Comes back down to earth Covington had eight points (3-7 FG, 2-6 3Pt), two rebounds, one assist, one block and two steals across 18 minutes during Sunday's 119-100 victory over the Pelicans.

Impact Coming off of a career night Friday against the Bucks (43 points, 11 threes), Covington returned to a reduced role off the bench with the Clippers back at (close to) full strength. That 43-point effort was a major anomaly for the rangy wing, but he continues to be one of the more reliable defensive contributors in all of fantasy basketball. Covington is on pace to close the regular season as the only player in the NBA with at least 90 steals and 90 blocks.

Turns in career night against Bucks Covington erupted for a career-high 43 points (15-24 FG, 11-18 3Pt, 2-2 FT) and added eight rebounds, three blocks, two assists and two steals across 46 minutes Friday in the Clipp...

Impact With both teams playing on the second leg of a back-to-back set, supporting players for the Clippers and Bucks were thrust into larger roles, and none capitalized on the opportunity as much as Covington. After combining to produce 23 points across his past three starts, Covington nearly had that total in the third quarter alone, when he notched 17 of his points. He achieved most of his offensive production thanks to some hot shooting from downtown, with his 11 triples also establishing a career high and matching the best mark from any NBA player in a single game this season. Though Covington's big performance is sure to attract attention in any shallow leagues where he might be available, his usage will almost certainly plummet in LA's next game Sunday against the Pelicans, when all of Marcus Morris (knee), Paul George (elbow), Reggie Jackson (rest) and Nicolas Batum (ankle) are expected to return to action.

Starting at Milwaukee Covington will start Friday's game against the Bucks, Andrew Greif of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Impact Both teams are throwing out a skeleton crew in this matchup. This will be Covington's first start with the Clippers. In his 40 starts with the Trail Blazers, he averaged 7.7 points, 5.6 rebounds, 1.4 assists, 1.4 steals and 1.2 blocks in 29.7 minutes.

Available Friday Covington (hand) is available for Friday's matchup with the 76ers, Farbod Esnaashari of SI Now reports.

Impact Covington is nursing a hand injury but will ultimately play through it. Barring any setbacks, look for him to take on his usual role off the bench.

MARCH 26, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable for Friday Covington (hand) is listed as questionable for Friday's matchup with the 76ers, Tomer Azarly of ClutchPoints.com reports.

Impact Covington's status for Friday is up in the air as of now, as the forward sustained a right hand sprain in the Clippers' loss to Denver. If Covington is unable to suit up, Nicolas Batum or Marcus Morris may be forced into a large workload.

MARCH 24, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Paces Clippers with 18 points Covington supplied 18 points (6-14 FG, 4-10 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds, one assist, two blocks and three steals in 30 minutes during Friday's 121-92 loss to the Jazz.

Impact In a game during which Los Angeles fell behind by 37 points at halftime and had no starter score in double-digits, the most surprising development may have been Covington finishing as the team's leading point-producer. The defensive-minded forward entered Friday averaging just 8.1 points since joining the team, and he hadn't scored 18 points in any contest since Jan. 10. This offensive output isn't likely to be a trend moving forward, so his viability in fantasy will likely continue to depend almost entirely on his ability to rack up defensive stats, as he also did Friday.

Notches three thefts in return Covington closed Wednesday's 103-100 loss to the Raptors with seven points (3-6 FG, 1-3 3Pt), four rebounds and three steals in 21 minutes.

Impact Covington missed each of the Clippers' previous five games due to a personal matter, but he was able to return to the court Wednesday. The veteran forward was quiet as usual offensively, but he did rack up a team-high three steals. Defense remains his primary draw in fantasy -- he is averaging 1.4 steals and 1.2 blocks in 13 games with the Clippers, but those numbers are accompanied by less-useful averages of 8.1 points, 5.2 rebounds and 1.0 assists per game.

MARCH 17, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Off injury report Covington (personal) is off the injury report for Wednesday's game against the Raptors, Justin Russo of the 'Clip & Roll' podcast reports.

Impact After five straight absences due to a personal matter, Covington should be back in the rotation. In his 12 appearances with the Clippers, he's averaged 8.2 points, 5.3 rebounds, 1.3 steals, 1.3 blocks and 1.1 assists in 20.7 minutes.

Remains out Monday Covington (personal) won't play Monday against the Cavaliers, Tomer Azarly of ClutchPoints.com reports.

Impact Covington will miss a fifth consecutive game due to a personal matter. With Marcus Morris getting a rest day on Monday, Nicolas Batum could be in line for a heavy workload against the Cavs. Covington's next chance to return will be Wednesday against Toronto.

MARCH 14, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Out Sunday Covington (personal) is out Sunday against the Pistons, Andrew Greif of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Impact Covington will miss a fourth straight game due to a personal matter. It's not clear when he'll return, and Nicolas Batum and Amir Coffey remain candidates to see more minutes in the meantime.

Officially out Wednesday Covington (personal) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Wizards, Law Murray of The Athletic reports.

Impact Covington will miss a second consecutive game while tending to a personal matter, and coach Tyronn Lue said Tuesday that he isn't sure how long the forward will be away from the team. Semi Ojeleye, Rodney Hood and Brandon Boston should see an uptick in playing time while Covington is sidelined.

Unclear how long he may be out Clippers head coach Tyronn Lue said Tuesday that the team isn't sure how long Covington (personal) will be sidelined for, Law Murray of The Athletic reports.

Impact Covington has already been ruled out for Tuesday's contest against the Warriors, but Lue's comment suggests the defensive-minded forward may be out for an extended period. Lue said that "it could be" a chance for Semi Ojeleye or Rodney Hood to step up, but he also added "it lets Brandon Boston play a little bit more" as well. It appears that the Clippers' rotation minus Covington will be a fluid situation, so fantasy managers should monitor the situation closely.
