With no Nique Clifford (hamstring), Plowden was given his third start of the season. He took advantage of the opportunity, recording the first 20-point game of his NBA career. Plowden did not provide much beyond the points and three-pointers, but Clifford’s injury may open the door for him to become fantasy-relevant during the final weeks of the regular season.

Two days removed from dropping a season-high 32 points, Raynaud recorded a second consecutive 30-point game on Thursday. He wasn’t as productive on the glass as he was in Tuesday’s loss to the Spurs, but many fantasy managers will be fine with the efficient 30-point effort from the rookie center. The Kings end Week 21 with a game against the Nets on Sunday, which could be another good game for Raynaud.

Monk appeared to injure his right shoulder on a first-half foul at the hands of Philadelphia’s Andre Drummond. He played 16 minutes before being ruled out for the night, finishing with four points, one rebound and five assists. Daeqwon Plowden, who started Thursday’s game for Nique Clifford, could see his minutes increase due to the Kings’ many injuries.

Making the first start of his career, Miller was able to turn in a well-rounded line. He made up for a rough shooting night by getting to the line, and he was able to extend his double-digit scoring streak to three games. Miller has been a solid rotation piece for the Clippers over the past two months, and while that hasn’t led to much fantasy production, he has been able to provide them with some depth. He’ll likely return to the bench for their next game.

With both Kawhi Leonard (ankle) and Darius Garland (toe) sidelined, Jones stepped up on offense to lead the Clippers in scoring, matching his season high for points. Jones has been productive for fantasy managers lately, though that has mostly been tied to his knack for getting defensive stats. This was a fun scoring outing, but it is unlikely he scores at this rate when Leonard and Garland are healthy.

Bogdanović hasn’t been part of the Clippers’ rotation since December, but with both Kawhi Leonard and Darius Garland out, they turned to him for some offense off the bench. It wasn’t enough to get the win, but he delivered his second-highest scoring outing of the season. This was cool to see from Bogdanović, but there’s no need to add him off the waiver wire.

On the one hand, Garland did well on Wednesday to not commit a turnover in his 29 minutes, after recording a season-high eight giveaways in the Clippers’ recent loss to the Spurs. Yet, the versatile point guard was held to his fewest points since March 4, while finishing without multiple made three-pointers for the first time as a Clipper. L.A. has lost three straight games and will rely on Garland’s production to help get back in the win column on Thursday.

Collins landed solid production in his 24 minutes of game action. In the loss, efficient shooting inside the arc nearly led to his first 20-point game of March. The veteran forward left his mark on the glass, as well, before subbing out in what was arguably his best statistical performance since returning from a shoulder injury on March 14. He’ll have a chance to one-up himself in Thursday’s rematch against New Orleans.

More than half of Leonard’s points came in the opening quarter of Wednesday’s contest, when he scored 12 points on 4-of-5 shooting. However, his activity and production slowed the rest of the way, as he was only able to get up seven more field-goal attempts. Still, the two-time Finals MVP was efficient enough on the night to earn his 46th 20-point game in a row. He nearly tallied a double-double along the way despite logging just 29 minutes. He could extend his scoring streak to 47 games as early as Thursday in the back-to-back against the Pelicans.

While Clifford has not missed any time, hamstring injuries can be tricky. As for Monk, he has missed the last four games, resulting in more playing time for Daeqwon Plowden. While he did exit Tuesday’s loss to the Spurs with a left leg injury, Plowden is not on the injury report for Thursday night.

This wasn’t a great performance for Westbrook, but the highlight of his night was that he passed Steve Nash to move into fifth place on the all-time assists list. Over his last five games, Westbrook has averaged 10.2 assists and has dishes out double-digit dimes in all but one of those. His appearances have been spotty with back-to-backs, but he should be available for the remainder of this week, barring a rest night against the tanking Nets on Sunday.

In what was an ugly loss for Sacramento, the rookie was once again able to be a bright spot. He set a new career high for scoring and nearly added another double-double to his resume.

They have two more games this week, with the 76ers up next on Thursday.

Leonard injured his left ankle during Saturday’s loss to the Kings and missed Monday’s loss to the Spurs. The 34-year-old small forward is questionable for Wednesday’s game against the Pelicans.

Mathurin came off the bench on Monday and concluded as one of the Clippers’ highest scorers on the evening. He was somewhat inefficient from the floor, got to the line often, and struggled from beyond the arc, things that have been consistent during his brief tenure as a Clipper. Still, he provides the team with real scoring upside and has continued to log heavy minutes for head coach Ty Lue. Given his workload, he’s got nightly potential to put up relevant performances as far as fantasy basketball is concerned.

Miller provided a huge spark off the bench for the Clippers on Monday, reaching the 20-point mark for the fifth time this season while also tying a team-high in rebounds. Miller went without a turnover in his 26 minutes of game action and added a few assists for good measure. He’s enjoyed a breakout season and, although he isn’t yet a reliable fantasy player, is a potential high-risk, high-reward streaming option.

Garland was likely tasked with doing even more on offense against the Spurs with Kawhi Leonard sidelined (ankle), and he mostly delivered. The former NBA All-Star led the Clippers in scoring, albeit on unspectacular shooting efficiency, and earned his fifth double-double of the season thanks to some strong facilitating. The ball distribution was nearly cancelled out by a season-high eight turnovers. Nonetheless, Garland has steadily made strides as he becomes more comfortable with his new team. He should be able to finish the fantasy season strongly.

While he did not offer much scoring and did not record any defensive stats, Raynaud provided good value in the rebounds category. Given how well he shot the ball in Saturday’s win over the Clippers, going 11-of-12 from the field, one could argue that the rookie was bound to cool down. Since the All-Star break, only Precious Achiuwa has been more valuable in fantasy basketball amongst Kings, regardless of league format.

Unsurprisingly, the Jazz had no answer defensively for DeRozan, who made consistent trips to the foul line on Sunday. The veteran wing recorded season-highs in free throws made (18) and attempted (21) while also shooting over 50 percent from the field. Add in the assists and steals, and this was an excellent end to Week 20 for managers who have DeRozan on their rosters. The Kings play three games in Week 21, beginning with the Spurs on Tuesday.

Eubanks most recently played 15 minutes in a March 11 loss to the Hornets, and the left thumb has been an issue for most of this season.

Westbrook finished Saturday’s triple-double with the 209th of his NBA career, but fantasy managers took a hit in the percentages.
