Dunn racked up three points (1-4 FG, 1-2 3Pt), one rebound, one assist and two steals over 16 minutes during Saturday's 120-101 loss to the Nuggets in Game 7 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.
Dunn shifted to the bench for Saturday's do-or-die encounter, a move that yielded very little in terms of tangible production. Despite being a constant on the defensive end of the floor, Dunn's lack of offensive upside proved to be a major issue. Across the seven-game series, Dunn scored in double digits only twice while scoring no more than six points in the remaining five games.

Rotowire
Dunn closed Tuesday's 131-115 loss to the Nuggets in Game 5 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs with 15 points (6-7 FG, 3-4 3Pt), two assists, one block and two steals in 25 minutes.
Dunn found his rhythm Tuesday after some struggles in previous games -- he had a combined 15 points in his previous three outings. During the postseason, Dunn has shot 41.7 percent from the field, averaging 7.8 points, 4.6 rebounds, 1.2 assists, 0.8 blocks, 1.2 steals and 1.8 three-pointers in 25.4 minutes per game.

Rotowire
Dunn closed with five points (2-7 FG, 1-4 3Pt), six rebounds, two assists, one block and three steals across 29 minutes during Monday's 105-102 win over Denver in Game 2 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.
Dunn had a muted offensive performance in Game 2 but made an impact defensively, helping the Clippers tie the series at one game apiece. The defensive-minded guard recorded three or more steals 22 times during the 2024-25 campaign and four or more swipes eight times, making him a menace for opposing teams.
Dunn closed with nine points (4-6 FG, 1-2 3Pt), two rebounds, three assists, one block and three steals across 31 minutes during Wednesday's 134-117 win over Houston.
Dunn has now recorded at least three steals in back-to-back games and in 20 total outings this season. Although Dunn isn't a consistent scoring threat, his season average of 1.7 steals per contest ranks fourth in the entire NBA.

Clippers' Kris Dunn: Well-rounded showing in victory
Rotowire
Dunn ended with 11 points (4-8 FG, 3-5 3Pt), seven rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal over 19 minutes during Wednesday's 114-98 victory over the Pelicans.
Dunn checked a few boxes for Los Angeles during Wednesday's win over New Orleans, coming three rebounds shy of a double-double. The 30-year-old is averaging 6.4 points, 3.5 rebounds, 2.9 assists and 1.7 steals per game, shooting 42.9 percent from the floor and 32.1 percent from beyond the arc this season.
Dunn ended with seven points (3-5 FG, 1-1 3Pt), three rebounds, one assist and one steal in 19 minutes during Sunday's 103-101 loss to the Thunder.
James Harden suffered quad and ankle injuries late in this contest, putting his status in jeopardy for Wednesday's game against the Knicks. Dunn, along with Ben Simmons, Bogdan Bogdanovic and Norman Powell, would be candidates for increased usage if Harden misses time. In 22.1 minutes per game over his last six contests, Dunn has averaged 5.8 points, 2.5 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 1.3 steals.

Clippers' Kris Dunn: Rare scoreless outing Friday
Rotowire
Dunn amassed zero points (0-4 FG, 0-1 3Pt), three rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal over 22 minutes during Friday's 121-98 win over the Hawks.
Dunn was held scoreless for the first time since the Jan. 19 win over the Lakers. Although the veteran swingman has started each of his last 13 outings post-All-Star break, Dunn has averaged just 6.7 points, 3.8 rebounds, 3.7 assists, 2.5 steals and 0.6 blocks in 28.6 minutes during that span and doesn't have a big role offensively while James Harden and Kawhi Leonard are healthy.
Clippers' Kris Dunn: Another three steals Wednesday
Rotowire
Dunn finished Wednesday's 123-115 win over the Pistons with eight points (3-3 FG, 2-2 3Pt), four rebounds, six assists, one block and three steals over 30 minutes.
Dunn continues to rack up the defensive numbers, having recorded 37 steals over his past 13 games. Norman Powell has missed significant time of late with two separate injuries, allowing Dunn to step back into the starting lineup. While his offense remains sporadic at best, he should continue to be an elite wing defender on a team hunting as many wins as possible down the stretch.
