Isaiah Jackson is Ruled Out for Sunday

Los Angeles Clippers center Isaiah Jackson (ankle) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. Jackson was forced to make an early exit from Friday's game due to a right ankle injury. It appears to be significant enough to hold him out of Sunday's contest. The absence of Jackson means that John Collins or possibly Nicolas Batum will get extra minutes whenever Brook Lopez is off the court. Collins should see more playing time on Sunday, which will make him a more appealing streaming option for this game.

Isaiah Jackson Exits Early Friday

Los Angeles Clippers forward/center Isaiah Jackson (ankle) didn't finish Friday's contest against the Indiana Pacers, Lauren Rosen of FanDuel Sports Network SoCal reports. He missed the end of the game after tweaking his right ankle early in the fourth quarter. Jackson finished the night with four points and four rebounds in 14 minutes. Since joining the Clippers from Indiana, Jackson has served as Brook Lopez's backup at center. John Collins will see more time at the No. 5 spot if Jackson can't play on Sunday against Milwaukee.

Jordan Miller is Available on Friday

Los Angeles Clippers guard Jordan Miller (back) is available to play ahead of Friday's game against the Indiana Pacers. Miller is back in the mix after missing Wednesday's game due to back spasms. The second-year guard should resume his regular role on Friday. Over the last seven games, Miller is averaging 12.3 points, 4.1 rebounds, and 2.9 assists in 25.6 minutes per game. The 26-year-old offers enough upside to warrant looking at as a deep league streaming option for Friday's slate.

Kawhi Leonard Ready to Face Raptors

Los Angeles Clippers forward Kawhi Leonard (ankle) will be active on Wednesday night against the Toronto Raptors, Farbod Esnaashari of RTB Sports reports. He will make a third straight appearance despite dealing with a left ankle sprain. Leonard has been very effective this month, averaging 29.4 points, 5.9 rebounds, 3.4 assists, and 1.9 steals while shooting 54.3 percent from the field. He has scored at least 25 points in 10 consecutive appearances.

Jordan Miller Sidelined on Wednesday

Los Angeles Clippers guard/forward Jordan Miller (back) is out for Wednesday's game against the Toronto Raptors. Miller has been healthy throughout most of the season, but he will sit out tonight's contest due to back soreness. His next chance to suit up is Friday against the Pacers. The 26-year-old is averaging 9.8 points, 3.1 rebounds, and 2.2 assists across 21.6 minutes per game this season. Fellow forward Kawhi Leonard (ankle) could also sit out as he is carrying a questionable tag ahead of tonight's matchup. Bennedict Mathurin (toe), John Collins (ankle) and Kobe Sanders could be asked to play bigger roles if Leonard is also unable to play.

John Collins is Returning on Wednesday

Los Angeles Clippers forward John Collins (ankle) is available to play ahead of Wednesday's game against the Toronto Raptors. Collins is back in action following a one-game absence due to a left ankle sprain. He should move back into the starting five which should push Nicolas Batum to the second unit. Collins should be rostered and started in most fantasy formats. He's averaging 13.7 points, 5.3 rebounds, and 1.0 assists in 27.5 minutes per game. Fellow forward Kawhi Leonard (ankle) is questionable for Wednesday's game, so Collins could be asked to take on a larger role offensively if Leonard sits out.

Jordan Miller is Questionable for Wednesday's Game

Los Angeles Clippers guard/forward Jordan Miller (back) is listed as questionable ahead of Wednesday's game against the Toronto Raptors. Miller has been healthy throughout most of the season, but appears to have picked up a back injury during Monday's contest. The second-year guard has been playing a bigger role for the Clippers this season. He's averaging 9.8 points, 3.1 rebounds, and 2.2 assists across 21.6 minutes per game this season. Fellow forward Kawhi Leonard (ankle) carries a questionable tag into Wednesday's contest as well. Bennedict Mathurin, John Collins, and Kobe Sanders could be asked to play bigger roles if both players are unable to suit up. Fantasy managers will need to check back for another update ahead of Wednesday's tip-off.

Bennedict Mathurin is Returning on Wednesday

Los Angeles Clippers guard/forward Bennedict Mathurin (toe) has been cleared to play ahead of Wednesday's game against the Toronto Raptors. Mathurin is ready to return after missing four straight games due to a right toe injury. There is no word on a minutes limit, but it wouldn't be shocking to see the Clippers somewhat monitor his playing time during his first game back. Mathurin has been playing extremely well in March. Over the last 10 games, Mathurin is averaging 19.4 points, 5.8 rebounds, and 1.7 assists. For fantasy managers still playing, Mathurin is a solid fantasy option down the stretch of the season. Fantasy managers in season-long formats should get him active ahead of Wednesday's tip-off.

Kawhi Leonard is Uncertain for Wednesday's Game

Los Angeles Clippers forward Kawhi Leonard (ankle) is listed as questionable ahead of Wednesday's game against the Toronto Raptors. Leonard has played in two straight games, but continues to be on the injury report due to a left ankle sprain. If Leonard gets downgraded, Jordan Miller (back), Nicolas Batum, and Bennedict Mathurin are all candidates to see expanded roles. Mathurin is making his return after missing four straight games. The Clippers could be monitoring his minutes during his first game back. When he's at full speed, Mathurin is a reliable fantasy option. Also, Miller has been quietly playing well lately and is worth a look in deep leagues.

John Collins Misses Monday's Action

Los Angeles Clippers forward/center John Collins (ankle) has been ruled out for Monday's matchup with the Milwaukee Bucks. This is a bit surprising, as the team listed Collins as probable on the initial injury report. Kris Dunn or Jordan Miller will replace Collins in the first unit, while Nicolas Batum may also be more involved in the rotation. The Clippers have a great matchup on Monday against a struggling team that can't defend.

Kawhi Leonard Available Monday Night

Los Angeles Clippers forward Kawhi Leonard (ankle) will play on Monday against the Milwaukee Bucks. The team has upgraded him from questionable to available. Leonard has recently been in and out of the lineup due to a left ankle sprain, but he will make a second consecutive appearance on Monday. The veteran star has been a beast offensively in his last five appearances, averaging 32.6 points in 31.1 minutes per game. The Bucks are one of the worst defensive teams in the league, so Leonard's scoring spree should continue on Monday night.

Bennedict Mathurin • SG • Clippers

Bennedict Mathurin Remains Out Monday

Los Angeles Clippers guard/forward Bennedict Mathurin (toe) will remain out for Monday's game against Milwaukee, extending his absence to four straight contests. His continued absence has opened steady rotation minutes on the wing. Kris Dunn logged five assists, two steals, and two blocks in 32 minutes off the bench in his last outing and remains a defensive streaming option in deeper formats. Jordan Miller also chipped in 10 points in 22 minutes and could continue seeing reserve minutes. Mathurin should still be viewed as questionable for Wednesday against Toronto.

John Collins • PF • Clippers

John Collins Expected to be Available Monday Vs. Bucks

Los Angeles Clippers forward/center John Collins (ankle) is listed as probable for Monday's game against Milwaukee and is expected to play through a minor sprain. Collins logged eight points, one three-pointer, three rebounds, one steal, and two blocks in 29 minutes during his last start against Dallas, showing modest production despite a steady run. His fantasy outlook could improve if Kawhi Leonard (ankle) sits, which would open more usage and scoring chances. Collins remains a situational hold in standard leagues. Jordan Miller and Derrick Jones Jr. could also see slight bumps in minutes depending on Leonard's status.

Kawhi Leonard Holds Questionable Tag for Monday

Los Angeles Clippers forward Kawhi Leonard (ankle) is currently considered questionable ahead of Monday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. It shouldn't shock anyone that the oft-injured forward is on the injury report once again. The veteran forward is dealing with a left ankle sprain that could force him to miss his third game this month. If Leonard does sit out, Jordan Miller and Kobe Sanders would see expanded roles during Monday's game. Between the two, Miller is the much better streaming option if Leonard is out. Miller has been a consistent contributor in the rotation and should be a reliable streaming option without Leonard on the court.

Kawhi Leonard Ready to Face Dallas Saturday

Los Angeles Clippers forward Kawhi Leonard (ankle) is available for Saturday's game against Dallas after entering the day with a questionable tag. Leonard has missed two of the last three games, but when active he continues to deliver early-round fantasy value. Over his last five appearances, he has averaged 31.6 points, 3.2 three-pointers, 6.0 rebounds, 3.4 assists, and 1.8 steals in 31 minutes. He remains a must-start in all formats when healthy. His return likely cuts into Jordan Miller's short-term streaming appeal, while Darius Garland should continue handling significant playmaking duties.

Kawhi Leonard Questionable Against Dallas

Los Angeles Clippers forward Kawhi Leonard (ankle) is questionable for Saturday's game against the Mavericks after missing two of the last three contests due to a left ankle sprain. Jordan Miller could remain in the starting lineup if Leonard sits after posting 11 points, eight rebounds, five assists, and one steal in 37 minutes Thursday, giving him deep-league streaming appeal. John Collins, who finished with 18 points and eight rebounds, and Derrick Jones Jr., who added 22 points, may also absorb extra usage. Leonard remains a must-start when active, though managers should monitor his status closely.

Kawhi Leonard Ruled Out Against New Orleans

Los Angeles Clippers forward Kawhi Leonard (ankle) will sit out Thursday's game against the Pelicans on the second night of a back-to-back, though he is expected to return Saturday against Dallas. His absence should push Kris Dunn back into a larger role after he posted nine points, two three-pointers, and one steal in 23 minutes in a recent start. Jordan Miller could also see a few extra minutes after putting up 13 points and two steals last game, which puts him on the radar in deeper leagues. Derrick Jones Jr. and John Collins may also see slight bumps, while Leonard remains a must-start when active.

Darius Garland Won't Play on Thursday

Los Angeles Clippers guard Darius Garland (foot) has been ruled out ahead of Thursday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans. Unsurprisingly, the Clippers have decided to rest Garland in the second leg of this back-to-back set. He finished with 13 points with six assists across 29 minutes of action on Wednesday. He figures to be back in the mix for Saturday's game. The expectation is that Kobe Sanders will likely move into the starting five, while Kris Dunn sees an increased workload as well. Dunn is the more consistent fantasy option between the two, even with Sanders likely starting.

Kawhi Leonard May Not Play Thursday

Los Angeles Clippers forward Kawhi Leonard (ankle) is on the team's injury report on Thursday, listed as questionable for the second game of the two-game, back-to-back set in New Orleans. Kawhi had 25 points in 29 minutes in the team's loss on Wednesday, but it isn't certain if he'll be able to play as the team looks to bounce back Thursday. With Darius Garland (toe) out for the second game of the set, Kris Dunn and Jordan Miller will already get more work in the backcourt, and if Kawhi is also out, the Clippers would likely rely more heavily on Derrick Jones Jr. and Kobe Sanders since Bennedict Mathurin (toe) has already been ruled out as well.

Darius Garland • PG • Clippers

Darius Garland Ruled Out Thursday

Los Angeles Clippers guard Darius Garland (toe) will not play on Thursday, as his team finishes a back-to-back set against the Pelicans in New Orleans. Garland played 29 minutes in the team's loss on Wednesday, but only had 13 points to go with six assists. While he is out for injury maintenance on Thursday, Kris Dunn and Jordan Miller will carry more work in the backcourt, while Kawhi Leonard (ankle) will be more the focal point of the offense if he's able to play through a questionable tag of his own. Garland's next chance to return will be Saturday in Dallas.
