Nique Clifford scored 24 points (10-13 FG, 0-1 3PT, 4-4 FT) and added seven rebounds and five assists in Sacramento's 122-110 loss to Portland on Sunday.
Fantasy Impact: Clifford finished the year with five straight double-digit scoring efforts and averaged 17.7 points, 5.2 rebounds, and 4.5 assists in six April contests. He posted 13.2 points, 5.2 rebounds, and 4.0 assists in 23 games after the All-Star break. Clifford played a big part for the short-handed Kings down the stretch and likely worked himself into a part of the future in Sacramento.

Maxime Raynaud scored 21 points (7-10 FG, 3-4 3PT, 4-4 FT) and grabbed nine rebounds in Sacramento's 122-110 loss to Portland on Sunday.
Fantasy Impact: Raynaud capped off a solid rookie campaign with his fifth straight double-digit scoring effort and his 12th such game in his last 13 outings. The rookie was having a decent start to his first NBA season by averaging 9.8 points and 6.6 rebounds prior to the All-Star break. However, he really came into his own post-break, averaging 17.3 points and 9.2 rebounds while shooting 59.2% from the floor over his final 26 games. While he won't win Rookie of the Year, he should receive some votes for the honor and he should be a big part of the future in Sacramento.
