Clippers' Nicolas Batum (ankle) likely remaining out Friday
Los Angeles Clippers guard/forward Nicolas Batum (ankle) is unlikely to play on Friday against the Minnesota Timberwolves.
What It Means:
Batum has already been ruled out for Thursday's game versus the Denver Nuggets, so it looks like he will moss both legs of the Clippers' back-to-back. His next opportunity to play will be on Sunday against the Atlanta Hawks.
Batum has a usage rate of 12.2% this season while averaging 21.2 minutes and 17.0 FanDuel points per game. Per our NBA Heat Map, the Clippers’ implied total (112.25) is No. 6 out of eight active teams today and the game total (229.5) is the lowest on the board.
