Clippers' Amir Coffey: Productive in limited minutes
Coffey accumulated 13 points (5-11 FG, 3-7 3Pt), five rebounds and one assist across 18 minutes during Sunday's 126-122 victory over Denver.
Coffey made the most of his minutes Sunday and continues to produce with any chance he has. As good as he looked in this contest, fantasy managers need to be cautious with what Coffey can bring to the table. His upside will remain inconsistent as long as he continues to come off the bench, which will be the case going forward now that Norman Powell has returned from a hamstring injury.

Clippers' Terance Mann: Efficient performance Sunday
Mann ended with 15 points (6-7 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT), three rebounds and one assist over 25 minutes during Sunday's 126-122 win over the Nuggets.
Mann made the most of his 25 minutes off the bench and was one of the Clippers' best players in this game, missing just one of his shots from the field en route to his best scoring mark of the season. Mann has scored in double digits in three of his last five games, but his fantasy upside will remain capped as long as he continues to come off the bench for the Clippers.

Clippers' James Harden: Comes close to triple-double
Harden posted 39 points (10-26 FG, 6-15 3Pt, 13-13 FT), nine rebounds, 11 assists and one steal in 38 minutes during Sunday's 126-122 win over the Nuggets.
Harden finished just one rebound away from recording what would've been only his second triple-double of the year, but even if he couldn't reach that milestone, there's no question he's going through his most productive stretch of the campaign. Harden, who has surpassed the 35-point mark in two of his last three contests, is averaging a robust 24.3 points, 8.9 assists, 6.0 rebounds and 1.7 steals per game over his past 10 contests.

Clippers' Norman Powell: Offers efficient scoring in return
Powell (hamstring) tallied 28 points (9-17 FG, 5-8 3Pt, 5-5 FT), one assist and one steal in 25 minutes Sunday in the Clippers' 126-122 win over the Nuggets.
After missing the Clippers' previous six games with a left hamstring strain, Powell took back his spot in the starting five Sunday but was on a minute restriction. While his contributions across the box score were lean, Powell stepped back into his normal pre-injury role as the top complementary option to James Harden (39 points, 11 assists), finishing second on the Clippers in scoring on efficient shooting from downtown. Assuming he didn't experience any complications with his hamstring in his return to action, Powell could see his playing time creep closer to the 30-minute mark in the Clippers' next game Tuesday versus the Trail Blazers.

Coffey has started the last six games but will head back to the bench with Norman Powell (hamstring) returning to action. Coffey averaged 10.4 points, 3.2 rebounds and 2.2 assists in 25.0 minutes per game over his last five appearances off the bench.

Powell (hamstring) is available for Sunday's game against the Nuggets, Justin Russo of the 'Clip & Roll' podcast reports.
Powell had missed the last six games due to a left hamstring strain, but he will return to the lineup Sunday. Powell has been a key contributor for the Clippers this season, holding averages of 23.3 points, 3.1 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 1.1 steals in 33.5 minutes per game across 15 appearances.

Clippers' Kevin Porter: Ruled out Sunday with ankle injury
Porter (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Nuggets, Justin Russo of the 'Clip & Roll' podcast reports.
Porter had a productive outing off the Clippers' bench in Friday's loss to the Timberwolves when he tallied 17 points, seven rebounds, three assists and three steals over 24 minutes. However, he may have sprained his ankle during that game, and it's severe enough for him to be sidelined for Sunday's contest. Terance Mann, Bones Hyland and Kris Dunn should all be candidates to see increased minutes off the bench Sunday due to Porter's injury. Porter's next chance to play will be Tuesday against Portland.

Clippers' Kobe Brown: Sitting out Sunday
Brown (back) is listed as out for Sunday's game against Denver, Justin Russo of the 'Clip & Roll' podcast reports.

Powell has missed the Clippers' last six games due to a left hamstring strain, but he has a chance to return Sunday. Prior to his injury, Powell was averaging a career-best 23.3 points per game along with 3.1 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 1.1 steals over 33.4 minutes.

Clippers' Kevin Porter: Productive off bench Friday
Porter had 17 points (6-10 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 4-5 FT), seven rebounds, three assists and three steals across 24 minutes during Friday's 93-92 loss to the Timberwolves.
Despite coming off the bench, Porter finished as the Clippers' second-best scorer behind only James Harden, who posted 20 points in this low-scoring contest. The 17-point output was a season-high mark for him, and it also represented his fourth game with double-digit points off the bench in the Clippers' last six contests. Porter has scored at least 10 points in 10 different games this season.

Clippers' Ivica Zubac: Another double-double
Zubac posted 16 points (8-9 FG), 13 rebounds, one assist and one steal over 34 minutes during Friday's 93-92 loss to Minnesota.
Zubac recorded his sixth consecutive double-double, and the big man has also grabbed 10 or more rebounds in nine appearances in a row. His two-way contributions have been a big reason why the Clippers have posted solid results -- Friday's loss aside -- despite missing key contributors such as Kawhi Leonard (knee) and Norman Powell (hamstring). Over that nine-game stretch, Zubac is averaging 15.1 points and 13.0 rebounds per game while shooting 68.4 percent from the floor.

Clippers' James Harden: Hands out 11 assists Friday
Harden produced 20 points (7-20 FG, 3-9 3Pt, 3-4 FT), six rebounds, 11 assists and five steals in 37 minutes during Friday's 93-92 loss to the Timberwolves.
Harden handed out double-digit assists for the first time since a 102-99 win over the Warriors on Nov. 18, but he did it while keeping his impressive scoring stretch alive. Harden has reached the 20-point mark in five of his last six appearances, and he has embraced a bigger role on offense with Norman Powell (hamstring) sidelined. Harden is averaging 25.2 points, 8.2 assists and 5.5 rebounds per game in that six-game stretch.
