Wed, Jan 21, 2026, 10:06 AM
NBA Injury Report
Domantas Sabonis (knee) is out for Wednesday's matchup with the Raptors, and Precious Achiuwa (ankle) is questionable.
Analysis: Sabonis will get a maintenance day for the second leg of Sacramento's back-to-back set, and with Achiuwa questionable, Maxime Raynaud could be in line to start against Toronto. Dylan Cardwell would likely be Raynaud's backup, and Cardwell is worth a look in deeper leagues as a streamer for rebounds and blocked shots. |

Tue, Jan 20, 2026, 6:46 PM
DeMar DeRozan had 23 points (6-of-12 FGs, 10-of-10 FTs), four rebounds, five assists and one three-pointer in Tuesday's loss to the Heat.
Analysis: DeRozan's uptick in fantasy value lately continues. The 36-year-old small forward dropped 23 points in the loss to the Heat on Tuesday. DeRozan has been a second-round player in per game value over the last two weeks. We'll see if he can keep it going against his former team the Raptors on the second night of a back-to-back Wednesday. |

Tue, Jan 20, 2026, 6:42 PM
Russell Westbrook had 22 points (9-of-14 FGs, 3-of-4 FTs), two rebounds, seven assists, two steals, one block and one three-pointer in Tuesday's loss to the Heat.
Analysis: It was a mixed bag for Westbrook on Tuesday. The 37-year-old point guard had 22 points and seven assists against the Heat, but also turned the ball over six times and was 1-of-6 from behind the three-point line. Westbrook has provided ninth-round per game value over the last two weeks. The Kings take on the Raptors Wednesday night for the second game of a back-to-back. |

Keon Ellis Keon Ellis (knee) off injury report vs. Miami
Mon, Jan 19, 2026, 2:16 PM
Keon Ellis (knee) is not on the injury report against the Heat on Tuesday.
Analysis: Ellis has missed the Kings' last two games with a knee injury, but he'll return to take on Miami. However, prior to this two-game absence, Ellis averaged under eight minutes per game. He'll be available, but there is no guarantee he plays enough to be worth streaming. |

DeMar DeRozan DeMar DeRozan dishes out seven assists vs. POR
Sun, Jan 18, 2026, 5:44 PM
DeMar DeRozan finished Sunday's loss to the Trail Blazers with 14 points (6-of-11 FGs, 2-of-3 FT), two rebounds, seven assists, two steals and one blocked shot.
Analysis: While his scoring output was limited, DeRozan had a good night as a secondary playmaker. The seven assists were the most in a game for the veteran wing since December 23, when he dished out eight in a loss to the Pistons. Over the past two weeks, DeRozan has been a third-round player in eight-cat formats. He's providing excellent fantasy value, and it's good for those who have DeRozan rostered that the Kings play four games in Week 14. |

Malik Monk Malik Monk hits five triples, scores 23 points
Sun, Jan 18, 2026, 5:43 PM
Malik Monk finished Sunday's loss to the Trail Blazers with 23 points (9-of-15 FGs), one rebound, two assists and five three-pointers.
Analysis: With no Keon Ellis (knee) in the fold, Monk's place within the Kings' rotation has remained secure. He's played at least 16 minutes in six consecutive games, a run in which Monk has surpassed 20 points twice. He didn't offer much value outside of points, three-pointers and field-goal percentage in Sunday's defeat, but Monk having a consistent role is good news for those who have him rostered. |

Russell Westbrook Russell Westbrook tallies 23 points, seven assists
Sun, Jan 18, 2026, 5:42 PM
Russell Westbrook notched 23 points (9-of-15 FGs, 2-of-3 FTs), three rebounds, seven assists, three steals and three three-pointers in Sunday's loss to the Trail Blazers.
Analysis: A 20-point scorer in three of his last four games, Westbrook's efficiency has improved recently. Over the past two weeks, the Kings' point guard has been close to a top-50 player in eight-cat formats. If not for his shooting 65 percent from the foul line during this stretch, Westbrook would be a top-50 player by a safe margin. The Kings play four games in Week 14, starting with a Tuesday/Wednesday home back-to-back before heading east. |

Russell Westbrook Westbrook drops game-high 26 points vs. Washington
Fri, Jan 16, 2026, 7:06 PM
Russell Westbrook led the Kings with 26 points (9-of-14 FGs), two rebounds, six assists, one steal and six three-pointers on Friday against the Wizards.
Analysis: Westbrook fell one point shy of matching his season high for points, but it was the efficiency of his shooting that made this performance so good. He also set a new season high for three-pointers, which was enough to help the Kings win a fourth straight game. The counting stats have been consistent for Russ this year, though they could drop as Domantas Sabonis ramps up. For now, managers shouldn't expect this level of efficiency often, but Westbrook should see enough usage to continue providing value. |

Precious Achiuwa Precious Achiuwa scores 16 points vs. Washington
Fri, Jan 16, 2026, 7:00 PM
Precious Achiuwa finished with 16 points (7-of-8 FGs), six rebounds, one assist, two blocks and one three-pointer against the Wizards on Friday.
Analysis: Achiuwa has been starting for the Kings with Keegan Murray (ankle) sidelined. He has had a few strong performances scattered, but the last four games have been his best. During that stretch, he's averaging 13.8 points, 8.5 rebounds, 1.3 steals and 1.5 blocks per game while shooting 61.1 percent from the floor. As long as he continues to start, he'll have upside as a streamer, especially if he continues to play 33.8 minutes per game like he has during this four-game stretch. |

Domantas Sabonis Domantas Sabonis (knee) logs 21 minutes in return
Fri, Jan 16, 2026, 6:57 PM
Domantas Sabonis returned to the lineup on Friday and contributed 13 points (5-of-6 FGs, 3-of-5 FTs), six rebounds, five assists, one steal and one block in a 128-115 win over the Wizards.
Analysis: After missing nearly two months with a partially-torn meniscus, Sabonis was available to take on the Wizards. Though he came off the bench, he did enough to help the Kings win their fourth straight game. He played 21 minutes and was productive during his time on the floor, which is a great sign for the fantasy managers that have been patiently waiting for him to return. his role should increase as he plays more games, and Maxime Raynaud will eventually return to playing a role off the bench. For now, it was just good to have Sabonis back out on the floor. |

Keon Ellis (knee) is out for Friday's game against the Wizards.

Domantas Sabonis Domantas Sabonis (knee) will return vs. Wizards
Fri, Jan 16, 2026, 2:25 PM
NBA Injury Report
Domantas Sabonis (knee) is available to play against the Wizards on Friday.
Analysis: It has been two months since Sabonis last played, but he'll make his return to the lineup in this game. He may have his minutes managed, which could result in him coming off the bench in his first game back. However, it will be good to have him back on the floor. He'll eventually push Maxime Raynaud to the bench, which could happen in this game. |

Keon Ellis Keon Ellis (knee) questionable vs. Wizards
Fri, Jan 16, 2026, 10:08 AM
NBA Injury Report
Keon Ellis (knee) is questionable to play against the Wizards on Friday.
Analysis: Ellis is a late addition to the injury report. However, it shouldn't impact the Kings' rotation much if he isn't able to suit up; over their last three games, he's averaged under eight minutes per game. Malik Monk may see a few extra minutes if Ellis is unavailable. |

Domantas Sabonis Shams: Sabonis (knee) expected to play Friday
Fri, Jan 16, 2026, 7:58 AM
Shams Charania
ESPN's Shams Charania reports that Domantas Sabonis (knee) is expected to return on Friday against the Wizards.
Analysis: Sabonis, who has been out since November 16, was a full participant in Thursday's practice. His return affects Maxime Raynaud the most, as the second-round pick has served as the starting center in Sabonis' absence. However, fantasy managers may want to exercise a little patience with the rookie. Sabonis is one of the veteran Kings whose name has been mentioned in trade rumors, and a return to action could kick things up in that regard. |

Domantas Sabonis Domantas Sabonis (knee) practiced fully Thursday
Thu, Jan 15, 2026, 11:19 AM
Sean Cunningham
Domantas Sabonis (knee) was a full participant in Thursday's practice.
Analysis: Sabonis' full participation in Thursday's practice is a clear sign that he's on his way to a return to game action. And that could happen as soon as Friday's game against the Wizards, as he's listed as questionable. While Sabonis will likely be on a minutes restriction, his return will negatively affect the fantasy values of Maxime Raynaud and Precious Achiuwa. While Raynaud is worth holding onto in dynasty leagues, redraft league managers should begin seeking alternatives for Week 14. |

Russell Westbrook Russell Westbrook records 19 points, 11 assists
Wed, Jan 14, 2026, 6:39 PM
Russell Westbrook amassed 19 points (6-of-13 FGs, 5-of-7 FTs), six rebounds, 11 assists and two three-pointers in Wednesday's win over the Knicks.
Analysis: Westbrook recorded his 13th double-double of the season, with the 11 assists being the most he's had in a game since a December 8 loss to the Pacers. Over the past two weeks, he has been close to a top-100 player in eight-cat formats. If there's been an issue for Westbrook recently, it's been his shooting. During these two weeks, he's shooting 41.5 percent from the field. While the inefficiency is expected given the track record, it also keeps Westbrook's fantasy ceiling low. |

Precious Achiuwa Hello old friend: Achiuwa goes for 20/14/2/2/2
Wed, Jan 14, 2026, 6:38 PM
Precious Achiuwa tallied 20 points (7-of-14 FGs, 4-of-7 FTs), 14 rebounds, two assists, two steals, two blocks and two three-pointers in Wednesday's win over the Knicks.
Analysis: Playing against the Knicks for the first time since leaving in free agency over the summer, Achiuwa had his best performance as a King on Wednesday. Recording his third double-double of the season, he tallied season-highs in points and rebounds, finishing with a complete stat line. While Achiuwa has been a fixture in the starting lineup recently, he has barely been a top-150 player over the past two weeks. Fantasy managers should wait to see more from Precious before leaping based on one exemplary performance. |
