James Harden (foot) is considered questionable for Wednesday's clash against the New York Knicks. He has appeared on the injury report due to a sore right foot sustained during Sunday's matchup against the Oklahoma City Thunder. If Harden is unable to play on Wednesday, it will mark only his fourth absence of the season.
Derrick Jones Jr.,
Bogdan Bogdanovic, or
Ben Simmons may replace Harden in the starting lineup. Meanwhile,
Norman Powell and
Kawhi Leonard would take on larger roles offensively, with
Kris Dunn assuming additional playmaking duties.

James Harden (groin) will be able to return to the court after missing the front half of the team's back-to-back on Wednesday. Harden has averaged 21.3 points, 8.1 assists, 5.8 rebounds, and 1.4 steals per game in 33.4 minutes per game this season while leading the team with a 30.9% usage rate. Harden gets a great matchup in his return as the Clippers welcome the Wizards, who have allowed the most fantasy points per game to opposing point guards this season.
Kevin Porter Jr. stepped up with 26 points against the Celtics on Wednesday, but he'll likely return to his role as Harden's backup since The Beard will be back for Thursday's contest.

James Harden (groin) has been ruled out ahead of Wednesday's game against the Boston Celtics. Harden will now miss his third game of the season and the front end of this back-to-back set. Hopefully, Harden will be feeling good enough to suit up for Thursday's contest against the Washington Wizards. The Clippers are going to be extremely shorthanded for this game. That means,
Kevin Porter Jr.,
Bones Hyland, and
Terance Mann should all see bigger roles in the rotation. Between the three, Porter is the best and most consistent streaming choice of them.

James Harden (groin) is listed as questionable ahead of Wednesday's game against the Boston Celtics. Harden was uncertain to play on Monday, but he suited up and played 35 minutes in the loss to the Chicago Bulls. He struggled as he only knocked down five shots from the floor, so possibly the groin injury was impacting his performance. The Clippers would likely use a committee approach to fill the void if Harden was unable to play. Out of everyone,
Kevin Porter Jr. would likely gain the most streaming value if Harden is unavailable for Wednesday's contest.
