Paul George out for Clippers Friday due to health protocols
Los Angeles Clippers forward Paul George has entered the NBA's health and safety protocols and will miss Friday's play-in game against the New Orleans Pelicans.
What It Means:
George could also be unavailable for Game 1 of the first round of the playoffs if the Clippers are able to win without him on Friday night. There will now be plenty of more opportunities on offense for Amir Coffey, Reggie Jackson, Luke Kennard (hamstring, questionable), Terance Mann, Norman Powell, Marcus Morris, and Ivica Zubac.
Coffey is numberFire's top point-per-dollar value on Friday's two-game play-in slate. He has a $3,600 salary and our models project him for 24.8 FanDuel points. The second-through-fifth best values are Jackson, Kennard, Morris, and Zubac, respectively.
