John Wall Goes For Season-High 36 Points In Win
John Wall battled through an ankle injury to lead his team to victory Monday over the Houston Rockets. Wall delivered his fifth double-double of the season, finishing with a season-high 36 points, including six of his club’s 10 points in overtime, to go along with 11 assists. It was quite the dominant performance from the five-time All-Star, who has helped his struggling club to wins in three of their last four games, and is set for a favorable matchup against the New Orleans Pelicans on Wednesday. New Orleans is allowing the second-most fantasy points per game to opposing point guards this season, so feel confident deploying Wall as long as he’s in town, as he is reportedly set to become a father within the next few days.

John Wall To Miss Next Two Weeks
John Wall (abdomen) is set to miss at least the next two weeks of action. The Clippers have decided to shut down the veteran guard for a couple of weeks while he recovers from an abdominal strain. His absence should mean that Terance Mann continues to get significant playing time in the rotation. Also, Reggie Jackson will likely be asked to contribute more with Wall unavailable to play. Mann is certainly worth rostering while Wall is out. Fantasy managers can take a wait-and-see approach with Jackson as he heavily struggled earlier in the season.

John Wall Not Expected To Suit Up On Sunday
John Wall (abdomen) is not expected to play against the Houston Rockets. The veteran logged 29 minutes on Friday versus the Denver Nuggets, finishing with 16 points and seven rebounds. However, he's now dealing with abdominal soreness, so he's on track to join Luke Kennard (calf) and Paul George (hamstring) on the shelf. Norman Powell, who had 18 points in the meeting with Denver, is expected to draw plenty of interest from DFS managers once Wall is officially ruled out.

John Wall Unavailable For Thursday
John Wall (knee) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Denver Nuggets. The veteran guard will sit this game out for rest purposes. It's the first game of a back-to-back set, so the Clippers aren't going to push Wall. His absence should open up more minutes for Terance Mann. He'll have some low-end streaming value for Thursday's contest. Fantasy managers should expect Wall back in the lineup for Friday.

John Wall Won't Play On Tuesday Against Raptors
John Wall (injury maintenance) is getting a rest day on Tuesday and will watch from the sidelines as the team takes on the Toronto Raptors. This wasn't his usual fourth-game pattern, but he'll be out for injury maintenance. He played well off of the bench on Monday against the Detroit Pistons as he turned in 16 points, five rebounds, and five assists. While he's out, Terance Mann will likely get some of those vacated minutes at guard, but he's not the best streaming option at the moment.
