Tuesday’s game will be the sixth that Vukčević has missed due to a strained left hamstring. While his absence does not affect fantasy basketball, it does leave the Wizards down two bigs since Marvin Bagley III (back) is also out. Anthony Gill played seven minutes in Saturday’s loss to the Hornets. He is not worth streaming.

While Riley should have value during the silly season, Justin Champagnie is the preferred streamer if Middleton remains out. Despite coming off the bench, Champagnie logged 32 minutes on Saturday.

Dunn sprained his ankle late in the second quarter of Sunday’s blowout victory, heading back to the locker room to receive treatment. While he remained in uniform and was not declared done for the night, the Clippers’ guard did not play during the second half. Given the nature of the game, there was no need to risk putting Dunn back in. Kobe Sanders started the third quarter, finishing with nine points, three rebounds, two assists and one steal in 30 minutes.

While Miller may not be on the radar for most fantasy managers, his consistent production has earned him a spot in the rotation. The third-year wing has reached double figures in seven straight and eight of his last nine appearances, the most productive stretch of his career to date. Rostered in 10 percent of Yahoo! leagues, Miller has been a top-75 player in eight- and nine-cat formats over the past two weeks. The Clippers’ three-game Week 15 schedule isn’t great, but he may be worth a look in deep leagues, especially if Kris Dunn (ankle) is limited or has to miss a game.

Harden’s perfect night at the foul line pumped up the points tally, with the overall production being solid. More problematic than the 3-of-8 shooting from the field were the five turnovers, as The Beard has been responsible for 18 over his last three games. While that isn’t an issue for managers competing in eight-cat formats or punting turnovers, it would be nice for Harden to clean up that category during the Clippers’ three-game Week 15.

Leonard is still on a minutes restriction, and he played the first few minutes of the fourth quarter to hit his threshold before checking out for the night. The good news for fantasy managers is that the Clippers’ forward provided good value while on the court, and that’s usually the case for Leonard, regardless of any restrictions he may be under. The Clippers play three games in Week 15, and a Sunday/Monday back-to-back caps it. As a result, this could be a two-game week for Leonard, depending on how his playing time is managed.

He was limited to 25 minutes in Thursday’s win over the Lakers, and the Clippers’ forward may be under a similar restriction on Sunday. Kobe Sanders will get solid minutes off the bench, but the rookie does not need to be rostered in redraft leagues.

In addition to the left knee contusion that sidelined him for three games before his return on Thursday, Leonard is under the weather going into the Clippers’ final game of Week 14.

Sarr wasn’t particularly efficient with 24 points on 19 field goal attempts, but he did lead the Wizards in scoring on Saturday. The 20-year-old center has been excellent on the defensive end, though, as he recorded at least one steal and at least one block for the third consecutive game. Sarr has provided eighth-round per game value over the last two weeks. The Wizards have a four-game week coming up, beginning against the Trail Blazers on Tuesday.

Khris Middleton missed Saturday’s game with a foot injury with Will Riley replacing him in the starting lineup. Champagnie outplayed Riley, though, and ended up playing more minutes off the bench. The 24-year-old shooting guard had a double-double with 15 points and 11 rebounds in 32 minutes. Champagnie has provided eighth-round per game value over the last two weeks, showing he has some fantasy value in the sixth man role with the Wizards.

Back in action after a three-game absence, Leonard was limited to 25 minutes on Thursday. He made the most of his time on the floor, averaging nearly one point per minute and finishing a blocked shot shy of a complete stat line. With the Clippers not having a back-to-back until the end of Week 15, hopefully that means Leonard will be able to get into a rhythm and not worry about taking an injury management night. Kobe Sanders came off the bench on Thursday, finishing with 11 points (4-of-6 FGs), four rebounds, one assist, one steal and three three-pointers in 24 minutes.

For the first time since late November, Zubac has hit double digits in rebounds in five consecutive games. The 19 boards accumulated on Thursday weren’t a career-high, but they were a season-high for the 7-footer. Decreased scoring production has negatively affected Zubac’s fantasy value this season, but there have also been decreases in rebounds, steals and blocked shots. While he remains a top-100 player in eight- and nine-cat formats, Zubac’s fantasy ceiling has been lower than many expected.

While Harden finished with a double-double and solid production in the rebound category, fantasy managers took a beating from an efficiency standpoint. In addition to a 6-of-21 night from the field, the Clippers’ point guard recorded seven turnovers. Over his last two games, Harden has been responsible for 16 assists and 13 turnovers. While the track record shows that high-turnover nights are going to happen because of Harden’s usage, combining that with a supbar shooting night can be challenging for some fantasy managers to overcome.

The rookie hasn’t been able to produce consistently, but he has had a few solid scoring performances in his first season. This was his sixth time scoring in double figures this year and the second time in his last five games. By no means should he be rostered in standard leagues, but he certainly is worth stashing in dynasty formats.

Though the inefficient shooting remained, it has been a strong stretch of games for George. He is averaging 21 points, 7.2 rebounds, 5.4 assists, 1.4 steals and 2.2 triples over his last five games. He ranks inside the top 100 in nine-category leagues this season, but during this stretch, he is inside the top 25. He’ll look to stay hot in Charlotte on Saturday to wrap up the week.

Carrington remained in the starting lineup for a fourth straight game, and while he was inefficient, he was able to pour in more counting stats. This time, it was the defensive production that set him apart. Carrington’s never been a great source of steals and blocks, but he was able to provide an unexpected boost in this game. Managers shouldn’t expect that to continue, but he has played 38.3 minutes per game over his last four games as a starter, which is an encouraging sign for his value.

While his fantasy value has remained relatively low, Johnson’s status as a starter gives him some appeal during the “silly season.” The rookie guard shot 3-of-6 from three and did not commit a turnover in Monday’s defeat.

Due to Trae Young’s continued absence, Carrington’s opportunities have not been an issue for fantasy managers. And that may make him worth the risk ahead of the “silly season.” A 39 percent shooter from the field over the past week, Carrington was considerably better than that on Monday. Add in the rebounds and assists, and Monday’s performance was a good one for the second-year guard.

Since returning from a sprained ankle, Zubac has hit double digits in rebounds in five of the eight games he’s played.
