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: 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.

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.
