What It Means:

George returned for Tuesday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers after he missed five contests with hamstring soreness. He was capped at 30 minutes on Tuesday and will not play in the second half of the Clippers' back-to-back set, but George should have his minutes bumped up for Friday's matchup with the San Antonio Spurs. Nicolas Batum is expected to replace George in the starting lineup and play additional minutes. Terance Mann and Norman Powell also stand to benefit. Kawhi Leonard is likely going to join George on the bench for the second leg of the back-to-back, so there should be an abundance of opportunities in the Clippers' rotation on Wednesday night.

Batum is numberFire's third-best point-per-dollar value on Wednesday's nine-game slate. He has a $4,400 salary and our models project him for 26.6 FanDuel points over 29.2 minutes. Per CourtIQ, Powell ($6,000) holds a 30.5% usage rate and averages 1.06 FanDuel points per minute with Kawhi and George off the floor this season. He's currently our seventh-best value on the board.
