Jason Anderson
Keegan Murray (thumb) is expected to make his season debut against the Grizzlies on Thursday.
Analysis: This means Murray will miss Wednesday's game against the Thunder. He was assigned to the G League on Monday to continue his rehab, and now he's expected to make his return. Keon Ellis started on Monday, but he should return to a reserve role with Murray back. Sacramento's starting lineup has undergone a few changes recently, but Murray should be locked in as a starter. |

Domantas Sabonis Domantas Sabonis (knee) ruled out vs. OKC
Tue, Nov 18, 2025, 11:42 AM
NBA Injury Report
Domantas Sabonis (knee) has been ruled out against the Thunder on Wednesday.
Analysis: Sabonis had been playing through a rib injury, but it's now his left knee that's giving him trouble. Drew Eubanks should start in his place, with Precious Achiuwa and Maxime Raynaud filling in a few minutes off the bench. Hopefully this is just a one-game absence for Sabonis, but if he misses more time, Eubanks would be worth adding. |

G League Transactions
Keegan Murray (thumb) has been assigned to the Stockton Kings of the G League.
Analysis: Murray - who has yet to make his season debut - is taking the next step in his rehab with this assignment, and a return to action should be on the horizon. Until Murray is given the green light, Russell Westbrook should continue to see elevated usage. |

DeMar DeRozan DeRozan scores team-high 27 in loss to Spurs
Sun, Nov 16, 2025, 1:08 PM
DeMar DeRozan amassed 27 points (12-of-15 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), two rebounds, four assists and two steals over 39 minutes during Sunday's loss to the Spurs.
Analysis: It was more of the same from DeRozan in this one as 14 of his 15 shot attempts came from inside the three-point line, but the Kings dropped their sixth consecutive game despite San Antonio missing superstar Victor Wembanyama (calf). The 36-year-old veteran remains an efficient scorer, but doesn't offer much else for fantasy purposes at this stage of his career. The Kings are on the road for three challenging games against the Thunder, Grizzlies and Nuggets this upcoming week. |

Domantas Sabonis Sabonis records 17/13/5/3 line in loss to Spurs
Sun, Nov 16, 2025, 1:07 PM
Domantas Sabonis tallied 17 points (7-of-14 FGs, 3-of-4 FTs), 13 rebounds, five assists and three steals over 36 minutes in Sunday's loss to the Spurs.
Analysis: Sabonis, who has been playing through a lingering rib issue, continues to be a double-double machine and one of the league's premier rebounders, with his 12.3 boards per game ranking fourth in the entire NBA. He recorded his ninth double-double in 11 games this season, but it wasn't enough as Sacramento allowed San Antonio to shoot 54 percent from the field and dropped its sixth straight contest. |

Dennis Schroder Schröder drops 22 off the bench in loss to Spurs
Sun, Nov 16, 2025, 1:05 PM
Dennis Schröder notched 22 points (8-of-13 FGs, 1-of-1 FTs), six rebounds, five assists and one steal over 35 minutes during Sunday's loss to the Spurs.
Analysis: Schröder came within two points of matching his previous season-high mark in this one. The 32-year-old journeyman guard would make plenty of sense as a trade candidate if Sacramento falls out of playoff contention, but he doesn't offer much fantasy appeal as a role player off the bench. |

Precious Achiuwa Precious Achiuwa (illness) to play Sunday vs. SAS
Sun, Nov 16, 2025, 9:05 AM
Precious Achiuwa (illness) is available for Sunday's game against the Spurs.
Analysis: Achiuwa is available for Sunday's game against the Spurs despite being listed as questionable with an illness. The 26-year-old power forward will be in the starting lineup alongside Domantas Sabonis. |

Precious Achiuwa Precious Achiuwa (illness) questionable vs. Spurs
Sat, Nov 15, 2025, 12:52 PM
NBA Injury Report
Precious Achiuwa (illness) is questionable to play against the Spurs on Sunday.
Analysis: Achiuwa has been starting lately for Sacramento, but if he isn't available, Nique Clifford should slide into the starting lineup. There's also a chance Kings coach Doug Christie rolls out a smaller starting unit, which could mean Keon Ellis gets the starting nod. |

Domantas Sabonis Sabonis (ribs) questionable vs. San Antonio
Sat, Nov 15, 2025, 12:46 PM
NBA Injury Report
Domantas Sabonis (ribs) is questionable to play against the Spurs on Sunday.
Analysis: Sabonis is questionable once again, but he has been able to play through the rib injury in four straight games. If something changes, Drew Eubanks should make a return to the starting unit, where he'll have limited upside as a streaming option. |

Zach LaVine LaVine (thigh) scores 25 points in return
Fri, Nov 14, 2025, 5:38 PM
Zach LaVine lit up the Timberwolves with 25 points (8-of-17 FGs), six rebounds, three assists, one steal, one block and four three-pointers on Friday.
Analysis: After missing Wednesday's blowout loss to the Hawks, LaVine was back in the lineup. That wasn't enough for them to get the win, but he was able to have a strong performance. LaVine has cooled off after a scorching hot start to the season, but in 11 appearances, he has scored at least 25 points seven times. Lavine will continue to be a focal point on offense for them, so there should be plenty more performances like this one in the future. |

Russell Westbrook Westbrook reaches 10k assists, posts triple-double
Fri, Nov 14, 2025, 5:34 PM
Sacramento Kings
Russell Westbrook recorded a triple-double on Friday with 13 points (5-of-11 FGs), 10 rebounds, 14 assists, two three-pointers and six turnovers against the Timberwolves.
Analysis: This was a historic night for Russ as he became the eighth player in NBA history to reach 10,000 assists. He also joined LeBron James as the only players to reach 25,000 points and 10,000 assists. He also recorded his second triple-double of the season and set a new season-high for dimes. It wasn't enough to end the Kings' losing streak, but it was a strong performance in his first game as their starting point guard. Westbrook should be rostered in standard leagues if you can deal with the inefficiencies. |

Dennis Schroder Schroder chips in 14/6/6/1 line off bench
Fri, Nov 14, 2025, 5:29 PM
Dennis Schroder provided a boost off the bench with 14 points (5-of-13 FGs), six rebounds, six assists, one steal and two three-pointers on Friday against the Timberwolves.
Analysis: Following a fourth straight home loss, Kings coach Doug Christie was clearly frustrated with his squad's effort and discussed the possibility of making changes to the starting lineup. The lone change was moving Schroder to the bench, and he responded with a strong performance. That was great to see, but a move to the bench is still a bad thing for his upside in fantasy hoops. Schroder has struggled this year and shouldn't be considered a must-roster player at this point. |

Domantas Sabonis Sabonis records 34/11 double-double in loss
Fri, Nov 14, 2025, 5:26 PM
Domantas Sabonis led the Kings with 34 points (14-of-24 FGs), 11 rebounds, three assists, one block and one three-pointer in a 124-110 loss to the Timberwolves on Friday.
Analysis: Sabonis wasn't able to help the Kings end their losing streak, but he had been struggling over their last few games, so it was good to see him get back on track in this one. After recording a double-double in his first seven games of the season, he had gone two straight without one, though that didn't continue in this game. He also set a new season-high for scoring. Up next for Sabonis and the Kings is a matchup with the Spurs on Sunday to close out the week. |

Russell Westbrook SAC starting Russ, LaVine, DeMar, Achiuwa, Sabonis
Fri, Nov 14, 2025, 1:42 PM
Matt George
Russell Westbrook, Zach LaVine, DeMar DeRozan, Precious Achiuwa and Domantas Sabonis will start against the Timberwolves on Friday.
Analysis: LaVine is back after a one-game absence, so the lone lineup change from Sacramento's last game is that Dennis Schroder will come off the bench. Westbrook remains a starter, where he has been productive in fantasy hoops, but that will be the extent of the changes to the starting unit. |

Malik Monk Malik Monk (ankle) available vs. Minnesota
Fri, Nov 14, 2025, 1:08 PM
Matt George
Malik Monk (ankle) is available to play against the Timberwolves on Friday.
Analysis: Monk will be back after a one-game absence against Atlanta on Wednesday. He should return to playing his typical large role off the bench, though the rotation could look a little different. Dennis Schroder will reportedly come off the bench, which will limit Monk's usage. |

Domantas Sabonis Domantas Sabonis (ribs) available vs. Minnesota
Fri, Nov 14, 2025, 1:04 PM
Matt George
Domantas Sabonis (ribs) is available to play against the Timberwolves on Friday.
Analysis: Sabonis was initially listed as questionable, but he'll be good to go against Minnesota. Barring a dramatic change by head coach Doug Christie, Sabonis should occupy his typical spot in the starting unit, where he'll look to bounce back after a disastrous performance by the entire team on Wednesday. |

Malik Monk Malik Monk (ankle) questionable vs. Minnesota
Thu, Nov 13, 2025, 12:49 PM
NBA Injury Report
Malik Monk (ankle) is questionable to play against the Timberwolves on Friday.
Analysis: Monk missed Sacramento's last game and could miss a second straight outing. Kings coach Doug Christie discussed switching up the starters, so if Monk plays, that could mean he bumps into the opening group. His absence should lead to more minutes for Keon Ellis, Russell Westbrook and Nique Clifford. |

Domantas Sabonis Domantas Sabonis (ribs) questionable vs. Minnesota
Thu, Nov 13, 2025, 12:45 PM
NBA Injury Report
Domantas Sabonis (ribs) is questionable to play against the Timberwolves on Friday.
Analysis: Sabonis is still dealing with a rib injury, but he has played through it the last three games. Despite Kings coach Doug Christie promising to change the starting lineup, Sabonis' role is likely safe. If he's unavailable, Maxime Raynaud and Drew Eubanks will take on larger roles. |

Zach LaVine Zach LaVine (thigh) off injury report vs. Wolves
Thu, Nov 13, 2025, 12:41 PM
NBA Injury Report
Zach LaVine (thigh) is not on the injury report for Friday's game against the Timberwolves.
Analysis: LaVine will be back after a one-game absence. Russell Westbrook started in his place, but Kings coach Doug Christie made it clear that there will be changes to the starting lineup. LaVine will presumably start, but who will be there alongside him is unclear. |

Domantas Sabonis Domantas Sabonis scores 12 points in loss to Hawks
Wed, Nov 12, 2025, 8:00 PM
Domantas Sabonis produced 12 points (4-of-9 FGs, 4-of-4 FTs), five rebounds, two assists and two steals in the loss to the Hawks on Wednesday.
Analysis: Sabonis was one of several Kings players to have a rough night on Wednesday against Atlanta. Sabonis' performance was one of the better, though ??" he led all starters in scoring and was the only starter to collect multiple steals. Still, he failed to make an impact on the glass, and the overall production was very insignificant for the veteran center, whose scoring has slipped to begin this season. |
