Covington is starting Sunday's game against the Thunder, Mirjam Swanson of the Los Angeles Daily News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Covington will start in Sunday's regular-season finale since Nicolas Batum (ankle) was a late scratch. Covington has averaged 8.6 points and 5.6 rebounds in 30.1 minutes per game across 41 starts this year.

Covington had eight points (3-7 FG, 2-6 3Pt), two rebounds, one assist, one block and two steals across 18 minutes during Sunday's 119-100 victory over the Pelicans.

EDGE Analysis

Coming off of a career night Friday against the Bucks (43 points, 11 threes), Covington returned to a reduced role off the bench with the Clippers back at (close to) full strength. That 43-point effort was a major anomaly for the rangy wing, but he continues to be one of the more reliable defensive contributors in all of fantasy basketball. Covington is on pace to close the regular season as the only player in the NBA with at least 90 steals and 90 blocks.

Covington erupted for a career-high 43 points (15-24 FG, 11-18 3Pt, 2-2 FT) and added eight rebounds, three blocks, two assists and two steals across 46 minutes Friday in the Clippers' 153-119 win over the Bucks.

EDGE Analysis

With both teams playing on the second leg of a back-to-back set, supporting players for the Clippers and Bucks were thrust into larger roles, and none capitalized on the opportunity as much as Covington. After combining to produce 23 points across his past three starts, Covington nearly had that total in the third quarter alone, when he notched 17 of his points. He achieved most of his offensive production thanks to some hot shooting from downtown, with his 11 triples also establishing a career high and matching the best mark from any NBA player in a single game this season. Though Covington's big performance is sure to attract attention in any shallow leagues where he might be available, his usage will almost certainly plummet in LA's next game Sunday against the Pelicans, when all of Marcus Morris (knee), Paul George (elbow), Reggie Jackson (rest) and Nicolas Batum (ankle) are expected to return to action.

Covington will start Friday's game against the Bucks, Andrew Greif of the Los Angeles Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Both teams are throwing out a skeleton crew in this matchup. This will be Covington's first start with the Clippers. In his 40 starts with the Trail Blazers, he averaged 7.7 points, 5.6 rebounds, 1.4 assists, 1.4 steals and 1.2 blocks in 29.7 minutes.

Covington (hand) is available for Friday's matchup with the 76ers, Farbod Esnaashari of SI Now reports.

EDGE Analysis

Covington is nursing a hand injury but will ultimately play through it. Barring any setbacks, look for him to take on his usual role off the bench.

Covington (hand) is listed as questionable for Friday's matchup with the 76ers, Tomer Azarly of ClutchPoints.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Covington's status for Friday is up in the air as of now, as the forward sustained a right hand sprain in the Clippers' loss to Denver. If Covington is unable to suit up, Nicolas Batum or Marcus Morris may be forced into a large workload.

Covington supplied 18 points (6-14 FG, 4-10 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds, one assist, two blocks and three steals in 30 minutes during Friday's 121-92 loss to the Jazz.

EDGE Analysis

In a game during which Los Angeles fell behind by 37 points at halftime and had no starter score in double-digits, the most surprising development may have been Covington finishing as the team's leading point-producer. The defensive-minded forward entered Friday averaging just 8.1 points since joining the team, and he hadn't scored 18 points in any contest since Jan. 10. This offensive output isn't likely to be a trend moving forward, so his viability in fantasy will likely continue to depend almost entirely on his ability to rack up defensive stats, as he also did Friday.

Covington closed Wednesday's 103-100 loss to the Raptors with seven points (3-6 FG, 1-3 3Pt), four rebounds and three steals in 21 minutes.

EDGE Analysis

Covington missed each of the Clippers' previous five games due to a personal matter, but he was able to return to the court Wednesday. The veteran forward was quiet as usual offensively, but he did rack up a team-high three steals. Defense remains his primary draw in fantasy -- he is averaging 1.4 steals and 1.2 blocks in 13 games with the Clippers, but those numbers are accompanied by less-useful averages of 8.1 points, 5.2 rebounds and 1.0 assists per game.

Covington (personal) is off the injury report for Wednesday's game against the Raptors, Justin Russo of the 'Clip & Roll' podcast reports.

EDGE Analysis

After five straight absences due to a personal matter, Covington should be back in the rotation. In his 12 appearances with the Clippers, he's averaged 8.2 points, 5.3 rebounds, 1.3 steals, 1.3 blocks and 1.1 assists in 20.7 minutes.

Covington (personal) won't play Monday against the Cavaliers, Tomer Azarly of ClutchPoints.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Covington will miss a fifth consecutive game due to a personal matter. With Marcus Morris getting a rest day on Monday, Nicolas Batum could be in line for a heavy workload against the Cavs. Covington's next chance to return will be Wednesday against Toronto.
