What changed

Last season (2025-26)
Minutes+14.8Probably real

Clifford's playing time is up 14.8 minutes a game over his 33 games since Jan 25 (33.4 vs 18.6). Most of it is a teammate's absence: Keegan Murray (36 MPG before) played only 4 of 36 games, plus 4 more key players out, after he moved into the starting five. Probably real: about 80% should hold.
