 |  | Sacramento Kings guard Kevin Huerter (illness) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Houston Rockets. He was originally listed as questionable for this game, but will sit out due to a non-COVID related illness. His absence will likely result in Terence Davis moving into the starting five. Malik Monk should remain as the sixth-man, but should probably see more playing time with Huerter sidelined. Both players are worth considering as streaming options for Wednesday's slate. |

|---|---|---|
|  | Sacramento Kings forward Domantas Sabonis (thumb) will be available for Wednesday's game against the Denver Nuggets. The big man has been diagnosed with a thumb fracture, but only ended up missing one game because of it. Sabonis could end up missing more time because of this, but he'll attempt to play through the pain. His return means Alex Len returns to the bench, while Richaun Holmes will have a decreased role. Fantasy managers in season-long formats can get Sabonis back in their lineups for Wednesday. |
Saturday, December 24
| TEAM | PLAYER | TRANSACTION |
|---|---|---|
| | Sacramento Kings forward/center Domantas Sabonis missed the final few minutes of Friday's tilt against Washington with a right-hand injury. Before leaving, he managed to post his second consecutive triple-double with 20 points, 15 rebounds and 10 assists. He became only the third Kings player ever to grab 10-plus rebounds in the first quarter. Sabonis, who suffered from shooting struggles on Friday with a 5-for-14 effort from the field, is also on a run of 10 consecutive double-doubles. It's currently unclear if Sabonis can overcome the injury to continue his streak in the next game. The Kings return to action on Dec. 27. |

|---|---|---|
| | Sacramento Kings center Domantas Sabonis (hand) will play versus the Lakers. The 26-year-old was riding a questionable tag throughout much of Wednesday because of a hand ailment. However, he's good to go. Sabonis is coming off a strong 28-point, 23-rebound outing against the Charlotte Hornets on Monday. Considering L.A. won't have Anthony Davis (foot), Sabonis may do some damage on the fantasy end. |
Wednesday, December 21
| TEAM | PLAYER | TRANSACTION |
|---|---|---|
|  | Sacramento Kings center Domantas Sabonis (hand) and small forward Harrison Barnes (quad) have been deemed questionable to play in Wednesday's game vs. the Lakers. Sabonis logged 41 minutes and a season-high 23 rebounds Monday, so when his malady cropped up is uncertain. Barnes has started every game this season for Sacramento, proving to be a key contributor on the wing. An absence in the frontcourt would pave the way for Chimezie Metu and Richaun Holmes to get added run, while being sidelined on the wing would open up minutes for Terence Davis and Malik Monk. With Sabonis and Barnes playing such integral roles, fantasy managers will want to check back to get a read on the Kings' depth chart. |

|---|---|---|
| | Sacramento Kings forward Harrison Barnes was forced to leave Monday's matchup against Charlotte with a right quadriceps contusion. He was hit in his right quadriceps in the third quarter and ended up logging just 29 minutes of playing time. Barnes had 11 points with three rebounds, three assists and two steals. The team has yet to provide further information on Barnes' status. If he's out for a bit, the Kings will lose one of their starters who averages over 31 minutes per game. Keegan Murray might pick up some of the minutes, and there will also be bigger roles for Malik Monk and Terence Davis off the bench. |

|---|---|---|
| | Sacramento Kings guard Kevin Huerter (ankle) wasn't able to suit up for the team's game on Wednesday due to an ankle injury. His status is still in question heading into their game on Friday against the Detroit Pistons. Against the Toronto Raptors on Wednesday, Terrance Davis received the spot start in place of Huerter and cashed in a solid game. Malik Monk also received more minutes and scored 24 points. Both players would be good streaming options against a tanking Pistons squad if Huerter can't play. |

| TEAM | PLAYER | TRANSACTION |
|---|---|---|
| | Sacramento Kings guard Kevin Huerter (ankle) was ruled out just about 30 minutes before tipoff against the Toronto Raptors on Wednesday. He was originally listed as questionable and will now miss his first game of the season. Terrance Davis will take Huerter's spot in the starting five. Malik Monk will likely see some more time off of the bench as well as Davion Mitchell. The former two names will be safer streaming options since Mitchell's production is never predictable. |
Wednesday, December 14
| TEAM | PLAYER | TRANSACTION |
|---|---|---|
| | Sacramento Kings shooting guard/small forward Kevin Huerter (ankle) has been deemed questionable to suit up for Wednesday's contest against Toronto due to a sore left ankle. Huerter has appeared in all 26 games thus far in 2022-23 for Sacramento, becoming a staple of the starting five in his first season with the franchise. Averaging a career-high 15.3 PPG in that span while shooting 46.8 percent overall and 41 percent from deep, Huerter has played his way into season-long consideration in all-sized formats. An absence from him Wednesday would pave the way for Malik Monk and Terence Davis to see their respective workloads increased on the wing, so fantasy managers will want to check back prior to tip for the final word on Huerter. |
Tuesday, December 13
| TEAM | PLAYER | TRANSACTION |
|---|---|---|
|  | Sacramento Kings guard De'Aaron Fox (foot) is questionable for Tuesday's meeting with Philadelphia. The 24-year-old missed the last two games because of a sore right foot, allowing Davion Mitchell to take his spot in the lineup. Mitchell has averaged eight points and four assists in three starts this season. However, with numbers like that, fantasy managers shouldn't view Mitchell as a viable replacement. |
Monday, December 12
| TEAM | PLAYER | TRANSACTION |
|---|---|---|
| | Sacramento Kings point guard De'Aaron Fox (foot) was able to practice Monday, a step in the right direction after missing the previous two contests due to a sore right foot. Davion Mitchell has stepped into starting duties in Fox's absence, although he has remained a limited contributor despite the increase in minutes. Fox has shot a career-best 50.7 percent overall from the field this season, adding 22.8 points, 5.6 assists and five boards per game as well. There has not yet been an indication as to Fox's availability for Tuesday's game vs. Philly, but it would be a difficult matchup, as the 76ers yield the fewest DFS points per game to opposing point guards per DraftKings' scoring. |
Sunday, December 11
| TEAM | PLAYER | TRANSACTION |
|---|---|---|
| | Sacramento Kings guard De'Aaron Fox (foot) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the New York Knicks. The 24-year-old was unable to play during Friday's game, which resulted in Davion Mitchell moving into the starting five. Mitchell didn't have the best performance against the Cleveland Cavaliers on Friday. Despite that, he'll still be a strong streaming option if Fox is forced to miss his second straight game. |
|  | Sacramento Kings forward Keegan Murray (thumb) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the New York Knicks. It sounds like the rookie avoided serious injury and it's only left thumb soreness. His absence would likely mean KZ Okpala moves into the starting five with Terence Davis (back) questionable as well. Otherwise, Davis would be the streaming option here if he's cleared to play on Sunday. Fantasy managers will have to check back for another update before Sunday's game. |
Friday, December 09
| TEAM | PLAYER | TRANSACTION |
|---|---|---|
| | Sacramento Kings guard De'Aaron Fox (foot) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. The stud guard has been struggling lately, so possibly the right foot soreness is the reason for his problems. That being said, it wouldn't be shocking to see the Kings give him the night off to rest. His absence would likely result in Davion Mitchell moving into the starting five. He hasn't made much of an impact this season, but that is mainly because he doesn't have consistent playing time. He'd be a favorable streaming option if he starts in place of Fox on Friday. |
| | Sacramento Kings guard De'Aaron Fox (foot) is currently considered questionable for Friday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. It's worth noting that Fox has been dealing with this injury for some time and continues to play through the issue. The expectation is that Fox will suit up, but maybe the team will give him the night off to rest. Davion Mitchell would benefit the most in the absence of Fox. He'll be a nice streaming option if Fox does end up sitting out. Fantasy managers will have to check back closer to tip-off, but it seems like Fox is probable to play. |
Sunday, December 04
| TEAM | PLAYER | TRANSACTION |
|---|---|---|
| | Sacramento Kings guard Kevin Huerter (ankle) picked up an injury during Saturday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. The 24-year-old suffered a sprained ankle in the third quarter, but returned to the contest after getting it re-taped. He finished with 12 points, two rebounds, four assists in 30 minutes of action. It sounds like Huerter is fine and should be able to suit up for Sunday's game against the Chicago Bulls. Otherwise, Terence Davis and Malik Monk would be asked to play additional minutes. Between the two, Monk is the much better fantasy option and should be rostered in most formats right now. |
Sunday, November 20
| TEAM | PLAYER | TRANSACTION |
|---|---|---|
|  | Sacramento Kings shooting guard Malik Monk (dental procedure) is questionable for Sunday's contest against Detroit. He had some work done on his teeth and missed Saturday's practice. It remains to be seen if Monk is feeling well enough to play against the Pistons. If not, then he will be dropping out of the lineup right after having his best game of the season. The 24-year-old went for 26 points in Thursday's 130-112 victory over San Antonio. Terence Davis has become a busy man lately and could find himself with more work Sunday if Monk isn't in the lineup, although his stock took a serious hit Thursday when Davis had an opportunity to replace Keegan Murray (back) in the starting unit and he ended up contributing very little on below 30 percent shooting. Murray is expected to be back Sunday as well. |
Friday, November 18
| TEAM | PLAYER | TRANSACTION |
|---|---|---|
|  | Sacramento Kings guard Terence Davis will move into the starting five for Thursday's game against the San Antonio Spurs. He'll replace Keegan Murray (back) who was forced to exit early during their last contest. In his absence, Davis went off for 31 points, nine rebounds, and four assists. He should be a strong streaming option while Murray is on the sideline. |
Thursday, November 17
| TEAM | PLAYER | TRANSACTION |
|---|---|---|
| | Sacramento Kings forward Keegan Murray (back) is deemed questionable for Thursday night's matchup against the Spurs. The rookie exited Tuesday's win over Brooklyn after 12 minutes because of lower back soreness, so it's certainly possible he won't be out there for the meeting with San Antonio. If that's the case, Trey Lyles and Chimezie Metu could see more work, although both men are unpredictable fantasy performers. |
| | Sacramento Kings forward Keegan Murray (back) has been downgraded to doubtful and is not expected to play Thursday versus the Spurs. He exited Tuesday's win over Brooklyn with a back issue and was already questionable for the contest. It's been an unfortunate turn of events for the 22-year-old rookie after he had one the best outing of his young career with 21 points against the Warriors last Sunday. Trey Lyles and Chimezie Metu might see more action than usual with Murray missing, although it was actually Terence Davis who ended up benefitting the most from Murray's exit on Tuesday, exploding for 31 points off the bench. There will be a starter's spot available, and it might even be Malik Monk who gets the trust to play a bigger role. |
Wednesday, November 09
| TEAM | PLAYER | TRANSACTION |
|---|---|---|
| | Sacramento Kings guard Malik Monk (groin) is listed as questionable to play Wednesday against the Cleveland Cavaliers. Monk is currently averaging 19.3 points per game over his past three games, but is dealing with some groin soreness and his status is in question for Wednesday. If Monk is unable to go, Kevin Huerter should see a huge workload while Harrison Barnes and Davion Mitchell see slight increases. |
Wednesday, November 02
| TEAM | PLAYER | TRANSACTION |
|---|---|---|
| | Sacramento Kings guard De'Aaron Fox (knee) won't play on Wednesday versus the Heat. The 24-year-old injured his right knee during Monday's meeting with Charlotte and exited after only nine minutes of action. As a result, Davion Mitchell received some extra work in that one, finishing with 23 points, while Kevin Huerter recorded a team-high 26 points. Fortunately, Fox only suffered a bone bruise, so there's a chance he'll return sooner rather than later. However, Huerter, Mitchell, Keegan Murray, and Domantas Sabonis should all benefit without the team's leading scorer on the floor moving ahead. |
Wednesday, October 19
| TEAM | PLAYER | TRANSACTION |
|---|---|---|
| | Sacramento Kings guard Kevin Huerter (ankle) was a full participant during Tuesday's practice. The 24-year-old is expected to suit up for the season opener on Wednesday. He has been dealing with ankle soreness, but it shouldn't be bad enough to hold him out of this game. Malik Monk would benefit the most, assuming Huerter is unable to play on Wednesday. Otherwise, Huerter should have fairly decent fantasy value in Sacramento, assuming he can stay healthy. |
Sunday, September 11
| TEAM | PLAYER | TRANSACTION |
|---|---|---|
| | Sacramento Kings forward Keegan Murray (wrist) received the green light to resume all basketball activities. The rookie looked good during Summer League in Vegas, averaging 23.3 points, 7.3 rebounds, and 1.3 steals. However, he had wrist surgery in July, causing panic among dynasty managers. Fortunately, Murray should be ready to begin the 2022-23 campaign. With Chet Holmgren (foot) to miss the year, Murray has a stronger chance of becoming this season's Rookie of the Year. Even if he doesn't win the award, he is expected to make an immediate impact, so redraft managers should keep him in mind heading into October. |

|---|---|---|
|  | Point guard Quinn Cook has reportedly signed a one-year contract to join the Sacramento Kings for the 2022-23 season, per Jason Anderson of the Sacramento Bee. The 29-year-old has been well traveled since first joining the league in '16, with the Kings set to be his sixth professional franchise with whom he appears. Cook played part of last season for Lokomotiv Kuban in Russia, before signing on with the G League in February. A two-time NBA champion from his days with the Warriors and Lakers, Cook has averaged 6.4 points across 14.1 minutes per game throughout his career. With De'Aaron Fox and Davion Mitchell set to handle the vast majority of point guard duties, Cook is merely a depth piece for the Kings as they attempt to return to the postseason for the first time since 2005-06. |
