Kawhi Leonard 'easing' back into action as Clippers visit Wolves Kawhi Leonard will try to take another step forward in his second game of the season when the Los Angeles Clippers tip off against the Minne...
Terance Mann - Can't miss in return Mann (finger) tallied 12 points (5-5 FG, 2-2 3Pt), three rebounds, two assists and one steal across 16 minutes in Saturday's 131-105 win over the Hawks.
Impact Though the season debut of Kawhi Leonard (knee) was the main focus, the Clippers got another key rotation piece back from a long-term absence in the form of Mann, who had missed the previous 11 games after requiring surgery to repair a fractured middle finger on his left hand. Mann displayed a deft shooting touch in his return, but the performance probably won't earn him a dramatic increase in playing time while the Clippers are now back to full strength. His fantasy utility will likely remain limited to deeper leagues.

De'Andre Hunter - Drops 18 points from bench Hunter produced 18 points (6-16 FG, 4-11 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, two assists and one steal across 28 minutes during Saturday's 131-105 loss to the Clippers.
Impact Although Hunter plays exclusively with the second unit, he's one of Atlanta's most consistent scorers and has a very dependable floor for fantasy purposes. A 10-game absence earlier in the season took him off the fantasy radar, but he's averaged a reliable 20.0 points, 3.8 rebounds and 1.3 assists since his return to action.

Garrison Mathews - Bounced back with 15 points Mathews registered 15 points (4-10 FG, 4-10 3Pt, 3-3 FT), eight rebounds, three assists and one steal in 26 minutes during Saturday's 131-105 loss to the Clippers.
Impact After recording a goose egg agains the Lakers, Mathews returned with a respectable outing. Mathews' totals are too sporadic for fantasy usage, but the Hawks have been extremely injury-prone this season, and the sixth-year pro will come in handy if the injury bug continues to bite.

Trae Young - Leads team with double-double Young produced 20 points (7-16 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 2-3 FT), four rebounds, 14 assists and one steal across 34 minutes during Saturday's 131-105 loss to the Clippers.
Impact the Hawks looked a little lost without Jalen Johnson's (shoulder) regular contributions, but Young did what he could do keep the team afloat. The blowout loss highlighted Atlanta's reliance on Johnson to keep the offensive engine humming, Although Young was effective in moving the ball to other playmakers and drilled four three-pointers, his shot volume needs to be much higher for the Hawks to succeed.
