J.J. Avila: Records four steals Tuesday
Avila had nine points (3-5 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 1-1 FT), four steals, two assists and two rebounds across 19 minutes off the bench during Tuesday's win over Salt Lake City.
Avila came close to reaching the 20-minute mark for the first time this season and made the most of the opportunity, recording season-high marks for points and steals. He will need a few more performances like this to sniff a bigger role in the rotation going forward -- something that would translate into bigger upside across all formats as well.

J.J. Avila: Joins swath of players out Tuesday
Avila (hip) did not play in Thursday's win over the Swarm.
Four different Agua Caliente players were unable to suit up Tuesday, with the likes of Avila, Anthony Bennett (knee) and Angel Delgado (back) chipping away at the team's frontcourt depth. At least in the case of Avila, the forward has only been a minor rotational piece for the Clippers, averaging 7.5 points, 5.5 rebounds and 1.4 assists in 28 games with the club this season.
