Los Angeles Clippers Injuries
John Wall To Miss Next Two Weeks
Los Angeles Clippers guard John Wall (abdomen) is set to miss at least the next two weeks of action. The Clippers have decided to shut down the veteran guard for a couple of weeks while he recovers from an abdominal strain. His absence should mean that Terance Mann continues to get significant playing time in the rotation. Also, Reggie Jackson will likely be asked to contribute more with Wall unavailable to play. Mann is certainly worth rostering while Wall is out. Fantasy managers can take a wait-and-see approach with Jackson as he heavily struggled earlier in the season.
Marcus Morris Sr. Ruled Out On Sunday
Los Angeles Clippers forward Marcus Morris Sr. (knee) won't suit up for Sunday's game against the Houston Rockets. The 33-year-old will miss his first game since early December due to a left knee issue. This is bad timing with Paul George (hamstring) also missing Sunday's game. That means, Amir Coffey will move into the starting five and Nicolas Batum will join him. Both players should be considered low-end streaming options for Sunday's slate. Kawhi Leonard is healthy and starting, so he should handle of majority of the heavy lifting.
Marcus Morris Sr. Doubtful On Sunday
Los Angeles Clippers forward Marcus Morris Sr. (knee) isn't expected to play against the Rockets. The 33-year-old is dealing with a left knee contusion, so he'll likely join Paul George (hamstring) and Luke Kennard (calf) on the sidelines. John Wall (abdomen) isn't anticipated to play either, meaning Terance Mann, Norman Powell, Nicolas Batum, and Robert Covington could all see an uptick in fantasy production.
John Wall Not Expected To Suit Up On Sunday
Los Angeles Clippers guard John Wall (abdomen) is not expected to play against the Houston Rockets. The veteran logged 29 minutes on Friday versus the Denver Nuggets, finishing with 16 points and seven rebounds. However, he's now dealing with abdominal soreness, so he's on track to join Luke Kennard (calf) and Paul George (hamstring) on the shelf. Norman Powell, who had 18 points in the meeting with Denver, is expected to draw plenty of interest from DFS managers once Wall is officially ruled out.
Luke Kennard Out Again Versus Houston
Los Angeles Clippers guard Luke Kennard (calf) won't play against the Rockets, marking his fourth straight absence. Paul George (hamstring) will also miss this one, so Kennard won't be available on Sunday for a potential spot start. Instead, Terance Mann, who's averaged 11.6 points, 4.7 boards, and 2.4 assists while shooting 39.6% from deep in 18 starts this year, should remain in the starting lineup.
Paul George Sitting Again On Sunday
Los Angeles Clippers guard/forward Paul George (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's matchup against the Rockets. The veteran is battling hamstring soreness, so he'll miss his fifth consecutive game. Luke Kennard (calf) also won't suit up, meaning Terance Mann would remain with the first five. The 26-year-old has averaged 11.6 points and 4.7 rebounds while shooting 39.6% from deep in 18 starts this season, earning him consideration from the fantasy managers looking to fill a void in the lineup.
Marcus Morris Sr. Listed As Doubtful For Sunday
Los Angeles Clippers forward Marcus Morris Sr. (knee) is listed as doubtful for Sunday's game against the Houston Rockets. The 33-year-old is in danger of missing his first game since early December. It's bad timing with the Clippers already missing Paul George (hamstring) and Luke Kennard (calf) for Sunday's game. The Clippers could turn to Robert Covington to help fill the void in the starting five. He'd be on the streaming radar, assuming he starts. Otherwise, Norman Powell is another player who is likely to see increased action on Sunday. He has been a valuable fantasy option lately, so fantasy managers should check to see if Powell is available on the waiver wire.
