Coffey has reached double figures in three of his last five games, and the 17 points scored on Saturday were the most for him since January 22 (24 vs. Boston). However, the Clippers wing is only rostered in 2% of Yahoo leagues for a reason. With Kawhi Leonard available, Coffey's fantasy ceiling is limited, and he offers a low floor. Even with his performance against the Jazz, Coffey is a player who can only be rostered on nights when the Clippers are shorthanded.
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.
Coffey will slide into the starting lineup in place Norman Powell, who is sidelined for this game with a shoulder injury. Coffey has averaged 25.0 points across his last two starts, but with the rest of their lineup healthy and available, managers should temper their expectations.
Powell is dealing with right hip soreness. The 31-year-old small forward has been a scoring machine for the Clippers this year. He poured in 27 points in Friday's win over the Hornets. Powell has continued to produce even since the return of Kawhi Leonard. Amir Coffey and Terance Mann are the most likely beneficiaries of Powell's absence.
Leonard was one of four starters held out of Wednesday's overtime loss to the Celtics due to the Clippers' congested schedule. He'll do what he's usually done since making his season debut, likely playing 23-25 minutes. Amir Coffey will lose playing time but remain in the rotation.
