The LA Clippers are dealing with injuries to
Bradley Beal (OFS) and
Derrick Jones Jr., with
James Harden and
Nicolas Batum listed as GTD. This makes
Kawhi Leonard the focal point of their offense, supported by
Chris Paul,
Bogdan Bogdanović, and
Ivica Zubac. The Memphis Grizzlies are severely undermanned, with
Javon Small,
John Konchar,
Scotty Pippen Jr.,
Ty Jerome, and
Zach Edey all out, and
Brandon Clarke (GTD). This catastrophic injury list makes
Ja Morant and
Jaren Jackson Jr. absolute must-plays in DFS due to projected sky-high usage.
Kentavious Caldwell-Pope and
Santi Aldama will also see increased opportunities. Expect the Clippers to try and exploit the Grizzlies' depleted roster, with
Kawhi Leonard likely to have a dominant performance. If
James Harden plays, he too could feast on the shorthanded Grizzlies backcourt, offering a high-upside play.
