Amir Coffey - Career night in blowout win Coffey produced 35 points (13-22 FG, 7-10 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 13 rebounds, five assists and one block over 43 minutes during Sunday's 138-88 win over Oklahoma City.

Impact Coffey took full advantage of the Clippers resting several regulars to post easily his best game as a pro. The Minnesota product set new career highs in points, made field goals, field goal attempts, made three-pointers and rebounds, while tacking on five assists and committing just two turnovers in 43 minutes. While Coffey has had a few statement games this season -- he went for 32 points, seven assists, six boards and four steals against the Bucks earlier this month -- he's a fringe-rotation player when the Clippers are at full strength.

Luke Kennard - Exits with sore hammy Kennard departed Sunday's game against the Thunder with a sore right hamstring and will not return, Ohm Youngmisuk of ESPN reports.

Impact Kennard got the start at shooting guard with a handful of regulars resting, and he posted 20 points, four assists and three rebounds in 28 minutes of action before exiting in the third quarter. The Clippers could simply be exercising caution, but Kennard's status is worth monitoring as Tuesday's play-in game against Minnesota approaches.

Impact Jackson, along with Marcus Morris (rest) and Norman Powell (rest), will be sidelined for the regular season finale, but they are all expected to be available for Tuesday's play-in matchup against the Timberwolves. In Jackson's absence, Terance Mann, Xavier Moon and Brandon Boston are all candidates for increased roles.

Norman Powell - Won't play Sunday Powell (rest) will not play in Sunday's regular season finale against Oklahoma City, Andrew Greif of the LA Times reports.

Impact The Clippers are simply building in some extra rest for Powell, who recently returned from a long-term injury absence. In Saturday night's win over the Kings, Powell finished with 20 points, two assists, one rebound and one block in 22 minutes off the bench.

Ivica Zubac - Double-doubles in victory Zubac chipped in 15 points (7-11 FG, 1-2 FT), 12 rebounds and two assists across 25 minutes during Saturday's 117-98 victory over the Kings.

Impact Zubac's fantasy impact is threatened by Isaiah Hartenstein on a nightly basis, but the starter bested his teammate in Saturday's victory. Saturday marked Zubac's third consecutive double-double, which came after a string of below-average stat lines. His regression over that span was largely due to Hartenstein's excellent play, but the recent numbers indicate a pendulum swing back in Zubac's direction.

Luke Kennard - Plays 20 minutes in return Kennard finished Saturday's 117-98 win over the Kings with 10 points (4-8 FG, 2-4 3Pt), three rebounds, one assist and three steals in 20 minutes.

Impact Kennard returned after missing one game with a hamstring injury and was quite efficient, shooting 50 percent from the floor. He also matched a season-high with three steals in the victory. He may see an extended run in the final game of the season against the Thunder with Paul George (rest) taking a seat for the finale.

Reggie Jackson - Struggles in blowout win Jackson finished with seven points (3-9 FG, 1-4 3Pt), three rebounds and one assist in 22 minutes during Saturday's 117-98 victory over Sacramento.

Impact Jackson illustrated why he is an occasional fantasy risk in Saturday's decisive win. His poor shooting night was a huge regression from his 34-point performance Thursday night against the Bulls. With Paul George (rest) sitting out for the final game of the regular season, the point guard should have ample opportunity to put up a solid stat line.

APRIL 10, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Paul George - Flirts with triple-double George (rest) contributed 23 points (8-14 FG, 6-9 3Pt, 1-2 FT), eight rebounds, 12 assists and two steals across 34 minutes during Saturday's 117-98 victory over Sacramento.

Impact George's tour-de-force performance will be his last of the regular season, as the Clippers will rest him so that he's fresh for the play-in game against the Timberwolves. George collected a season-high 12 assists in the lopsided victory and has now scored 20 or more points in three of his last five games.
