Nicolas Batum Provides 10 Points In Win
Nicolas Batum provided 10 points on 4-for-7 shooting in his club's win over the Atlanta Hawks on Tuesday. Batum also added two makes from three with five rebounds and four assists while committing three turnovers on the night. Batum has seen a dip in production this year, but he is shooting a solid 46.3% from the floor which would be highest since the 2013-14 season. The Hornets are off until Friday when they take on the 76ers who are one of the better teams at guarding the shooting guard spot.

Nicolas Batum Cleared To Return Thursday
Nicolas Batum (finger) missed Wednesday's game with a finger injury, but he'll be available for the second game of his team's back-to-back on Thursday night against the Wizards. Batum has played a minimal role off the bench for the Clippers this season, averaging just 17.4 minutes in 42 games this year. He has only chipped in 3.2 points, 2.9 rebounds, 1.4 assists, and 0.6 steals per game. His role hasn't made much of a fantasy impact this season, but he will be able to return to it after being absent on Wednesday.

Nicolas Batum Taking A Seat On Wednesday
Nicolas Batum (finger) has been ruled out ahead of Wednesday's game against the Boston Celtics. The Clippers are going to be extremely shorthanded for this contest with a handful of players sitting out. Batum hasn't played a huge role in the rotation, but he was likely going to see more action with Kawhi Leonard (knee) and Norman Powell (back) both out as well. Now, Amir Coffey and Terance Mann should see bigger roles in the rotation. Between the two, Coffey is the better streaming choice for Wednesday's slate.

Nicolas Batum Will Suit Up On Monday
Nicolas Batum (finger) will play on Monday versus Chicago. The veteran was in danger of missing this contest because of right finger soreness. However, he's good to go. With Ivica Zubac (eye) sidelined, Batum may find himself in the starting lineup. Batum logged six points, three steals, and one rebound in his only start of the 2024-25 campaign. But he could see an uptick in production versus the Bulls, a team that has allowed 120.5 points per game this season, the second-worst mark in the National Basketball Association. Kawhi Leonard (knee, injury management) will also take the night off, which should give others more scoring opportunities.

Nicolas Batum A Priority For Philadelphia
Nicolas Batum. The veteran was traded to Philadelphia early in the 2023-24 campaign after spending three seasons with the Clippers. He appeared in 57 games for the Sixers last season. While Batum was a welcome addition to the roster, he played well enough in his 38 starts by averaging 5.6 points, 4.2 rebounds, and 2.2 assists. The Sixers hold his Bird Rights, so it's possible he could remain with the franchise. However, Batum likely won't be a consistent fantasy option anytime soon, although he has streaming potential when given extra minutes.
