Traoré led the Nets in points, assists and three-pointers in the win over the Wizards on Sunday. The 19-year-old guard continues to improve his future standing in the organization with a strong finish to the season. Traoré and the Nets have four games in the final week of the regular season, so there’s still time for him to make an impression before the offseason begins.

Less than 24 hours removed from a 12-point first quarter in a loss to the Hawks, Smith has received a standard contract. That said, he was productive across two 10-day contracts, earning the upgrade to a standard deal. Given the Nets’ injuries on the perimeter, Smith should play rotation minutes over the final eight days of the regular season.

DeRozan had a fairly quiet Friday night from a production standpoint. He fell way below his season average in points, which is understandable given he only played 23 minutes. But even in his limited time, he was one of Sacramento’s best passers on a night when the offense scored a lot of points. DeRozan was impactful in his minutes, but the fantasy production didn’t follow.

Clifford was one of the Kings’ most productive players on Friday; he led the team in assists and three-pointers while finishing second in points. The rookie also logged a team-high in minutes, and like fellow rookie Maxime Raynaud, Clifford has had a very encouraging season for the Kings. He’ll be an intriguing player to follow from a fantasy standpoint going forward.

Raynaud’s stellar rookie season continued on Friday, as he impressed by nearly logging 30 points. He shot the ball with extreme accuracy, got to the charity stripe a good amount, and finished one rebound shy of a double-double. Raynaud has been one of the bright spots for the Kings in what’s been a tough season from a wins and losses standpoint. Based on what he’s shown as a rookie, his ceiling should be high when projecting fantasy impact down the road.

Traoré played a team-high 29 minutes in Friday’s defeat, and the rookie has started every game that he’s been available for since January 29. The final few games of the regular season will be important for Traoré and fellow rookies Drake Powell (6/2/4/2/1) and Ben Saraf (2/2/4) as the Nets’ decision-makers continue to evaluate them with an eye toward 2026-27. The Nets finish their Week 23 slate on Sunday against the Wizards.

Claxton played 25 minutes in Friday’s defeat, which is better for fantasy managers than not having him at all. The limitations placed on veteran players by some lottery-bound teams in the latter stages of the season are a good argument for ending fantasy seasons earlier than Week 23. Claxton has not exceeded 25 minutes since March 7, and he probably won’t on Sunday against the Wizards, either.

Clowney got into it with Atlanta’s Mouhamed Gueye just over halfway through the third quarter. And the Nets forward kept going after officials separated the players, resulting in a second technical foul. Clowney finished with 12 points (4-of-7 FGs, 4-of-4 FTs), four rebounds, one assist and one steal. Josh Minott should play more minutes for the remainder of Friday’s game.

Mann is back from injury and will rejoin the Nets’ starting unit. Brooklyn has lost 11 of its last 12 games, and with six games remaining in the season, the Nets have one of the league’s worst records. Clowney and Claxton could be solid fantasy contributors on Friday.

Wolf, the 27th overall pick in last June’s draft, injured his ankle during a March 22 game against the Kings and has not played since. With Michael Porter Jr. also done for the year, Ziaire Williams has taken on added fantasy value in recent games. Wolf appeared in 57 games as a rookie, averaging 8.9 points, 4.9 rebounds, 2.2 assists and 1.2 three-pointers in 20.8 minutes. While wasn’t productive enough to become a must-roster player, there were nights when Wolf was a worthwhile streamer in deep leagues.

Having missed the Nets’ past 11 games, Porter Jr. will miss the team’s remaining regular-season games, head coach Jordi Fernandez announced on Friday. The championship-winning forward will finish the season having averaged 24.2 points and 7.1 rebounds per game. With Danny Wolf also out, Ziaire Williams should remain a productive fantasy contributor.

While Claxton and Clowney are on the Nets’ initial injury report for Friday, both are considered probable.

DeRozan’s 12 free throws were the most he’s attempted in a game since March 15, when he put up 21 attempts in a win over the Jazz. Also, Wednesday’s game was the first in which he’s made multiple three-pointers since January 6, so fantasy managers will be pleased with that bonus. The Kings don’t have a back-to-back to worry about for their final two games of Week 23. Hopefully, that means DeRozan is guaranteed to be on the court playing starters’ minutes.

Back in the rotation after sitting out Sunday’s loss to the Nets, Monk played 29 minutes off the bench in Toronto. The final stat line was a solid one, and the veteran guard is capable of providing good value in the Kings’ final two games of Week 23. As long as Monk is hitting the high-20s in minutes, he’s worth rostering in 14-team leagues, and some 12-team formats as well.

Achiuwa was outstanding on Wednesday, grabbing a season-high 19 rebounds and recording his 11th double-double of the season. By comparison, he recorded 12 double-doubles in his previous two seasons combined. The Kings’ frontcourt injuries have opened the door for Achiuwa, and on most nights, he’s taken advantage. Sacramento plays two more games in Week 23, starting with the Pelicans on Friday.

While he had a rough night at the foul line, Achiuwa once again provided solid value in points, rebounds and field-goal percentage. Since the All-Star break, he has been close to a top-50 player in eight-cat formats, exceeding expectations by a sizable distance. The Kings’ three games in Week 23 don’t include a back-to-back, which bodes well for Achiuwa’s availability.

Moved into the starting lineup thanks to the absences of Malik Monk and DeMar DeRozan, Clifford played 37 minutes on Sunday. With Saturday’s loss to the Hawks being his first game back after a two-game absence, the rookie playing that much on Sunday was surprising.

Powell, who entered Sunday shooting 28.5 percent from three, made his first four attempts on Sunday. That’s an area where he will need to become more consistent in time, and the performance against the Kings was a step in the right direction.

Lines like the one Clowney recorded on Sunday will satisfy most fantasy managers, outside of the free-throw percentage.
