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.
