Davion Mitchell - Career-high seven assistsMitchell ended with 16 points (7-12 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 0-1 FT), four rebounds, seven assists and four steals over 28 minutes during Sunday's 118-112 loss to the Rockets.
ImpactThe rookie was thoroughly impactful despite the Kings' loss. He racked up a team-high seven assists, four steals and his first double-digit scoring game since Jan. 2. The crowded Sacramento backcourt makes the 23-year-old Mitchell an odd man out, but with Tyrese Haliburton entering COVID-19 protocols Sunday, Mitchell is streamable in deeper leagues over the next week.

Buddy Hield - Explodes in lossHield finished Sunday's 118-112 loss to Houston with 27 points (9-16 FG, 5-9 3Pt, 4-5 FT), five rebounds, two assists and four steals in 30 minutes.
ImpactHield was active defensively and looked comfortable in his sixth man role. While it isn't clear if he'll remain there while Tyrese Haliburton (COVID-19 protocols) is absent, shareholders should be encouraged by Sunday's performance. After a tough December, Hield has rallied across nine January contests, averaging 16.0 points, 4.9 rebounds and 1.0 steals per game on a 42.9/44.3/86.7 slash line.
