Fills stat sheet in big win Covington closed Thursday's 132-111 victory over the Lakers with 12 points (4-9 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds, three assists and two steals in 27 minutes.

Impact Covington enjoyed a strong all-around performance in the rout, finishing with double-digit points for just the second time in his past six games and chipping in seven boards. The forward rounded out his line with two thefts and his most assists since Feb. 2. Covington has been a solid source of defensive stats and boards of late, though it would be unwise to count on him as a scorer on any given night.

Increases production for Clippers Covington registered 11 points (3-6 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 3-4 FT), two rebounds, two assists, one block and two steals across 27 minutes during Monday's 119-104 victory over the Warriors.

Impact Covington managed his first double-digit scoring performance in three games and played 27 minutes in the big win after combining for just 22 minutes across his previous two contests. His output Monday was by no means eye-opening, but it at least was closer to the production he registered prior to joining Los Angeles, especially on the defensive end. So far, it appears that Covington's reduced playing time for the Clippers could push him away from being a must-roster player in fantasy.

Plays 23 minutes in debut Covington provided 13 points (4-7 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds and one steal over 23 minutes during Sunday's 137-113 loss to the Bucks.

Impact Playing in his first game with the Clippers after coming over from Portland via trade Friday, Covington settled into a solid role off the bench, essentially serving as the top reserve at forward behind Marcus Morris and Nicolas Batum. It's unclear if he'll eventually usurp one of those two players for a starting spot, but either way Covington should play enough minutes to continue providing his usual, all-around production. The veteran's scoring and efficiency have dropped off considerably over the last two seasons, making him a less-attractive fantasy option, but he's still averaging 1.5 steals and 1.3 blocks to go with 1.7 made three-pointers through 49 games this season.

Set to debut off bench Sunday Covington will be available to make his Clippers debut Sunday against the Bucks, Law Murray of The Athletic reports.

Impact Both Covington and Norman Powell will be options off the bench for coach Ty Lue after the pair came over from Portland via trade Friday. Given his lack of familiarity, Covington's role could initially be limited, but he figures to eventually take on a significant workload at both forward spots, whether he continues to come off the bench or is able to grab hold of a starting spot.

Impact Covington will presumably be competing with Nicolas Batum for a starting forward spot, but even if he comes off the bench, he could see minutes in the high-20s or low-30s. With Portland, he averaged 7.6 points, 5.7 rebounds, 1.5 steals, 1.4 assists and 1.3 blocks in 29.8 minutes.
