeles got off to a sluggish start, scoring just 14 points in the opening quarter, but it was Leonard who led the way in the second half, scoring 14 of his 26 points in the final two quarters. The 34-year-old superstar has provided first-round value on a per-game basis this season, averaging 27.8 points, 6.4 rebounds, 3.5 assists, 2.2 steals and 0.7 blocks through 28 games.

It’s taken longer than originally anticipated but the Clippers have finally started to figure out how to incorporate Collins into their offense as he’s scored 18 points or more in four of his last six games since January 1.
