James Harden - Comes up short for double-doubleHarden supplied 14 points (4-14 FG, 2-9 3Pt, 4-5 FT), one rebound, eight assists, two blocks and two steals over 36 minutes during Sunday's 109-105 loss to the Timberwolves.
ImpactHarden struggled from the field and was particularly poor from three-point range, missing seven of his nine attempts from beyond the arc. His scoring woes didn't affect the Clippers too much, however, as Harden is now entrenched as Los Angeles' third-best option on offense behind Kawhi Leonard and Paul George. Harden continues to thrive as a playmaker, though, and he has now dished out eight or more dimes in each of his last 11 appearances.

Paul George - Struggles from field SundayGeorge provided 16 points (5-19 FG, 4-13 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds and three assists over 42 minutes during Sunday's 109-105 loss to the Timberwolves.
ImpactGeorge didn't have his best performance from the field and finished with more field goal attempts than points scored, a rarity for a player who was shooting 50.8 percent from the field over his previous 10 outings. There's a strong chance this was nothing more than a poor outing for him, however, and George will try to bounce back when the Clippers take on the Thunder on Tuesday.

Kawhi Leonard - Sniffs double-doubleLeonard accumulated 26 points (9-19 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 6-6 FT), nine rebounds, four assists and two steals across 37 minutes during Sunday's 109-105 loss to the Timberwolves.
ImpactLeonard led the Clippers in scoring and finished just one rebound shy of posting a double-double, but his two-way play was not enough to lift Los Angeles to victory against another top team in the West such as Minnesota. Leonard has scored at least 20 points in five of his last eight appearances, averaging 22.8 points, 6.6 rebounds, 3.6 assists, 2.5 steals and 1.4 blocks per game in that span.

Karl-Anthony Towns - Scores 17 points in tight winTowns finished with 17 points (7-12 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 1-2 FT), six rebounds and five assists over 37 minutes during Sunday's 109-105 victory over the Clippers.
ImpactTowns took a backseat in both scoring and rebounding in this game, as Anthony Edwards posted 33 points and Rudy Gobert grabbed 18 boards. However, Towns still delivered a strong fantasy line despite holding a secondary role across the board. Towns seems to be adjusting better to play alongside Gobert compared to last year, and his numbers back that up as well. Over eight outings in January, he's averaging 23.8 points, 7.5 rebounds, 3.6 assists and 0.4 blocks per contest.
