With Ivica Zubac away from the team to attend the birth of his child, Lopez moves into the starting lineup. There will also be rotation minutes for rookie Yanc Konan-Niederhauser, but he isn't worth streaming in this spot.

Kawhi Leonard scored 21 points, James Harden had 16 points and 10 assists, and the Los Angeles Clippers beat the Utah Jazz 115-103 on Tuesday night for their ninth win in 10 games. Kris Dunn added 14 points and a season-best five steals for the Clippers (22-24), who have the best record in the NBA since Christmas. The Clippers took control during a 10-2 run in the third quarter powered powered by Dunn s two steals and layups, along with a 3-pointer that made it 73-61.

Dunn's fantasy impact this season, and for the last few seasons, has been strictly wrapped up in steals. That held true in this game as he matched his season high for swipes, but he was also able to have a strong night as a scorer. He isn't a reliable option in standard leagues, but in deeper leagues that are utilizing Dunn as a category specialist, this was a pleasant surprise. Managers shouldn't expect him to keep this up moving forward, even if it was a solid night.
