This will be a second straight absence for KPJ, which will open up extra minutes for Terance Mann and Amir Coffey off the bench. Both guys scored in double figures in their last game, but neither will be great streaming options on a day with 11 games.
Mann gave the Clippers excellent production off the bench on Sunday, reaching double figures for the third time in five games. However, this recent uptick in production isn't enough to make him a player worth rostering in most leagues. Mann remains well outside the top 200 in 8- and 9-cat formats heading into Week 7. Leave him on the waiver wire.
Porter rolled his ankle late in Friday's loss to the Timberwolves, exiting the game with the help of a team trainer. His absence leaves the Clippers down a man in the bench rotation, which may mean more opportunities for Terance Mann and Jordan Miller. However, neither has been productive enough to merit being streamed in most leagues.
Already ruled out for Wednesday's game against Orlando, Powell will miss the Clippers' final two games before they hit the road for a four-game trip that begins in Philadelphia on Sunday. Amir Coffey will replace him in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game, making him a player worth streaming for the time being. Terance Mann may also play additional minutes, but the bench role limits his streaming value.
Wednesday is "Norman Powell bobblehead night," and the man himself will not be in action. He injured his hamstring during the first half of Monday's win over the Warriors but played during the second half. This will be the first game Powell has missed this season. As for who replaces him in the starting lineup, Terance Mann and Amir Coffey are possibilities.
