Superb off bench with 24 points
Mathurin totaled 24 points (7-15 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 10-11 FT), six rebounds, one assist and one block across 35 minutes during Saturday's 118-109 loss to Sacramento.
Analysis
The severity of Kawhi Leonard's (ankle) injury is unclear, but it's reasonable to assume that Mathurin would get a significant usage boost if the All-Star was unavailable for Monday's game against the Spurs. At present, Mathurin is distinguishing himself as a premier sixth man for the Clippers, averaging 20.1 points, 6.1 rebounds, 2.8 assists and 1.1 steals since joining the team.

Pours in 26 points Friday
Mathurin recorded 26 points (10-19 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 5-6 FT), six rebounds, two assists and one steal over 28 minutes during Friday's 119-108 win over the Bulls.
Analysis
Mathurin scored at least 20 points for the fourth straight game, providing the Clippers with a reliable scoring punch off the bench. In typical fashion, Mathurin's peripheral contributions have left a little to be desired, dragging down his overall fantasy value. If you need points and out-of-position rebounds, make sure Mathurin isn't somehow available in your league.

Thrives off bench in win
Mathurin supplied 22 points (5-10 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 10-12 FT), two rebounds, three assists and one steal over 25 minutes during Wednesday's 153-128 win over the Timberwolves.
Analysis
Even though Kawhi Leonard and Darius Garland carried the team offensively, the Clippers wouldn't have won this game as comfortably as they did without Mathurin's contributions. The forward, who joined the Clippers on the deal that sent Ivica Zubac to the Pacers, was the team's second-highest scorer and has been a regular scoring weapon off the bench for Los Angeles. Mathurin has scored 20-plus points in four of his last five outings off the bench, averaging 20.4 points, 6.0 rebounds and 2.0 assists per game in that span.

Shines with 28 points from bench
Mathurin logged 28 points (9-20 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 8-9 FT), seven rebounds, one assist and one steal in 36 minutes during Monday's 126-118 win over the Knicks.
Analysis
Mathurin's acquisition has played a big role in the Clippers' resurgence, and they have a legitimate chance to escape the Play-In bracket if they can string together more victories. Although the team looked like a squad in tank mode after dealing away James Harden and Ivica Zubac, the Clippers have thrived with the addition of Mathurin and Darius Garland. The team is 7-3 over the past 10 games, and Mathurin's continued work with the second unit will remain a critical part of the game plan.
