LAC • Small Forward and Shooting Guard • #00

Mathurin posted solid percentages and was active on the glass, but it wasn’t enough to keep the Clippers from being outclassed by the red-hot Spurs. And after scoring four points on 2-of-7 shooting in Tuesday’s loss to the Trail Blazers, he needed to have a good Thursday night individually. The Clippers play once more in Week 23, on Sunday in Sacramento, and that’s a matchup in which Mathurin can flourish.

Mathurin was whistled for a technical during the first half after arguing over an uncalled foul, and that may have given the Clippers’ reserve a boost. He attempted 14 free throws after the tech, contributing to an efficient 28-point afternoon for Mathurin. Add in the rebounds, and this was a solid end to Week 22 for Mathurin. He’ll look to put together another solid offensive showing on Tuesday against the Trail Blazers.

Playing in Indiana for the first time since he was dealt to the Clippers in the Ivica Zubac trade, Mathurin struggled with his shot. He shot 1-of-5 from inside the arc, but Mathurin compensated for those struggles by getting to the foul line. The Clippers’ wing shot 75 percent from the charity stripe, with the 12 points on free throws boosting his points tally. Sunday’s game against the Bucks may be better for Mathurin, given the emotions associated with his return to Indiana on Friday.

Mathurin’s return from a four-game absence was a successful one, as he helped lead the Clippers to a third consecutive win. Per usual, the Clippers’ sixth man scored the ball well, with free-throw shooting being a primary reason. He also contributed as a passer and ultimately tied a team-high in assists. Mathurin’s offensive production off the bench is necessary for Los Angeles. Fantasy managers can expect him to remain in his role the rest of the way, with nightly scoring production being likely.

Mathurin will be back following a four-game absence with this toe injury. Kris Dunn and Jordan Miller have both taken on larger roles in his absence and will likely lose out on a few minutes with Mathurin back.

Mathurin sat out all three games of the Clippers’ road trip that concluded in Dallas on Saturday. He’ll remain out for at least one more game, resulting in more minutes for Kris Dunn and Jordan Miller. While neither player is a must-stream option, Dunn is worth a look for managers seeking defensive production.

Mathurin has been ruled out for the entirety of the Clippers’ upcoming three-game road trip that begins Wednesday against the Pelicans. The 23-year-old small forward is dealing with an injury to the big toe on his right foot. Whether Kawhi Leonard (ankle) plays on the upcoming road trip or not, John Collins will have a higher fantasy ceiling with Mathurin sidelined.

Mathurin came off the bench on Monday and concluded as one of the Clippers’ highest scorers on the evening. He was somewhat inefficient from the floor, got to the line often, and struggled from beyond the arc, things that have been consistent during his brief tenure as a Clipper. Still, he provides the team with real scoring upside and has continued to log heavy minutes for head coach Ty Lue. Given his workload, he’s got nightly potential to put up relevant performances as far as fantasy basketball is concerned.

Mathurin extended his streak of 20-point games to five on Saturday, and he may be thrust into a more prominent role to begin Week 21. Kawhi Leonard left Saturday’s game early in the fourth quarter after spraining his left ankle, which could rob the Clippers of their best player. Mathurin may not be a lock to start if Leonard misses time, but his scoring ability will be needed. The Clippers play four games in Week 21, starting with the Spurs on Monday.

Mathurin extended his streak of games with at least 20 points to four on Friday, and he did so while shooting over 50 percent from the field. And he did most of his damage after halftime, scoring 19 of his 26 points. Since the All-Star break, Mathurin has averaged 21.1 points per game on 44.8 percent shooting from the field. His category league ceiling is somewhat limited because of the lack of production in three-pointers and defensive stats, but Mathurin has been a solid option since joining the Clippers.

Mathurin continued his recent 20-point run with another solid showing against the Timberwolves, making it four of the last five games in which he’s exceeded that mark. The Clippers guard scored 10 of his 22 points from the foul line on Wednesday, and all that was missing from the final stat line was a blocked shot. The Clippers still have two more games in Week 20, which is good news for fantasy managers who have Mathurin on their roster.

Mathurin has scored at least 21 points in three of his last four games. The 28 points in Monday’s win were the most for him since dropping a season-high 38 on the Nuggets in the Clippers’ first game out of the All-Star break. Mathurin has been close to a top-100 player in eight-cat formats since the break, providing excellent value off the bench on most nights. With the Clippers’ remaining Week 20 schedule including games against the Bulls and Kings, there could be at least one more big night in Mathurin’s immediate future.

In addition to having scored 20 points or more in five of his 11 appearances as a Clipper, Mathurin recorded his first double-double for the team on Saturday. While the defensive production was modest, all that was missing from the wing’s stat line was a three-pointer, as Mathurin missed all three of his attempts. Despite coming off the bench on most nights, he’s been productive enough to provide late-round value in 12-team formats.

After putting up an efficient 23 points in Wednesday’s rout of the Pacers, Mathurin struggled in San Antonio. The eight points were the fewest in a game for the guard since joining the Clippers, and he entered Friday averaging 19.2 points in nine appearances. The overall body of work means that fantasy managers should not be too concerned about Mathurin, especially with the Clippers visiting the Grizzlies on Saturday.

Playing against the Pacers for the first time since being traded to the Clippers, Mathurin had an excellent night off the bench. The fourth-year guard shot the ball well from the field and the charity stripe while recording a complete stat line. Mathurin did his damage in 22 minutes, with his playing time being affected by the Clippers winning by a 130-107 final score. Since the trade, he’s averaged just over 29 minutes per game, so opportunities have not been hard to come by for Mathurin in his new home.

With no Kawhi Leonard or John Collins, Mathurin moved into the starting lineup for the first time since being traded to the Clippers. And given those absences, it appeared that he would be the offensive focal point. Unfortunately for Mathurin and those who were hoping he would have a big night, the Clippers wing ran into Jaden McDaniels. Mathurin struggled to get to his spots for most of the night, resulting in an inefficient night at the office.

The Clippers won’t have Kawhi Leonard or John Collins for Thursday’s game. Mathurin and Batum move into the starting lineup, with the former’s addition being far more impactful. Already rostered in most fantasy leagues, Mathurin should be the Clippers’ first scoring option with Leonard sidelined. Batum can provide three-pointers and steals, but the production has been limited this season.

Mathurin had a chance to win Sunday’s game, but his three-point attempt in the final seconds missed the mark. Conclusion aside, that doesn’t take away from the Clippers wing having another excellent night for his new team. Since being traded, Mathurin has averaged 22.2 points, 6.2 rebounds, 3.6 assists, 1.8 steals and 1.0 three-pointers in 30.2 minutes per game. That production has been good for fifth-round value in eight- and nine-cat formats, according to Basketball Monster. Those who held onto Mathurin must be thrilled that the Pacers included him in the Ivica Zubac trade, because he may not have had these opportunities in Indiana.

Mathurin followed up his 38-point home debut with another productive outing on Friday. He worked his way to the free-throw line consistently and, when he wasn’t at the stripe, shot relatively well from the floor. Mathurin eventually fouled out of this game during the fourth quarter, which left the Clippers without many scoring options after Kawhi Leonard (ankle) had already exited. If Leonard misses any time, Mathurin will likely function as the Clippers’ primary scorer.

Mathurin made quite the impression on Clippers fans in his home debut on Thursday, exploding for nearly 40 points off the bench while coming up big down the stretch to help secure victory. He shot very efficiently along the way to tying a career-high in points, and was great at the free-throw line as well. Mathurin also chipped in on the glass and tallied a few steals on the defensive end to round out what was a really good performance from him. He’ll take the floor again against the Lakers on Friday on the second game of a back-to-back.

Mathurin was held to just nine points in his debut for the Clippers, and while he still struggled with his shot in this game, he was able to get to the free throw line, which helped him score in double figures. He also finished with exactly three steals for a second straight game, which was never a strong category for him. Managers shouldn’t expect that to continue, but it has been a nice boost during his first two games as a Clipper.

Mathurin made his Clippers’ debut on Tuesday, coming off the bench and playing 26 minutes. While his shooting accuracy wasn’t good, Mathurin’s minutes and scoring opportunities were encouraging. Add in the rebounds, assists and steals, and there’s some room for optimism regarding Mathurin’s fantasy potential for the rest of this season. He isn’t a must-roster player yet, but keep an eye on him, starting with Wednesday’s rematch with the Rockets.

Mathurin and Jackson were dealt to LA as part of the trade that sent Ivica Zubac to the Pacers, and both will be available to debut for their new team against Houston. Mathurin could join the starting lineup immediately or, at the very least, operate as a microwave scorer off the bench. Jackson figures to see backup minutes at center behind Brook Lopez. Mathurin is worth rostering in standard fantasy leagues, but Jackson is not.

Mathurin will be the headliner back for the Clippers and will provide them with a young scorer with upside. When healthy this season, Mathurin was a high-level scorer in an increased role, and he should be able to keep that going with the Clippers. The former lottery pick was never able to develop into the player the Pacers hoped he would become, but he’ll get the chance to reach his potential on a Clippers team that is starting to pivot towards the future.

Mathurin and Nesmith join Andrew Nembhard (back), T.J. McConnell (knee) and Pascal Siakam (rest) on the sidelines for the second leg of a back-to-back set. The absence of Nesmith and Nembhard should mean more run for Ben Sheppard and Johnny Furphy.

Mathurin has dealt with a right thumb sprain and turf toe, which has limited him to 25 games this season. However, he returned on Monday and is averaging 17.7 points per game in 31.8 minutes this season. Considering the Pacers “are not eager to hand Mathurin a big restricted free agent extension” this offseason, they could look to trade the former lottery pick now or wait to complete a sign-and-trade in the offseason.

Mathurin had another solid performance off the Indiana bench on Wednesday, reaching double figures in points for the second straight game and nearly logging enough rebounds to earn his first double-double since November. It’s unlikely Mathurin will start games or log heavy minutes in the near future, but if he can stay consistent in his current role off the bench, there are nights in which he could be a tempting streaming option for those fantasy managers looking for a scoring boost.

Mathurin played his first game since January 2, and he came off the bench with a limited workload. Despite the reduced playing time, Mathurin’s offensive impact was far from muted, as he hit 6-of-10 shots, including 2-of-3 from beyond the arc. He should see his playing time trend up moving forward, and fantasy managers in need of points and triples can safely deploy him.

Mathurin will play his first game since January 2, but he’ll come off the bench. Fantasy managers should keep an eye on his playing time against the Hawks, as he may be on a minutes restriction after nearly a month on the sidelines.

Mathurin is dealing with a right thumb sprain as well as a toe injury. The 23-year-old small forward hasn’t played since January 2, but has a chance to return Monday against the Hawks. Fantasy managers should be aware that the Pacers and Hawks tipoff at 1:00 P.M. eastern time. If Mathurin is out again, Johnny Furphy should remain in the starting lineup.
