Coffey will come off the bench Thursday against the Mavericks, Tomer Azarly of ClutchPoints.com reports.
Coffey will retreat to a bench role following the return of Derrick Jones from a hamstring injury. Coffey has provided a spark as a scorer for the Clippers of late, so it wouldn't be a surprise to see him hit the 20-minute mark Thursday.

Clippers' Amir Coffey: Hot shooting as starter
Rotowire
Coffey accumulated 16 points (6-7 FG, 3-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT), three rebounds, three assists and one block over 34 minutes during Monday's 144-107 victory over Utah.
Coffey replaced Nicolas Batum, who was filling in for Derrick Jones (hamstring), in the Clippers' starting lineup Tuesday and rewarded the coaching staff's trust with a stellar shooting night. Over his last 12 appearances (eight starts), Coffey has averaged 11.8 points, 2.9 rebounds and 1.6 assists in 26.1 minutes per game. As long as Jones, Terance Mann (finger) and Kawhi Leonard (knee) remain sidelined, Coffey should have a clear path to a consistent role, though he isn't guaranteed to stick in the starting lineup no matter how well he shoots.

Clippers' Amir Coffey: Full go at practice
Rotowire
Coach Tyronn Lue said Coffey (shoulder) was a full participant during Tuesday's practice, Tomer Azarly of ClutchPoints.com reports.
Coffey was a late scratch ahead of Sunday's game against the Rockets due to a right shoulder contusion. However, after logging a full practice, he's certainly on track to suit up for Friday's game in Denver. With Derrick Jones (hamstring) to miss at least two weeks, Coffey is in line for an increased role in the short term.

Clippers' Amir Coffey: Late scratch Sunday
Rotowire
Coffey has been ruled out of Sunday's game against the Rockets due to a right shoulder contusion, Joey Linn of SI.com reports.
Coffey suffered the injury during pregame warmups, though he shouldn't miss much time given the nature of the issue. Expect Jordan Miller and Nicolas Batum to see more playing time Sunday in Coffey's place.

Clippers' Amir Coffey: Starting sans Powell
Rotowire
Coffey is part of the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Timberwolves, Law Murray of The Athletic reports.
Coffey will benefit from the absence of Norman Powell (hamstring management), stepping into the first unit for the seventh time this season. In his other six starts, Coffey averaged 9.7 points, 2.3 rebounds and 1.3 assists across 25.3 minutes.

Clippers' Amir Coffey: Scores 19 points off bench
Rotowire
Coffey produced 19 points (7-10 FG, 5-7 3Pt), two rebounds and three assists over 23 minutes during Tuesday's 127-105 victory over the Trail Blazers.
Coffey continues to make an impact regardless of whether he's starting or coming off the bench. He's scored in double digits in his last three outings, and he's also achieved that feat in six of his last nine outings. That said, his bench role limits his upside, so Coffey remains better suited to be a streaming option at best in most formats outside of the very deep ones.

Clippers' Amir Coffey: Productive in limited minutes
Rotowire
Coffey accumulated 13 points (5-11 FG, 3-7 3Pt), five rebounds and one assist across 18 minutes during Sunday's 126-122 victory over Denver.
Coffey made the most of his minutes Sunday and continues to produce with any chance he has. As good as he looked in this contest, fantasy managers need to be cautious with what Coffey can bring to the table. His upside will remain inconsistent as long as he continues to come off the bench, which will be the case going forward now that Norman Powell has returned from a hamstring injury.

Clippers' Amir Coffey: Coming off bench Sunday
Rotowire
Coffey will come off the bench during Sunday's game against the Nuggets, Tomer Azarly of ClutchPoints.com reports.
Coffey has started the last six games but will head back to the bench with Norman Powell (hamstring) returning to action. Coffey averaged 10.4 points, 3.2 rebounds and 2.2 assists in 25.0 minutes per game over his last five appearances off the bench.

Clippers' Amir Coffey: Scores 18 points with first unit
Rotowire
Coffey produced 18 points (6-10 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds and one assist in 33 minutes during Wednesday's 104-93 win over the Magic.
The Clippers will be without Norman Powell (hamstring) for a few more games, and Coffey will likely be the prime beneficiary. Although Coffey is only averaging 10.1 points per game, he possesses a strong defensive skill set that doesn't translate as well on paper. Recent offensive performances have upped his fantasy stock, but his potential is capped due to his position on the depth chart.

Clippers' Amir Coffey: Starting Wednesday

Clippers' Amir Coffey: Productive off bench
Rotowire
Coffey amassed 13 points (4-8 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, four assists and one steal across 27 minutes during Monday's 134-128 loss to Oklahoma City.
Coffey and Kris Dunn provided the Clippers with some quality minutes off the bench Monday. Coffey has upped his game in six November outings, producing 11.5 points, 2.5 rebounds, 1.0 assists, 0.8 steals and 2.2 three-pointers in 24.8 minutes per contest.

Clippers' Amir Coffey: Scores season-high 21 points
Rotowire
Coffey chipped in 21 points (8-10 FG, 5-6 3Pt), six rebounds, one assist and one steal in 26 minutes during Monday's 113-104 win over the Spurs.
Coffey was one of the players who sparked the Clippers' comeback with his scoring prowess off the bench. That said, despite his excellent stat line, this was the first time he scored more than 15 points and just the third time he logged more than 25 minutes in a game this season. His upside should remain fairly low until he can find consistency on a game-to-game basis.
Clippers' Amir Coffey: Posts 18 points with second unit
Rotowire
Coffey produced 18 points (5-10 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 5-5 FT), an assist and a steal across 23 minutes in Thursday's 113-91 win over the Kings.
Coffey's value will likely sink a bit in the wake of the Clippers' offseason roster additions, but he'll still see relevant minutes in the second and third unit. Kawhi Leonard (knee) will also take his share of rest days, giving Coffey more time on the court. His fantasy relevance is still limited, however.

Coffey will come off the bench for Friday's Game 6 versus the Mavericks, ESPN's Ohm Youngmisuk reports.
P.J. Tucker is getting the nod with the first unit, and it's not a huge surprise. Coffey has been struggling in this series, posting averages of 3.0 points on 28.6 percent shooting from the field.
