Batum is not in the Clippers' starting lineup against the Kings on Tuesday, James Ham of ESPN 1320 Sacramento reports.
EDGE Analysis
Batum made his third start of the season during Sunday's 112-99 win over the Pistons, when he logged 12 points, four rebounds, one assist and one steal over 31 minutes. He'll return to the bench for Tuesday's contest after John Collins (illness) was cleared to play.

Batum amassed 12 points (4-8 FG, 4-8 3Pt), four rebounds, one assist and one steal over 31 minutes during Sunday's 112-99 victory over the Pistons.
EDGE Analysis
The Clippers used only nine players in the win, and there wasn't much room to produce with Kawhi Leonard and James Harden accounting for 83 of the team's 112 points. Still, Batum had a solid outing in his third start of the year, filling in aptly for John Collins (illness). Although Batum is averaging 26.9 minutes per game this season, his fantasy relevance is severely limited by his spot on the depth chart.

Batum will start Sunday's game against Detroit, Joey Linn of SI.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Batum will make his third start of the season and his first since Nov. 6 due to the absence of John Collins (illness). Batum played just 18 minutes in each of his other two starts, but he should see more run Sunday night.

Batum (illness) is out for Monday's game against the Grizzlies.
EDGE Analysis
Batum was absent from practice Sunday after falling ill, and the Clippers have elected to hold him out Monday. Kobe Brown and Kobe Sanders should be candidates for more run in Batum's absence.

Batum (illness) is questionable for Monday's game against the Grizzlies, NBA writer Justin Russo reports.
EDGE Analysis
Batum was unable to participate in Sunday's practice due to an illness, which puts him in jeopardy of missing Monday's game. Kobe Brown and Bogdan Bogdanovic would be in line for more minutes off the bench if Batum is not cleared to play.

Batum ended Thursday's 115-113 loss to the Rockets with six points (2-5 FG, 2-5 3Pt), three rebounds, two assists and one block over 28 minutes.
EDGE Analysis
Batum continues to play a key role for the Clippers, but his fantasy appeal remains fairly low. Across 25 appearances, he's averaging 19.7 minutes per contest with 4.5 points, 2.8 rebounds, 0.8 assists and 1.4 three-pointers.

Batum amassed six points (2-4 FG, 2-4 3Pt), three rebounds and two assists across 20 minutes during Wednesday's 115-92 victory over the Hawks.
EDGE Analysis
Batum's role as a three-point specialist for the Clippers off the bench has been consistent, as he averages 1.7 threes made on a scorching 50.0 percent clip in his last 10 games. However, Batum does not provide much fantasy value outside of threes made and should not be rostered.

Batum closed with six points (2-3 FG, 2-3 3Pt), one rebound and two steals in 22 minutes during Tuesday's 135-118 loss to the Lakers.
EDGE Analysis
Batum hit multiple triples for the third straight game Tuesday and is averaging 2.2 threes on a blistering 54.2 percent clip in his last six games. However, while his efficiency has been great, the volume is simply not there for Batum to be under roster consideration in most fantasy leagues.

Batum posted 11 points (3-7 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds, one assist and one steal in 21 minutes during Monday's 110-108 loss to the 76ers.
EDGE Analysis
Batum saw at least 20 minutes for the sixth straight game, tallying a season-high 11 points. The fact that he is playing such a significant role highlights just how desperate things are in Los Angeles. Despite his current role, Batum should be viewed as nothing more than a potential streaming candidate, if and when the schedule is favorable.
