Sun Nov 27 2022 | 14:50 | Paul George, Luke Kennard Won't Travel For Road Trip |
Los Angeles Clippers forward Paul George (hamstring) and guard Luke Kennard (hamstring) won't travel for the upcoming road trip. Both players are dealing with lingering injuries, so they will miss the next two games. Possibly, they can return when the Clippers return home on Saturday to play the Sacramento Kings. Until then, Marcus Morris Sr., Terance Mann and Amir Coffey will be asked to play increased roles. Kawhi Leonard is uncertain to travel as well, so these three players could very play big roles in Los Angeles. |

Thu Nov 17 2022 | 14:44 | Luke Kennard Out For At Least Two Games |
Los Angeles Clippers guard/forward Luke Kennard (calf) won't be available for the rest of the week, with him set to miss Thursday's matchup against Detroit and Saturday's clash with San Antonio. He played for just three minutes in Tuesday's loss to Dallas and is dealing with a right calf strain. Kennard is set to be re-evaluated next week. Norman Powell and Terance Mann should see more action until Kennard is ready to return. Powell is definitely the more attractive fantasy piece of the two, and he was actually on a nice scoring run before settling for just five points against the Mavericks. |

Thu Nov 17 2022 | 10:02 | Luke Kennard Doubtful For Thursday Night |
Los Angeles Clippers guard Luke Kennard (calf) has been tagged as doubtful for the team's game on Thursday night against the Detroit Pistons. He was forced to exit their last game after only playing three minutes. With Kawhi Leonard still sidelined, Kennard was starting in his place. If he can't suit up, Norman Powell and John Wall are likely to get more playing time and usage. Both of them serve as very good streaming options, but they're not available in that many leagues. Terance Mann could serve up some value, but he would only be worth it in very deep leagues. |

Los Angeles Clippers guard Luke Kennard (calf) has left Tuesday's game against the Dallas Mavericks with a calf strain and will not return. Kennard has been starting with Kawhi Leonard (knee) out, but only played about three minutes before leaving with the injury. Norman Powell should be the next man up for the Clippers while John Wall and Terrance Mann should see a boost in play time as well. |

Wed Nov 9 2022 | 20:54 | Luke Kennard To Start On Wednesday |
Los Angeles Clippers guard Luke Kennard will move into the starting five for Wednesday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers. Head coach Ty Lue has decided to shake up the starting five and move Terance Mann to the second unit. However, Mann remains a better fantasy option despite Kennard getting the start. Alongside him, the Clippers will start Reggie Jackson, Paul George, Marcus Morris Sr. and Ivica Zubac on Wednesday. |

Mon Nov 7 2022 | 21:02 | Luke Kennard Available Versus The Cavs |
Los Angeles Clippers guard Luke Kennard (chest) will play on Monday against the visiting Cavs. The 26-year-old missed a game due to chest discomfort but will return for his usual role off the bench. However, Kennard is averaging only 8.0 points and 3.7 rebounds in 22.8 minutes per game this season, so there's not much upside there for fantasy managers outside of his efficient three-point percentage. |

Sat Nov 5 2022 | 08:09 | Luke Kennard Leaves Game With Chest Discomfort |
Los Angeles Clippers guard/forward Luke Kennard couldn't complete Friday's game against San Antonio for a very worrying reason as he felt discomfort in his chest, but luckily it appears that he is fine. Clippers head coach Tyronn Lue announced after the game that Kennard was actually available to return, but the team decided to play it safe. The 26-year-old sniper logged nine minutes and finished with two points. Norman Powell got the start in the second half and notched 13 points with seven rebounds. Kennard doesn't have a lot of fantasy appeal, but he plays a very important role for the Clippers as a knockdown shooter, and he has been very good in his field of expertise this season, shooting a career-high 46.7 percent from downtown. |

Sat Oct 1 2022 | 01:21 | Luke Kennard Stays Hot From Deep On Friday |
Los Angeles Clippers guard Luke Kennard finished with a team-high 16 points during the preseason win over Israeli club Maccabi Ra'anana on Friday. Kennard picked up right where he left off from last season, sinking four of his five attempts from deep. The 26-year-old is coming off one of the best seasons of his career, averaging 11.9 points, 3.3 rebounds, and 2.1 assists while draining 44.9% of his tries from behind the arc. Kennard figures to have a regular, albeit limited, role in the rotation in 2022-23. However, unless someone on the roster goes down with an injury, his lack of consistent minutes will prevent him from being a routine fantasy contributor. |

Sun Jun 26 2022 | 20:02 | Luke Kennard Not On The Block |
Los Angeles Clippers guard Luke Kennard has been rumored to be on the trade block. However, multiple sources, including president of basketball operations Lawrence Frank, have dispelled those rumblings. The 26-year-old averaged 11.9 points in 2021-22 while finishing as the league's most accurate three-point shooter. Still, even if L.A. has a change of heart and sends him packing, he probably won't be a consistent source of fantasy production. Yet, he should have some solid outings occasionally during the season. |

Fri Apr 15 2022 | 21:41 | Luke Kennard Out Versus Pelicans |
Los Angeles Clippers guard Luke Kennard (hamstring) won't play during Friday's play-in matchup against the New Orleans Pelicans. Paul George (illness) isn't available either after testing positive for COVID-19, so L.A. will undoubtedly be lacking on the offensive end for this one. Head coach Ty Lue has remained mum regarding his starting lineup. However, it's feasible to assume Marcus Morris Sr., Reggie Jackson, Norman Powell, Ivica Zubac, and Terance Mann will all see an increase in fantasy production. |

Thu Apr 14 2022 | 21:25 | Luke Kennard Questionable For Friday Versus Pelicans |
Los Angeles Clippers shooting guard Luke Kennard (hamstring) is listed as questionable ahead of Friday's play-in game against the New Orleans Pelicans. He has been dealing with a sore right hamstring. He was unable to play in Wednesday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Due to his absence, Norman Powell went on to log 27 minutes off the bench. Powell scored 16 points while shooting 5-for-9 from the field in the game. If Kennard is forced to miss his second straight game, Powell should be a key bench player for the team once again on Friday. |

Tue Apr 12 2022 | 13:22 | Luke Kennard Will Miss Tuesday’s Contest |
LA Clippers shooting guard/small forward Luke Kennard (hamstring) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against Minnesota due to a sore right hamstring. Kennard did not make the trip with the team in an attempt to continue rehabbing the ailment. Without the sharpshooter on the wing, Norman Powell, Terance Mann, and Robert Covington could all be in line for added duties, particularly with the Timberwolves having finished the regular season playing at the league's fastest pace. Kennard's next chance to suit up will either be Friday with a Clippers loss or Saturday against the Grizzlies for Game 1 of the Western Conference playoffs. |

Mon Apr 11 2022 | 21:54 | Luke Kennard Tagged As Questionable For Tuesday |
Los Angeles Clippers guard Luke Kennard (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Tuesday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Kennard tweaked his hamstring on Sunday and is in danger of missing the play-in game on Tuesday. The Clippers are likely to update his status after Tuesday's shootaround. Norman Powell and Terance Mann would be asked to pick up the slack, assuming Kennard is unable to play. |

Los Angeles Clippers guard Luke Kennard (hamstring) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Phoenix Suns. He'll be a late scratch from this game due to right hamstring soreness. Hopefully, this isn't anything serious and the Clippers are being cautious with the playoffs looming. Luckily, Norman Powell (foot) will return on Wednesday and should see absorb some of Kennard's minutes. Also, Terance Mann should see more shots and minutes coming his way on Wednesday. |

Mon Mar 14 2022 | 18:05 | Terance Mann, Luke Kennard Draw Starting Duties Monday |
LA Clippers point/shooting guards Terance Mann and Luke Kennard will both be among the team's starting five for Monday's contest against Cleveland. With Reggie Jackson (rest) and Marcus Morris Sr. (rest) both sitting out, Mann and Kennard will jump off the page as upside DFS plays, irrespective of the Cavs' solid defense (fourth-best defensive efficiency). Mann's scoring has slightly dipped during March, but he has added 6.1 boards and three assists per contest in addition to knocking down all 12 free throw attempts. Kennard has knocked down at least three triples in each of his last six games, shooting 58.8% from behind the arc in that span. Fantasy managers can anticipate both players sliding back to the second unit Wednesday. |

Tue Feb 15 2022 | 21:47 | Luke Kennard Active On Tuesday |
Los Angeles Clippers guard Luke Kennard (ankle) will play during Tuesday's game against the Phoenix Suns. It's surprising to see Kennard returning here after sitting out on Monday. His return will likely hurt the fantasy value of Terance Mann. Although, Mann should still be able to do enough to warrant starting in most formats. Amir Coffey and Nicolas Batum won't have as big of roles with Kennard back in the rotation. |

Mon Feb 14 2022 | 20:54 | Luke Kennard Will Miss Monday’s Contest |
LA Clippers point/shooting guard Luke Kennard (ankle) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Warriors due to a sore left ankle. Kennard's offensive impact has been on a steady downhill slide over the past six games, five of which saw him score in single digits. The left-handed sharpshooter enters play Monday sixth in the league in three-point percentage (43%), which will likely earn him a roster spot in most season-long category formats for the time being. His absence figures to pave the way for Brandon Boston Jr. to see an elevated workload Monday, elevating him into DFS consideration as a last-minute pivot. |

Sat Jan 1 2022 | 18:06 | Luke Kennard Unavailable For Saturday |
Los Angeles Clippers guard Luke Kennard has entered the league's health and safety protocols ahead of Saturday's game against the Brooklyn Nets. That means, Kennard is likely to miss a few games while he follows the league's COVID-19 protocols. In the meantime, Eric Bledsoe, Terance Mann, and possibly Amir Coffey will see increased roles in the rotation. Both Bledsoe and Mann are strong streaming options with the Clippers shorthanded right now. |

Thu Dec 30 2021 | 08:32 | Luke Kennard Hits Five Triples Against Boston |
Los Angeles Clippers shooting guard Luke Kennard did a lot of damage from deep in Wednesday's victory over Boston, hitting 5-for-10 from downtown during a 17-point effort. He finished with 6-for-14 overall shooting and helped out in other areas as well with four rebounds, four assists, one steal and two blocks. Kennard is shooting 44 percent from deep for the season, but he's been very streaky in recent games. The 25-year-old hasn't put together back-to-back strong performances for a while, although Friday's matchup against Toronto is a good spot for him to do it. Their roster lacks quality all over the place at the minute and teams have shot 36 percent from deep against the Raptors this season. |

Sun Dec 26 2021 | 20:52 | Luke Kennard Moves Into Starting Five |
Los Angeles Clippers guard Luke Kennard will enter the starting five for Sunday's game against the Denver Nuggets. Paul George (elbow) is expected to miss around a month of action, so Kennard should see plenty of starts ahead of him. As a starter, Kennard is averaging 16.0 points, 4.8 rebounds, 2.7 dimes, and 3.8 triples this season. There will certainly be an uptick in value with George off the court. Kennard should be rostered in all formats and have plenty of DFS value with the Clippers lacking scoring options. |
