NBC SportsAmir Coffey finished Monday's win over Utah with 16 points (6-of-7 FGs, 1-of-2 FTs), three rebounds, three assists, one block, and three 3-pointers in 34 minutes.

Coffey replaced Nicolas Batum in the starting lineup on Monday for defensive reasons. Clippers coach Tyronn Lue preferred Coffey to defend one of Utah's guards (Keyonte George or Collin Sexton), allowing James Harden to defend John Collins. The lineup change worked, as Harden came out scalding hot, with Coffey doing most of his offensive damage in the fourth quarter (3-of-3 FGs) after the outcome was no longer in doubt. We'll see who Lue starts on Thursday when the Clippers visit Dallas. However, Coffey and Batum (four points, three rebounds, two steals, and one 3-pointer in 16 minutes) offer limited value in matchups against more formidable opposition.

NBC SportsJames Harden, Kris Dunn, Norman Powell, Amir Coffey, and Ivica Zubac will start Monday's game against the Jazz.

Dunn is good to go after the Clippers added him to the injury report late with an illness. The lone change to the starting lineup is Coffey, who will replace Nicolas Batum. The promotion gives Coffey a shot at providing streaming value, but that may be tough with Harden, Powell, and Zubac all active.

NBC SportsJames Harden, Kris Dunn, Norman Powell, Nicolas Batum, and Ivica Zubac will start Friday's game against the Nuggets.

Harden is back after sitting out Sunday's loss to the Rockets, which means Kevin Porter Jr. returns to the bench. The other change is Batum, who will fill in for the injured Derrick Jones Jr. With "Airplane Mode" out for at least two weeks, Batum will be worthy of streaming consideration in deep leagues.

NBC SportsDerrick Jones Jr. (right hamstring soreness) is set to miss at least two weeks.

Jones logged 12 minutes against the Rockets before suffering a hamstring injury and will miss a significant amount of time in December. Nicolas Batum and Amir Coffer will likely be asked to step up during his absence.

NBC SportsDerrick Jones Jr. (right hamstring soreness) will not return to Sunday's game against the Rockets.

Already without James Harden (groin), the Clippers will play the remainder of Sunday's game without Jones. He played 12 minutes before exiting during the second quarter, finishing with two points. Jordan Miller and Nicolas Batum will absorb the minutes that would have gone to Jones.
