Quiet in loss
Clifford notched three points (1-4 FG, 1-2 3Pt), two rebounds and one assist over 19 minutes during Friday's 129-102 loss to Phoenix.
Analyse
Clifford continues to deal with the ups and downs of being a rookie on a bad team. Despite some encouraging signs over the past two weeks, Clifford remains nothing more than a stash candidate in most fantasy formats. In eight appearances during that time, he has averaged 9.0 points, 4.1 rebounds, 1.4 steals and 1.4 three-pointers.

Scores team-high 18 points in loss
Clifford ended Tuesday's 131-90 loss to the Clippers with 18 points (7-12 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 1-1 FT), one rebound, two assists and one block in 29 minutes.
Analyse
The Kings were a mess against the Clippers, as no one in the starting lineup scored more than 12 points. Clifford stepped in for relief and cleaned up once the game was out of hand, and he finished as the most productive Sacramento player by a wide margin. The 2025 first-round pick has had some stellar moments during his rookie season, and although his average of 5.8 points over 29 games doesn't jump off the page, the Colorado State product's talent is evident.

Another intriguing performance
Clifford supplied eight points (3-10 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT), nine rebounds, one assist and two steals over 20 minutes during Saturday's 113-107 win over the Mavericks.
Analyse
Clifford continues to flash some tasty upside, flirting with what would have been the first double-double of his career. While his role remains relatively inconsistent, his ability to contribute across multiple categories makes him an intriguing fantasy prospect. Over his past four games, Clifford has averaged 10.0 points, 5.5 rebounds, 1.7 steals and 1.3 three-pointers. He is certainly someone to keep an eye on, especially if Sacramento opts to go with a youth movement later in the season.
