Impact Scrubb has missed the past three games while dealing with turf toe, and his absence will continue Tuesday in Memphis. His absence shouldn't have much of an affect on coach Ty Lue's rotations.

Norman Powell and Robert Covington check-in: A first look at the new Clippers Norman Powell and Robert Covington showcased what they can bring to the Clippers in the first outing with their new team.

Robert Covington - Plays 23 minutes in debut Covington provided 13 points (4-7 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds and one steal over 23 minutes during Sunday's 137-113 loss to the Bucks.
Impact Playing in his first game with the Clippers after coming over from Portland via trade Friday, Covington settled into a solid role off the bench, essentially serving as the top reserve at forward behind Marcus Morris and Nicolas Batum. It's unclear if he'll eventually usurp one of those two players for a starting spot, but either way Covington should play enough minutes to continue providing his usual, all-around production. The veteran's scoring and efficiency have dropped off considerably over the last two seasons, making him a less-attractive fantasy option, but he's still averaging 1.5 steals and 1.3 blocks to go with 1.7 made three-pointers through 49 games this season.

Norman Powell - Scores 28 in Clips debut Powell logged 28 points (9-16 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 6-7 FT), one rebound and four assists across 24 minutes during Sunday's 137-113 loss to the Bucks.
Impact Making his Clippers debut off the bench after coming over from Portland via trade, Powell made an immediate impact, drilling four three-pointers and adding four assists in just 24 minutes of action. Once he gets his bearings in Los Angeles, there's a good chance Powell could overtake Amir Coffey for the starting shooting guard spot in short order.

Robert Covington - Set to debut off bench Sunday Covington will be available to make his Clippers debut Sunday against the Bucks, Law Murray of The Athletic reports.
Impact Both Covington and Norman Powell will be options off the bench for coach Ty Lue after the pair came over from Portland via trade Friday. Given his lack of familiarity, Covington's role could initially be limited, but he figures to eventually take on a significant workload at both forward spots, whether he continues to come off the bench or is able to grab hold of a starting spot.

Norman Powell - Will play off bench Powell will be available to make his Clippers debut Sunday against the Bucks, Law Murray of The Athletic reports.
Impact He won't be in the starting lineup, but Powell will be available off the bench just two days after coming over from Portland via trade. Once he gets his bearings, it would not be surprising if Powell quickly takes over the starting two-guard spot from Amir Coffey, who's been among the biggest beneficiaries of Paul George's (elbow) ongoing absence.

Ivica Zubac - Will play on minutes restriction Zubac (calf) will be available for Sunday night's game against Milwaukee, but he'll face a minutes restriction, Mark Medina of NBA.com reports.
Impact Just how many minutes Zubac will play remains to be seen, but the unspecified restriction makes him a bit of a risky play in DFS contests -- especially with Serge Ibaka and Isaiah Hartenstein looming as viable options off the bench.

Jay Scrubb - Out again Sunday Scrubb (toe) has been ruled out for Sunday's matchup with Milwaukee.
Impact Scrubb is set to miss his second straight game with turf toe. The two-way wing hasn't played a significant role for the Clippers, so his continued absence shouldn't affect how the minutes are distributed.

Impact Covington will presumably be competing with Nicolas Batum for a starting forward spot, but even if he comes off the bench, he could see minutes in the high-20s or low-30s. With Portland, he averaged 7.6 points, 5.7 rebounds, 1.5 steals, 1.4 assists and 1.3 blocks in 29.8 minutes.

Norman Powell - Could debut Sunday Powell (recently traded) is not on the injury report for Sunday's game against the Bucks, suggesting he could make his team debut, Mirjam Swanson of the Los Angeles Daily News repo...
Impact Powell was dealt from the Trail Blazers to the Clippers on Friday. He's certainly in contention to join the starting lineup soon, if not during his debut. With Portland this season, he averaged 18.7 points, 3.3 rebounds and 2.1 assists, so he immediately slots in as one of the highest-upside offensive options on his new team.

Ivica Zubac - Questionable vs. Bucks Zubac (calf) is questionable for Sunday's matchup against the Bucks, Mirjam Swanson of the Los Angeles Daily News reports.
Impact Zubac has missed the past two games with right calf soreness. If available, he could return to the starting five, which would push Serge Ibaka back to the bench.
