Covington scored 11 points (4-7 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT) while adding three rebounds, an assist, two steals and four blocks across 22 minutes in Tuesday's 103-98 preseason win over the Jazz.

EDGE Analysis

Covington is in the mix for bench minutes either as a small forward or as a power forward, and the veteran certainly made a good impression with his play here. The veteran can offer solid minutes and two-way play off the bench if given an established role. He averaged 16.2 minutes in 2022-23 while putting up 6.0 points, 3.5 rebounds and 1.2 assists per contest.

Covington will enter the starting lineup for Tuesday's preseason contest against the Jazz, Law Murray of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Covington logged just five minutes in the Clippers' preseason opener Sunday, but he gets the nod with the first unit Tuesday. It's peculiar that Covington was active but scarcely utilized Sunday, so an inconsequential role might be a realistic expectation until proven otherwise.

Coach Tyronn Lue said Covington will "get an opportunity" in Thursday's Game 3 versus the Suns, Justin Russo of the 'Clip & Roll' podcast reports.

EDGE Analysis

Covington failed to get off the bench in Games 1 and 2 despite being healthy but is expected to see action in Game 3 with Kawhi Leonard (knee) inactive. Considering coach Lue also indicated Marcus Morris would break into the rotation Thursday, it's unclear how large of a workload Covington will handle, making him a risky fantasy option.

Covington contributed two rebounds, one assist and one block across five minutes during Sunday's 119-114 victory over the Suns.

EDGE Analysis

Covington was barely in the rotation Sunday, reversing the recent trend that has seen him up his playing time. While he is likely to continue seeing meaningful minutes, his nightly role could be determined by whether others around him are getting the job done.

Covington supplied 27 points (9-10 FG, 7-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, two assists and three steals over 32 minutes during Wednesday's 141-132 victory over the Grizzlies.

EDGE Analysis

Covington had his best game of the season. He set season highs in points and made triples. The Clippers' power forward got a slight boost in minutes with Kawhi Leonard (personal) out. He also benefited from Russell Westbrook and Bones Hyland's playmaking, as eight of Covington's nine made shots were assisted by the two Clipper guards. Despite the outburst, Covington has played in only 44 games this season and isn't a reliable fantasy option.

Covington finished Monday's 124-112 win over the Bulls with zero points (0-2 FG, 0-1 3Pt), two rebounds and one assist in 11 minutes off the bench

EDGE Analysis

Covington received double-digit minutes for the second game in a row, but he wasn't able to build on the well-rounded 11-point, two-steal, one-block line he provided his last time out in Saturday's blowout loss to the Pelicans. He was helped by the Clippers being without Paul George (leg), Norman Powell (shoulder) and Marcus Morris (illness) on Monday, but L.A. could get both Powell and Morris back as soon as its next game Wednesday in Memphis. After Monday's contest, head coach Tyronn Lue told Andrew Greif of the Los Angeles Times that Nicolas Batum would serve as the Clippers' starting power forward over Marcus Morris for the rest of the season, but Lue didn't specify whether Morris or Covington will stick in the rotation as Batum's primary backup.

Covington logged 11 points (4-7 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), one rebound, one assist and three steals over 23 minutes during Saturday's 113-108 loss to the Magic.

EDGE Analysis

Covington saw playing time for the first time in almost two weeks, as he was called upon with Kawhi Leonard (right knee injury management) given the night off. While Covington was able to rack up 11 points to go with three steals, given he had not even been in the rotation prior to Saturday, there is no reason to pursue him on the fantasy waiver wire.

Covington (personal) is available for Tuesday's game versus the Bulls, Andrew Greif of the Los Angeles Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Covington has been upgraded from questionable to available Tuesday after missing the previous two games due to personal reasons. With Marcus Morris (ribs) out, he will likely receive extended minutes against Chicago.

Covington (personal) is listed as questionable for Tuesday's game against the Bulls, Law Murray of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Covington has missed two consecutive contests due to personal reasons but has a chance at playing Tuesday. If he does return, he could be in line for more minutes if Marcus Morris (ribs) sits.

Covington (personal) has been ruled out for Sunday's matchup against Cleveland, Andrew Greif of the Los Angeles Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Covington will miss back-to-back games due to personal reasons. His next chance to suit up will arrive Tuesday in Chicago. Kawhi Leonard (knee) and Paul George (knee) are also out, while Luke Kennard (calf), Reggie Jackson (Achilles) and Marcus Morris (ribs) are questionable, so the Clippers are in danger of being extremely shorthanded against Cleveland.
