Nique Clifford Shines in Keegan Murray's Absence
Sacramento Kings forward Nique Clifford stepped up on Wednesday night in his team's exhibition loss to the Clippers. Clifford scored 19 points on an efficient 8-of-13 from the field, and added three rebounds, one steal, and two three-pointers. The first-round pick from Colorado State could be a great late-round pick since he should get a chance to contribute early in the season with Keegan Murray (thumb) set to miss at least a month. Dario Saric started in place of Murray, but Clifford has shown more fantasy potential. He'll be an early-season sleeper to watch, and he could be a good DFS or streaming play in the early going, even if he comes off the bench.
