Clippers' Paul George: Posts 26 points in loss
George totaled 26 points (9-20 FG, 4-12 3Pt, 4-4 FT), six rebounds, one assist, one block and four steals across 35 minutes during Sunday's 110-93 loss to the Hawks.
George has scored 20-plus points in seven consecutive games and shined on the defensive end with four steals during Sunday's loss. Kawhi Leonard has been the more consistent scorer between the duo this season, but George is usually not far behind. They seem to perform better when James Harden is at their disposal, and his return to action should help George's ability to create shots off the ball.

Clippers' James Harden: Flirts with double-double in return
Harden ended with nine points (3-10 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 1-1 FT), six rebounds, nine assists, one block and one steal over 36 minutes during Sunday's 110-93 loss to the Hawks.
Harden played 36 minutes after a two-game absence, and his shooting stroke showed a little rust. He converted only three shots in the contest, but his nine assists salvaged his fantasy total. Harden has managed at least seven assists in 11 straight appearances.

Clippers' Kawhi Leonard: Leads team with 28 points
Leonard supplied 28 points (8-17 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 9-10 FT), two rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal over 37 minutes during Sunday's 110-93 loss to the Hawks.
Despite a productive evening, Leonard was unable to spur his team to victory. The Clippers have dropped four of their last five and are looking a bit out of sorts, but one should always expect consistent production from Leonard and Paul George as they push for better playoff seeding in the final month of the regular season.

Clippers' Bones Hyland: Retreats to bench
Hyland will come off the bench during Sunday's game against the Hawks, Law Murray of The Athletic reports.
Hyland got two spot starts with James Harden (shoulder) out of the lineup, but he will return to his usual bench spot Sunday. With Norman Powell (lower leg) out of the lineup, Hyland could still be in for ample playing time.

Clippers' James Harden: Will play against Hawks
Harden (shoulder) is available for Sunday's matchup with the Hawks, Joey Linn of SI.com reports.
Harden will make his return to the lineup after missing the last two games due to a left shoulder sprain. The 34-year-old pro is averaging 17.8 points, 8.6 assists and 5.4 rebounds in 36.0 minutes per game over his last five outings.

Clippers' Norman Powell: Out Sunday
Powell (lower leg) is out for Sunday's game against the Hawks, Law Murray of The Athletic reports.
Powell tweaked his left leg during Friday's game against the Pelicans and he will ultimately be unavailable Sunday. The 30-year-old pro was spotted in a boot ahead of Sunday's matchup, so he could be in for a multi-game absence. Amir Coffey and Brandon Boston could see extra run sans Powell.

Clippers' Norman Powell: Questionable to play Sunday
Powell is listed as questionable to face the Hawks on Sunday due to a left lower leg injury, Law Murray of The Athletic reports.
Powell suffered the injury during Friday's 112-104 loss to the Pelicans, and his questionable tag isn't surprising considering he was spotted in crutches following that loss. If Powell ends up being unavailable, then Amir Coffey and Brandon Boston could be in line to see more minutes Sunday.

Clippers' James Harden: Listed as questionable
Harden (shoulder) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Hawks.
Harden has missed the past two games for the Clippers, but he remains day-to-day. Fantasy managers won't gain much clarity from a simple questionable tag, but more information could be learned after the morning shootaround. Bones Hyland could be in line for another start if Harden sits again.

Clippers' Mason Plumlee: Logs six minutes in loss
Plumlee posted three points (1-1 FG, 1-1 FT) and two rebounds across six minutes during Friday's 112-104 loss to the Pelicans.
Plumlee was used sparingly, managing just six minutes in the loss. The Pelicans are fine with running out a small-ball lineup, negating the impact of players like Plumee and Daniel Theis. Given Plumlee has played fewer than 10 minutes in four straight games, fantasy managers are well within reason to ignore him across all fantasy formats.

Clippers' Bones Hyland: Struggles in spot start
Hyland accumulated five points (2-9 FG, 1-6 3Pt), two rebounds, four assists, one block and two steals across 24 minutes during Friday's 112-104 loss to the Pelicans.
Hyland got the starting nod once again with James Harden ruled out due to a shoulder injury. Coming off a strong performance Thursday, Hyland failed to repeat his heroics, tallying just five points in 24 minutes. Harden's injury doesn't sound as though it is going to cause him to miss significant time, meaning Hyland's stretch of relevance could end just as quickly as it began.

Clippers' Daniel Theis: Fails to score Friday
Theis finished with zero points (0-2 FG, 0-1 3Pt) and one rebound over seven minutes during Friday's 112-104 loss to the Pelicans.
Theis failed to score in the loss, playing no more than 15 minutes for the sixth time in the past seven games. While he does provide the Clippers with a veteran piece at the center spot, it is clear his time as a consistent fantasy asset has come and gone. There is no reason to roster him, even in deeper formats.

Clippers' Norman Powell: Tweaks left leg Friday
Powell suffered a left leg injury during Friday's 112-104 loss to the Pelicans, Broderick Turner of the Los Angeles Times reports. He finished with 15 points (4-9 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 5-5 FT), one assist and one steal across 26 minutes.
Powell was injured while fighting for a loose ball, and while he managed to stay in the game, his status for Sunday's game against Atlanta could be in jeopardy considering he was using crutches in the locker room after Friday's contest. If Powell is unable to suit up, the Clippers could turn to Bones Hyland and Amir Coffey to pick up some backcourt minutes.

Clippers' Terance Mann: Available to return
Mann is available to return to Friday's game against the Pelicans, Law Murray of The Athletic reports.
Mann took a knee to the thigh with 5:10 left to play in the second quarter, forcing him back to the locker room. Although P.J. Tucker started the second half, the broadcast announced that Mann would be available to play.

Harden (shoulder) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Pelicans, Law Murray of The Athletic reports.
Harden will miss a second straight game due to a left shoulder strain. His next chance to suit up will come Sunday versus the Hawks. In Harden's absence, Bones Hyland will draw another start.
