Rui Hachimura posts 21 points, 9 rebounds and 7 assists in Clippers loss

Hachimura delivered his best fantasy line of the season on Wednesday, but the Clippers have no games left this week and none next week either.

By Fantasy Roundup Staff · November 5, 2026

Rui Hachimura posted 21 points, 9 rebounds, 7 assists, 1 steal, 1 three and 1 turnover on 7-of-18 shooting and 6-of-7 from the line in 37 minutes as a starter on Wednesday, November 4, when the Clippers fell 117-116 to the Heat.

The line produced 44.3 fantasy points, nearly double his 22.7 a game over his previous 5 games, and gave him counting-stat value across multiple categories. In nine-category leagues he ranks 229th overall with a -4.16 rating. His projected 18.8 fantasy points a game in default points scoring places him as a starting forward with limited upside.

Rui Hachimura

Hachimura's 21 points topped the 13.4 a game he had averaged over his previous 5 games, while his 9 rebounds and 7 assists dwarfed his 6.0 and 0.6 marks over that stretch. He played 37 minutes, 7 more than his 30.0-minute average, and took 18 shots against a 23.0 per cent usage rate and 47.7 per cent true shooting. The across-the-board production represented his best fantasy showing of the season.

The Clippers have no games left this week and none scheduled next week, so there is no immediate chance to build on the performance. Season to date (6 games, this one included), Hachimura has posted 14.7 points, 6.5 rebounds and 1.7 assists in 31.2 minutes a game while starting every outing. He remains a mid-range fantasy option whose value depends on whether the minutes and shot attempts stay elevated.

What to do

• Hold Hachimura through the Clippers' schedule gap and monitor his role when games resume.

• Add him in deeper leagues if the minutes and usage remain near Wednesday's levels.

• Do not expect Wednesday's assist total to repeat given his 1.7 a game on the season.
