Powell continues to put up the points as he's had at least 28 points in four straight games now. The 31-year-old small forward has come out of nowhere to be a top-50 fantasy player on the season. What Powell has done already this year is nothing short of very impressive.
Powell has had at least 28 points in three straight games now. With Paul George in Philadelphia and Kawhi Leonard recovering, Powell has become an indispensable piece of the Clippers offense. Even with James Harden handling the ball, there's plenty of room for Powell to continue scoring like this.
Powell has scored 29 points in two straight contests and is averaging 24.8 points, 3.5 rebounds, and 3.3 assists through five games in December while shooting 52.5% from the field and 47.9% from deep. The Clippers wing has blossomed with Paul George out of the picture and Kawhi Leonard on the mend.
James Harden wasn't the only starter to have it rolling offensively on Monday. Powell shot 75% from the field, scoring 29 points, and he's put up 28 or more in three of the five games he's played since returning from a hamstring injury. Powell has been one of the biggest surprises in fantasy basketball this season, providing top-50 value in 9-cat formats. While Kawhi Leonard's absence has resulted in more opportunities, Powell still has to convert them, and he has.
Like teammates James Harden (41 points) and Norman Powell (29), Zubac did most of what he wanted against the overmatched Jazz. A double-digit rebounder in five straight games, the 7-footer has posted a double-double in three straight. Zubac's fantasy value slipped after a hot start to the season, but he remains a top-100 player in 9-cat formats.
