John Collins

Offensively, Tuesday's performance was Collins's best since moving into the starting lineup on November 10. The 18 points were one shy of his season-high, and he ended a nasty streak in the assist category. His assist against the Lakers was the first for Collins since moving into the starting lineup, a stunning lack of production, even if he isn't a point guard. Collins is still rostered in 77 percent of Yahoo! leagues, which is more about his reputation entering the season than his production. Hopefully, Tuesday's performance will be the catalyst the veteran forward needs.

Leonard is back after a 10-game absence due to ankle and foot injuries. His return means Kobe Sanders will come off the bench in a change that does not affect Sanders' fantasy value. He was not a player who needed to be rostered before Leonard's return.

Leonard is ready to return, and that's great for fantasy managers and the Clippers. Los Angeles went 2-8 in the games its star forward missed, with John Collins replacing him in the starting lineup. With Leonard back in the fold, either Collins or Kobe Sanders will head to the bench.
