Clippers' John Wall: Double-double off bench Monday
Rotowire
Wall ended with 12 points (4-13 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 3-6 FT), five rebounds, 12 assists, one block and one steal across 27 minutes during Monday's 119-117 win over the Hornets.
It was the point guard's first double-double of the season, and his second game with 10 or more assists. Wall hasn't been able to consistently find the form he displayed at his peak with the Wizards, but that's no surprise considering how little he's played in recent years -- he hasn't suited up for more than 41 games since 2016-17, and he missed two entire seasons during that stretch. The 32-year-old will continue to provide a veteran presence on the Clippers' second unit, and occasionally post intriguing fantasy lines.

Clippers' John Wall: Pops off for season-high 26 points
Rotowire
Wall totaled 26 points (7-19 FG, 0-5 3Pt, 12-13 FT), two rebounds, five assists and one block over 25 minutes during Wednesday's 125-112 loss to the Jazz.
Wall turned back the clock Wednesday, dropping a season-high 26 points and going an impressive 12-of-13 from the line. Unfortunately, he shot just 37 percent from the floor, something that is a known flaw when it comes to his overall fantasy value. While this was a solid performance, his ups and downs thus far have him sitting as more of a streaming option as opposed to a must-roster player.

Rotowire
Wall will miss Tuesday's contest against Portland due to left knee injury management.

Clippers' John Wall: Posts 23 points from bench
Rotowire
Wall amassed 23 points (8-10 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 5-8 FT), two assists and one steal in 24 minutes during Friday's 114-104 loss to the Nuggets.
There's definitely a correlation between Wall and Reggie Jackson this season, and it stands out because Jackson has struggled to post consistent numbers. When he falters, the typical result is a solid stat line for Wall, although his assist numbers are a bit better when Paul George (hamstring) is active.

Clippers' John Wall: Drops 15 dimes from bench
Rotowire
Wall closed with five points (2-8 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT), four rebounds, 15 assists and four steals across 24 minutes during Saturday's 119-97 victory over the Spurs.
Reggie Jackson has re-solidified his hold on the starting job at point guard, but with assist totals like these, Wall could give him a run for his money. He more than doubled his previous season-high in assists during Saturday's game, so while it's an aberration for Wall, superlative performances should be expected as he gets stronger and more comfortable after such a long absence.

Clippers' John Wall: Gets back on track
Rotowire
Wall had 17 points (6-11 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 4-6 FT), six rebounds, four assists and one steal across 26 minutes during Tuesday's 103-101 loss to the Mavericks.
Wall returned to the hardwood after missing Monday's matchup against the Rockets due to a knee injury, but he looked strong from the field in this one and also set a new season high with six rebounds. The veteran point guard has scored in double figures in each of his last five games and can also add value for fantasy managers in assists and steals if he can stay healthy.

Clippers' John Wall: Productive despite poor shooting
Rotowire
Wall racked up 10 points (3-10 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 3-3 FT), four rebounds, six assists, one block and two steals across 23 minutes during Wednesday's 114-101 win over the Lakers.
Wall had a hard time finding the bottom of the net Wednesday, but that didn't stop him from putting up a decent overall line. The veteran point guard led the Clippers in assists in only 23 minutes, and he also tied a season high with two steals. Wall has racked up exactly six assists in five of his past six contests and has scored double-digit points in four of those games.

Clippers' John Wall: Won't play Monday
Rotowire
Clippers head coach Tyronn Lue said Wall won't play Monday against the Cavaliers for rest purposes, Tomer Azarly of ClutchPoints.com reports.
Wall came off the bench during Sunday's loss to the Jazz and logged 12 points (6-15 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 0-4 FT), three rebounds, six assists and two steals in 28 minutes. Wall will be unavailable for the second half of the back-to-back set, which could leave the Clippers particularly shorthanded in the backcourt since it's unclear whether Reggie Jackson (knee) will be able to suit up. If both Wall and Jackson are out, Terance Mann will likely see increased run in the backcourt.

Clippers' John Wall: Excellent numbers off bench
Rotowire
Wall provided 15 points (6-14 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 1-2 FT), three rebounds and six assists in 27 minutes during Friday's 113-106 win over the Spurs.
Wall continues to make a big impact off the bench for the Clippers, and he posted double-digit scoring numbers after two straight contests in which he couldn't reach the 10-point plateau. While it'd be a stretch to say Wall has been outplaying Reggie Jackson, who opened the season as the starting point guard, there's no question he's delivering good per-game numbers considering he's only playing only 21.3 minutes per contest. Wall is averaging 12.9 points, 4.7 assists and 2.1 rebounds.

Wall came off the bench during Sunday's loss to the Pelicans and tallied eight points (2-5 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 4-4 FT), six assists and two blocks in 21 minutes. While he said Sunday that he would "love to" play against his former team during Monday's matchup against the Rockets, he expects to rest during the second half of the back-to-back set.

Clippers' John Wall: Stuffs stat sheet off bench
Rotowire
Wall accumulated 12 points (4-9 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 3-4 FT), three rebounds, four assists and two steals over 19 minutes during Tuesday's 108-94 loss to Oklahoma City.
The fact that Wall managed to put up this stat line in only 19 minutes is encouraging, but it was also a game in which Los Angeles didn't have their two best players while facing one of the weakest teams in the Western Conference. Still, any progress is encouraging for Wall, and while he'll need time to get back to his best after not playing at all in the 2021-22 season, he seems to be getting into a rhythm after scoring in double digits in each of his three appearances to date.

Clippers' John Wall: Puts up 17 points from bench
Rotowire
Wall closed Sunday's 112-95 loss to the Suns with 17 points (7-12 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 1-5 FT), four assists and one steal in 21 minutes.
Wall showed flashes of his former self in the loss, and it may only be a matter of time before we see him as a starter in the backcourt. As one might expect, such a long absence from play requires a bit of seasoning before hitting full stride, and Sunday's total was a step in the right direction for the veteran guard.

Wall trailed only Marcus Morris in scoring, while leading the Clippers' bench in points and minutes played. He's an uncharacteristic 1-of-8 from the free-throw line thus far across two games, hinting at a slightly higher scoring ceiling as well.

Clippers' John Wall: Out Saturday
Rotowire
Wall will not play in Saturday's matchup with the Kings due return from injury rehabilitation, Justin Russo of the 'Clip & Roll' podcast reports.
The Clippers are going to exercise caution and ease him back into the swing of things for the 2022-23 season. Saturday's game is the first of a back-to-back set, so he will likely be available for Sunday's game against the Suns. The veteran point guard recorded eight points (3-4 FG, 0-1 3 Pt, 2-2 FT) to go along with four assists and three rebounds in 10 minutes during the Clippers' loss to the Nuggets on Wednesday.

Clippers' John Wall: Makes successful return Thursday
Rotowire
Wall amassed 15 points (7-15 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 1-3 FT), four rebounds, three assists and one steal across 25 minutes during Thursday's 103-97 win over the Lakers.
Wall returned to the court Thursday after missing the entire 2021-22 season, and he delivered a solid performance during his team debut. Of course, it was not without its flaws, highlighted by some lackluster shooting. It appears as though the Clippers are going to bring him off the bench, at least for now, putting a slight cap on his overall value. He warrants attention in standard formats but can be a somewhat inconsistent fantasy contributor at times.
