Sun, Mar 15, 2026, 10:24 AM
Malik Monk (ankle) is out for Sunday's game against the Jazz.
Analysis: Monk is set to miss his third consecutive game with right ankle soreness. Daeqwon Plowden has played at least 30 minutes in both of Monk's previous absences, making him an option for managers in deeper formats. |

Russell Westbrook Russell Westbrook (foot) out Sunday vs. Jazz
Sun, Mar 15, 2026, 10:21 AM
Russell Westbrook (foot) is out for Sunday's game against the Jazz.
Analysis: Westbrook hasn't been playing back-to-back games since the All-Star break, so it's no surprise the 37-year-old point guard was ruled out for Sunday's game against the Jazz. Killian Hayes recently signed a two-year deal with the Kings and stands to benefit the most from Westbrook's absence. |

Killian Hayes Report: Kings sign Killian Hayes to two-year deal
Sun, Mar 15, 2026, 6:44 AM
Shams Charania
ESPN's Shams Charania reports that the Kings have signed Killian Hayes to a two-year contract.
Analysis: While it's unknown whether the 2026-27 season of Hayes' new deal is guaranteed, at the very least, he will be able to finish out the season with the Kings. His opportunities for the rest of this season will likely depend on Russell Westbrook's availability. When the veteran point guard is available, Hayes has an extremely limited fantasy ceiling. |

Russell Westbrook Russell Westbrook posts 12/12/10/4 line vs. LAC
Sat, Mar 14, 2026, 7:16 PM
Russell Westbrook produced 12 points (4-of-15 FGs, 2-of-4 FTs), 12 rebounds, 10 assists, four steals and two three-pointers in Saturday's win over the Clippers.
Analysis: Westbrook finished Saturday's triple-double with the 209th of his NBA career, but fantasy managers took a hit in the percentages. Since the All-Star break, the veteran point guard has shot 41.4 percent, limiting his category league value. While Westbrook has provided seventh-round value during this stretch, it would be much better if he were more accurate shooting the basketball. With Westbrook not playing both games of a back-to-back since before the All-Star break, he should be considered questionable for Sunday's game against the Jazz. |

Precious Achiuwa Precious Achiuwa records 25 points, 13 rebounds
Sat, Mar 14, 2026, 7:15 PM
Precious Achiuwa amassed 25 points (10-of-14 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), 13 rebounds, one assist, four blocks and three three-pointers in Saturday's win over the Clippers.
Analysis: Achiuwa continues to shine during the silly season, and he has been an excellent option for category league managers. Since the All-Star break, the Kings' forward has provided third-round value in eight-cat formats. Rostered in 36 percent of Yahoo! leagues, Achiuwa is worth adding in 12-team leagues, especially with the Kings hosting the Jazz on Sunday in their final game of Week 20. |

DeMar DeRozan DeMar DeRozan scores team-high 27 points vs. LAC
Sat, Mar 14, 2026, 7:15 PM
DeMar DeRozan finished Saturday's win over the Clippers with 27 points (11-of-14 FGs, 5-of-5 FTs), seven assists and one steal.
Analysis: Sacramento had a field day offensively, especially its top three scorers. DeRozan, Precious Achiuwa and Maxime Raynaud shot a combined 32-of-40 from the field, scoring 75 points. DeRozan led the way with his 27-point effort, and fantasy managers also received solid value in the assist category. As long as the Kings continue to play him starters' minutes, the veteran wing will be a valuable option, especially in points leagues. The Kings play three games in Week 21, starting with the Spurs on Tuesday. |

Malik Monk Malik Monk (ankle) downgraded to out vs. Clippers
Sat, Mar 14, 2026, 10:13 AM
NBA Injury Report
Malik Monk (ankle) is out for Saturday's game against the Clippers.
Analysis: Monk will miss a second straight game with a sore right ankle. For Wednesday's loss ot the Hornets, Daeqwon Plowden played 30 minutes off the bench, and he may be in line for a similar workload against the Clippers. At best, Plowden is worth a look in extremely deep redraft leagues. |

Keegan Murray Keegan Murray (ankle) out at least two more weeks
Fri, Mar 13, 2026, 4:28 PM
James Ham
Keegan Murray (ankle) will be re-evaluated in two weeks.
Analysis: Murray aggravated his sprained left ankle during a February 25 game against the Rockets and has not played since. With the update provided by the Kings on Friday, he's unlikely to be an impact option for fantasy managers again this season. Nique Clifford is as close to a must-add as a player can be going into the silly season, and Precious Achiuwa is also worth a long look in 12-team leagues. Daeqwon Plowden has cracked the rotation, but Clifford and Achiuwa should be the priorities of fantasy managers. |

Drew Eubanks Drew Eubanks (thumb) ruled out vs. Clippers
Fri, Mar 13, 2026, 2:28 PM
NBA Injury Report
Drew Eubanks (thumb) is out for Saturday's game against the Clippers.
Analysis: Eubanks will sit out Saturday's game due to a sore left thumb. His absence frees up playing time for Dylan Cardwell, who is available to make his return from a sprained ankle that sidelined him for nearly a month. |

Russell Westbrook Russell Westbrook (quad) good to go Saturday
Fri, Mar 13, 2026, 9:54 AM
NBA Injury Report
Russell Westbrook (quad) is available for Saturday's matchup with the Clippers, and Malik Monk (ankle) and Devin Carter (calf) are questionable.
Analysis: Westy will return following Wednesday's absence, and he should handle his usual workload. Malik Monk (ankle) and Devin Carter (calf) are both questionable, which should mean more run for Nique Clifford and Killian Hayes. Sacramento plays a Saturday-Sunday back-to-back set, so it wouldn't be surprising for Westbrook to sit out Sunday. |

Precious Achiuwa Precious Achiuwa produces 14 points, eight boards
Wed, Mar 11, 2026, 6:39 PM
Precious Achiuwa tallied 14 points (6-of-11 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), eight rebounds, two assists, one steal and one blocked shot in Wednesday's loss to the Hornets.
Analysis: Achiuwa continues to provide solid value to fantasy managers. Since the All-Star break, the Kings' forward has provided fifth-round value in eight-cat formats. Achiuwa is rostered in 37 percent of Yahoo! leagues, which is too low given his current role and production. With the Kings ending Week 20 with a back-to-back on Saturday and Sunday, Precious is worth the risk in 12-team leagues. |

DeMar DeRozan DeMar DeRozan goes off for game-high 39 points
Wed, Mar 11, 2026, 6:38 PM
DeMar DeRozan accumulated 39 points (17-of-22 FGs, 5-of-5 FTs), four rebounds, six assists, two steals and one blocked shot in Wednesday's loss to the Hornets.
Analysis: DeRozan put on a show against the Hornets, even if it occurred in a defeat. He scored 24 points in the first half, passing Tim Duncan to move into 18th on the NBA's career points list in the process. DeRozan finished with 39 points and played 41 of a possible 48 minutes. Wednesday's defeat officially eliminated the Kings from postseason contention, so the 40-minute nights may not happen for DeRozan moving forward. |

Wed, Mar 11, 2026, 3:35 PM
NBA Lineups
Killian Hayes, Nique Clifford, DeMar DeRozan, Precious Achiuwa and Maxime Raynaud will start Wednesday's game against the Hornets.
Analysis: Russell Westbrook and Devin Carter are out for Wednesday's game, so it's Hayes who will serve as the Kings' starting point guard. The other four starters are unchanged. |

Wed, Mar 11, 2026, 10:13 AM
NBA Injury Report
Malik Monk (ankle) is out for Wednesday's game against the Hornets.
Analysis: Monk exited Tuesday's win over the Pacers with a right ankle injury, and he won't play on Wednesday. Daeqwon Plowden played 31 minutes off the bench, and he may be in line for a similar workload against the Hornets. |

Russell Westbrook Russell Westbrook (quad) ruled out vs. Charlotte
Wed, Mar 11, 2026, 10:08 AM
NBA Injury Report
Russell Westbrook (quad) is out for Wednesday's game against the Hornets.
Analysis: Wednesday's game is the second game in as many nights for the Kings, who beat the Pacers on Tuesday. Even with Westbrook playing just 25 minutes, he won't play against the Hornets. With Devin Carter also out, Nique Clifford should get more time on the ball, and more minutes are available for Killian Hayes. |

Russell Westbrook Westbrook turns in 16/7/9 line vs. Indiana
Tue, Mar 10, 2026, 6:41 PM
Russell Westbrook stuffed the stat sheet on Tuesday with 16 points (5-of-10 FGs), seven rebounds, nine assists and two three-pointers against the Pacers.
Analysis: Westbrook was able to have another solid night, though they opted to close this game out with a younger group, which limited Westbrook's time on the floor to 25 minutes. Though he was impactful during that time, his impact over the final month of the season could be limited at times. However, he played at least 30 minutes in three straight games entering this one, so it may not happen consistently. Still, it is mildly concerning and worth keeping an eye on moving forward. |

Malik Monk Malik Monk (ankle) will not return vs. Indiana
Tue, Mar 10, 2026, 5:23 PM
Jason Anderson
Malik Monk (ankle) will not return to Tuesday's game against the Pacers.
Analysis: Monk sprained his ankle during the first half of Tuesday's game, and he finished with four points (2-of-4 FGs) in 11 minutes. His absence frees up additional minutes for Daeqwon Plowden, who logged 12 first-half minutes. |

DeMar DeRozan DeMar DeRozan (illness) removed from injury report
Mon, Mar 9, 2026, 2:15 PM
NBA Injury Report
DeMar DeRozan (illness) is not on the injury report for Tuesday's game against the Pacers.
Analysis: DeRozan did not play in Sunday's win over the Bulls, with Daeqwon Plowden replacing him in the lineup. While Plowden will remain in the rotation, his short-term fantasy value takes a hit with DeRozan available. |

Malik Monk Malik Monk has 30 points in win over Bulls Sunday
Sun, Mar 8, 2026, 5:45 PM
Malik Monk had 30 points (11-of-24 FGs, 5-of-5 FTs), four rebounds, five assists, one block and three three-pointers in Sunday's win over the Bulls.
Analysis: Monk was excellent off the bench on Sunday as he had 30 points and five assists in the win over the Bulls. The 30 points were a season-high for the 28-year-old guard. Monk is only usable in deep-league fantasy formats. |
