Mann ended Friday's 106-100 win over the Rockets with one point (0-3 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT), six rebounds, three assists, one block and one steal over 21 minutes.
Although Mann joined the starting lineup for the first time this season during Friday's matchup, he saw a decrease in playing time and was held to a single-digit scoring total for the fourth time in five appearances this year. However, the Clippers ended their skid with Mann starting and Russell Westbrook coming off the bench, so it's certainly possible Mann has a chance to retain a starting role. Mann has been consistent in rebounds and assists early in the year but is averaging just 3.8 points per game while shooting 38.1 percent from the floor.

Clippers' Terance Mann: Slated to start against Houston
Rotowire
Mann will join the starting lineup for Friday's game against Houston, Chris Haynes of Turner Sports reports.
Mann came off the bench during his first four appearances of the season and averaged 4.5 points, 4.8 rebounds and 3.0 assists in 26.0 minutes per game. However, Russell Westbrook approached the Clippers' coaching staff about coming off the bench to establish more continuity among the first unit, so Mann will take on a starting role. The Clippers have gotten off to a slow start this year, so it's possible Mann will retain a starting role if the change leads to some wins for the team.

Clippers' Terance Mann: Sees minutes boost off bench
Rotowire
Mann played 24 minutes and finished with six points (2-6 FG, 2-3 3Pt), four rebounds, three assists, one steal and one block in Saturday's 122-114 loss to the Pelicans.
After starting in place of Kawhi Leonard in Wednesday's win over Memphis, Mann has come off the bench in consecutive losses to the Grizzlies and Pelicans following Leonard's return to the lineup. Mann picked up only 19 minutes in Friday's 108-94 loss, but he picked up some extra run in the second leg of the back-to-back set and was able to make a mark in every major category except for free-throw percentage. Mann will likely be a regular part of the rotation moving forward, but his upside looks as though it could be limited while Leonard and Russell Westbrook are the clear high-usage options on offense in the continued absence of Paul George (knee).
