Harden scores 31, Leonard has 26 and the Clippers beat the Nets 121-105

James Harden scored 31 points, Kawhi Leonard had 26 and the Los Angeles Clippers beat the Brooklyn Nets 121-105

5 HOURS AGO • Associated Press

James Harden - Posts 31 points in victory Harden registered 31 points (10-13 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 8-8 FT), six assists, four rebounds, two blocks and one steal across 35 minutes in Friday's 121-105 win over the Nets.

Impact After shooting just 35.3 percent from the field in Wednesday's loss to the Knicks, Harden bounced back with an extremely efficient performance Friday. The star guard scored a game-high 31 points while leading the Clippers in assists. Additionally, he chipped in a season-high-tying two blocks, tallying multiple swats for the fourth time this season and for the first time since Nov. 17. He had shot just 37.3 percent from the field and 29.4 percent from beyond the arc in his previous five games entering Friday's contest, so his efficiency against Brooklyn is a welcome sight.

Kawhi Leonard - Cleared to play Friday Leonard (ankle) is available for Friday's game against the Nets, Law Murray of The Athletic reports.

Impact Leonard will shake off his questionable tag due to a right ankle sprain and suit up in the first leg of this back-to-back set. The star forward has been on a tear of late, averaging 32.7 points, 7.7 rebounds, 4.2 assists, 2.4 steals and 1.2 blocks across 37.1 minutes per contest over his last 10 games.

Kawhi Leonard - Picks up ankle injury Leonard is questionable for Friday's game against the Nets due to a right ankle sprain, NBA writer Justin Russo reports.

Impact Leonard stepped on a fan during Wednesday's loss to the Knicks, per Russo, resulting in a turned right ankle. The team should have a better idea on whether he'll suit up closer to tipoff.

Ivica Zubac - Posts another double-double in loss Zubac accumulated 22 points (11-14 FG), 11 rebounds, two assists and two blocks over 30 minutes during Wednesday's 123-111 loss to the Knicks.

Impact Zubac seems to have returned back to form after missing five games due to an ankle injury, as he converted 11 of his 14 field goals and grabbed a season-high eight offensive boards. Zubac's return means less minutes for Brook Lopez, who already has been trending downwards despite starting while the former was sidelined.

John Collins - Double-doubles in loss Collins provided 18 points (7-9 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 1-1 FT), 10 rebounds and one steal in 33 minutes during Wednesday's 123-111 loss to the Knicks.

Impact Collins has been scorching from the field in his last five games, as he is averaging 16.4 points on 72.1 percent from the field and 2.2 threes on a 61.1 percent clip in that span. After losing Derrick Jones (knee) again for the next six weeks, the team will likely rely on Collins and Nicolas Batum to round out the power forward position.

Kawhi Leonard - Drops 25 points in loss Leonard totaled 25 points (10-20 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 2-3 FT), three rebounds, four assists and three steals over 36 minutes during Wednesday's 123-111 loss to the Knicks.

Impact Leonard has been on quite the tear recently, as he is averaging 34.1 points, 7.1 rebounds, 4.1 assists, 2.5 steals, 1.3 blocks and 3.4 threes across 37.1 minutes in his last eight appearances. Although he has cooled off in his last three contests, as he has failed to cross the 30-point threshold in that span, his offensive activity has been essential to the Clippers' success.

Kris Dunn - Cools off in loss Dunn recorded seven points (2-9 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds and one assist across 32 minutes during Wednesday's 123-111 loss to the Knicks.

Impact Dunn was unable to follow up his strong performance against the Warriors on Monday, shooting poorly from the field and recording no defensive stats for just the fourth time this season. While Dunn has not been consistent in his shot efficiency, he is averaging 8.5 points, 3.0 rebounds, 3.4 assists, 1.4 steals, 0.2 blocks and 1.2 threes across 28.0 minutes in 30 starts and continues to be an integral part of the Clippers' first unit.

James Harden - Nearly double-doubles in loss Harden (shoulder) logged 23 points (6-17 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 7-7 FT), three rebounds, nine assists and one steal in 38 minutes during Wednesday's 123-111 loss to the Knicks.

Impact Harden was questionable to play Wednesday with a shoulder injury that held him out of Monday's contest with Golden State, but ultimately played through the injury and drained four three-pointers, his most since Dec. 20. Harden has not been shooting well from the field recently, averaging 22.0 points on just 37.3 percent from the field and 29.4 percent from beyond the arc, and he will look to get back on track Friday against the Nets.
