Malik Monk Malik Monk had 13 points in 24 minutes in loss
Wed, Nov 4, 2026, 6:53 PM
Malik Monk had 13 points (5-of-16 FGs), two rebounds, three assists, and three 3-pointers in loss to Lakers.
Analysis: Malik Monk is currently shooting 35.1% from the field on the season which is currently a career low, including his rookie season. He has really struggled to get into a rhythm and the Kings are not as interested in playing and utilizing his skillset. He should start hitting more shots, but the disinterest in the organization to play him isn't a great sign for his long term future in the league. |
Xavier Cooks Acuff with 22 and 12 assists in loss to Lakers
Wed, Nov 4, 2026, 6:48 PM
Darius Acuff Jr. put up 22 points (8-of-24 FGs, 3-of-4 FTs), three rebounds, twelve assists, two steals, and three 3-pointers on Wednesday against Lakers.
Analysis: Acuff continues his rookie of the year campaign and put up more crazy numbers as a rookie. Acuff is 7th in the league in usage which should tell you how much he's been commanding the offense on this team. If you grabbed him in redraft, enjoy the numbers for this season because there's no sign of this slowing down. In dynasty, he needs to get better defensively for him to command this usage. |
Domantas Sabonis Domantas Sabonis with 16/17 in loss to Lakers
Wed, Nov 4, 2026, 6:46 PM
Domantas Sabonis had 16 points (5-of-10 FGs, 6-of-9 FTs), 17 rebounds, an assist, and a steal in the 116-103 loss to the Lakers.
Analysis: At the end of the game, he was holding his ribs and grimacing in pain as he went to the locker room, so it's something to keep an eye on. The two-man game with Acuff has been effective on the offensive end. The usage of Sabonis has gone done dramatically and he's shooting very efficiently from the field this year at 69.1% when the best season he had apart from this year was 61.5% in the 22-23 season. If the efficiency drops, then Sabonis will likely have more of a drop off in the points category with how much Acuff has had the ball. |

Wed, Nov 4, 2026, 10:15 AM
NBA Injury Report
Daeqwon Plowden (illness) has been ruled out against the Lakers on Wednesday.
Analysis: Plowden will be sidelined, though he has played a total of just seven minutes over their last three games. His absence won't alter the Kings' rotation. |
Precious Achiuwa Precious Achiuwa (ankle) available vs. Los Angeles
Wed, Nov 4, 2026, 10:12 AM
NBA Injury Report
Precious Achiuwa (ankle) is available to play against the Lakers on Wednesday.
Analysis: As expected, Achiuwa will be good to go against Los Angeles. He'll continue to start in place of Keegan Murray, who is still sidelined with an ankle injury. Achiuwa has had a couple productive outings, but he isn't the best streaming option on a 14-game day. |

NBA Injury Report
Precious Achiuwa (ankle) is probable for Wednesday's game against the Lakers.
Analysis: Achiuwa, who has been starting for the injured Keegan Murray (ankle), played 27 minutes in Monday's win over the Mavericks. The probable tag suggests he'll be available, and Achiuwa should remain in the starting lineup if so. |

Malik Monk Malik Monk posts 24 points, seven assists vs. DAL
Mon, Nov 2, 2026, 4:46 PM
Malik Monk amassed 24 points (9-of-14 FGs, 1-of-2 FTs), one rebound, seven assists, one block and five three-pointers in Monday's win over the Mavericks.
Analysis: After totaling 19 points in his first five appearances of the season, Monk snapped out of that funk in a major way on Monday. The Kings' bench sparkplug scored 11 points in the first half and 13 in the second, and no one will turn down Monk's seven assists, either. Also, he played a season-high 30 minutes on Monday. If Monk continues to play mid-to-high 20s minutes, his chances of providing reliable deep-league fantasy value increase. |

Xavier Cooks Darius Acuff Jr. records game-high 25 points
Mon, Nov 2, 2026, 4:45 PM
Darius Acuff Jr. tallied 25 points (10-of-21 FGs, 3-of-4 FTs), five rebounds, six assists, one steal and two three-pointers in Monday's win over the Mavericks.
Analysis: Although he committed five turnovers, Acuff's overall production on Monday was a nice way for fantasy managers to start their weeks. Against the Mavericks, the rookie point guard was at his best in the second half, scoring 19 points, grabbing four rebounds, and dishing out three assists while shooting 7-of-11 from the field. Given Acuff's inexperience, there will be bumps in the road. However, the Kings should be pleased with his progress so far. |
Zach LaVine Zach LaVine (elbow) scores 23 points vs. Dallas
Mon, Nov 2, 2026, 4:45 PM
Zach LaVine (elbow) recorded 23 points (8-of-14 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), four rebounds, one assist and five three-pointers in Monday's win over the Mavericks.
Analysis: After attempting nine shots in Saturday's blowout loss to the Grizzlies, LaVine got up 14 on Monday. Fantasy managers will be pleased with his efficiency: LaVine shot over 50 percent from the field and made five of nine three-point attempts. With the Kings handing the keys to Darius Acuff Jr., there have been nights when LaVine and Domantas Sabonis (9/7/4/1) don't get the touches they want. That can be a challenge for fantasy managers, especially if neither LaVine nor Sabonis gets moved before the February trade deadline. |

Zach LaVine Zach LaVine (elbow) upgraded to available Monday
Mon, Nov 2, 2026, 1:02 PM
NBA Injury Report
Zach LaVine (elbow) is available for Monday's game against the Mavericks.
Analysis: LaVine is good to go after being listed as questionable on the initial injury report. He'll occupy his usual place in the Kings' starting lineup. |

Zach LaVine Zach LaVine (elbow) questionable Monday vs. Dallas
Sun, Nov 1, 2026, 12:50 PM
NBA Injury Report
Zach LaVine (elbow) is questionable for Monday's game against the Mavericks.
Analysis: LaVine is dealing with right elbow inflammation. He hasn't missed a game this season, but if that changes, Malik Monk could take on a bigger role, whether he starts or comes off the bench. |

Domantas Sabonis Domantas Sabonis attempts five shots vs. Memphis
Sat, Oct 31, 2026, 5:18 PM
Domantas Sabonis recorded 11 points (3-of-5 FGs, 5-of-6 FTs), 14 rebounds, eight assists and one steal in Saturday's loss to the Grizzlies.
Analysis: Fantasy managers rostering Sabonis received solid returns in rebounds and assists. However, the Kings center took just five shots on Saturday, matching his season low. Sabonis is averaging 9.2 attempts per game, his fewest since 2018-19. Zach LaVine (11 points, one assist) attempted nine shots on Saturday. With rookie guard Darius Acuff Jr. having the ultimate âgreen light,â it will be interesting to see how vets like Sabonis and LaVine adjust. |
De'Andre Hunter De'Andre Hunter finishes defeat with 19 points
Sat, Oct 31, 2026, 5:18 PM
De'Andre Hunter amassed 19 points (8-of-18 FGs, 1-of-3 FTs), three rebounds, one steal and two three-pointers in Saturday's loss to the Grizzlies.
Analysis: While Hunter's streak of 20-point games didn't reach three on Saturday, he did hit double digits in shot attempts for the third straight game. His fantasy value has been limited for most of his career, especially in category leagues, because he hasn't produced much in assists, steals, or blocks. However, Hunter's recent scoring run and Keegan Murray's continued absence make him someone to consider adding in deep leagues. |

Xavier Cooks Darius Acuff Jr. scores career-high 38 points
Sat, Oct 31, 2026, 5:17 PM
Darius Acuff Jr. finished Saturday's loss to the Grizzlies with 38 points (12-of-25 FGs, 5-of-5 FTs), five rebounds, five assists and nine three-pointers.
Analysis: After six games, it's clear the Kings won't impose any offensive limitations on Acuff. While efficiency can be an issue at times, that was not the case on Saturday. Acuff established new highs in points and three-pointers while shooting a respectable 48 percent from the field. He was especially good in the first half, scoring 21 points on 7-of-13 shooting and committing one turnover. The Kings play four games next week, starting with the Mavericks on Monday. |

Domantas Sabonis Domantas Sabonis tallies 9/15/7/2/1 line vs. PEls
Thu, Oct 29, 2026, 5:27 PM
Domantas Sabonis posted a full line on Thursday with nine points (4-of-7 FGs), 15 rebounds, seven assists, two steals, one block and seven turnovers against the Pelicans.
Analysis: This was a quiet night for Sabonis as a scorer, but he was still able to impact the game in other ways. They were outscored by 12 points during his 40 minutes, and the turnovers were frustrating, but the well-rounded stat line will help make up for that. It's a weird situation for the 0-5 Kings, and it wouldn't be surprising if Sabonis was moved later this season. However, as long as he's on the floor, he'll continue to stuff the stat sheet. |

Precious Achiuwa Precious Achiuwa scores season-high 24 points
Thu, Oct 29, 2026, 5:21 PM
Precious Achiuwa contributed 24 points (12-of-17 FGs), nine rebounds, two assists and four steals on Thursday against the Pelicans.
Analysis: For the third straight game, Achiuwa got the starting nod in place of Keegan Murray (ankle), and this was his best performance of the season. He set a new season high for scoring and nearly finished with a double-double. Murray is set to be re-evaluated in early November, but Achiuwa should have at least a few more starts, making him worth considering as a streaming option with the Kings playing four games next week. |

De'Andre Hunter De'Andre Hunter matches season-high 24 points
Thu, Oct 29, 2026, 5:18 PM
De'Andre Hunter lit up the Pelicans with 24 points (7-of-13 FGs), five rebounds, one assist and four three-pointers on Thursday.
Analysis: It was a rough start to the year for Hunter, but he was able to score a season-best 24 points in their previous game on Tuesday. In this one, he matched that mark, though he knocked down one less three-pointer. Hunter has been hot during this two-game stretch, but he won't continue to score 24 points every night, and his lack of production in other categories makes him a difficult player to justify rostering. |

Xavier Cooks Acuff drops 34 points, 14 assists in loss
Thu, Oct 29, 2026, 5:13 PM
Cameron Salerno
Darius Acuff Jr. led the Kings with 34 points (13-of-26 FGs), six rebounds, 14 assists, one steal, three three-pointers and six turnovers in a 132-120 loss to the Pelicans on Thursday.
Analysis: The trend of Acuff's field goal percentage improving every game continued in this one, which resulted in the best game of his young career. Acuff became just the fourth teenager in NBA history to have at least 30 points and 10 assists in a game, and while it didn't lead to a win, it was an impressive performance. He cooled off in the second half after entering the break with 21 points, but it still led to a fantastic outing for the rookie in just his fifth game. It may not be this gaudy or efficient every night, but Acuff should continue to have plenty of usage all season. |

Zach LaVine Zach LaVine hits three triples, scores 22 points
Tue, Oct 27, 2026, 4:48 PM
Zach LaVine recorded 22 points (7-of-10 FGs, 5-of-7 FTs), three rebounds, three assists and three three-pointers in Tuesday's loss to the Spurs.
Analysis: LaVine has scored at least 22 points in each of Sacramento's first four games, and against the Spurs, he made 70 percent of his shots from the field. With this being a contract year for LaVine, the question is whether a strong first half of the season will put him on the radar of contending teams heading into the February trade deadline. If so, joining a team with meaningful basketball to play in March could preserve LaVine's fantasy value. |

Xavier Cooks Darius Acuff Jr. posts 19 points, five assists
Tue, Oct 27, 2026, 4:48 PM
Darius Acuff Jr. amassed 19 points (8-of-20 FGs), three rebounds, five assists and three three-pointers in Tuesday's loss to the Spurs.
Analysis: While the field-goal percentage remains relatively low, Acuff shot 40 percent from the field in Tuesday's defeat. His percentage has increased in each of Sacramento's first four games, and the rookie point guard has recorded 19 assists and 11 turnovers. Acuff still has plenty of work to do on efficiency, but he is making strides, which is good news for the Kings and fantasy managers. |
