Clippers' Kawhi Leonard: Will miss second straight game
Leonard (knee) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Celtics, Joey Linn of SI.com reports.
Leonard will miss a second straight game Wednesday due to right knee injury management. This game against the Celtics is the first game of a back-to-back, so he could return for the second game Thursday against the Wizards.

Clippers' Nicolas Batum: Scoreless in 18 minutes
Batum provided zero points (0-2 FG, 0-2 3Pt), six rebounds, one assist and two blocks in 18 minutes during Monday's 112-99 loss to Chicago.
The Clippers were missing Ivica Zubac (eye) on Tuesday, but the big man is considered day-to-day. Mo Bamba drew the start and played 15 minutes, as the Clippers utilized some smaller lineups that benefitted Amir Coffey (33 minutes) and Kobe Brown (11 minutes). Batum's fantasy appeal is non-existent in most formats.

Clippers' Mo Bamba: Serviceable results in spot start
Bamba amassed 10 points (4-7 FG, 2-4 3Pt) and seven rebounds across 15 minutes during Monday's 112-99 loss to the Bulls.
Making a spot start at the five for the Clippers on Monday, Bamba was serviceable during his 15 minutes of action in what was his first appearance with the first unit this year. The veteran big man did lose considerable center minutes to Nicolas Batum and Kobe Brown from Los Angeles' second unit, though. If Ivica Zubac is able to return from an eye injury in time for Wednesday's showdown with the Celtics, Bamba would certainly be slated to revert back to the bench.

Clippers' James Harden: Poor shooting night Monday
Harden (groin) contributed 17 points (5-17 FG, 3-13 3Pt, 4-4 FT), five rebounds, 10 assists, one block and one steal across 36 minutes during Monday's 112-99 loss to the Bulls.
Harden was iffy with a groin issue on the second leg of Los Angeles' back-to-back Monday, and it's fair to wonder if the issue hampered him during one of his worst shooting nights of the season. However, the All-Star guard did dish out a game-high 10 assists to mitigate the poor efficiency. There's a chance that Harden's counting stats take a hit once Kawhi Leonard is ready to handle a full workload, but the former's turnover rate could come down once that happens, and Harden's efficiency should eventually rise.

Clippers' Norman Powell: Team-leading 27 points in loss
Powell (back) chipped in a team-high 27 points (9-22 FG, 3-10 3Pt, 6-7 FT), two rebounds, two assists and one steal over 38 minutes during Monday's 112-99 loss to the Bulls.
Powell was able to fight off a back injury and suit up for the Clippers on Monday, scoring a team-high 27 points while attempting his most field goals since Dec. 28 in the absence of the resting Kawhi Leonard. Although Powell has worked as Los Angeles' clear-cut top-scoring option for most of the season, it remains to be seen how his role might be affected once Leonard can take on a full workload. Even if a slight dip in usage is eventually coming, Powell should remain a strong source of points, threes and steals from a fantasy perspective.

Clippers' Mo Bamba: Drawing first start of season

Bamba will get a look as the starting center after news broke earlier in the day that Ivica Zubac (eye) would be held out Monday. Bamba has been held to single-digit minutes in two of his last four appearances but should be in line for a longer look versus Chicago.
