NICOLAS BATUM NEWS

Starting Wednesday Batum will start Wednesday's game versus the Magic, Law Murray of The Athletic reports.

Impact Batum draws into the starting five for the first time since Oct. 25, with Marcus Morris (illness) slated to miss the game. Given the reason behind Morris' absence, it will likely be a brief cameo in the starting lineup for Batum, and it's not guaranteed to yield more minutes. Batum logged just 18 minutes in his only other start for the Clippers this season.

Connects on four triples Batum supplied 13 points (4-6 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 1-3 FT), five rebounds, one assist and two steals over 20 minutes during Monday's 119-117 win over Charlotte.

Impact Batum connected on four three-pointers and scored 13 points, marking his most points and made threes in a game since he nailed seven triples en route to a 22-point performance against the Mavericks on Nov. 15. When the veteran forward plays over 20 minutes (11 games), he's averaged 7.0 points, 4.3 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 1.0 steals per contest.

Perfect from downtown Batum provided 22 points (7-7 FG, 7-7 3Pt, 1-2 FT), five rebounds and one steal over 26 minutes during Tuesday's 103-101 loss to the Mavericks.

Impact Batum scored 21 of his 22 points from beyond the arc, knocking down all seven of his attempts from deep. He turned in his usual production on the glass, as he's now secured five or more boards in each of his last four matchups. It's also worth mentioning that Batum has notched a steal in back-to-back contests after recording just one steal over his first six games in November.

Serviceable performance Monday Batum contributed 10 points (4-7 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 0-2 FT), six rebounds, one block and one steal across 19 minutes during Monday's 122-106 win over the Rockets.

Impact Batum saw a few extra minutes Monday as the Clippers blew out the Rockets. The fact his 10 points marked a season high says it all in regard to his overall value. He is currently the 237th-ranked fantasy player, leaving him well off the radar outside of the deepest leagues.

Returns to the bench Thursday Batum chipped in seven points (3-4 FG, 1-2 3Pt), two rebounds, two assists, one block and two steals in 21 minutes during Thursday's 118-110 loss to the Thunder.

Impact Batum moved back to the bench with Paul George returning from an illness. While he did lead the second unit with 21 minutes, he offered very little in terms of fantasy production. The three defensive stats are nice but at this point in his career, the upside is negligible, making him a deeper league asset only.

Returns to Bench Batum will not start in Thursday's matchup against the Thunder, Tomer Azarly of ClutchPoints.com reports.

Impact Batum started the previous game due to the absence of Kawhi Leonard (knee), Marcus Morris (personal) and Paul George (illness), but with George active on Thursday, Batum will shift back to his bench role. The starting lineup consists of Reggie Jackson, Paul George, Norman Powell, Terance Mann and Ivica Zubac.

Starting with Kawhi, PG out Batum will start Tuesday's game against the Thunder, Ohm Youngmisuk of ESPN.com reports.

Impact With Paul George (illness), Kawhi Leonard (rest/knee) and Marcus Morris (personal) all shelved, Batum joins the starting five. In his 54 starts last year, he averaged 8.5 points, 4.4 rebounds, 1.7 assists and 1.0 steals in 25.1 minutes.

OCTOBER 25, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Diverse line from bench Batum racked up seven points (3-3 FG, 1-1 3Pt), five rebounds, three assists, one block and two steals across 28 minutes during Saturday's 111-109 victory over the Kings.

Impact We barely saw Batum in the season opener and that could have been due to Kawhi Leonard's presence. Those interested in Batum for fantasy purposes should monitor his usage the next time Leonard is in the lineup. If the numbers confirm the correlation, we may be able to identify Batum as a stable value pick when Leonard is out of the lineup.
