Kennard will come off the bench Wednesday against the Timberwolves, Garrett Chorpenning of SI.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 24-year-old started the past two games for Los Angeles, but he'll shift back to the bench with Patrick Beverley (knee) returning from an eight-game absence. Kennard could see his playing time take a hit, but he should still have plenty of action since Paul George (toe) remains sidelined.

Kennard recorded eight points (3-8 FG, 1-4 3PT, 1-1 FT), one rebound, one assist and one block in 19 minutes during the 113-110 loss to Sacramento on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Kennard received the spot start with teammate Paul George out and he completely butchered his chance. The guard was subpar on the floor and did not produce elsewhere to make up for his lack of points. Kennard has been in quite a rut lately and should be passed on for the time being.

Kennard will start at shooting guard in Friday's game against the Celtics, Garrett Chorpenning of SI.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Kennard will replace Paul George (foot) in the starting lineup. According to head coach Tyronn Lue, the team was planning on starting Terance Mann until they found out Jaylen Brown (knee) was sidelined. As a result, they will lean towards offense and give Kennard the start.

Kennard played four minutes during Tuesday's 124-120 loss to the Nets, recording one rebound.
EDGE Analysis
Kennard has seen only 15 minutes total across the past two games, and it appears coach Tyronn Lue could be losing faith in him. Kennard is seeing only 22.0 minutes per game on the season, averaging 8.1 points, 2.8 rebounds and 1.9 assists. He's shooting well, but the Clippers have other backcourt options when he's not playing well on a particular night or there's a bad matchup.

Kennard posted 13 points (5-13 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 1-2 FT), four steals, three rebounds and two assists across 28 minutes Tuesday in the Clippers' 108-99 loss to the Hawks.
EDGE Analysis
Kennard was one of three new additions to the Clippers' starting five after Paul George (COVID-19 protocols), Kawhi Leonard (COVID-19 protocols) and Patrick Beverley (knee) were sidelined for the first contest of a six-game road trip. Reggie Jackson (20 points, eight assists, seven rebounds in 39 minutes) was the Clippers' top fantasy producer on the night, but Kennard wasn't far behind and actually sported the higher usage rate (21.5 percent) of the two. Since all of George, Leonard and Beverley are uncertain to join the Clippers at any point during the road trip, the likes of Kennard, Jackson, Lou Williams and Serge Ibaka -- among others -- should all benefit from short-term spikes in fantasy value.

Kennard is starting Tuesday against the Hawks, Andrew Greif of the Los Angeles Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Clippers will be without Patrick Beverley (knee), Paul George (COVID-19 protocols) and Kawhi Leonard (COVID-19 protocols) on Tuesday, so Kennard will receive his fourth start of the season. George and Leonard are expected to miss multiple games, so Kennard should have an increased role for the near future.

Kennard finished with two points (1-7 FG, 0-5 3Pt), one rebound and one block in 16 minutes during Friday's 120-106 win over the Thunder.
EDGE Analysis
Friday's performance may have been Kennard's worst of the season, as he was completely ineffective in his 16 minutes. Considering how reliant Kennard is on three-pointers for his offense, he'll be prone to some dud fantasy performances. And while he's a decent playmaker, the Clippers' offense has no shortage of players to handle the ball, so there will be nights where he can't rack up a meaningful number of assists.

Kennard recorded 20 points (7-12 FG, 5-8 3Pt, 1-1 FT), four rebounds and two assists across 21 minutes Sunday in the Clippers' 129-96 win over the Pacers.
EDGE Analysis
After logging 30 minutes in Friday's 38-point win over the Kings, Kennard saw his playing time take a big dip with Patrick Beveley (personal) back in the lineup. The continued absence of Lou Williams (hip) still allowed Kennard to enjoy a high-usage role on the second unit, with the fourth-year player setting a new season-high in scoring in the process. Kennard remains a name to keep on a watch list in standard leagues, as Williams' hip issue is just believed to be a short-term concern at this point.

Kennard finished with 14 points (6-8 FG, 2-2 3Pt), six assists, five rebounds and one block in 30 minutes Friday in the Clippers' 138-100 win over the Kings.
EDGE Analysis
Kennard took advantage of the larger role afforded to him by the absences of Patrick Beverley (personal) and Lou Williams (hip), turning in one of his best lines of the season in the process. While Kennard would make for interesting roster filler in 12-team leagues if he could have this sort of role on a regular basis, his opportunities are expected to take a hit in the Clippers' upcoming game Sunday against the Pacers. Beverley has rejoined the team and is available to play, while Williams is listed as questionable for the contest.

Kennard registered six points (2-3 FG, 2-3 3Pt), a rebound and an assist across 21 minutes off the bench in Wednesday's win over the Pelicans.
EDGE Analysis
Kennard has made just three starts this season and, while he has a stable role off the bench for the Clippers, he doesn't do much aside from shooting threes and grabbing a few rebounds here and there. He has been effective in his main function, however, as Kennard has hit 47.4 percent of his three-point attempts this season. If he's able to sustain that pace, that would easily be a career-high figure for the sharpshooter.
