Marcus Morris Sr. - Ruled out Friday Morris (knee) is out Friday against the Bucks, Mirjam Swanson of the Los Angeles Daily News reports.

Impact Morris is one of a handful of Clippers' regulars who will be sidelined following Thursday's overtime loss to the Bulls. In his absence, Robert Covington and Rodney Hood are likely candidates for increased roles.

APRIL 1, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Brandon Boston Jr. - Out Friday Boston (illness) is out Friday against the Bucks, Mirjam Swanson of the Los Angeles Daily News reports.

Impact The bigger news is that most of the Clippers' regulars are resting. Extra minutes have opened up for plenty of bench players.

APRIL 1, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Reggie Jackson - Resting Friday Jackson won't play Friday against the Bucks due to rest purposes, Mirjam Swanson of the Los Angeles Daily News reports.

Impact Jackson is one of four Clippers' starters who will sit out the second half of the back-to-back set following Thursday's overtime loss to the Bulls. In his absence, Amir Coffey, Terance Mann and Luke Kennard are expected to handle the majority of the point guard duties.

APRIL 1, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Nicolas Batum - Won't play at Milwaukee Batum (ankle) is out Friday against the Bucks, Mirjam Swanson of the Los Angeles Daily News reports.

Impact Most of the Clippers' key players are resting Friday, so plenty of value has suddenly opened up for daily fantasy leagues. At forward, more minutes should be available for Robert Covington, Terance Mann, Amir Coffey and Rodney Hood.

APRIL 1, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Paul George - Out Friday George is out Friday against the Bucks due to right elbow injury maintenance, Mirjam Swanson of the Los Angeles Daily News reports.

Impact The Clippers are resting most key players Friday, so it'll be a skeleton crew against the Bucks. Luke Kennard, Terance Mann and Amir Coffey should see extra minutes in the backcourt.

APRIL 1, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Jason Preston - Could get cleared for contact soon Preston (foot) said last weekend that he expects to be cleared for full-contact work in practice in "the next couple of weeks," Andrew Grief of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Impact The rookie second-round pick is now six months removed from fracturing his foot and requiring surgery. The procedure will end up preventing Preston from playing at any point in the regular season, and while it's possible he's removed from the injury report if LA makes a deep playoff run, the 22-year-old likely wouldn't be called upon to play meaningful minutes, given his lengthy layoff. Preston should at least be fully cleared in advance of the Las Vegas Summer League, where he'll look to pick up some extended run to make up for his lost development time.

NBA 'Noles: Double-Double for Patrick Williams in victory over Clippers FSU Basketball Thursday Recap.

APRIL 1, 2022 • 247SPORTS.COM

Ivica Zubac - Narrowly misses double-double Zubac racked up 11 points (5-8 FG, 1-1 FT), nine rebounds, two assists and one steal over 32 minutes during Thursday's 135-130 overtime loss to the Bulls.

Impact Zubac has seen his production falter of late, as he entered Thursday averaging just 6.4 points and 6.2 boards over his previous five contests. He exceeded both those marks against Chicago but just missed out on his first double-double since March 14. Isaiah Hartenstein logged only 18 minutes in the contest after playing at least 20 minutes in each of his previous six games, which afforded Zubac some additional opportunity to produce. However, Hartenstein could continue to cut into Zubac's minutes moving forward, making the latter an unsteady fantasy asset.

Paul George - Scores 22 points Thursday George racked up 22 points (7-20 FG, 2-9 3Pt, 6-7 FT), four rebounds, five assists and three steals in 32 minutes during Thursday's 135-130 overtime loss to the Bulls.

Impact George struggled from deep in his second contest following a 43-game absence, but he still managed to finish second on Los Angeles in scoring. The star forward contributed a team-best three steals but was held out of the entire overtime period as head coach Ty Lue decided to take no chances with his workload. With the Clippers locked into a play-in berth, George will look to ramp up his conditioning down the stretch in anticipation of the postseason.

Jackson finished the month with per-game averages of 19.1 points, 5.8 dimes, 4.2 boards and 2.5 three-pointers over 13 games.
