Kris Dunn - Limited impact in loss Dunn finished Thursday's 125-119 loss to the Suns with six points (2-5 FG, 2-2 3Pt), four rebounds and two assists in 24 minutes.

Impact The 30-year-old has logged significant playing time behind James Harden and Norman Powell in the backcourt. Dunn has yet to play less than 18 minutes in a game through five regular-season outings. The guard has been efficient while shooting 60.9 percent from the field thus far, though he did struggle with his two-point shot Thursday. The ninth-year pro is averaging 6.8 points, 5.0 rebounds, 2.2 assists and 1.2 steals across 21.8 minutes per game.

Kevin Porter Jr. - Leads bench in scoring Thursday Porter accumulated 14 points (6-12 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, two assists and one block in 17 minutes during Thursday's 125-119 loss to the Suns.

Impact Porter scored a bench-high 14 points while leading the entire squad in usage percentage Thursday. The 24-year-old has scored in double figures in each of his last two games, and he has played double-digit minutes in all five regular-season outings. Porter has averaged 7.4 points, 3.4 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 1.0 steals across 15.4 minutes per game.

Nicolas Batum - Solid defensive showing in loss Batum provided three points (1-4 FG, 1-3 3Pt), five rebounds, four blocks and three assists across 21 minutes during Thursday's 125-119 loss to Phoenix.

Impact After tallying just one block over his first four regular-season outings, Batum swatted away four shots Thursday. The 35-year-old has seen fairly significant run off the bench thus far, and he has played 20-plus minutes in three of the Clippers' five games. Batum is averaging 3.2 points, 3.4 rebounds, 2.8 assists and 1.6 stocks across 19.0 minutes per game.

Norman Powell - Continues solid run in loss Powell posted 23 points (9-21 FG, 4-11 3Pt, 1-2 FT), two rebounds, two assists and one steal over 31 minutes during Thursday's 125-119 loss to the Suns.

Impact With a first-unit role assured, Powell has a career year in store. He's never averaged over 19 points per season in his career, and he's soaring about six points over that number right now. For this season, Powell is the team's most sensible answer for Paul George's departure, and he's delivering the goods nightly.

Ivica Zubac - Bounces back with double-double Zubac had 22 points (9-10 FG, 4-5 FT), 12 rebounds, one assist and one steal over 36 minutes during Thursday's 125-119 loss to the Suns.

Impact The difference for Zubac is significant when Kai Jones doesn't contribute, but the veteran center is in for a long season if he is forced to carry such a heavy load. Zubac is far more accustomed to 25 minutes on the floor, and the lack of support should be a cause of concern for managers who depend on his production. He's handling the extra burden fine so far, but reduced minutes in back-to-back games should be expected.

James Harden - Carries load with triple-double Harden chipped in 25 points (8-19 FG, 3-10 3Pt, 6-7 FT), 10 rebounds, 13 assists, two blocks and two steals across 36 minutes during Thursday's 125-119 loss to Phoenix.

Impact The Clippers are still searching for their first win in the Intuit Dome, but Harden is doing all he can to make it happen. His red-hot start is reminiscent of his days with the Rockets, as he's shooting with abandon and distributing the ball efficiently. Turnovers have been a bit of an issue for him, as he's averaged 6.2 cough-ups over five games. Some of his six turnovers in Thursday's loss occurred at pivotal moments where the Clippers could have captured some momentum. The entire team has been careless with the ball, and empty possessions are keeping them from sealing the deal in the second half.

James Harden - Posts 19/10 double-double in loss Harden totaled 19 points (6-18 FG, 5-11 3Pt, 2-4 FT), five rebounds, 10 assists and three steals across 32 minutes during Wednesday's 106-105 loss to the Trail Blazers.

Impact Harden's five three-pointers represented most of his scoring output, and he led the team in assists. Wednesday marked Harden's third consecutive double-digit assist result, and the category should serve as a nice addition to his fantasy totals throughout the season. Harden isn't getting any younger, but Kawhi Leonard's (shoulder) absence and the loss of Paul George is yielding great results as he carries a heavier load.
