Norman Powell - Scores 17 points off bench Powell posted 17 points (6-16 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 4-7 FT), four rebounds, one block and one steal across 24 minutes during Friday's 105-101 loss to New Orleans.
Impact Powell was inefficient from the field, but the Clippers needed his offensive aggression with Paul George (COVID-19 protocols) sidelined. Across the Clippers' two-play in games, the veteran wing averaged 16.5 points, 3.5 rebounds and 1.0 steals in 25.5 minutes.
APRIL 16, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Robert Covington - Solid production off bench Covington contributed 14 points (4-7 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 4-5 FT), three rebounds, one assist and one steal across 35 minutes during Friday's 105-101 loss to the Pelicans.
Impact Covington saw increased playing time in the second half as the Clippers opted to run with a small-ball unit to open the third quarter. The veteran forward made the most of his opportunity by scoring in double figures for the third time over seven appearances in April. Across the Clippers' two play-in games, Covington averaged 11.5 points and 4.0 rebounds in 26.5 minutes per game.
APRIL 16, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Terance Mann - Modest production in start Mann supplied four points (2-5 FG, 0-2 3Pt), seven rebounds, four assists, one block and one steal in 37 minutes during Friday's 105-101 loss to the Pelicans.
Impact Mann drew the start with Paul George (COVID-19 protocols) sidelined, but his statistical contributions were lackluster. After averaging 10.8 points, 5.2 rebounds and 2.6 assists during the regular season, the third-year wing averaged just 3.0 points, 4.5 rebounds and 3.5 assists during the Clippers' two play-in games.
APRIL 16, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Marcus Morris Sr. - Solid production not enough Morris closed with 27 points (9-20 FG, 4-11 3Pt, 5-7 FT), nine rebounds and five assists over 43 minutes during Friday's 105-101 loss to New Orleans.
Impact Morris tied Reggie Jackson with a team-high 27 points and fell one rebound short of his third double-double of the campaign. Without Paul George (COVID-19 protocols), the veteran forward also handled more of the playmaking responsibilities, dishing out at least five assists for the fifth time this season. Across two play-in games, Morris averaged 19.5 points, 4.5 rebounds and 3.0 assists.
APRIL 16, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Reggie Jackson - All-around performance in loss Jackson accumulated 27 points (9-22 FG, 2-9 3Pt, 7-9 FT), seven rebounds, eight assists, one block and two steals across 45 minutes during Friday's 105-101 loss to the Pelicans.
Impact Jackson finished with at least 25 points, five assists and five rebounds for just the fifth time this season, but his all-around production wasn't enough as the Pelicans eked out a win behind a fourth-quarter comeback. Across two play-in games, the veteran point guard averaged 22.0 points, 7.0 rebounds, 6.5 assists and 1.0 steals in 43.5 minutes per game.
