Clippers' Bones Hyland: Back to bench
Rotowire
Hyland won't start Monday's game against the Knicks, Chris Mannix of SI.com reports.
As expected, Hyland will move back to the bench with James Harden cleared to make his Clippers debut. Harden will have a minutes restriction, so Hyland should still see some minutes as the top guard off the bench. Across three appearances as a reserve this season, Hyland has averaged 15.7 points in 21.7 minutes per game.

Clippers' Bones Hyland: Fills in pre-Harden
Rotowire
Hyland provided 17 points (6-14 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 1-2 FT), three assists and one steal over 32 minutes during Tuesday's 118-102 win over Orlando.
It's patently clear that James Harden will occupy the off-guard slot for the Clippers once the deal is finalized. Harden's arrival will have detrimental effects on Hyland and Norman Powell's fantasy value. Hyland has the opportunity to spell Russell Westbrook as well, so his production dip might not be too adverse.

Clippers' Bones Hyland: Moves to bench
Rotowire
Hyland isn't in the starting five for Tuesday's preseason game versus Utah, Andrew Greif of the Los Angeles Times reports.
Hyland will be replaced by Russell Westbrook in the starting lineup Tuesday. Hyland will likely compete with Terance Mann for the backup point guard role this season.
Hyland posted 18 points (7-14 FG, 0-6 3Pt, 4-4 FT), three rebounds, four assists and two blocks across 24 minutes in Sunday's 101-96 preseason loss to the Jazz.
Hyland was one of the more productive Clippers in the preseason opener, and while his role next season remains to be determined, he's expected to see decent minutes while operating as a sporadic scoring threat. He averaged 10.8 points, 3.5 rebounds and 3.4 assists in 19.1 minutes across 14 appearances for Los Angeles last year.

Clippers' Bones Hyland: Scores 20 points off bench
Rotowire
Hyland ended with 20 points (6-12 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 6-8 FT), one rebound, two assists and one steal over 21 minutes during Thursday's 129-124 loss to the Suns in Game 3 of the Western Conference Quarterfinals.
Hyland saw 13 and 14 minutes, respectively, during the first two games of the series, but with Kawhi Leonard (knee) joining Paul George (knee) on the sidelines Thursday, the second-year guard saw an uptick in playing time and took advantage. He was aggressive offensively and finished third on the team in scoring behind Norman Powell and Russell Westbrook thanks to a busy night at the charity stripe. If the Clippers' two superstars remain sidelined for Saturday's Game 4, Hyland should again see a sizable role off the bench.

Clippers' Bones Hyland: Offers spark on second unit
Rotowire
Hyland tallied 14 points (4-7 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 3-4 FT), four assists, two rebounds and one steal across 21 minutes in Wednesday's 125-118 win over the Lakers.
Though the recent return of Norman Powell from an extended absence has probably lowered Hyland's minutes ceiling, the second-year guard has at least been able to maintain a rotation spot while both Paul George (knee) and Marcus Morris (back) have remained sidelined. Hyland has been a critical second-unit scorer for the Clippers since settling into a spot March 23, averaging 13.7 points to go with 4.9 assists, 2.9 rebounds, 2.7 three-pointers and 1.0 steals in 22.3 minutes over a seven-game stretch.
Hyland amassed 18 points (7-12 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 1-1 FT), two rebounds and seven assists over 24 minutes during Saturday's 131-110 loss to the Pelicans.
Hyland was productive off the bench with 27 minutes on the floor and was the lone bright spot against the Pelicans' relentless scoring barrage from beyond the arc. The VCU product is experiencing a usage spike in the wake of Paul George's (leg) injury, making him a potential streaming option as the regular season comes to a close.

Clippers' Bones Hyland: Sees 15 minutes off bench
Rotowire
Hyland logged 10 points (4-11 FG, 2-5 3Pt), two rebounds and two assists in 15 minutes during Sunday's 134-124 overtime loss to Denver.
After picking up a DNP-CD against the Kings on Friday, it was good to see Hyland back in coach Ty Lue's rotation, but it looks as though he may have a difficult time achieving fantasy relevance the rest of the way. Hyland played exactly 16 minutes in each of his two games with the Clippers before the All-Star break, so barring an injury to Russell Westbrook (25 minutes played Sunday), Eric Gordon (25) and/or Terance Mann (25), the second-year guard looks to be more of a secondary option.
