Maxime Raynaud

Maxime Raynaud delivered a career-best performance in Thursday's loss to the Trail Blazers, recording 29 points (10-of-20 FG, 8-of-9 FT) and 11 rebounds to secure his second double-double of the season. The rookie center also contributed two assists, two steals, and a three-pointer in the contest.

With frontcourt regulars Domantas Sabonis and Drew Eubanks sidelined, Raynaud capitalized on the expanded opportunity to set new personal highs in both scoring and rebounding. Although he failed to record a block—a category where he has been quiet this season—his elevated production in the absence of the Kings' primary big men makes him a priority target for fantasy managers.

Maxime Raynaud scored 15 points (7-13 FG, 1-1 3PT, 0-2 FT) to go along with nine rebounds, one assist and one steal in the Kings 136-105 loss against the nuggeta.

Raynaud continues to start in place of Domantas Sabonis. He has reached double figures in scoring in four straight games and should remain on the streaming radar as long as Sabonis is sidelined.

In a game where the Kings' starting unit struggled to find rhythm, rookie Maxime Raynaud provided a massive spark off the bench to record his best professional outing. The center poured in a career-high 25 points on 10-of-15 shooting, knocking down two three-pointers and adding six rebounds, three assists, one steal, and one block.

Raynaud is capitalizing on the void left by the injured Domantas Sabonis, showcasing a ceiling that appears far higher than that of starter Drew Eubanks, who was limited to just 10 minutes in the loss. While he has not yet cracked the first unit, this breakout performance puts him firmly on the radar for deep-league managers looking for upside in the frontcourt.

Maxime Raynaud scored 19 points (7-11 FG, 1-2 3PT, 4-5 FT) and grabbed four rebounds in Friday's 128-119 loss to the Utah Jazz.

The rookie played and saw 22 minutes of action on Friday. He looked great coming off of the bench for Sacramento, leading the second unit with 19 points on good shooting splits. Raynaud could carve out a more consistent role for himself if he continues to play well, although is opportunities will likely decrease whenever Domantas Sabonis (knee) is back in the lineup for the Kings.

Maxime Raynaud returned to practice on Tuesday.
