Bogdanović will miss a fourth straight game with a left hip contusion. While his absence does not affect fantasy basketball, it does leave the Clippers with one less option on the wing. Kobe Sanders played 17 minutes off the bench in Tuesday’s loss to the Lakers, and he may take on a similar workload on Friday. There’s no need to roster him in redraft leagues.

After playing 26 minutes in his first game back from foot and ankle injuries that sidelined him for nearly three weeks, Leonard’s playing time received a slight bump on Tuesday. He finished a blocked shot shy of a complete stat line and is providing top-10 value in nine-cat formats. Production has not been Leonard’s issue, but availability has. With the Clippers ending Week 6 with a Friday/Saturday back-to-back, he’ll likely be on the sideline for one of those two games.

Offensively, Tuesday’s performance was Collins’s best since moving into the starting lineup on November 10. The 18 points were one shy of his season-high, and he ended a nasty streak in the assist category. His assist against the Lakers was the first for Collins since moving into the starting lineup, a stunning lack of production, even if he isn’t a point guard. Collins is still rostered in 77 percent of Yahoo! leagues, which is more about his reputation entering the season than his production. Hopefully, Tuesday’s performance will be the catalyst the veteran forward needs.

As expected, Harden once again led the way offensively for the Clippers. While all five starters finished in double figures, there were no other 20-point scorers as the Clippers fell to 5-13. The only negative for Harden right now is the turnover category. He recorded five turnovers on Tuesday and is averaging 3.8 per game on the season. However, despite that high number, he’s still providing first-round value in 12-team formats. The Clippers end Week 6 with a Friday/Saturday back-to-back.

He received his first for pushing the basketball into Luka Dončić’s chest, and a second for a mix-up with Jaxson Hayes. Hayes, who pushed Dunn from beyond after the Dončić incident, was assessed a technical foul. Dunn finished with 19 points (8-of-15 FGs), three assists, one steal and three three-pointers.

After a slow start to the season, Bane continues to make his way up the rankings. Over the past two weeks, he has provided top-50 value in nine-cat formats, and the season-long value is approaching top-100 status. Bane has recorded at least five assists in five straight games, and the improved production in that category is one reason why his overall fantasy value has improved.

Wagner didn’t have to extend himself too far on Tuesday, as the Magic were able to sit their key players for most of the second half. Over the past two weeks, he has been a sixth-round player in nine-cat formats, with the production being slightly lower than Wagner’s season-long value. While Franz’s season-long production hasn’t aligned with his Yahoo! ADP (36), he isn’t far off. Next up for Orlando is a matchup with the Pistons on Friday, with the winner advancing to the NBA Cup quarterfinals.

Orlando grabbed control of Tuesday’s game with a 51-point second quarter, and Black was in the middle of it all. He scored 27 points in the first half, establishing a career-high for points in a half. He would finish with his first career 30-point game and sat out most of the second half due to Orlando pushing its lead out to 46 points. Jalen Suggs, who was ejected late in the second quarter, should be available for Friday’s crucial NBA Cup matchup with the Pistons, so Black will come off the bench for that one.

After a modest showing in Saturday’s win over the Hornets, Zubac recorded one of his best stat lines of the season in Cleveland. He finished two rebounds shy of a 30/20 game while posting excellent percentages from the field and the foul line. Zubac did not record any defensive stats, but he began Sunday averaging 0.5 steals and 0.9 blocks per game, so that wasn’t too surprising.

Sunday’s game was the first for Leonard since November 3, so no one was surprised that his minutes were limited. There was some concern when he went back to the locker room less than two minutes into the game, but Leonard was back on the court shortly thereafter and logged 27 minutes. If he’s hitting the high-20s in minutes despite the restriction, that’s good news for those who have Leonard rostered. The Clippers play three games during Week 6, but they have a Friday/Saturday back-to-back, so Kawhi may be limited to two appearances.

The Magic looked extremely sluggish on the second night of a back-to-back after a late arrival into Boston and playing without offensive catalyst Paolo Banchero for the sixth straight game while he continues recovering from a groin strain. Their struggles came mostly on the defensive end of the floor as they allowed the Celtics to shoot over 60 percent from the floor. Wagner took just 10 shots on the heels of a 37-point explosion during Saturday’s impressive win over the Knicks but managed to get to the line for eight free throw attempts to help salvage his night. The Magic have just two games this upcoming week with road matchups on tap against the 76ers and Pistons.
