Los Angeles Clippers Roster
- Western Pacific
- Stadium
- Crypto.com Arena
LA Clippers shooting guard Paul George (hamstring) and small forward Kawhi Leonard (ankle) got back onto the practice court Friday, presumably paving the way for returns in the near future. That first look at game action could come as soon as Saturday against the Kings, although either star would likely be facing something of a minutes restriction. George has not suited up since Nov. 19, while Leonard has appeared in just five contests this year. While the duo remain sidelined, Reggie Jackson, Terance Mann, Marcus Morris Sr. and others will continue to carry the workload; upon the return of the All-Stars, both become immediate must-starts, even as their minutes will likely ebb as they get up to speed.
Los Angeles Clippers guard John Wall turned in one of his best games of the season in a losing effort against the Utah Jazz on Wednesday. The former number-one pick ended the game with 26 points, two rebounds, and five assists on 7-for-19 shooting and 12-for-13 from the free-throw line. This was a seemingly vintage type of night as he stayed aggressive across the 25 minutes that he played. He can provide decent fantasy value from time-to-time, but his inconsistency with injuries and rest games makes him hard to trust all the time.
Los Angeles Clippers guard Reggie Jackson (back) will play in Wednesday's game against the Utah Jazz. The veteran guard took a hard fall during Tuesday's game. He's dealing with a lower back contusion, but will suit up for this game. Fantasy managers should expect Jackson to have his normal workload in this contest. It's also worth noting that John Wall (rest) will play in this game after sitting out on Tuesday. He'll resume his role as the backup guard behind Jackson.
Los Angeles Clippers guard Norman Powell (groin) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Utah Jazz. The 29-year-old injured his groin during Tuesday's contest. The Clippers are going to be cautious here and rest Powell. Terance Mann and Amir Coffey will have increased roles with Kawhi Leonard, Paul George, and Powell all sidelined. Both Mann and Coffey are worth looking at as a streaming options with the Clippers shorthanded on Wednesday.
Los Angeles Clippers guard John Wall (rest) will be available for Wednesday's game against the Utah Jazz. The veteran guard will return to the court after an off day on Tuesday. The Clippers are without multiple starters, so Wall should see a significant boost in value on Wednesday. Fantasy managers in season-long formats should make sure to get Wall back in their lineups. Also, DFS players should consider Wall as a possible cheap option with the Clippers in need of scorers for this game.
