Kennard lost against Karl-Anthony Towns in the final round of the Three-Point Contest on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Kennard is widely known as one of the best shooters in the league and came close to winning this event, but Towns was more efficient in the final round and secured the victory. Kennard left his money ball rack at the end, but he missed the two three-point shots from deep and that came back to haunt him. Losing this event shouldn't take anything away from Kennard and his status as one of the best shooters in the league, though. He's hitting 44.8 percent of his treys this season.

Kennard (ankle) tallied 11 points (4-8 FG, 3-4 3Pt), four rebounds, four assists and one steal across 24 minutes Tuesday in the Clippers' 103-96 loss to the Suns.
EDGE Analysis
Kennard turned in a serviceable line in his return from a one-game absence, but his addition only further muddles the Clippers' ever-changing wing and forward rotation. Even with Norman Powell (foot) out indefinitely, the minutes and production from the likes of Kennard, Terance Mann, Amir Coffey, Robert Covington and Nicolas Batum are likely to remain highly volatile from game to game.

Kennard (ankle) is questionable for Tuesday's contest against the Suns, Law Murray of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Kennard missed his first game since Jan. 17 during the first half of the Clippers' back-to-back set Monday and is listed as questionable again for the second half. If he's unable to suit up, Brandon Boston, Amir Coffey and Rodney Hood are all candidates for increased roles.

EDGE Analysis

Kennard is questionable for Monday's game against the Warriors due to ankle soreness, Andrew Greif of the Los Angeles Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
Kennard has had a limited impact in each of the last four matchups, as he's averaged 5.8 points, 2.8 rebounds and 2.5 assists in 21.0 minutes per game during that time. If he's unavailable Monday, Brandon Boston, Amir Coffey and Rodney Hood should see additional playing time.

Kennard accumulated five points (2-4 FG, 1-3 3Pt), two rebounds and one assist across 19 minutes during Saturday's 99-97 win over the Mavericks.
EDGE Analysis
At the end of January, Kennard had strung together six straight impressive games, but he's since fallen off a cliff and is no longer an appealing wavier-wire add. With Norman Powell (toe) sidelined Saturday, it's not a great sign that Kennard saw only 19 minutes, though he did pick up four personals. Either way, when Powell is healthy, Kennard should remain in a relatively reduced role.

Kennard totaled 14 points (5-10 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 1-1 FT), 10 rebounds and four assists in 27 minutes during Sunday's 115-90 win over the Hornets.
EDGE Analysis
Kennard continues to come off the bench, which is slightly puzzling considering his excellent play since returning from a nine-game absence. He's outperforming Amir Coffey and Terance Mann by a wide margin, and his second-unit assignment isn't affecting his offensive impact. It may only be a matter of time before he finds his way back into the starting five.

Kennard ended with 23 points (7-14 FG, 5-11 3Pt, 4-4 FT), six rebounds, three assists and one steal across 31 minutes during Friday's 121-114 loss to the Heat.
EDGE Analysis
Kennard continues to play at a high level coming off the bench for the Clippers, as he has scored in double digits in each of his last five contests while surpassing the 20-point plateau in two of his last three appearances. He has averaged 16.0 points while shooting 48.4 percent from the field and 43.2 percent from deep over his last six games.

Kennard finished Wednesday's 111-102 victory over Orlando with 17 points (6-9 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 3-3 FT), five rebounds and one assist across 32 minutes.
EDGE Analysis
Kennard once again provided a spark off the bench, scoring in double figures for the fourth straight game. During that stretch, the fifth-year wing has averaged 16.5 points, 5.0 rebounds and 2.8 assists in 27.8 minutes. With Amir Coffey in the midst of a breakout campaign, Kennard will likely continue operating as a reserve, but he's still expected to garner enough usage to be worthy of fantasy consideration, especially in deeper leagues.
