Batum tallied a season-high in points and three-pointers on Thursday to help the Clippers win their sixth straight game. The veteran forward has mostly become a spot-up three-point shooter at this stage of his career and continues to shoot them efficiently. He likely won’t add much fantasy value if his three-point shot isn’t dropping on high volume, but he’ll likely be available as a streaming option in fantasy leagues for those in dire need of three-point production.

Harden logged a solid performance in his 29 minutes on Thursday, leading the Clippers in assists and finishing as one of two players to score at least 20 points. Harden was one of four starters not to log any fourth-quarter minutes, as Kawhi Leonard’s 20-point takeover in the final frame allowed the Clippers to open up a big lead and rest several key players. With the additional rest, fantasy managers will hope Harden can land a big performance on Saturday against the Celtics.

Leonard’s dominance continued on Thursday, recording his third straight game with at least 30 points, and his third time scoring 40 points or more over his last five appearances. A season-high six three-pointers keyed his success against Utah, as he hit four in the fourth quarter en route to tallying 20 points in the final frame. Leonard, a two-time Defensive Player of the Year Award winner, also combined for four stocks before checking out for the final time. He remains one of the hottest players in the league and will have a chance to continue his dominance on Saturday against the Celtics.

Zubac injured his ankle during a December 20 win over the Lakers and was given a three-week timeline to return. For him to progress to on-court work is a step in the right direction, but the timeline has not changed. Brook Lopez will remain the starter in Zubac’s absence, with Yanic Konan Niederhäuser filling in as the backup.

While left hip tightness forced an early exit from the Clippers’ December 26 win in Portland, Bogdanović has missed the first three games of the team’s five-game homestand due to left hamstring injury management. Not only will he miss the final two games, but there’s no guarantee that he’ll be available when the Clippers hit the road on January 7 against the Knicks. According to the team, Bogdanović is “undergoing a process to address the residual weakness in the left hamstring hip area.”

Holiday has been out for over a month with a calf injury, but appears to be inching closer to a return. His exact timeline will “be determined based on functional response to loading and updated accordingly.” There’s a chance he’s back on the court as early as next week, which would mean Sidy Cissoko moves back to a smaller role in the rotation.

Sharpe struggled with his efficiency on Wednesday, tallying nearly as many missed shots as he had points — zero made three-pointers, and limited production from the free-throw line led to the fourth-year guard’s lowest points total of December. He’s struggled as a scorer against OKC in the three matchups with them this season, but fortunately for Sharpe’s fantasy managers, Portland and OKC won’t face each other again this regular season. He’ll shift his focus to Friday’s game against the Pelicans.

Deni Avdija was production on Wednesday fell below his standard. Still, he had a well-rounded performance to end the calendar year, finishing as the Trail Blazers’ leader in rebounds and assists on the night, while tallying the second-most points. Turnovers brought his fantasy production down, however — he had seven of them. But he’ll have a chance to get back on track on Friday in New Orleans against the Pelicans.

Cissoko led all Trail Blazers in scoring despite logging just 27 minutes. The majority of his fantasy value on the night came as a three-point shooter, where he set a new season-high in makes. The third-year guard has consistently played a sizable role for this Blazers team of late. With Jrue Holiday and Scoot Henderson still out of the lineup due to injuries, there’s a chance Cissoko remains a starter moving forward.

Murray will be back after a one-game absence. With Jerami Grant (Achilles) still out, Murray will return to the starting unit. That will push Sidy Cissoko to the bench, though neither Murray nor Cissoko are worth streaming as starters.

Before the Clippers lost Ivica Zubac to a sprained ankle, Niederhäuser’s opportunities were limited, with the rookie hitting double digits in minutes just twice in his first 12 appearances. He’s slotted in as Brook Lopez’s backup, and the first-round pick out of Penn State had the best night of his young career on Tuesday. Niederhäuser recorded new highs in points and rebounds, shooting 75 percent from the field. While he still isn’t at the point where he should be rostered in redraft leagues, Niederhäuser’s performance against the Kings was promising for those who have him in dynasty formats.

The Clippers did not require much from Harden on Tuesday, as they were never challenged in the 131-90 victory. As a result, his stat line was modest in comparison to what fantasy managers have grown accustomed to. The good news for Harden managers, especially those competing in nine-cat formats, is that he did not commit a turnover, the first time that has happened this season. The Clippers end Week 11 with home games against the Jazz and Celtics on Thursday and Saturday.

Collins returned to the Clippers’ lineup on Tuesday after missing Sunday’s win over the Pistons with an illness. And he continues to perform well, providing third-round value in eight-cat formats over the past two weeks. Tuesday’s game was the second for Derrick Jones Jr. (8/1/3/2/1 with one three-pointer) since returning from a knee injury, and he played 20 minutes off the bench to Collins’ 22. Tuesday’s blowout affected the minutes split, but fantasy managers should watch for it when the Clippers face more formidable opponents.

Two days removed from scoring a career-high 55 points, Leonard had 30 points through the first three quarters on Tuesday. Unlike the Pistons, the Kings offered little resistance to the Clippers throughout the 131-90 defeat, so Kawhi’s night was done with just over seven minutes remaining in the fourth quarter. Over the past week, he has been the most valuable player in fantasy basketball, and Leonard is a top-five player for the season.

As a player on a two-way contract, Love can only be active for 50 NBA games. Monday was the 25th for the rookie out of Arizona, and there may come a point soon when Portland has to consider giving him a standard deal. Active for the Trail Blazers’ last 22 games, Love has scored in double figures in four straight. He finished two points shy of his season-high on Monday while matching his previous high with six three-pointers. Love still doesn’t offer much overall fantasy value, so there’s no need to add him. But he may be on his way to earning added job security before this season concludes.

For the second time this month, Clingan has recorded double-doubles in consecutive games. While the stat line against the Mavericks did not include any defensive stats, the second-year center shot 80 percent from the field and made multiple three-pointers for the third time in five games. Over the past two weeks, Clingan has provided seventh-round value in eight-cat formats, and he’s been close to a top-25 player for managers punting free-throw percentage. Portland has three more games on its Week 11 schedule, starting with the Thunder on Wednesday.

Sharpe has scored at least 21 points in eight of his last nine appearances for the Trail Blazers, his most consistent stretch since early November. The Trail Blazers guard has been close to a top-50 player in eight-cat formats over the past three weeks. While foul shooting has been an issue, with Sharpe making 65.5 percent of his attempts, he’s shot nearly 50 percent from the field during this run. That’s good news for the Trail Blazers and those who have the athletic guard rostered.

Avdija, who finished one rebound shy of his third triple-double of the season, continues to make a strong case for a spot in February’s All-Star Game. The Trail Blazers’ forward, who has taken on primary playmaker responsibilities, is averaging 25.6 points, 7.2 rebounds, 6.9 assists and 2.3 three-pointers per game while shooting 46.9 percent from the field and 79.1 percent from the foul line. Turnovers have been the lone issue for Avdija, as he’s averaging nearly four per game and committed six on Monday. However, the overall production has been excellent in a breakout campaign for Avdija.

Sunday’s game was the first for Jones since November 16, as a sprained right MCL sidelined him. “Airplane Mode” was under a minutes restriction and John Collins (illness) was unavailable, so there isn’t too much to learn from Sunday’s game regarding how the power forward minutes will be divided in the future. Nicolas Batum (12/4/1/1 with four three-pointers) filled in for Collins and played 31 minutes against the Pistons. A lot more will be learned about the Clippers’ power forward rotation if Collins is available on Tuesday against the Kings.

Harden didn’t have his best night shooting the basketball, but that can happen when the ball is in your hands at the end of the shot clock consistently. He kept the turnovers in check, committing three, and The Beard was perfect at the foul line. Over the past two weeks, Harden has only been a fourth-round player in eight- and nine-cat formats, thanks to his shooting 40.5 percent from the field. He’ll look to clean that up during a three-game Week 11 that begins on Tuesday against the Kings.

Let’s get the negative out of the way right now: Leonard’s streak of made free throws ended at 64 on Sunday. That was the only negative for the Clippers star, who enjoyed a historic night at the Pistons’ expense. Leonard tied the Clippers’ franchise single-game scoring record (James Harden set the original mark), and he joined Anthony Davis as the only players in league history to record at least 50 points, five steals and three blocks in a single game. Third quarters have been an issue for most of this season, but Kawhi solved that by scoring 26 of the Clippers’ 32 points in the frame (Detroit managed 27 points). The Clippers play three games in Week 11, starting with the Kings on Tuesday.

Sharpe was able to attack the rim throughout this one and also went 5-of-8 shooting from three-point range, serving as Portland’s primary offensive threat on a night where they committed a whopping 21 turnovers but still found a way to win. The fourth-year guard has been a borderline top-150 fantasy option this season, averaging 22.0 points, 4.4 rebounds, 2.4 assists, 1.5 steals and 0.2 blocks through 28 games. The Trail Blazers kick off a busy four-game week on Monday night against the Mavericks before hitting the road for matchups against the Thunder, Pelicans and Spurs.

Clingan was a force of nature on the glass against Boston’s lackluster frontcourt, pulling down seven offensive rebounds as part of a monster effort. The 21-year-old former lottery pick came up with a clutch offensive board in the closing seconds, converting a three-point play to give Portland a commanding four-point lead. He’s put together a strong stretch of late, averaging 13.3 points, 12.5 rebounds, 2.0 assists, 0.3 steals and 1.3 blocks over his past four games.

Avdija, who leads the league in free-throw attempts this season, went just 5-of-10 from the charity stripe in this one, but he was a big reason why Portland shook off a rocky start to put together an impressive win over one of the hottest teams in the league. He hit a clutch floater in the final minute to give Portland a four-point advantage and finished three rebounds shy of a triple-double. The 25-year-old has hit a bit of a rough patch recently but he’s still delivered top-60 fantasy value this season, averaging 25.5 points, 7.1 rebounds, 6.8 assists, 0.7 steals and 0.7 blocks through 32 games.

Lopez had his best game as a Clipper on Friday, setting new season-highs in points and three-pointers in his second start of the season. The veteran saw two triples drop early before following with three makes in the second quarter and four in the third. His four makes from beyond the arc in the third quarter were particularly impactful, as they helped flip the game and allowed the Clippers to come from behind and take a lead into the final period, which they would never relinquish. Lopez won’t sustain this type of production each game, but will surely have opportunities to be impactful while Ivica Zubac (ankle) is out of the lineup.

Unfortunately, the veteran center did not bring much production to the table. With Kawhi Leonard and James Harden on the floor, Lopez has a low ceiling, especially since he isn’t the lob threat that Zubac is.

Over the past two weeks, Harden has been a third-round player in eight-cat formats, with field-goal percentage being the culprit. He’s shot just 38.6 percent from the field during this stretch, nearly five percentage points lower than his number for the season (43.5).

Given how poorly the Clippers have played for most of this season, the general feeling going into Tuesday’s game was that they could be on the wrong end of a blowout.
