Double-doubles vs. Atlanta
Raynaud logged 18 points (5-8 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 6-8 FT), 10 rebounds and one steal over 30 minutes during the Kings' 123-113 loss to the Hawks on Saturday.
Analysis
Raynaud scored seven of his 18 points in the first quarter and finished as the Kings' second-leading scorer behind DeMar DeRozan (22 points) while posting his 17th double-double of the season. It was the fourth time this season that Raynaud connected on at least two threes, with three of those games occurring within his last six outings. The rookie second-rounder has averaged 18.2 points, 8.6 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 0.8 blocks over 33.1 minutes per game since March 1. Raynaud is establishing himself as a long-term piece for the Kings, which might give the franchise something to think about when it comes to the future of Domantas Sabonis (knee).

Leaves mark at both ends
Raynaud notched 10 points (4-9 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds, three assists and three steals in 39 minutes during Thursday's 121-117 loss to the Magic.
Analysis
The rookie out of Stanford took a step back from his recent performances, and this was his lowest scoring output over his last five appearances. The big man is firmly entrenched as a starter since Domantas Sabonis (knee) is out for the season, and he's making the most of the opportunity. He has scored in double digits in all but two of his 18 games since the All-Star break while posting seven double-doubles in that span.

Stays hot in win
Raynaud notched 22 points (10-13 FG, 2-4 FT), 10 rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal in 36 minutes during Sunday's 126-122 victory over the Nets.
Analysis
Raynaud kept his foot on the gas pedal, scoring at least 22 points for a third consecutive game. With fellow rookie big man Dylan Cardwell still working his way back from a recent 11-game layoff due to a left ankle sprain, Raynaud is gaining a strong hold on the top center role. Raynaud has averaged 20.4 points, 8.5 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 1.4 blocks over 33.6 minutes per tilt in his last eight games, shooting 60.2 percent from the field during this span.
