EDGE Analysis

Kennard shifted into the starting lineup and certainly made the most of his promotion. The performance was one of the few high points in what has been an underwhelming first season with the Clippers, and perhaps it can be the launching pad for increased production. Of course, Kennard's big night was fueled by Paul George (rest) was sitting out along with Kawhi Leonard (foot), who is set to miss at least the next week. George's likely return to action Friday in Houston will have an affect on him, but Kennard and Marcus Morris -- among other supporting players -- should still benefit from elevated roles while Leonard is on the shelf.
