Sacramento Kings

Domantas Sabonis tallied 22 points (10-of-16 FG, 1-of-2 3Pt, 1-of-2 FT), 28 rebounds, and five assists across 43 minutes against the Pelicans on Thursday.

Fantasy Impact: Sabonis controlled the interior, hauling in a season-high-tying 28 rebounds while recording his fourth 20-point, 20-rebound game of the season. He fell just two boards shy of a 30-rebound performance, further cementing his elite fantasy value. Sabonis remains a dominant force in category leagues, especially for managers seeking strong rebounding and efficient scoring.

Zach LaVine posted 32 points (12-of-24 FG, 5-of-12 3Pt, 3-of-3 FT), two rebounds, 10 assists, and three steals across 45 minutes against the Pelicans on Thursday.

Fantasy Impact: LaVine put together his most complete game since joining Sacramento, leading all players in scoring, assists, and steals. He matched his season-high in assists while delivering his 14th 30-point game of the season. With a heavy workload and consistent scoring ability, LaVine’s fantasy outlook remains strong as he continues to establish himself in the Kings' offensive system.

Malik Monk contributed 24 points (8-of-24 FG, 4-of-12 3Pt, 4-of-4 FT), six rebounds, nine assists, one block, and one steal across 43 minutes against the Pelicans on Thursday.

Fantasy Impact: Monk provided a strong offensive boost, finishing second on the team in scoring, assists, and three-pointers. While the efficiency wasn’t ideal, his workload and playmaking ability remain valuable for fantasy managers. Monk has drained four or more threes in nine games this season and has reached 20 points in 20 outings. His role as Sacramento’s key offensive spark off the bench keeps him relevant in standard leagues.

Fantasy Impact: Fultz will be making his season debut this year. He remains off the fantasy radar.

Keon Ellis scored 27 points (10-14 FG, 7-11 3PT) to go along with five rebounds, one assist, one steal and two blocks in the Kings 119-111 win over the Pelicans.

Fantasy Impact: Ellis exploded for his second-best performance of the season in both points and shots made from deep. Despite his big performance on Wednesday, he remains off the fantasy radar.

DeMar DeRozan scored 24 points (9-17 FG, 3-6, 3-4 FT) to go along with four rebounds and six assists in the Kings 119-111 win over the Pelicans.

Fantasy Impact: After dropping 42 points on Monday, DeRozan didn't have quite the same performance but he still led the team in shot attempts. He'll continue to get more scoring opportunity with De'Aaron Fox traded.

Keegan Murray scored 11 points (5-11 FG, 1-4 3PT) to go along with five rebounds, three assists, two steals and one block in the Kings 129-128 win over the Mavericks.

Fantasy Impact: Murray has struggled in three of four games since Sacramento traded De'Aaron Fox. He was able to somewhat make up for his lack of scoring on Monday with his defensive numbers.

Colby Jones (trade) will be sidelined for Friday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. (Source: NBA Injury Report)

Fantasy Impact: The Wizards will be without Jones on Friday. This doesn't come as much of a surprise, as he was just traded there and will need some time to settle in before taking the court. Carlton Carrington is projected to see a large workload against the Cavaliers with Washington working with limited depth pieces in this matchup.

Alex Len (trade) will be inactive for Friday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. (Source: NBA Injury Report)

Fantasy Impact: The big man will not be available to play on Friday, as he just arrived in Washington after being traded there from Sacramento. He isn't likely to see a large workload for the foreseeable future, so fantasy managers shouldn't put much weight into his absence.

Jonas Valanciunas (trade) will play in Thursday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. (Source: James Ham on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: The big man will be available to play on Thursday after recently being traded to Sacramento from Washington. It remains to be seen what his workload will look like as a member of the Kings, so fantasy managers should keep tabs on how he looks over his first few games.

The Washington Wizards are trading Sidy Cissoko and a couple of draft picks to the Sacramento Kings in exchange for Jonas Valanciunas. (Source: Shams Charania on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Cissoko just recently arrived in Sacramento after being traded there from San Antonio, but now he will need to pack his bags again after being traded to the Wizards as part of a package deal for Jonas Valanciunas. It's unlikely that he will be fantasy relevant at any point this season, but he could earn more opportunities for himself on a subpar Wizards' roster moving forward.

Jordan McLaughlin has been traded to the Spurs in a deal that sent De'Aaron Fox to San Antonio and Zach LaVine to the Kings. (Source: Shams Charania on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: McLaughlin will likely remain off the fantasy radar with the Spurs.

The Kings have traded De'Aaron Fox to the Spurs. (Source: Shams Charania on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: It is a multi-team trade that is also sending Zach LaVine to the Kings. Fox had been connected to the Spurs for several weeks. The Spurs will look to make a push for the playoffs with Fox and Victor Wembanyama.

Doug McDermott (illness) is good to go for Saturday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. (Source: NBA Injury Report)

Fantasy Impact: The Kings have a short injury report for Saturday's game, and it just got even shorter, as they have removed McDermott from it altogether. He was previously listed with an illness, but he has recovered from it and should be available to see a full workload against the Thunder.

Devin Carter (wrist) is good to go for Wednesday's game against the Golden State Warriors. (Source: NBA Injury Report)

Fantasy Impact: Carter was sidelined for Sacramento's last game due to a wrist injury, but he carries no injury designation for Wednesday and will be available to make his return against the Warriors. He isn't likely to be a strong fantasy option even if he's fully healthy, however.

Trey Lyles came off the bench for 22 minutes, knocking down all six of his field-goal attempts—including four triples—to total 16 points. He added 6 rebounds and 2 blocks, finishing with a +6 plus/minus against Memphis.

Fantasy Impact: Lyles showcased his efficient shooting and ability to stretch the floor, making him a viable streaming option for points and threes. His defensive stats were a pleasant surprise, but consistency remains the key for his long-term fantasy relevance. Consider adding him if he continues to deliver in multiple categories.

Jae Crowder (back) is questionable for Monday's game against the Dallas Mavericks. (Source: NBA Injury Report)

Fantasy Impact: Crowder may not play on Monday. He's managing a back injury right now, and he officially carries a questionable tag for the time being. His absence wouldn't have any notable fantasy impacts for the Kings in this matchup.

The Sacramento Kings have parted ways with head coach Mike Brown. (Source: Shams Charania on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: The Kings lost in the Play-In Tournament last season after breaking their playoff drought two years ago. They're off to a slow start this year with a 13-18 record and currently riding a five-game losing streak. It is a bit of a surprise timing wise. Brown signed a three-year extension through 2027 with the Kings in June. Doug Christie is expected to be the Kings interim head coach.

Kevin Huerter is expected to play on Thursday against the Raptors. (Source: Sean Cunningham on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Huerter was sidelined on Monday against the Nuggets. He should return to his reserve role for the Kings.

Orlando Robinson is off the injury report for Friday's game against the Timberwolves. (Source: NBA Injury Report)

Fantasy Impact: Robinson is set to make his season debut. He likely won't be on the fantasy radar behind Domantas Sabonis with the second unit.
