Montrezl Harrell turns in an efficient game as Clippers fall to Blazers

Los Angeles Clippers forward/center Montrezl Harrell finished with 15 points on 5-of-9 shooting, adding 7 rebounds, 3 assists, 1 steal and 1 block in only 17.1 minutes of action in Tuesday's eight-point loss to the Portland Trail Blazers.

What It Means:

Harrell didn't see any increase in minutes despite Blake Griffin being gone and Tobias Harris not yet making his debut, so it looks like his role won't be increasing any moving forward. He's averaging 8.8 points and 4.0 rebounds in 15.4 minutes per game this season.

numberFire's models project Harrell for 7.3 points and 3.5 boards in 13.2 minutes of action against the Chicago Bulls on Saturday.
