Zubac extended his double-double streak to nine games, though it wasn’t enough to add another win for the Clippers. Zubac’s best categories this season have been rebounds, blocks and field goal percentage, all of which were on full display on Tuesday. However, he was also able to provide some dimes as a bonus. He didn’t reach his season-high of six assists, but this was the seventh time that he has had at least five assists in a game this year. Zubac has played 39 minutes per game over their last four games, which will only increase his fantasy ceiling.

After knocking down the game-winning shot at the buzzer on Sunday, Leonard was able to build on that momentum against New Orleans. It didn’t extend their win streak, but Leonard had one of his most productive games of the season. Leonard is continuing to take strides and progress back to being a dominant wing player, but the one limitation in fantasy basketball continues to be availability. Unfortunately, this was the first leg of a back-to-back for the Clippers, so managers should expect Leonard to not be available against Miami on Wednesday.

Though the turnovers and poor field goal percentage will continue to limit Harden’s overall value in nine-cat formats, he has been on quite the tear recently. Over the Clippers’ last five games, Harden has averaged 30.4 points, 5.2 rebounds, 11 assists and four three-pointers per game. He has two games with at least 15 assists, four games with at least 25 points and one 50-point game during that stretch. Harden’s 17 assists also tied his season-high. He’s limited by two categories, but he has been fantastic in the others.

Booker has scored at least 24 points in his last three games. The 28-year-old shooting guard turned the ball over five times, which has been an issue lately. He’s had at least four turnovers in six of his last eight games while Booker has also had at least five assists in 13 of his last 14 games, both being a product of more time spent as an on-ball playmaker. He’s been a top-20 fantasy player since the All-Star break.

Durant has scored at least 29 points in three of his last four games. The 36-year-old small forward has been a scoring machine since the All-Star break. He’s provided top-20 fantasy value on the season and isn’t in danger of being shutdown during the fantasy playoffs, which is critical to fantasy managers.

For the second time in his career, Leonard made a legitimate buzzer-beater to give his team the win. However, three-point shooting remains an issue for the Clippers forward. Leonard shot 1-of-7 from beyond the arc on Sunday, dropping to 3-of-19 over his last three games. Due to the perimeter shooting struggles, he has made just 38.6 percent of his field goal attempts over the past week. Fantasy managers hope Sunday’s finish will serve as a catalyst for Leonard as the Clippers open a four-game Week 19 in New Orleans on Tuesday.

Harden has scored 20 points or more in four straight games, his longest streak since late November. The Beard has provided excellent fantasy value since the All-Star break in eight-cat formats, ranking 13th according to Basketball Monster. While the turnover count can be problematic for fantasy managers competing in nine-cat leagues, Harden’s overall production compensates for that on most nights.

Zubac last failed to record a double-double on February 23, extending his streak to eight straight games. Since the All-Star break, the Clippers center has provided top-25 value in nine-cat formats. Zubac has exceeded all expectations regarding fantasy basketball, and there’s no reason to believe that won’t continue. The Clippers play four games during Week 19, but the fantasy playoff schedule leaves a bit to be desired.

After providing limited value in his return from a groin injury on Friday, Jones was productive in his 28 minutes off the bench Sunday night. The 17 points are the most he’s scored in a game since February 4, when he hit that number in a loss to the Lakers. Jones, rostered in six percent of Yahoo! leagues, heads into Week 19 ranked well outside the top 150 in eight- and nine-cat formats. Even if the Clippers were to move him back into the starting lineup, there wouldn’t be much to gain from rostering Jones. Nicolas Batum remained in the starting five on Sunday and finished with nine points, four rebounds, one block and three three-pointers in 28 minutes.

After hosting the Kings on Sunday, the Clippers will hit the road for a three-game trip that begins Tuesday night in New Orleans. Simmons, who will miss a fifth-straight game on Sunday, will not travel due to left knee injury management. His absence does not significantly impact fantasy basketball, but it frees up additional minutes for Amir Coffey.

Beal made good use of his opportunities on Sunday, but he’s the clear third option behind Devin Booker and Kevin Durant. That makes his efficiency even more critical, and Beal was good as both a scorer and playmaker on Sunday. He’s ranked just outside the top 75 in eight- and nine-cat formats since the All-Star break, and this may represent Beal’s ceiling for the rest of the season.

Since the All-Star break, Durant has failed to score 20 points or more on just two occasions. The Suns forward has maintained his elite season-long value by providing top-20 fantasy value in eight- and nine-cat formats. With the Suns still fighting to crack the West’s top 10, playing time won’t be an issue for the team’s stars down the stretch. Fantasy managers should get full value from Durant during the playoff weeks.

Booker got off to a slow start Sunday afternoon, scoring six points on 3-of-9 shooting during the first half. He was better after the intermission, finishing as one of three Suns with at least 19 points. While turnovers have been problematic for Booker since the All-Star break (3.4 per game), he only committed one against the Mavericks. The Suns play four games during Week 19, starting with the Grizzlies on Monday in Memphis.

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.

After three consecutive games in which he scored just 17 points, Booker exploded on Friday night in Denver. He’s scored 30 points or more on three occasions since the All-Star break, but the assist production stands out. As one of the top 20 players in eight-cat formats, Booker has averaged 8.0 assists per game since the break. The decision to replace Tyus Jones with Bradley Beal has raised Booker’s fantasy ceiling, as he’s spending more time on the ball as a playmaker. And that has to please those who have him rostered heading into the fantasy playoffs.

Durant has scored 26 points or more in three straight and five of his last six outings. Included in Friday’s performance was a corner three at the buzzer to force overtime. Since the All-Star break, the 15-time All-Star has been a top 20 player in eight- and nine-cat formats. Durant has been a top-10 player in both formats this season, exceeding his Yahoo! ADP of 19. Clearly, the 36-year-old sniper still has plenty left in the tank.

After aggravating a prior calf injury during Tuesday’s win over the Clippers, Beal offered limited value in Friday’s overtime defeat. While fantasy managers should be pleased with the nine assists, the point total was underwhelming. Beal’s availability meant less time on the court for Tyus Jones, who logged 14 minutes and finished with six points, one rebound, five assists, one steal and two three-pointers. Hopefully, for the sake of those who have Beal rostered, he can use Sunday’s game in Dallas as an opportunity to get back on track.

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.

Phoenix trailed by 19 points entering the fourth quarter, and Durant only had 15 points. However, he nearly outscored the Clippers in the fourth to lead the Suns to a much-needed comeback win. Phoenix is now currently only three games out of the Play-In Tournament, but with Kyrie Irving (knee) done for the season, Dallas will likely fall out of that spot. If Durant continues to play like this, Phoenix should be able to make the postseason despite an incredibly rough year from them. He’ll look to carry this momentum into a matchup in Denver on Friday.

12 of Gillespie’s 15 minutes came in the fourth quarter of Tuesday’s win, and that’s when he made his mark. All of his stats except one assist came in the final frame as he helped the Suns outscore the Clippers 43-22 in the fourth. Gillespie took on a larger role after Bradley Beal (groin) exited early, and his heroics ended up giving Phoenix the win. Gillespie knocked down a massive three-pointer late in the fourth that gave them a five-point lead late that they never relinquished. A performance like this could earn Gillespie more minutes, though he remains on a two-way contract, which makes him a risky player to roster.

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.

However, availability remains a concern for the guard, who has already missed 19 games this season.
