Clippers' Lou Williams (hip) downgraded to out on Friday

Los Angeles Clippers shooting guard Lou Williams (hip) has been ruled out of Friday's game against the Sacramento Kings.

What It Means:

Williams has been downgraded to out and will not play due to a hip injury that limited him to just nine minutes of action on Wednesday. With Williams out, Luke Kennard could see additional minutes against the Kings on Friday. According to Rotogrinders' Court IQ in 137.3 minutes this season with Williams off the court, Kennard is averaging 0.42 FanDuel points per minute and a 15.2% usage rate.

The Clippers are 7.5-point favorites over the Kings on Friday. Their implied team total of 117.0 points is the third-highest team total on Friday's main slate, according to numberFire's DFS Heat Map.
