Dunn left Sunday’s win over the Nets in the first half with an ankle injury and did not return after halftime. As a result, his status for Tuesday’s game against his former team is still unknown. Dunn has been a staple in the Clippers’ starting backcourt during his tenure in L.A., but if he can’t go against the Jazz, Kobe Sanders is a candidate to fill in as a starter.

Leonard is once again listed as questionable. As he continues to manage a knee contusion, it’s likely that he’ll receive this status ahead of several more games in the near future. But the lingering knee issue hasn’t slowed the two-time Finals MVP down much when on the floor. He’s scored at least 20 points in a career-best 24 straight games, which has been key in the Clippers’ recent 15-3 stretch. If available on Tuesday, he should be set for another productive outing.

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.

Initially questionable for Sunday’s game, Leonard got through his pregame routine without issue and will play. 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. If he’s unable to play, rookie Kobe Sanders should return to the starting lineup. He would be worth streaming if allowed to start.

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.

After a three-game absence, Leonard is available and back in the starting lineup. His return means that Kobe Sanders will head back to the bench, where he offers minimal fantasy value in redraft leagues. That’s the lone change to the starting lineup.

Leonard has missed the Clippers’ last three games with a left knee contusion, resulting in rookie Kobe Sanders stepping in as the fifth starter. Sanders will retain that role if Leonard can’t return on Thursday, and he would be worth considering as a streamer in deep leagues.

Collins is averaging 5.0 rebounds on the season, but he had none in 24 minutes against the Bulls on Tuesday. The 28-year-old power forward’s line lacked meaningful contribution in every category but points and three-pointers. It was a down game for Collins, who has provided second-round per game value over the last two weeks. The Clippers will play the Lakers and Nets at home later this week.

Harden entered play with at least 31 points in three of his last four games. Scoring didn’t come as easily for the 36-year-old point guard on Tuesday. Harden was hardly efficient against the Bulls with 24 points on 25 field goal attempts. He had just three made free throws after having made at least seven free throws in seven consecutive games entering play Tuesday. Harden will continue to be the leading man for the Clippers with Kawhi Leonard (knee) out, which raises his fantasy ceiling. He’s provided 13th-overall per game value over the last two weeks. The Clippers return home on Thursday to play the Lakers.

Christie was initially listed as questionable with abdominal soreness, but he’s ultimately available for Tuesday’s game against the Bulls. The 20-year-old guard recently drew praise from coach Ty Lue for his “elite defense.” Christie should continue to play a minimal role off the bench and thus isn’t worth rostering in most fantasy leagues.

For the first time in two weeks, Zubac has recorded double-doubles in consecutive games. The Clippers’ center was responsible for five turnovers, but many post players struggle with that category. Since returning from a sprained ankle, Zubac has hit double digits in rebounds in five of the eight games he’s played. If he’s held out of Tuesday’s game against the Bulls, Brook Lopez (six points, four steals and one blocked shot) would be the next man up.

The Clippers won’t have Kawhi Leonard for the end of their road trip, opening up additional opportunities for the team’s supporting cast. While Kobe Sanders (8/3/1 with two three-pointers) made the start, Miller was more productive off the bench. Given how the playing time is being handled, it isn’t easy to fully trust Sanders or Miller as streaming options. However, both have shown at various points this season that they’re capable contributors.

Harden didn’t have it from beyond the arc on Monday, as he missed all five of his attempts. However, he shot 75 percent from two and wore a beaten path to the foul line, attempting 20 free throws. With Kawhi Leonard (knee) out, even more of the offensive responsibilities fall on Harden’s shoulders. And he’s capable of taking over, as he did during Monday’s victory. The Clippers visit the Bulls on Tuesday in the final game of their road trip.

With the Clippers missing starters in each of the last two games, Miller has shown he can produce. He had 11 points, 10 rebounds and five assists in 34 minutes in the win over the Hornets on Wednesday. Miller followed that up with 20 points in 46 minutes in the overtime win over the Raptors on Friday. He might not be fantasy-relevant just yet, but Miller has certainly impressed over the last two games.

Zubac had 11 rebounds in Monday’s win over the Hornets, but only tallied nine points. The 28-year-old center completed a double-double with 16 points and 11 rebounds in Friday’s overtime win over the Raptors. He’s provided just 12th-round per game value over the last two weeks. The Clippers are off until Monday’s game against the Wizards on the road.

Harden led the Clippers to victory with Kawhi Leonard sidelined against the Raptors on Friday. The 36-year-old point guard had 16 points in the fourth quarter and overtime combined to help secure the victory on the road. He’s provided second-round per game value over the last two weeks. The Clippers will have the rest of the weekend off before a four-game week in Week 14.
