Clippers' Kris Dunn: Solid outing in blowout win Monday
Dunn recorded 12 points (5-8 FG, 2-4 3Pt), four assists, two rebounds and two steals over 24 minutes during Monday's 144-107 win over Utah.
Dunn reached the double-digit mark in points for the first time since Nov. 17, delivering an efficient outing from the field in the blowout win. The 30-year-old has struggled to produce on the offensive end over his last 10 outings, during which he has averaged 5.4 points, 3.1 rebounds, 2.7 steals and 1.8 assists while shooting 38.3 percent from the floor and only 23.1 percent from deep across 22.5 minutes per contest.

Clippers' Jordan Miller: Shooting woes in win Monday
Miller amassed two points (1-6 FG, 0-4 3Pt) and one block over 20 minutes during Monday's 144-107 win over the Jazz.
Miller struggled with efficiency during the blowout win, and he has shot 1-for-8 from the field and 0-for-5 from three-point range over his last two outings. The two-way guard has seen fairly significant playing time off the bench with Terance Mann (finger) and Derrick Jones (hamstring) sidelined, and in his last 10 outings, Miller has averaged 7.9 points, 2.6 rebounds and 1.6 assists across 20.4 minutes per contest.

Clippers' Bones Hyland: Nabs three steals in win Monday
Hyland registered eight points (3-6 FG, 2-5 3Pt), three assists and three steals over 12 minutes during Monday's 144-107 victory over Utah.
The 24-year-old guard was efficient during his limited run in the blowout win, tying Kevin Porter for the team-high mark in steals. Hyland has appeared in five consecutive outings with Terance Mann (finger) sidelined, during which he has averaged 12.8 points, 2.4 assists, 1.6 rebounds and 1.4 steals across 18.2 minutes per contest.

Clippers' Kai Jones: Plays six minutes in blowout win
Jones recorded one rebound over six minutes during Monday's 144-107 win over the Jazz.
The 23-year-old saw the floor for the fifth consecutive outing in the blowout victory, during which he has averaged 1.8 points, 1.6 rebounds and 0.8 steals across 8.8 minutes per game. Jones will likely continue to see minimal playing time buried behind Ivica Zubac, Nicolas Batum and Mo Bamba.

Clippers' Amir Coffey: Hot shooting as starter
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' Ivica Zubac: Strong performance Monday
Zubac accumulated 19 points (8-11 FG, 3-4 FT), 12 rebounds, four assists, two blocks and one steal across 26 minutes during Monday's 144-107 win over Utah.
James Harden and Norman Powell might have been the stars of the show in this huge blowout win over the Jazz, but Zubac certainly left his mark on both ends of the court. He notched his third consecutive double-double, and the big man continues to have a career-best season while enjoying a bigger role on offense. Zubac is averaging 14.9 points and 12.2 rebounds per game this season, notching career-best figures in both categories by a wide margin.

Clippers' Norman Powell: Efficient in win over Utah
Powell had 29 points (12-16 FG, 5-7 3Pt), four rebounds, one assist and one steal across 28 minutes during Monday's 144-107 win over the Jazz.
Even though James Harden stole the show with his 41-point performance, there's no question that Powell made his presence felt with an efficient shooting display -- he missed just four of his 16 shots from the field. Powell hasn't missed a beat since a six-game absence due to a hamstring problem between Nov. 20 and Nov. 29, and he's scored at least 28 points in three of his five December outings.

Clippers' James Harden: Explodes for 41 points in win
Harden closed Monday's 144-107 win over Utah with 41 points (11-17 FG, 7-11 3Pt, 12-14 FT), one rebound, six assists, one block and one steal over 31 minutes.
Harden was nearly unstoppable in the first half and finished with 34 points, his most in any non-Rockets half in his career, and it was the first time he reached that mark since the 2019-20 season. He barely played in the second half due to the nature of the game, but the veteran guard continues to show he can carry the team on offense if needed. Perhaps more importantly, Harden bounced back from a 15-point effort against the Nuggets on Dec. 13, and he should remain the Clippers' go-to option on offense as long as Kawhi Leonard (knee) remains sidelined.

Clippers' Nicolas Batum: Back in bench role
Batum isn't starting Monday's game against the Jazz, Joey Linn of SI.com reports.
Batum drew a spot start Friday against the Nuggets but failed to do much with the opportunity, finishing with six points, one rebound and three steals in 22 minutes. Amir Coffey will get the start at power forward Monday while Derrick Jones continues to recover from a hamstring injury.

Clippers' Amir Coffey: Starting Monday vs. Jazz
Coffey will start in Monday's matchup against the Jazz, Joey Linn of SI.com reports.
The 27-year-old forward will supplant Nicolas Batum in the starting five Monday. Over his last five outings (two starts), Coffey has averaged 12.8 points, 2.6 rebounds and 1.6 assists across 24.4 minutes per contest.

Clippers' Kris Dunn: Gets green light
Dunn (illness) will start Monday's game against the Jazz, Joey Linn of SI.com reports.
Dunn was added to the injury report shortly before tipoff, but he'll be able to fight through the illness and at least start Monday's clash. He's averaging 5.8 points, 2.6 rebounds, 1.6 assists and 3.2 steals in his first five appearances of December.

Clippers' Kris Dunn: Late addition to injury report
Dunn is questionable for Monday's game against the Jazz due to illness, Joey Linn of SI.com reports.
Dunn was added to the injury report about one hour before tipoff. Kevin Porter and Amir Coffey would be candidates to start at shooting guard if Dunn can't go.

Clippers' Kawhi Leonard: Progressing toward return
Clippers head coach Tyronn Lue said that Leonard (knee), who has already been ruled out for Monday's matchup versus Utah, is progressing well, and the team will re-evaluate his status Tuesday, Joey Linn of SI.com reports.
Leonard has yet to make his season debut while he continues to recover from inflammation in his right knee, an injury that resulted in him withdrawing from playing for the United States national team in the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris. The star forward has made some noteworthy progress in his recovery of late, however, as he recently resumed practicing on a limited basis. After re-evaluating Leonard on Tuesday, the Clippers will decide whether he travels during the club's upcoming three-game road trip that begins Thursday in Dallas. If Leonard is cleared to play at some point during the road trip, he would likely slot back into the starting five but would presumably have his minutes managed carefully.

Clippers' Norman Powell: Scores 16 points in loss
Powell supplied 16 points (6-14 FG, 3-10 3Pt, 1-2 FT), three rebounds and four assists in 30 minutes during Friday's 120-98 loss to Denver.
Powell remains one of the most consistent scoring weapons for the Clippers, and the veteran forward has surpassed the 15-point mark in his four appearances since returning from a six-game absence between Nov. 20 and Nov. 29 due to a hamstring injury. Powell is having a career-best season as a starter and is averaging 23.2 points per game in 2024-25. He's also shooting a career-high 47.4 percent from three-point range.

Clippers' Ivica Zubac: Posts another double-double
Zubac produced 13 points (6-12 FG, 1-3 FT), 13 rebounds, four assists and one steal across 32 minutes during Friday's 120-98 loss to Denver.
Zubac's scoring numbers have experienced a regression compared to the early weeks of the season, though that was expected, but he remains a consistent force on the boards. The big man has recorded double-digit rebounds in all but one of his last 14 appearances, a span in which he's averaging 13.4 points, 12.1 rebounds, 2.4 assists and 0.9 blocks per game. Zubac has recorded 16 double-doubles across 26 games in 2024-25.

Clippers' James Harden: Poor shooting display Friday
Harden finished Friday's 120-98 loss to the Nuggets with 15 points (6-14 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 1-2 FT), five rebounds, six assists and two steals over 31 minutes.
Harden returned from a one-game absence Friday, but he struggled with his shot once again. It's been only two games, so fantasy managers shouldn't be overly concerned with the slight regression he's experiencing, but Harden is averaging 20.5 points per game while shooting a meager 35.4 percent from the floor since the beginning of December. Those numbers would be even more concerning if we remove the 39-point effort he notched in the Dec. 1 win over the Nuggets. Harden's role as the Clippers' go-to option on offense won't change anytime soon, but his lack of efficiency and subpar shooting percentages are slightly concerning, particularly in category-based formats.

Clippers' Kevin Porter: Moving back to bench
Porter is not in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Nuggets, Joey Linn of SI.com reports.
Porter got the start against the Rockets on Sunday and finished with 19 points, six assists, two rebounds and two steals across 37 minutes. However, he'll return to the bench in this one since James Harden will recover his regular spot in the first unit. Porter is averaging 8.8 points, 3.5 rebounds and 2.8 assists per game off the bench this season.
