Batum produced six points (2-3 FG, 2-3 3Pt) and two rebounds in 18 minutes during Thursday's 115-114 win over the Nuggets.
EDGE Analysis
Batum was rested for the final game before the All-Star break, but he was back in his usual role Thursday. The veteran is unlikely to see enough minutes or usage to make an impact outside of very deep formats moving forward.

Batum will sit out Wednesday's game against Houston for rest purposes, NBA writer Justin Russo reports.
EDGE Analysis

The veteran big man went unused off the bench Tuesday in the Clippers' 102-95 loss to the Rockets, marking just the second time all season he didn't play in a game.

EDGE Analysis
James Harden, Kris Dunn, Kobe Sanders and Ivica Zubac will join Batum in the first unit for Friday's game. Across three starts so far this season, the veteran forward has averaged 5.0 points, 2.3 rebounds, 1.7 assists and 1.7 triples per contest.

Batum finished with one rebound and one steal over 14 minutes during Saturday's 98-92 victory over Detroit.
EDGE Analysis
Batum failed to score Saturday, having now failed to tally double digits in five straight games. The fact that he is still playing a meaningful role for the Clippers tells you everything you need to know about the rotation. With that said, he is nowhere near being a fantasy asset, averaging just 4.8 points and 1.5 three-pointers in 20.6 minutes per game.

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.
