Kennard finished with 28 points (10-16 FG, 6-7 3Pt, 2-3 FT), seven rebounds, two assists and one block in 38 minutes during Wednesday's 117-105 victory over the Grizzlies.
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.

Kennard will come off the bench Sunday against Minnesota, Tomer Azarly of Clutch Points reports.
EDGE Analysis
With Kawhi Leonard (foot) back from a four-game absence, Kennard will return to a bench role. The Duke product averaged 8.8 points, 4.0 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 1.2 threes across five starts from April 9 through April 16.

Kennard mustered 17 points (5-17 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 6-7 FT), 10 rebounds, an assist and a steal across 39 minutes in Wednesday's win over the Pistons.
EDGE Analysis
Kennard has started four games in a row with the recent absences of Kawhi Leonard (foot) and/or Paul George (rest), and he has taken advantage of the extra playing time since he's posted 10 or more points in three games in a row. Kennard might be a valuable streaming option in a short-term picture, but he's expected to move back to the bench once both Leonard and George are available -- cutting his playing time and upside as a result.

Kennard ended with 11 points (5-6 FG, 1-2 3Pt) and one rebound in 24 minutes during Sunday's 131-124 victory over the Pistons.
EDGE Analysis
Kawhi Leonard was given the night off for rest purposes, allowing Kennard to slide into the starting lineup. However, the elevation in role didn't end well for Kennard as he managed an empty 11 points in what was a high-scoring game. At this point, his contract seems quite unwarranted and on a typical night, he is not a player to prioritize in 12 or even 14-team leagues.

Kennard will start at shooting guard in Friday's matchup with the Rockets, Tomer Azarly of ClutchPoints.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Kennard will replace Paul George (rest) in the starting lineup. He has averaged 12.4 points, 3.4 rebounds and 2.4 assists across 28.9 minutes in nine starts this season.

Kennard supplied 17 points (6-16 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, two assists and a block across 33 minutes in Tuesday's loss against the Magic.
EDGE Analysis
Kennard was one of two Clippers that surpassed the 15-point mark -- Kawhi Leonard being the other -- and he took advantage of starting for the second game in a row due to the fact that Paul George (foot) has now missed back-to-back contests. Kennard's upside in the short-term scenario will be determined by George's availability, but he remains a solid offensive threat when given enough minutes and could remain a solid waiver pick-up in most formats as long as George remains out.

Kennard delivered 21 points (8-11 FG, 5-6 3Pt), five rebounds and two assists across 32 minutes in Monday's win over the Bucks.
EDGE Analysis
Kennard started for just the eighth time this season, as he drew the start over Paul George (foot), but he made the most of the opportunity and registered a season-high mark in scoring. He has reached the 20-point mark just three times in the entire campaign, however, and his short-term upside will ultimately be determined by George's availability. If he remains in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Magic, then he could be considered a viable waiver pickup across all formats.
