James Harden - Adds 20 points in win Harden notched 20 points (5-14 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 9-11 FT), three rebounds and seven assists in 29 minutes during Thursday's 118-101 victory over the Jazz.

Impact Harden delivered another steady performance on Thursday to help secure the sixth straight win for the Clippers. The veteran guard's three-point shot wasn't falling again, shooting one for six from downtown for the second straight game, but he continues to get to the free-throw line at will. The 36-year-old is averaging 10.2 made free throws on 11.4 attempts per game over the past five contests while posting 26.4 points, 3.2 rebounds and 6.2 assists in 34.6 minutes per game. While Harden's assist totals haven't been gaudy in recent games, he has committed one or fewer turnovers in each of the past two games, something he had done in only one other game this season.

Yanic Konan Niederhäuser - Grabs 10 rebounds in win Niederhauser amassed six points (3-7 FG), 10 rebounds, one assist and two blocks across 27 minutes during Thursday's 118-101 win over Utah.

Impact Niederhauser has taken on a larger role with Ivica Zubac (ankle) sidelined, logging 25 and 27 minutes over the past two games. The 2025 first-round pick finished second on the team in rebounds, with six of them being offensive boards, and tied for the team lead with two blocks. The rookie center is averaging 11.0 points, 8.0 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 1.5 blocks in 26 minutes over the past two games.

Cody Williams - Logs season-high 26 minutes Williams produced 18 points (6-10 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 4-5 FT) and one block in 26 minutes during Thursday's 118-101 loss to the Clippers.

Impact Williams saw an increase in playing time as the Jazz were short-handed and dealing with multiple injuries. The 21-year-old forward has played double-digit minutes in three straight games with Ace Bailey (hip) sidelined and was impactful as a scorer in Thursday's loss to the Clippers with a season-high 18 points. Williams' minutes should remain steady as long as Bailey is out, but his overall fantasy appeal remains limited.

Brice Sensabaugh - Chips in 20 points in loss Sensabaugh amassed 20 points (7-15 FG, 0-5 3Pt, 6-8 FT), three rebounds, three assists and two steals in 32 minutes during Thursday's 118-101 loss to the Clippers.

Impact Sensabaugh's four highest minute totals of the season have all come over the past four games, with Ace Bailey (hip) getting injured on Dec. 27 against the Spurs. The Ohio State product has played at least 32 minutes in each outing and recorded his fourth 20-point performance of the season on Thursday, seeing increased usage with Keyonte George (illness) and Lauri Markkanen (knee) also sidelined, though it came with a season-high five turnovers. The 22-year-old forward is averaging 14.0 points, 3.5 rebounds, 2.8 assists and 1.0 steals in 34.5 minutes per contest during that four-game stretch.

Impact Leonard was dominant once again in Thursday's win over the Jazz, recording his third game of the season with at least 40 points following his 55-point outburst on Dec. 28. The 34-year-old drilled a season high six three pointers en route to the Clippers' sixth straight win. The star forward is in the midst of a historic stretch during the six-game win streak, averaging 39.0 points, 8.5 rebounds, 4.0 assists, 2.7 steals and 1.5 blocks over 38.5 minutes per game. The only other players in NBA history to average those numbers or better over a six-game span are James Harden and Michael Jordan.
