Washington Wizards vs. LA Clippers - News - January 23, 2025

Derrick Jones Jr. - Sets new season-high scoring markJones closed Wednesday's 117-113 overtime loss to the Celtics with 29 points (12-20 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 1-2 FT), seven rebounds, three assists, one block and three steals in 44 minutes.

ImpactThe Clippers were without several starters, meaning Jones had to embrace a bigger role on offense, but he was impressive doing so. This 29-point effort was his best scoring output of the campaign by a wide margin, as his previous season-high output was 20 points. Jones has started in the Clippers' last five games and has scored in double digits four times in that span.

Kevin Porter Jr. - Shines despite loss to BostonPorter ended with 26 points (12-21 FG, 2-6 3Pt), seven rebounds, seven assists and three steals in 39 minutes during Wednesday's 117-113 overtime loss to the Celtics.

ImpactThe Clippers started several non-regulars Wednesday since they were without James Harden (groin), Norman Powell (back) and Kris Dunn (knee), meaning Porter got the chance to play an expanded role in the backcourt. It's safe to say he didn't disappoint, finishing as one of the Clippers' leading scorers while also ending just three boards and three dimes away from a double-double. That said, Harden could return to the hardwood in the second leg of this back-to-back set against the Wizards on Thursday, meaning Porter's fantasy upside will take a severe hit if he returns to his regular bench role.

Amir Coffey - Productive outing in spot startCoffey closed Wednesday's 117-113 overtime loss to the Celtics with 24 points (9-15 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 5-5 FT), three rebounds, two assists and one steal across 44 minutes.

ImpactCoffey was one of several non-regulars who started Wednesday, and he delivered an impressive scoring output while showing an efficient touch from the floor. However, if most of the regular starters return to action Thursday in the second leg of this back-to-back set, Coffey's fantasy upside might take a serious hit. He's played off the bench in 32 of his 42 appearances this season.
