Wed Nov 9 202220:54Luke 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 202221:02Luke 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 202208:09Luke 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 202201:21Luke 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 202220:02Luke 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 202221:41Luke 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 202221:25Luke 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 202213:22Luke 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 202221:54Luke 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.

Wed Apr 6 202221:16Luke Kennard Won't Play On Wednesday
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 202218:05Terance 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 202221:47Luke 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 202220:54Luke 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 202218:06Luke 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 202108:32Luke 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 202120:52Luke 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.

Wed Dec 22 202117:47Luke Kennard Out On Wednesday
Los Angeles Clippers shooting guard Luke Kennard (hip) will miss Wednesday's contest against the Kings. The 25-year-old sharpshooter has enjoyed a productive month by getting over 16 points per game, but he'll have to take a seat now with right hip soreness. With Reggie Jackson (health and safety protocols) also out, there are a lot of backcourt minutes to be handed out. Eric Bledsoe looks set to re-enter the starting five and Brandon Boston Jr. could get plenty of burn. After the clash with Sacramento, the Clippers will be off until Sunday and it will give Kennard a good chance to get back into the lineup for the next game.

Sat Dec 11 202119:55Luke Kennard Hits Seven Triples Against Orlando
Los Angeles Clippers shooting guard Luke Kennard had a wonderful game from deep with a 7-for-11 record on Saturday against Orlando, finishing a 106-104 victory with 8-for-16 overall shooting and 23 points. He added five assists and three rebounds to his tally with zero turnovers in 36 minutes. Kennard has been a disappointment ever since signing a big contract with the Clippers, but he's hit some form this month and is now riding with the starters, with Paul George (elbow) out of commission. The 25-year-old will be a nice pickup for fantasy managers if George is set to miss an extended period. He sat out a second consecutive game on Saturday.

Tue Oct 26 202109:08Luke Kennard Scores Game-High 23 Points On Monday
Los Angeles Clippers shooting guard Luke Kennard helped lead the team to a 116-86 victory over the Portland Trail Blazers on Monday. He scored a game-high 23 points while shooting 8-for-10 from the field, including 6-for-7 from beyond the arc. He also added four rebounds, three assists and a block. Kennard was one of the league's most efficient three-point shooters last year. He shot 44.6% from downtown last season while averaging 3.6 attempts per game. This year, he's averaging 5.3 three-point attempts per game so far. He may not do much else from a fantasy standpoint, but he should be a solid source of three-pointers on a routine basis going forward.

Tue Jan 5 202122:46Clippers' Paul George sits out with ankle injury vs Spurs
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Paul George sat out for the Los Angeles Clippers against the San Antonio Spurs on Tuesday night. Clippers coach Tyronn Lue said George tweaked his ankle in Sunday's win over Phoenix and how he warmed up would determine whether he played against the Spurs. “He's going to be the one gauging it,” Lue said before the game. George is averaging 25.1 points, 5.7 rebounds and 5.1 assists per game. Los Angeles guard Luke Kennard started in George's place. Also out for the Clippers was Marcus Morris Sr., who has yet to play this season because of a sore right knee. ___ More AP NBA: https://apnews.com/NBA and https://twitter.com/AP_Sports
