Kennard chipped in 17 points (6-14 FG, 5-10 3Pt), four rebounds, four assists, two blocks and one steal across 36 minutes during Wednesday's 91-82 win over Boston.
EDGE Analysis
This was Kennard's first time reaching the 17-point mark since dropping 27 points against the Thunder on Dec. 18, as the guard had been struggling offensively across his past three outings entering Wednesday. Kennard has currently posted double figures in 17-of-33 appearances and has recorded at least 23 points in three different outings.

Kennard will start Sunday's game against the Nuggets, Law Murray of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
With Paul George (elbow) sidelined, Kennard will slide back into the lineup on the wing. Kennard has mostly played off the bench this season, but he's filled in for George on several occasions, including when the All-Star missed a string of games earlier this month with a previous elbow issue. George is expected to miss 3-to-4 weeks, so Kennard should be looking at an extended run in the starting five.

Kennard (hip) will be available Sunday against the Nuggets, Law Murray of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Kennard should see an expanded role for at least the next month as Paul George (elbow) sits out with a torn ligament. Over his past seven appearances, Kennard has averaged 15.9 points, 4.4 rebounds and 2.4 assists in 33.3 minutes.

Kennard will not play Wednesday against the Kings due to a sore right hip, Farbod Esnaashari of Sports Illustrated reports.
EDGE Analysis
Kennard apparently picked up the injury during Monday's game against the Spurs, which he finished with just five points (2-8 FG) in 28 minutes of action. The Duke product has started five of the last six games, so the Clippers will likely turn to Nicolas Batum or Justise Winslow on the wing Wednesday. They'll also need a replacement at point guard after Reggie Jackson was placed in health and safety protocols.

Kennard supplied 27 points (9-18 FG, 7-13 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds, three assists and one steal in 39 minutes during Saturday's 104-103 loss to Oklahoma City.
EDGE Analysis
Kennard came within a whisker of tallying his career-high in scoring, turning in what was another impressive performance. After what can only be described as a disastrous first season in Los Angeles, Kennard has found his groove over the past two weeks. We are yet to see if he can maintain his current form when the Clippers are at full strength but until that time, he needs to be rostered everywhere.

Kennard racked up 23 points (8-16 FG, 7-11 3Pt), three rebounds and five assists in 36 minutes during Saturday's 106-104 victory over the Magic.
EDGE Analysis
Kennard entered the starting lineup with Nicolas Batum (ankle) sitting out, and he stepped up in a big way. In the close win, Kennard matched his season-high 23 points, and he dished a season-high five assists. If Batum and Paul George (elbow) remain out Monday, Kennard will presumably draw his third start of the season.

Kennard will start Saturday's game against the Magic, Tomer Azarly of ClutchPoints.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
With Nicolas Batum (ankle) and Paul George (elbow) out, Terance Mann and Kennard will draw starts. It will mark Kennard's second start of the season. He's played well lately and is averaging 16.0 points and 4.2 rebounds while shooting 52.8 percent from the field over the past five games.

Kennard supplied 15 points (5-11 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT) and six rebounds across 36 minutes during Monday's 102-90 win over the Trail Blazers.
EDGE Analysis
Kennard moved into the starting lineup for the first time this season and finished with double-digit scoring for the fourth straight contest. He has knocked down multiple three-pointers in each game during that span and has converted at least one triple in each of the Clippers' contests this season. Kennard could be a worthwhile fantasy add given his recent surge, especially if his move to the starting unit sticks beyond Monday.

Kennard registered 19 points (7-10 FG, 5-8 3Pt), four rebounds and one steal in 23 minutes during Friday's 119-115 victory over Los Angeles.
EDGE Analysis
Kennard has had an up-and-down season thus far, but he's now scored 19 points in back-to-back games off the bench, with nine made threes in that span. Fantasy-wise, Kennard doesn't offer much outside of points and threes, so he's not an overly attractive option in most season-long formats.

Kennard amassed six points (2-5 FG, 2-4 3Pt), one rebound and one assist across 32 minutes during Tuesday's 112-104 OT loss to the Mavericks.
EDGE Analysis
Kennard was barely visible in the overtime loss, burning those who took a flier on him during what was a low-volume night. The playing time was right where it needed to be, it was simply Kennard who could not get anything going on the offensive end. Despite this dud, he can have some streaming appeal on most nights, especially until Nicolas Batum (health protocols) makes it back from his stint on the sidelines.
