Poeltl has not appeared in a game since December 21, and it’s unknown when that will change. With that being the case, now is a good time to add Collin Murray-Boyles if he’s sitting on the waiver wire. Sandro Mamukelashvili is another suitable option, but he does not offer CMB’s ceiling in category leagues.

Ingram will miss a second consecutive game with a sprained right thumb. Ja’Kobe Walter started Friday’s loss to the Celtics, but Scottie Barnes’ return could bump the second-year guard to the bench.

Barnes is back after a one-game absence. Sandro Mamukelashvili replaced him in the starting lineup, but the Raptors could choose to start both since RJ Barrett and Brandon Ingram are out. Even if he comes off the bench, Mamu will play quality minutes.

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. The Clippers have three games on tap next week including matchups against the Hornets, Wizards and Raptors.

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. The 28-year-old big man delivered an impressive all-around stat sheet stuffing performance in this one with eight stocks — five steals and three blocks — to help fuel Los Angeles’ second-half comeback. He’s supplied first-round fantasy value over the past two weeks, averaging 17.6 points, 6.1 boards, 0.4 assists, 1.3 steals and 2.1 blocks over his last seven games.

Harden did most of his damage in the second half, scoring 14 of his 19 points in the final two quarters, after Los Angeles got off to an agonizingly slow start in this road matchup. The managed to salvage an abysmal shooting performance on the second night of a back-to-back by getting to the line a whopping 11 times. It’s been another vintage Harden season so far as he’s averaging 25.6 points, 4.8 rebounds, 7.9 assists, 1.3 steals and 0.3 blocks through 35 games.

For the third straight time, Leonard will be available for both games of a Clippers back-to-back. While Jordan Miller misses out on a chance to start, he may play a bit more if the Clippers look to manage Leonard’s playing time.

Ingram did not play in Friday’s loss to the Celtics, with Ja’Kobe Walter moving into the starting lineup. Walter would likely retain that role if Ingram remains out, and he would be worth the streaming risk in deep leagues.

Barnes did not play in Friday’s loss to the Celtics, resulting in Sandro Mamukelashvili moving into the starting lineup alongside Collin Murray-Boyles. If Barnes can play on Sunday, Mamu could potentially remain in the starting lineup since RJ Barrett (ankle) is out.

Poeltl has not appeared in a game since December 21, and updates have been scarce since he was cleared for contact on January 5. The Raptors will continue to rely on Collin Murray-Boyles and Sandro Mamukelasvhili, with the former offering a higher fantasy ceiling.

Barrett exited Friday’s loss to the Celtics during the latter stages of the fourth quarter. With Brandon Ingram and Scottie Barnes listed as questionable, the Raptors could be severely shorthanded on Sunday. Ja’Kobe Walter and Ochai Agbaji will see their minutes increase with Barrett unavailable.

After scoring 26 points on Friday, Leonard will be questionable for the second leg of the Clippers’ back-to-back. Kawhi has played in their last two back-to-backs, and if he is unavailable for this game, Jordan Miller has a good chance to start after scoring 21 points in 27 minutes on Friday.

Leonard played through a sprained ankle and had 26 points and four threes in the win over the Nets on Friday. The season is slipping away for the Clippers at 14-23, 11th in the Western Conference. Leonard’s availability for Saturday’s game against the Pistons could be in question as he’s dealing with the ankle injury and it’s the second night of a back-to-back.

Harden put the Clippers on his back Friday, leading the team with 31 points. The 36-year-old point guard impressively and effortlessly carved up the Nets defense, shooting 10-of-13 from the field. That will help make up for his 6-of-17 game against the Knicks earlier this week. Harden is 18th-overall in per game value this year. The Clippers will be in Detroit Saturday as they take on the Pistons on the second night of a back-to-back.

Quickley has shouldered more of the offensive workload for the injury-plagued Raptors, who were without a trio of key contributors in this one with Scottie Barnes (knee), Brandon Ingram (thumb) and Jakob Poeltl (back) all on the shelf. They also lost RJ Barrett to an apparent left ankle injury during the late stages of the fourth quarter. The speedy 26-year-old guard dished out a season-high 13 helpers but it still wasn’t enough. He should see an uptick in creation opportunities and three-point attempts with Barnes, Ingram and Barret out of the mix, which provides a short-term boost to his fantasy appeal. The Raptors are back in action with back-to-back contests against the 76ers starting on Sunday night.

The absence of several key contributors due to injuries should lead to increased touches and creation possessions for Walter moving forward, which provides an immediate boost to his fantasy profile. The 21-year-old lacks significant scoring upside on a consistent basis, but the opportunities are there on a short-term basis with RJ Barrett (ankle), Scottie Barnes (knee), Brandon Ingram (thumb) and Jakob Poeltl (back) all dealing with injuries. He’s worthy of a speculative roster spot in deeper fantasy leagues.

Barrett injured his left ankle during the fourth quarter of Friday’s game and was ruled out late in the period. He finished with 19 points (6-of-15 FGs, 4-of-4 FTs), four rebounds, seven assists and three three-pointers. More will be learned about the severity of Barrett’s injury on Saturday, and the Raptors were without Brandon Ingram and Scottie Barnes for Friday’s game.
