Bogdanović appears set to return from an eight-game absence due to a hip injury. The 33-year-old shooting guard is listed as probable for Saturday’s game against the Timberwolves. Bogdanović could be on a minutes restriction and also cut into Kobe Sanders and Nicolas Batum’s minutes.

Zubac’s production on Friday was minimal compared to what he has shown over the past couple of seasons. The veteran center didn’t find many scoring opportunities on Friday, and was surprisingly unimpactful on the glass in his 35 minutes of game action. As a result, his streak of double-doubles ended at three games, and he failed to secure double-digit rebounds for the first time since November 22 against the Hornets. He’ll have a chance to bounce back quickly on the second night of a back-to-back against the Timberwolves on Saturday.

Harden’s numbers were down on Friday across the board, as he put forth one of his least productive outings of the season. He finished with fewer than 20 points for just the 15th time this season, which didn’t appear would be the case after scoring 13 first-quarter points. He was also unproductive on the glass and didn’t provide his usual level of impact as a passer. All in all, it was an unspectacular performance from the former league MVP, relative to what type of numbers he’s usually putting up. Fantasy managers will hope Harden can bounce back against the Timberwolves on Saturday.

Leonard led the Clippers in scoring on Friday, but did so without scoring efficiently from beyond the arc. He shot 2-of-9 from deep and struggled with his shooting in the fourth quarter as the Grizzlies took control and eventually won the game. From a fantasy basketball standpoint, Leonard was solid — he did well on the glass and tallied more assists than his season’s average while chipping in a couple of stocks. Most importantly, the two-time Finals MVP has played 35 minutes in consecutive games. He appears to be off his minutes restriction, which could potentially lead to greater fantasy production going forward.

Miller will miss a second straight game with back soreness. His absence opens the door for Kobe Sanders and Cam Christie to take on additional minutes, which won’t make any major changes to the Clippers’ rotation.

Miller injured his back during Monday’s loss to the Heat and did not see action in Wednesday’s win over the Hawks. While he can provide additional depth on the wing when available, there isn’t much to gain from rostering the former second-round pick. And his continued absence would not affect fantasy basketball.

Bogdanović last appeared in a game on November 20, and the Clippers have not provided any clarity regarding a potential return. His absence does not affect fantasy basketball, but Kobe Sanders and Nicolas Batum have picked up additional minutes. Neither needs to be rostered in redraft leagues, while the former has some value in dynasty formats.

Zubac has now had at least four assists in six of his last seven games. It’s starting to become a trend for the 28-year-old center. Zubac has also had at least 17 rebounds in three of his last eight games. He’ll get the chance for his fourth consecutive double-double against the Grizzlies on Friday.

Leonard dropped 36 points in Monday’s loss to the Heat. The 34-year-old small forward had 21 points Wednesday and the Clippers got the victory. Leonard remains productive despite his team’s 6-16 record. He’s provided sixth-round fantasy value so far this year.

Harden bounced back after an 11-point outing in the loss to the Heat on Monday. The 36-year-old point guard dropped 27 points as he led the Clippers in the win over the Hawks on Wednesday. Despite the Clippers’ down season, Harden has returned first-round value so far this year.

Haynes’ initial report said the Clippers were “severing ties” with Paul, and the team released a statement confirming that. Paul also posted on Instagram at 2:40 a.m. in Atlanta, where the Clippers are playing on Wednesday, that he is being sent home. Paul announced previously that this would be his final season, so this could give him an opportunity to join a contending team to close out his career. That was likely the idea with the Clippers, along with Paul enjoying some of the best seasons of his career with them, but the team has started off 5-16. CP3 has played a small reserve role this year, so his departure may open up a few minutes for Kris Dunn and Cam Christie, but it won’t significantly alter the rotation.

Miller exited Monday’s loss to the Heat after playing six minutes off the bench. While his availability does not affect fantasy basketball, it does impact the minutes available to Kobe Sanders and Cam Christie. There’s no need to consider either player for streaming on Wednesday’s slate.

This will be a seventh straight absence for Bogdanović, and there isn’t much clarity as to how much longer he’ll be out. Kobe Sanders played 26 minutes on Monday, though his role has been inconsistent. Nicolas Batum has also taken on extra minutes with Bogdanović out.

Finishing as a +8 in 30 minutes in a game your team loses by 17 is impressive. Leonard was able to have an excellent night, though 19 of his points came in the fourth quarter, when the game was practically already decided. It has been a rough season for the Clippers, but Leonard has still been really productive. He’ll look to help them end their losing streak in Atlanta on Wednesday.

Zubac was once again a bright spot in a loss for the Clippers. They’ve lost five straight, and he has grabbed double-digit rebounds in each game. Zubac’s production has only dropped slightly from last season, and he’ll continue to consistently produce, even if things aren’t going well in LA. Next up is Atlanta on Wednesday, and they’re one of the worst rebounding teams in the league.

Harden struggled in this game and didn’t end up getting an opportunity to step up in the second half. Clippers coach Tyronn Lue subbed him out a little over a minute into the third quarter, and he didn’t check back in. Harden has been a bright spot in a rough season for the Clippers, but this was the opposite; they were outscored by 39 points in a 17-point loss during his 20 minutes on the floor. Harden will look to get back on track in Atlanta on Wednesday.

Miller played six minutes before exiting with lower back tightness, leaving the Clippers down a rotation wing. Kobe Sanders and Cam Christie are available to absorb the minutes that would have gone to Miller, but neither is a factor in fantasy basketball.

Bogdanović will remain out for a sixth straight game. Nicolas Batum logged 28 minutes off the bench on Saturday and should continue to play a larger role. However, he was largely unproductive and isn’t worth streaming in with Bogdanović out.

Miller will be back after a seven-game absence, and he had a spot in the rotation prior to his injury. His return could cut into the minutes for Kobe Brown and Kobe Sanders, though Clippers coach Tyronn Lue has relied on the starters heavily recently.

Given his injury history since joining the Clippers, Leonard’s playing both games of a back-to-back is encouraging. After logging 29 minutes in Friday’s loss to the Grizzlies, he matched that number on Saturday and recorded another 30-point game. The Clippers’ four-game Week 7 concludes with another back-to-back, so fantasy managers won’t have to wait long to see if Leonard’s days of sitting out back-to-backs have come to an end (for now).

After failing to hit double figures in scoring for the first time since November 4 in Friday’s loss to the Grizzlies, Zubac began a new streak on Saturday. The double-double was his 12th of the season, and the playing time remains high. Zubac has played at least 32 minutes in four straight and nine of his last ten games. The concern after Saturday’s game was the collision with Dallas’ Dwight Powell, which caused Zubac to hit the back of his head on the court. He stayed in the game, but with the Clippers visiting Miami on Monday, we’ll have to see whether the 7-footer’s name appears on the injury report.

Harden recorded his second double-double in as many nights on Saturday, but the efficiency was missing. In addition to the poor shooting from the field, The Beard was responsible for seven of the Clippers’ 18 turnovers. Harden has only been a top-75 player over the last week, and the average of five turnovers per game has a lot to do with that. That said, fantasy managers know what they’re getting into when they roster Harden. The Clippers play four games in Week 7.

Still rostered in 77 percent of Yahoo! leagues, Collins has not offered much fantasy value this season. That changed on Saturday, as the veteran forward tallied season-highs in points and blocked shots. Getting to start does raise Collins’ ceiling, but he hasn’t reached it very often. He has been a top-100 player in nine-cat formats over the past week; fantasy managers will hope that trend continues. The Clippers hit the road for four games in Week 7, starting with the Heat on Monday.

Bogdanović’s hip injury will keep him out of a fifth consecutive game. While the absence does not affect fantasy basketball, it does cause an issue for a Clippers rotation that is without Bradley Beal for the rest of the season. Nicolas Batum and Kobe Sanders have seen their minutes increase recently, but neither is productive enough to have an impact in fantasy basketball.

Zubac’s streak of double-digit scoring efforts ended at 11 on Friday, as he struggled to get clean looks with Memphis’ Zach Edey on the floor. However, he did hit double figures in rebounds for the seventh time in his last eight games. Just as important has been the playing time, with Zubac averaging 34.0 minutes per game over the last two weeks. If that continues, his chances of making good on the preseason Yahoo! ADP (36) will improve.

Harden recorded his seventh double-double of the season on Friday, but the field-goal percentage will leave some fantasy managers disappointed. However, the Clippers guard has still been a top-10 player over the past two weeks in eight- and nine-cat formats. Given Harden’s overall production, the occasional efficiency issues aren’t a significant concern for most fantasy managers.

Leonard had his best game of the season on Friday, but he did not get much help, especially after halftime. While he scored 21 points on 8-of-12 shooting in the second half, Kawhi’s teammates combined for 23 points on 8-of-30 shooting. Leonard only played 29 minutes on Friday, a reminder that he doesn’t need to play starters’ minutes to have a significant impact on fantasy basketball. Leonard said after the loss that he will play against the Mavericks on Saturday, but consider him to be questionable anyway.

Bogdanović will miss a fourth straight game with a left hip contusion. While his absence does not affect fantasy basketball, it does leave the Clippers with one less option on the wing. Kobe Sanders played 17 minutes off the bench in Tuesday’s loss to the Lakers, and he may take on a similar workload on Friday. There’s no need to roster him in redraft leagues.
