Tobias Harris Scores 15 Points in Loss
Tobias Harris scored efficiently but didn't contribute much else on Tuesday night. He scored 15 points, on 7-for-14 shooting, but had just six rebounds and two assists to round out his stat line. This was the first game this season that Harris failed to record a three-pointer, as he was 0-of-3 from behind the arc in this game. However, this mediocre performance aside, Harris has been solid this year. The Clippers clearly have a lot invested in the young power forward. For instance, he’s the only clipper over 30 minutes-per-game at 34.1 and is also their leading scorer at 20.9 points-per-game. It should be another top-50 finish for Harris, with potential for more if his role expands as the year goes on. He should be in line for a good game on Thursday against the Philadelphia 76ers, as they are giving up the second most points-per-game to the power forward position at 26.6 a night. This makes Harris a good DFS play too if you can fit him in your budget.

Tobias Harris Out Against Kings
Tobias Harris (heel) will not suit up for Monday's contest against the Sacramento Kings. He has been downgraded from questionable to out, resulting in his third consecutive absence. Dennis Schroder will remain in the starting unit on Monday, while Harris' absence also elevates the fantasy value of Ausar Thompson and Malik Beasley. Harris has played in only one of the last five games, so it remains to be seen whether he will recover well enough from his heel injury to be available for Thursday's matchup against the New York Knicks.

Tobias Harris Iffy For Monday's Game Versus Kings
Tobias Harris (heel) is in danger of missing his third consecutive game after picking up a questionable status for Monday's contest against the Sacramento Kings. The veteran has been suffering from some soreness in his left heel. The Pistons have already clinched a playoff berth, so they're likely going to be a bit cautious with only four games remaining on their schedule. If Harris is forced to miss another game, Dennis Schroder and Ausar Thompson should both continue to see a bump in usage. Malik Beasley should also keep seeing big minutes off the bench. Thompson has the highest fantasy ceiling of the three as displayed by his last game, where he posted 18 points, 11 rebounds, five assists, one steal, and one block.

Tobias Harris Out Again On Saturday Night
Tobias Harris (heel) won't play on Saturday against Memphis. He has a sore heel, so he'll miss his second-consecutive game on Saturday night. Ausar Thompson will continue to handle things at the four spot, with the 22-year-old amassing 15 points, seven boards, three steals, and two blocks in Friday's win over the Raptors. While Thompson remains a viable fantasy commodity, the return of Cade Cunningham (calf) could result in a dip in scoring opportunities.

Tobias Harris Questionable Against Memphis
Tobias Harris (heel) is questionable for Saturday's game against Memphis. The veteran has been bothered by heel soreness, most recently keeping him off the floor for Friday's win over the Toronto Raptors. Detroit is heading to the playoffs, so it's possible Harris gets a few more games off in order to be ready. Fortunately, Cade Cunningham (calf) is probable, which will help lessen the blow. But if Harris remains out, Ausar Thompson and Malik Beasley, combining for 36 points versus the Raptors, should continue to receive more work, with one of them expected to stay in the starting lineup.
