Fantasy News & NBA Updates

Marcus Morris
PF, Los Angeles Clippers

Marcus Morris scores 15 points on 6-of-9 shooting in 31 minutes of action in a loss to the Nets on Sunday.

Morris got off to a rocky start with the Clippers after having a great start to the season with the Knicks, but he has turned things around in the bubble with some efficient performances. He has produced fourth round value over his last four games as we are starting to see him perform like the player that the Clippers traded for.

Lou Williams
SG, Los Angeles Clippers

Lou Williams put up 18 points on 5-of-13 shooting with two steals in Sunday's loss to the Nets.

Williams added three rebounds, three assists, two triples and one block in 23 minutes of action. He was more of a points and assists specialist for deeper leagues this season as he saw his usage dip with the additions of Paul George and Kawhi Leonard. He will likely maintain that deeper league role for the remainder of the seeding games.

Ivica Zubac
C, Los Angeles Clippers

Ivica Zubac put up eight points with 15 boards in 25 minutes of action in a loss to the Nets on Sunday.

Zubac has maintained middle-round value in the bubble due to his rebounding, blocks and field goal percentage. He has taken advantage of the absence of Montrezl Harrell, but he will still be a deeper league rebounding specialist upon his return.

Terance Mann
PG, Los Angeles Clippers

Terance Mann played well off the bench on Sunday with a career-high 14 points on 6-of-7 shooting in 23 minutes of action.

Mann is starting to get into a rhythm as a role player on this team and it will be interesting to see what his role is heading into the playoffs. He added three rebounds and two 3-pointers to the box score. He could be an interesting add in 16-plus team dynasty leagues.
August 10, 2020, 12:02 am
Kawhi Leonard
SF, Los Angeles Clippers

Kawhi Leonard put up 39 points on 14-of-25 shooting with six assists and four steals in a 129-120 loss to the Nets on Sunday.

Leonard was carrying the offense as the Clippers were without Paul George and Patrick Beverley for this one. He looks like he is in playoff form as we are approaching the end of the seeding games, so the reigning NBA Finals MVP will be on a quest to bring a title to Los Angeles.
