Norman Powell Stays Red-Hot In Win Over Pacers
3 years agoPortland Trail Blazers forward Norman Powell continued his hot shooting in Friday's win over the Pacers. Powell poured in a season-high 25 points on excellent efficiency, as he shot 8-for-14 from the field and 3 of 4 from deep while draining all his free throws. The 28-year-old rounded out the solid all-around effort with contributions across each category. Powell has been a fantasy stud over his last three games, with averages of 23.3 points, 2.3 triples, 2.0 rebounds, 1.7 steals, 1.3 assists, and 1.0 blocks per contest while posting 59.5/53.8/92.9 percent shooting splits. He'll come back down to earth eventually, though it likely won't happen on Saturday against the struggling Lakers.

Norman Powell Out At Least 10 Days
2 weeks agoLos Angeles Clippers forward Norman Powell (hamstring) will be re-evaluated in 10 days after suffering a right hamstring strain. The 31-year-old has had a fantastic season, averaging a career-high 23.8 points with 3.5 rebounds, and 1.3 steals while shooting 42.4% from behind the arc. Unfortunately, the latest update means he'll miss at least six games, although it's possible he could be out longer. With Powell sidelined, Bogdan Bogdanovic, who is coming off a 13-point, four-rebound showing in Tuesday's loss to the Suns, should remain in the starting lineup, with Amir Coffey potentially earning more minutes.

Norman Powell Out With Strained Hamstring
3 weeks agoLos Angeles Clippers guard/forward Norman Powell (hamstring) has been ruled out for Tuesday's meeting with the Phoenix Suns. After missing five games due to a knee injury, Powell was back in the lineup on Sunday against the Los Angeles Lakers, but he strained his right hamstring and played only nine minutes. Bogdan Bogdanovic and Amir Coffey will be expected to step up during Powell's absence. Powell's first opportunity to return is on Wednesday against the Detroit Pistons, but since he is dealing with a muscle injury, it wouldn't be surprising if he sits out several games.
