Harkless (back) is questionable for Saturday's game against New Orleans.

EDGE Analysis

Harkless was forced to leave Thursday's matchup with lower-back soreness, and he's in danger of missing more time. The team should provide an update on his status closer to tipoff.

Harkless won't return to Thursday's game against Orlando due to lower-back soreness, Roy Parry of the Orlando Sentinel reports.

EDGE Analysis

Harkless was ruled out for the rest of the night early in the third quarter. Rodney McGruder and JaMychal Green should see more minutes with Harkless out the rest of the way.

Harkless put up six points (3-4 FG) to go with 11 rebounds and one block in 27 minutes Tuesday in the Clippers' 128-103 win over the Cavaliers.

EDGE Analysis

After a one-game benching, Harkless slotted back in as the starting power forward, replacing Patrick Patterson. While Harkless did a good job of pounding the glass, he didn't do much in other areas to create much excitement for fantasy purposes. The fact that he's only attempted 12 total shots while Paul George (hamstring) has missed the last three games doesn't bode well for Harkless' prospects once the Clippers are back at full strength.

Harkless will be in the starting lineup Tuesday against the Cavaliers, Chris Fedor of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

EDGE Analysis

Harkless came off the bench Sunday at Denver and had only six points, one rebound and two steals in 21 minutes, but he'll be back in the starting five Tuesday. The 26-year-old hasn't found much production over the last 13 games (11 starts), averaging 5.0 points, 4.0 rebounds and 1.2 steals in 21.1 minutes.

Harkless totaled six points (2-3 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-4 FT), two steals and one rebound in 21 minutes during Sunday's 114-104 loss to Denver.

EDGE Analysis

The Clippers changed their rotations Sunday, shifting Harkless to the bench in favor of Patrick Patterson. The move did nothing for Harkless in terms of production as he managed just six points in 21 minutes. He can be a sneaky source of defensive production at times but his role is for too inconsistent to warrant a permanent spot on a 12-team roster.

Harkless won't start Sunday's game against the Nuggets, Jovan Buha of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Harkless won't be in the starting five Sunday as head coach Doc Rivers shifts the lineup slightly with Patrick Patterson and Lou Williams starting. It wouldn't be surprising to see Harkless return to his usual starting role for Tuesday's game against Cleveland.

Harkless amassed 12 points (6-7 FG, 0-2 FT), nine rebounds, two assists, two blocks and one steal in 25 minutes during Thursday's 126-112 victory over the Pistons.

EDGE Analysis

Harkless had a productive night Thursday, with contributions across the board. His minutes were down along with the rest of the starters as the Clippers ran away with the victory. Harkless has the ability to put up defensive numbers in limited minutes but that is typically not enough for him to have 12-team value. He is fine to stream in at a pinch but there is very little upside if you are looking for a long-term option.

Harkless will start Saturday against the Jazz.

EDGE Analysis

Harkless returns to the starting rotation after coming off the bench on Christmas against the Lakers. Patrick Patterson will come off the bench as a result. In his last five starts, Harkless has averaged 4.4 points and 2.8 rebounds in just under 23 minutes a contest.

Harkless will come off the bench for Wednesday's game against the Lakers, Jovan Buha of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Harkless will come off the bench for Wednesday's cross-town tilt with the Lakers. Despite being a usual starter, coach Doc Rivers will opt instead for a slightly larger lineup featuring Patrick Paterson at the four. The move likely won't last too long and owners can expect Harkless to rejoin the starting unit in Saturday's game against Utah.

Harkless had 15 points (6-8 FG, 2-3 3PT, 1-1 FT), two rebounds, one assist and one steal in 25 minutes during Saturday's 134-109 win at San Antonio.

EDGE Analysis

Harkless didn't score in two straight games, but he bounced back with a 15-point effort here while looking efficient from the field. That said, he hasn't showed any sort of consistency on his numbers while playing 25 or fewer minutes during his last four contests. His fantasy upside shouldn't be very high due to the several better offensive options on the current Clippers roster.
