Norman Powell

On a night when Kawhi Leonard (10/5/3/1) shot 4-of-9 from the field and committed five turnovers, other Clippers stepped up. Powell was one, extending his streak of games with 20 points or more to 11 straight. He's provided 5th-round value in 8- and 9-cat formats during that stretch. Powell and the Clippers play four games during Week 16, two on each side of the upcoming All-Star break.

Powell was one of two Clippers to lead the team with 22 points on Thursday despite shooting 8-of-20 from the field. Fantasy managers should not be concerned about the off shooting night, as he's made more than 52% of his attempts over the past two weeks. While Powell hasn't been as explosive offensively as when the Clippers were without Kawhi Leonard, he continues to offer top-50 fantasy value. He'll look to bounce back when the Clippers host Utah on Saturday.

As he's done throughout the season, Powell led his team in scoring, and he did it on an efficient 7-of-15 shooting. He's enjoying a career year, and fantasy managers who rolled the dice on him late in drafts have been handsomely rewarded with a third-round player.

Powell is back after sitting out Sunday's loss to the Raptors with a sore right hip. He'll occupy his usual place in the starting lineup, with Amir Coffey returning to the bench. There's no need to hold onto Coffey with the Clippers returning to full strength.
