Davis Probable to Face Clippers
Anthony Davis (bilateral Achilles tendinopathy) is probable for Tuesday’s game against the Clippers. Davis is probable, suggesting he’ll ultimately be cleared to play. If not, more minutes would become available to Christian Wood and Jaxson Hayes. Wood stands to be the better streaming option of the two.
Leonard Scores 21 in win over Nets
Kawhi Leonard played 37 minutes in Sunday’s 125-114 win over Brooklyn, accumulating 21 points (6-of-15 FGs, 7-of-8 FTs), four rebounds, four assists, one block, and two 3-pointers. After shooting 2-of-11 from the field in the first three quarters, Leonard made all four field-goal attempts during the fourth.
That was one of the keys to the Clippers’ game-ending 22-0 run; The Klaw finally got going after struggling out of the gates. Paul George, who also got off to a slow start, finished with 12 points, seven rebounds, one assist, one steal, and two 3-pointers in 36 minutes. Both Clippers’ star wings are providing 1st-round fantasy value, which is unsurprising given their career achievements, but both entered the season with Yahoo ADPs outside the top 25. The Clippers play three games during Week 14.
