Clippers' Norman Powell: Leads team in blowout loss
Rotowire
Powell accumulated 20 points (7-15 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 3-4 FT), two rebounds, three assists and one block over 31 minutes during Tuesday's 122-97 loss to the Lakers.
Powell posted a customary solid total despite the horrid team result. The veteran appeared fine despite missing Sunday's game with a hip injury. A back ailment also forced Powell to miss some time last month, but he's managed exceptional totals otherwise.

Clippers' Norman Powell: Not playing Sunday due to injury
Rotowire
Powell has been ruled out of Sunday's game against the Raptors due to right hip soreness, Broderick Turner of the Los Angeles Times reports.
Powell is in the midst of the best NBA season of his career, averaging 24.1 points per game on 49.9 percent shooting (including 43.6 percent from three on 7.8 3PA/G). However, the 10th-year guard out of UCLA is working through a sore right hip and will miss his ninth game of the 2024-25 regular season. Terance Mann and Amir Coffey are the top candidates to be inserted into the starting lineup Sunday due to the absences of Powell and Kris Dunn (knee).

Clippers' Norman Powell: Drops team-high 27 in win
Rotowire
Powell closed with 27 points (11-15 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 3-7 FT), three rebounds, four assists and two steals across 36 minutes during Friday's 112-104 win over Charlotte.
The veteran wing put the finishing touches on a big January, leading the Clippers in scoring and producing 20-plus points with multiple three-pointers for the eighth straight appearance and the 12th time in his last 13 games.

Clippers' Norman Powell: Extends scoring streak
Rotowire
Powell logged 23 points (8-14 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 4-5 FT), five rebounds, two assists and four steals over 38 minutes during Monday's 111-109 loss to the Suns.
Powell has scored at least 20 points in each of his last six games and 10 of his previous 11 appearances. Thus, it's safe to say the return of Kawhi Leonard to the lineup hasn't impacted Powell's status as a reliable scoring option or his fantasy value in most formats. Powell is averaging a solid stat line of 23.2 points, 3.9 rebounds and 1.6 assists per game since the beginning of January.

Clippers' Norman Powell: Hits for 33 points
Rotowire
Powell finished with 33 points (11-23 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 8-8 FT), six rebounds and two blocks over 36 minutes during Saturday's 127-117 victory over the Bucks.
Kawhi Leonard's return to action hasn't affected Powell's bottom line in the slightest, and he's actually had some of his best totals of the season with the All-Star back in the lineup. Although he's essentially the team's replacement for Paul George, Powell could have seen a cut in production to make room for Leonard, but the oft-injured forward's impact has been minimal since his return.

Clippers' Norman Powell: Team-leading 27 points in loss
Rotowire
Powell (back) chipped in a team-high 27 points (9-22 FG, 3-10 3Pt, 6-7 FT), two rebounds, two assists and one steal over 38 minutes during Monday's 112-99 loss to the Bulls.
Powell was able to fight off a back injury and suit up for the Clippers on Monday, scoring a team-high 27 points while attempting his most field goals since Dec. 28 in the absence of the resting Kawhi Leonard. Although Powell has worked as Los Angeles' clear-cut top-scoring option for most of the season, it remains to be seen how his role might be affected once Leonard can take on a full workload. Even if a slight dip in usage is eventually coming, Powell should remain a strong source of points, threes and steals from a fantasy perspective.

Rotowire
Powell (back) is available for Sunday's game against the Lakers, Law Murray of The Athletic reports.
Powell was one of several starters who carried a questionable tag for Sunday's matchup, but the veteran will be available and should operate as one of the Clippers' go-to options on offense. He's having a career-best season with averages of 23.7 points, 3.5 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 1.3 steals per game across 33 starts in 2024-25.

Powell is questionable for Sunday's game against the Lakers with lower back soreness, ESPN's Ohm Youngmisuk reports.
The Clippers submitted a lengthy injury report for Sunday, as James Harden (illness), Ivica Zubac (back) and Kris Dunn (knee) are also questionable. Sunday's game is the first leg of a back-to-back set, so the Clippers may exercise caution in one of these games. If Powell ends up sitting, guys like Kevin Porter, Amir Coffey and Terance Mann could see extended minutes.

Powell provided 23 points (7-12 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 6-9 FT), five rebounds and three assists over 26 minutes during Thursday's 118-89 win over the Trail Blazers.
Powell was the only Clipper who reached the 20-point mark in this win, and he continues to have an impressive season even when sharing the court alongside other ball-dominant players such as James Harden and Kawhi Leonard, who rested for this matchup.

Clippers' Norman Powell: Scores team-high 29 points
Rotowire
Powell accumulated 29 points (12-17 FG, 5-8 3Pt), six rebounds, one assist and three steals over 36 minutes during Monday's 109-98 victory over Miami.
Kawhi Leonard had a rough outing Monday, but Powell stepped up and carried the Clippers to victory with an efficient shooting display. This was Powell's third straight game with at least 25 points, his fourth consecutive with at least 20 points, and the eighth time across his last 10 appearances in which he reached that tally. Powell is having a career-best season from a scoring perspective, and while it's too early to determine whether Leonard's return will impact his numbers, it seems the regression won't be as heavy as initially expected.

This surpasses his previous personal best by almost 5.0 points per game.
