Los Angeles Clippers forward Nicolas Batum will move into the starting five ahead of Wednesday's game against the Detroit Pistons. The veteran forward will make his third start of the season with Kawhi Leonard (knee) and Derrick Jones Jr. (groin) both sidelined. The 36-year-old hasn't brought much to the table this season in a limited role. He's averaging 3.3 points, 2.7 rebounds, and 1.2 assists in 17 minutes per game this season. Possibly, Batum could have low-end streaming value on Wednesday, but most fantasy managers can find a better option for Wednesday's slate.
Los Angeles Clippers forward Nicolas Batum (finger) missed Wednesday's game with a finger injury, but he'll be available for the second game of his team's back-to-back on Thursday night against the Wizards. Batum has played a minimal role off the bench for the Clippers this season, averaging just 17.4 minutes in 42 games this year. He has only chipped in 3.2 points, 2.9 rebounds, 1.4 assists, and 0.6 steals per game. His role hasn't made much of a fantasy impact this season, but he will be able to return to it after being absent on Wednesday.
Los Angeles Clippers forward Nicolas Batum (finger) has been ruled out ahead of Wednesday's game against the Boston Celtics. The Clippers are going to be extremely shorthanded for this contest with a handful of players sitting out. Batum hasn't played a huge role in the rotation, but he was likely going to see more action with Kawhi Leonard (knee) and Norman Powell (back) both out as well. Now, Amir Coffey and Terance Mann should see bigger roles in the rotation. Between the two, Coffey is the better streaming choice for Wednesday's slate.
Los Angeles Clippers forward/center Nicolas Batum (finger) will play on Monday versus Chicago. The veteran was in danger of missing this contest because of right finger soreness. However, he's good to go. With Ivica Zubac (eye) sidelined, Batum may find himself in the starting lineup. Batum logged six points, three steals, and one rebound in his only start of the 2024-25 campaign. But he could see an uptick in production versus the Bulls, a team that has allowed 120.5 points per game this season, the second-worst mark in the National Basketball Association. Kawhi Leonard (knee, injury management) will also take the night off, which should give others more scoring opportunities.
According to the Philadelphia Inquirer's Keith Pompey, the 76ers are hoping to bring back forward Nicolas Batum. The veteran was traded to Philadelphia early in the 2023-24 campaign after spending three seasons with the Clippers. He appeared in 57 games for the Sixers last season. While Batum was a welcome addition to the roster, he played well enough in his 38 starts by averaging 5.6 points, 4.2 rebounds, and 2.2 assists. The Sixers hold his Bird Rights, so it's possible he could remain with the franchise. However, Batum likely won't be a consistent fantasy option anytime soon, although he has streaming potential when given extra minutes.
Philadelphia 76ers forward Nicolas Batum (foot) has been ruled out for Friday's meeting with New Orleans. He has been downgraded from a questionable status. Batum comes out of the lineup right after getting a new look in the starting unit against Memphis on Wednesday. His absence could give a starter's role back to Kelly Oubre Jr., while Kenyon Martin Jr. might also have a larger role. Oubre Jr. is enjoying a good season in Philadelphia and could be ready for a massive night offensively on Friday, with Joel Embiid (knee) and Tyrese Maxey (concussion) out of the lineup.
Philadelphia 76ers forward Nicolas Batum (foot) is uncertain to suit up for Friday's game against the visiting Pelicans. The 35-year-old has been heavily involved of late, logging 30 minutes in four games in March. But he's dealing with foot soreness, and considering his history, fantasy managers should begin planning accordingly. If Batum is ruled out, Kenyon Martin Jr. might see more action. However, he'd be a risky option in any fantasy format.
Philadelphia 76ers forward Nicolas Batum (hamstring) is officially listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Cavaliers. The 35-year-old played 18 minutes and didn't attempt a shot in the team's 110-96 loss to the Knicks on Thursday. If Batum is sidelined, KJ Martin could see increased playing time. The Sixers may choose to exercise caution on the second night of a back-to-back and rest the veteran. Batum is averaging 5.5 points, 3.8 rebounds, and 2.3 assists in 25.3 minutes per game this season.
Philadelphia 76ers forward Nicolas Batum (hamstring) is officially listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Knicks at home. The 35-year-old hasn't played since January 29th, but he participated in practice before the All-Star break and again on Wednesday without any limitations. Head coach Nick Nurse suggested the veteran is probable to make his return, barring any setbacks during pregame warmups. Batum holds averages of 5.7 points, 3.9 rebounds, and 2.3 assists in 25.5 minutes per game this season.
Philadelphia 76ers forward Nicolas Batum (hamstring) won't feature against Miami on Wednesday, missing a ninth consecutive game. The French veteran is trying to recover from a hamstring strain but still needs more time to heal. However, the good news for the Sixers and him is the fact that the team will be off until Feb. 22 following Wednesday's action, which will give Batum a lot of time to get ready for the next game. With Tobias Harris (hip) also out of the lineup, Kenyon Martin Jr. moved to the starting unit on Monday versus Cleveland. Philadelphia's injuries have also boosted the playing time of Ricky Council IV.
