Kobe Sanders hits four triples, scores 16 points

LAC Guard #4

Player Stats

Kobe Sanders amassed 16 points (6-of-9 FGs), three rebounds, one steal and four three-pointers in Sunday’s loss to the Warriors.

Sanders had his most productive game of the season so far, setting new highs in points and three-pointers. He’s now played at least 20 minutes in four straight games, logging 30 against the Warriors. Sunday’s performance isn’t enough to get him on the radar in most fantasy leagues, but it may ensure Sanders a place in head coach Tyronn Lue’s rotation while the Clippers await the returns of Brandon Ingram and Max Strus.

Rui Hachimura

LAC Forward #28

Rui Hachimura (quad) is not on the injury report for Wednesday’s game against the Heat.

Hachimura did not play in Monday’s loss to the Raptors, as Kobe Sanders moved into the starting lineup and scored a career-high 26 points. Sanders will return to the bench, which significantly limits his fantasy value.
Kobe Sanders

LAC Guard #4

Kobe Sanders produced 26 points (8-of-17 FGs, 5-of-5 FTs), four rebounds, three assists, one block and five three-pointers in Monday’s loss to the Raptors.

The Clippers didn’t have Derrick Jones Jr. or Rui Hachimura for Monday’s game, so Sanders made his second start of the season. The second-year wing had the best night of his NBA career, dropping a career-high 26 points. Sanders scored 13 points in both halves, but he may have run out of steam late. Shooting 1-of-5 from the field, Sanders scored five points in the fourth quarter, and the Clippers shot 30.4 percent as a team. That’s how a team goes from leading by 13 to losing by seven.
Gradey Dick

LAC Guard-Forward #9

Darius Garland, Gradey Dick, Kris Dunn, Kobe Sanders and Brook Lopez will start Monday’s game against the Raptors.

The Clippers are down three starters for Monday’s game, with Rui Hachimura, Derrick Jones Jr. and Isaiah Jackson unavailable. They’ve been replaced in the lineup by Gradey, Sanders and Lopez. Of the three, Lopez may be the safest option for fantasy managers.
Derrick Jones

LAC Forward #5

Derrick Jones Jr. (knee) finished Sunday’s loss to the Warriors with nine points (3-of-11 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), seven rebounds, one assist and one three-pointer.

Jones exited Sunday’s game late in the third quarter with a sore knee and did not return. That casts some doubt on his availability for Monday’s game against the Raptors. If Jones can’t play, Kobe Sanders may move into the starting lineup.
Rui Hachimura

LAC Forward #28

Rui Hachimura (quad) will start Friday’s game against the Timberwolves.

Hachimura is back after a one-game absence and will return to his usual starting role. As a result, Kobe Sanders, who started Wednesday’s loss to the Lakers, is back on the bench.
Rui Hachimura

LAC Forward #28

The Athletic’s Law Murray reports that Rui Hachimura (quad) has been upgraded to probable for Friday’s matchup with the Timberwolves.

Hachimura is expected to return from a one-game absence, which should push Kobe Sanders back to the bench after a spot start against the Lakers.
Rui Hachimura

LAC Forward #28

Rui Hachimura (quad) is questionable to play against the Timberwolves on Friday.

Hachimura missed Wednesday’s game against the Lakers, which allowed Kobe Sanders to start. Sanders contributed nine points and three steals as a starter and would likely get the nod again if Hachimura remains out.
Kobe Sanders

LAC Guard #4

Kobe Sanders scored nine points (2-of-7 FGs, 4-of-4 FTs) with four rebounds, three steals and one three-pointer in Wednesday’s loss to the Lakers.

With Rui Hachimura (quad) sidelined, the Clippers turned to Sanders to fill the void in the starting lineup. Beyond the steals, the production on Wednesday was limited. Sanders should only be rostered in extremely deep redraft leagues and dynasty leagues, even if Hachimura can’t play on Friday against the Timberwolves.
Rui Hachimura

LAC Forward #28

Clippers reporter Ohm Youngmisuk reports that Rui Hachimura is dealing with a quad injury that will keep him sidelined Wednesday against the Lakers, and Kobe Sanders will start in his place.

Hachimura is considered day-to-day, so it’s unclear how long he’ll be out. Sanders makes an interesting streaming option for Wednesday’s cross-town showdown with the other Los Angeles team.
Bradley Beal

LAC Guard #3

Bradley Beal (knee) is out for Friday’s game against the Lakers.

Beal will miss a second straight game due to right knee injury management. Kobe Sanders and Gradey Dick played rotation minutes off the bench in Wednesday’s win over the Kings, with the latter scoring 12 points in 19 minutes. Look for more of the same on Friday night.
