Intends to play Friday DeRozan (back) intends to play in Friday's game versus the Lakers, NBA reporter Chris Haynes reports.

Impact DeRozan has missed Sacramento's last three contests due to a back injury but appears close to returning to action. However, fantasy managers should look out for an official injury report to clarify DeRozan's status ahead of Friday's game.

Fouls out in 22 minutes Murray amassed seven points (3-9 FG, 1-3 3Pt), seven rebounds, one assist and two steals across 22 minutes before fouling out of Monday's 109-108 loss to the Hawks.

Impact Murray saw a season-low 22 minutes as a result of fouling out in the loss. He's had a tough season for the most part, particularly with his perimeter shooting. Through 15 regular-season games, he's hitting just 29.9 percent from beyond the arc.

Extends impressive streak Fox amassed 28 points (11-23 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 3-4 FT), five rebounds, seven assists and one steal across 39 minutes during Monday's 109-108 loss to Atlanta.

Impact Fox has surpassed the 20-point mark in all but two of his appearances this season, and the star floor general has been one of the hottest players in the league in recent days thanks to four consecutive appearances with 28 or more points. During that stretch, Fox is averaging 41.5 points per game while shooting 57.1 percent from the field on 26.3 attempts per game. That's not sustainable in the long run, but the Kings should continue to ride Fox's hot hand with DeMar DeRozan (back) and Domantas Sabonis (back) sidelined.

Records double-double in loss Lyles finished Monday's 109-108 loss to the Hawks with 12 points (4-11 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 1-2 FT), 10 rebounds, four assists and one steal across 38 minutes.

Impact Lyles has started in the Kings' last two games with Domantas Sabonis (back) sidelined, and he's responded with back-to-back double-digit scoring efforts. He's been a good filler in the Kings' starting lineup, but his fantasy upside will last only while he's playing as a starter. It's uncertain if that will happen again when the Kings take on the Clippers on Friday.

Scores career-high 33 points Ellis chipped in 33 points (9-17 FG, 9-15 3Pt, 6-7 FT), six rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal across 33 minutes during Monday's 109-108 loss to the Hawks.

Impact Ellis pulverized his previous career-high scoring mark and looked impressive off the bench in this game despite the fact the Kings suffered a one-point defeat. This performance came out of nowhere, though, as Ellis was averaging just 5.9 points per game since the beginning of November entering Monday's eight-game slate. Thus, fantasy managers shouldn't go crazy picking up Ellis from waivers. He's expected to remain a bench option and not much else for the Kings going forward.

Returning to starting five Len is starting Monday's game against the Hawks, Frankie Cartoscelli of KHTK Sactown Sports 1140 reports.

Impact Len will join the first unit for the second time in three games while Domantas Sabonis (back) and DeMar DeRozan (back) continue to work their way back from injuries. Len started Friday night's game against the Timberwolves but finished with only two points and one rebound in nine minutes.

Impact Alex Len will enter the starting lineup with McDermott retreating to the second unit. The 32-year-old forward has carved out a decent role with the club this year, and in his last five outings he has averaged 4.4 points and 1.4 rebounds across 14.8 minutes per game (one start).

Impact This is great news for the veteran forward, as it sounds like a return is possible for Friday's game against the Clippers if all goes well over the next few days. DeRozan's absence hasn't been particularly long, so he shouldn't need too much time to ramp back up. The team should have more information to share on the 35-year-old's availability closer to Friday's matchup.

Cleared for individual work Monk (ankle) has been cleared to participate in individual on-court workouts, Law Murray of The Athletic reports.

Impact Monk has been sidelined for the Kings' last four games after spraining his right ankle against the Suns on Nov. 10. He'll progress to individual workouts, and his next step will be to return to team drills and 5-on-5 work. In the nine games prior to his injury, Monk had averaged 13.6 points, 3.0 rebounds and 2.9 assists over 26.9 minutes per game.

Won't play Monday Sabonis (back) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Hawks, Sean Cunningham of Fox 40 Sacramento reports.

Impact Sabonis will miss his second consecutive outing due to lower back tightness, though he has been cleared for individual on-court activities and is nearing a return, according to Jason Anderson of The Sacramento Bee. Trey Lyles and Alex Len are both candidates for an increased role until Sabonis is able to come back. The star big man's next chance to suit up will come Friday against the Clippers.
