Nene and Pablo Prigioni ruled out
Analysis coming soon.
Clippers starters: Rivers, Prigioni, Mbah a Moute, Pierce, and Aldrich
Clippers will only have Luc Mbah a Moute is their regular starter against the Suns on Wednesday. Rivers should be considered an elite punt option and could see over 30 minutes. Cole Aldrich is also an elite option and should be heavily owned in the late slate. Alex Len makes for an interesting pivot in this game.
Clippers starters: Prigioni, Crawford, Pierce, Mbah a Moute, and Aldrich
Crawford will have the green light to shoot at will on Friday against the Jazz. Since the Clippers are playing a tough defensive team al the players don't have a ton of upside. The Jazz are favored by 14 points with a game total projected at 184 points. Making all the options low-end GPP choices lacking a ton of upside.
Austin Rivers and Jeff Green questionable for Friday
Rivers did not play last night against the Clippers and is questionable for Friday's game against the Jazz. Jeff Green exited early with a knee injury and is also questionable. If Rivers misses the game, expect C.J. Wilcox to pick up some extra minutes with Chris Paul also out. Wilcox is a low-end option and is only really viable on the late slate. The Clippers don't have much depth so the starters will likely see 28-32 minutes. The Clippers probable starters are currently Pablo Prigioni, Jamal Crawford, Luc Mbah a Moute, Paul Pierce, and Cole Aldrich.
Austin Rivers, Wesley Johnson, and Jamal Crawford all resting on Wednesday
Rivers, Johnson, and Crawford will all be resting against the Lakers on the second night of a back-to-back. Expect C.J. Wilcox and Pablo Prigioni to be used as the guards off the bench. Both players are risky tournament plays. Wilcox likely has the higher upside but would only play extended minutes if the Clippers are beating the Lakers by a large margin.
Chris Paul, J.J. Redick, and DeAndre Jordan to all sit out today's Clippers game
The news broke late last night that the Clippers would be resting Chris Paul, J.J. Redick, and DeAndre Jordan on the second half of a back-to-back when the Clippers take on the Thunder tonight. This definitely opens up value opportunities on the Clippers as the likes of Austin Rivers, Pablo Prigioni, and Cole Aldrich will all receive extended run as a result. The best play, however, is probably Jamal Crawford who will be tasked more ball handling responsibility, get more playing time, and whose usage is 25.7% (per nbawowy) when the resting three are off the court. It's a tough match up and there is blow out potential, but the value is there if you're willing to stomach the risk.
Pablo Prigioni (illness) upgraded to probable for Saturday
With Austin Rivers out, Prigioni has assumed the backup PG duties behind Chris Paul. While he's obviously not a DFS option, his absence could lead to even bigger minutes for either Chris Paul or Jamal Crawford, as they are the only other viable point guard options on the team. We'll update Prigioni's status before tomorrow's game.
Pablo Prigioni out Thursday
Prigioni will miss Thursday’s game against the Spurs with an illness. This means that Jamal Crawford will run the backup point guard duties. With Austin Rivers also out, Crawford has been getting a ton of minutes recently. Over his last four games, he is averaging 29 FD points per game. He is just $5,100 on both sites.
Pablo Prigioni rejoins team, available tonight
Clippers Head Coach Doc Rivers stated that Pablo Prigioni is feeling better and has rejoined the team. He doesn't provide much value in terms of DFS and will reduce the number of minutes Austin Rivers plays.
