Covington and Norman Powell were traded from the Trail Blazers to the Clippers on Friday for Eric Bledsoe, Justise Winslow, Keon Johnson and a future second-round pick, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.
EDGE Analysis
Covington and Powell add depth to a Clippers team that may very well be without Kawhi Leonard (knee) and Paul George (elbow) for the remainder of the season. Covington started his final 14 appearances for the Trail Blazers, and he'll presumably be competing for a starting spot in Los Angeles against Nicolas Batum. Even if Covington comes off the bench, he could still see roughly 30 minutes given his ability to play both forward spots and some small-ball center. The situation is probably a minor downgrade, so fantasy managers who picked up Covington recently may take a hit, but the veteran should still be able to provide nice three-and-D production.

Covington had zero points (0-8 FG, 0-6 3Pt), 13 rebounds, nine assists, one block and four steals across 36 minutes during Wednesday's 99-94 loss to the Lakers.
EDGE Analysis
In terms of scoring, Covington was atrocious Wednesday, missing all eight of his field-goal attempts -- six of which came from three-point range -- to finish with a goose egg in the box score. However, the veteran forward mostly made up for the poor shooting with a well-rounded collection of peripheral stats that included a season-high 13 boards and nine assists along with four thefts. Fantasy managers know by now that offense is Covington's weakness, so a stat line like this isn't entirely surprising nor disappointing.

Covington totaled two points (0-5 FG, 0-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, three assists, three blocks and three steals in 34 minutes during Monday's 98-81 loss to Oklahoma City.
EDGE Analysis
Covington missed all five of his field-goal attempts -- each of which came from three-point range -- during the blowout loss, and he finished with single-digit scoring for the fourth time in his past six games. The forward made up for the lack of offense to some extent with a strong game on defense. Covington's defensive prowess gives him some fantasy value, but managers may find it hard to stomach his 39.0 percent field-goal rate and 7.8 points per game on the season.

Covington (knee) is available for Sunday's contest against the Bulls, Jamie Hudson of KOIN 6 News Portland reports.
EDGE Analysis
As expected, Covington will be available for the second straight game after missing one contest due to a right MCL sprain. He recorded 13 points, five rebounds, three blocks, two steals and one assist in 38 minutes during Friday's win, and he's expected to see a similar workload against Chicago.

Covington (knee) is probable for Sunday's game against the Bulls, Casey Holdahl of the Trail Blazers' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Covington played through his right knee injury Friday against the Rockets and logged 13 points, five rebounds, an assist, three blocks and two steals in 38 minutes. Assuming he's able to suit up Sunday, it's unlikely that he'll face any restrictions.

Covington (knee) will start at power forward in Friday's game against the Rockets, Adam Wexler of Sportstalk 790 Houston reports.
EDGE Analysis
Covington will return from a one-game absence. He missed Wednesday's matchup with the Mavericks due to a right knee injury. Look for him to take on his usual workload assuming he avoids any setbacks.

Covington (knee) is questionable for Friday's game against the Rockets, Casey Holdahl of the Trail Blazers' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Covington was unavailable Wednesday against Dallas due to a right knee injury, but he'll have a chance to return Friday. If he remains out, Tony Snell and Greg Brown should see increased playing time once again.

Covington is out for Wednesday's matchup against the Mavericks due to a right knee injury, Mike Richman of The Oregonian reports.
EDGE Analysis
With Covington and Nassir Little (shoulder) sidelined, more minutes should be open for CJ Elleby. He fell out of the rotation Tuesday due to the return of Norman Powell but should play significant minutes Wednesday.

Covington (finger) will play Tuesday against the Timberwolves, Jamie Hudson of KOIN 6 News Portland reports.
EDGE Analysis
As expected, Covington will play through a finger dislocation. Since joining the starting five Jan. 7, he's averaging 11.4 points, 7.3 rebounds, 2.1 steals, 1.8 blocks and 1.3 assists in 35.0 minutes.

Covington is probable for Tuesday's game against Minnesota due to a left finger injury, Casey Holdahl of the Trail Blazers' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Covington had a well-rounded performance in Sunday's win over the Raptors and posted nine points, five rebounds, five assists, two steals and two blocks in 31 minutes. Although the 31-year-old is now dealing with a finger injury, he should be able to play through the issue Tuesday.
