Nicolas Batum (ankle) starting Sunday for Clippers; Robert Covington back to bench
Los Angeles Clippers guard/forward Nicolas Batum is in the lineup Sunday in the team's game against the New Orleans Pelicans.
What It Means:
Batum sat Friday night due to left ankle soreness. But on Sunday, he has full clearance to take the court and fulfill his usual role in the backcourt. He'll immediately reclaim his spot in the starting five, and in a corresponding role, Robert Covington will revert to the bench.
Our models project Batum for 8.1 points, 4.2 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 19.8 FanDuel points across 25.2 minutes of action.
