Clifford played a good amount of minutes down the stretch of the season for the Kings due to Keegan Murray (ankle) missing time. While the 24-year-old shooting guard had at least 18 points in four of his last five games, he struggled with his shot at times in March and April. Still, there are flashes of potential with Clifford, though in order for him to be fantasy-relevant he has to enter next year in the starting lineup.

Sunday’s game was the second for Bogdanović since March 23, and he had one of his most productive outings of the season. The veteran wing shot 5-of-8 from beyond the arc against the Warriors, matching his season-high in that category. And the 17 points were the most in a game for Bogdanović since November 14, when he scored a season-high 21 in a double-overtime win over the Mavericks. Given what the Clippers’ rotation has looked like on most nights since the All-Star break, there may not be many opportunities available to Bogdanović in Wednesday’s Play-In Tournament game against the Warriors.

Mathurin capped the regular season with a solid overall performance, finishing one rebound and two assists shy of a triple-double. And he played 32 minutes, the lone Clipper to surpass 30, which may have been an attempt by head coach Tyronn Lue to build up the young wing’s confidence. Mathurin entered Sunday having totaled 24 points on 6-of-22 shooting in his prior four appearances. Even with Kawhi Leonard back in the fold, the Clippers will need a productive Mathurin to navigate the Play-In Tournament and reach the playoffs.

With no Kawhi Leonard (ankle), Collins returned to the Clippers’ starting lineup after coming off the bench in three of the previous four games. He finished one rebound shy of a double-double against the Warriors, but Collins produced nothing else in his 21 minutes on the floor. Leonard will be available for Wednesday’s rematch with the Warriors, which would relegate Collins to the backup center role he’s been asked to assume since Isaiah Jackson went down.

The Clippers will need the Kings to beat the Trail Blazers to have a chance a the No. 8 seed in the West, so they’ll prioritize extra rest for Leonard. John Collins should take on extra minutes with Leonard sidelined. This puts them on track to play the Warriors again on Wednesday in a win-or-go-home matchup.

The three veterans won’t be available for Sunday’s season finale. The absences of DeRozan, Westbrook and Monk have benefited Devin Carter, Nique Clifford and Daeqwon Plowden. That will remain the case on Sunday, with Carter coming off a 29-point effort in Friday’s win over the Warriors.

Jackson has been out since March 27, and he will remain out for Sunday’s season finale.

Leonard is on the injury report with a left ankle sprain, initially sustained in late March. The Clippers will need help to secure the No. 8 seed in the West after Friday’s loss to the Trail Blazers. If Leonard can’t play on Sunday, John Collins’ playing time is likely to increase after logging 18 minutes in Portland.

The rookie struggled with his shot in this game but made up for it by getting to the free throw line. This was his fourth career game scoring at least 20 points, with two of those coming in his last four games. There were high expectations for him to be an NBA-ready rookie, and he has had some excellent games this year, though his role early on was too limited for his season-long numbers to be strong. Still, there were some impressive flashes, and if he is able to remain a starter next season, he may be able to make a real impact for fantasy managers.

Plowden continues to pour in the points for the Kings. This was his fourth 20-point game of the season, with all of those coming over the past month. He spent most of this season in the G League, but he has taken advantage of his opportunity to play a larger role role since the trade deadline. He has played well, which should continue in the season finale on Sunday.

Raynaud continues to look like one of the best value picks of the 2025 class. He’s is currently eighth in the class in points per game, but since the All-Star break, he is fifth. Raynaud has been one of the few bright spots in what has been a tumultuous season for Sacramento. Depending on what moves the Kings make this summer, Raynaud could end up being a valuable option in fantasy basketball once again next season.

Carter has had some strong performances as a starter over the past couple of weeks, but this was his best. He set a new career high for scoring in the win, and this was his third 20-point game in his last six outings. The 2024 lottery pick struggled to find a place in Sacramento’s rotation early on, but he has played a consistent role over the past couple of months and has been effective recently. Hopefully he’ll be able to carry some of this into next season, though fantasy managers shouldn’t bank on it.

Leonard is just a machine. He extended his streak of games with at least 20 points to 57 by dropping 24 points in the loss to the Trail Blazers on Friday. Leonard was fourth overall in per game value this year. There shouldn’t be any sort of buying window for him in dynasty leagues this offseason despite him turning 35.

Garland did not play in Wednesday’s loss to the Thunder, as it was the Clippers’ second game in as many nights. His return will push John Collins to the bench. Collins has moved to the bench to help the Clippers account for the lack of options behind starting center Brook Lopez.

Collins started on Wednesday for the injured Darius Garland to give the Clippers a bigger opening unit. He did solid work on the glass and was decent as a scorer in his 27 minutes, ultimately falling just short of a double-double. Collins has had an up-and-down season with the Clippers, with highs and lows coming in bunches. Whether or not he remains in the starting unit once Garland returns remains to be seen. He and the Clippers face the Trail Blazers on Friday in a game that could determine which team gets the Western Conference’s eighth seed and two guaranteed chances in the Play-In Tournament to advance.

Miller was one of the Clippers’ most impactful performers against OKC. He scored efficiently and produced well off the bench, and also finished in a tie for a team-high in assists during his 30 minutes. Wednesday’s outing was another strong one in what’s been a breakout season for the third-year guard. He continues to be one of the Clippers’ best and most reliable bench options.

Leonard extended his streak of 20-point games to 56 on Wednesday. However, Oklahoma City’s defense made things tough on him throughout the night, as he shot under 50.0 percent from the field and committed three turnovers. The former two-time Finals MVP contributed on the glass and was solid from beyond the arc, but Wednesday certainly wasn’t one of his more productive outings.

Wednesday’s game is the second in as many nights for the Clippers, so Garland’s sitting is not a surprise.

Garland had 22 points on 18 field goal attempts in Tuesday’s win over the Mavericks. The 26-year-old point guard wasn’t as efficient as he had been recently and only had four assists. He’s provided eighth-round per game value over the last two weeks. Garland should thrive in his first full season with the Clippers next year as long as they keep Kawhi Leonard.

Leonard continues to finish off a strong season where he’s provided top-five per game value. The small forward has impressively appeared in 63 games so far after appearing in just 37 games last year. Leonard turns 35 this offseason, but is still playing at a high level.

Raynaud had another impressive game as he finishes out his rookie campaign. In just 25 minutes, the 23-year-old center had 17 points and eight rebounds. Raynaud didn’t provide much in the other categories, but he’s shown himself to be a worthwhile fantasy option when starting.

Rostered in eight percent of Yahoo! leagues, Cardwell provided fantasy managers with an excellent stat line on Sunday. One game removed from blocking five shots in a win over the Pelicans, the rookie center recorded four more in the 138-109 loss to the Clippers. Add in the rebounds, steals and field-goal percentage, and Cardwell’s performance was an excellent capper to his Week 23. For fantasy managers in leagues that run through Week 24, the Kings play three games, and Cardwell should continue to play extended minutes.

Sunday was the second time this season in which Raynaud grabbed at least 15 rebounds in a game, the first being a 19-rebound effort against the Pelicans on February 9. The 7-foot-1 rookie has provided solid fantasy value since moving into the starting lineup for the injured Domantas Sabonis, ending Week 23 rostered in 43 percent of Yahoo! leagues. Raynaud’s rookie campaign has been an encouraging one, but his fantasy outlook for 2026-27 depends on Sabonis’ status, as he would offer limited value if relegated to the bench.

Clifford and the Kings lost by 29 points, but that didn’t stop the 24-year-old guard from playing 38 minutes and amassing a full stat line.

Garland was well on his way to scoring at least 20 points and potentially flirting with 10 assists, but he only played 24 minutes because the Clippers were blowing out the Kings.

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.

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.

Based on what he’s shown as a rookie, his ceiling should be high when projecting fantasy impact down the road.

Collins has reached double figures in three consecutive games, a solid run for a player who totaled 13 points in the three games prior. However, his point total has decreased in each of the Clippers’ last three games. And his production took on added importance when Isaiah Jackson went down with a high ankle sprain. The backup center minutes now belong to Collins, resulting in his and Brook Lopez’s (six points, six rebounds, three assists and one block) minutes being staggered more than before Jackson’s injury. Jackson will be re-evaluated in one week, which means Collins will continue to have added importance.

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.

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. However, Clifford was productive in his time on the floor and did not experience a setback with his foot. The Kings play three games in Week 23, starting with the Raptors on Wednesday.
