Impact Fox missed Friday's matchup against Boston due to his hand injury, but he'll have a chance to return Sunday. If he remains out, Davion Mitchell and Donte DiVincenzo will likely see additional run once again.

Questionable Sunday Fox (hand) is questionable for Sunday's game against Phoenix.
Scores 12 in start Mitchell accumulated 12 points (5-14 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 1-2 FT), one rebound, two assists, one block and one steal in 35 minutes during Friday's 126-97 loss to the Celtics.
Impact The rookie got the start with De'Aaron Fox (hand) sidelined, and while he saw his most minutes in well over a month, it wasn't a banner night. Still, Mitchell has now scored in double figures in four straight games, and he's shooting an encouraging 49.1 percent from the floor during that span.

Offers little in 24 minutes Barnes closed with zero points (0-5 FG, 0-2 3Pt), two rebounds and one assist over 24 minutes during Friday's 126-97 loss to the Celtics.
Impact Barnes did his best Tony Snell impression in 24 minutes of action, taking just five shots and offering little in terms of supporting stats. Barnes has been in a slump of late, totaling just 16 points, 11 rebounds, eight assists, three blocks and one steal over his last three games combined (83 minutes).

Puts up 30-20-5 in losing effort Sabonis racked up 30 points (12-20 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 5-7 FT), 20 rebounds, five assists, one block and one steal over 37 minutes during Friday's 126-97 loss to the Celtics.
Impact With no De'Aaron Fox (hand), Sabonis took matters into his own hands as the clear No. 1 option for the Kings. While Sacramento hasn't exactly been winning more games since the big man arrived via trade, his production has been impressive. Over his last 14 games, Sabonis is posting 18.9 points, 12.4 rebounds, 5.8 assists and shooting 55.2 percent from the field.

Starting for injured Fox Mitchell is starting Friday's game against the Celtics, Jared Weiss of The Athletic reports.
Impact The 23-year-old will make his first start since Feb. 8 with De'Aaron Fox (hand) unavailable against Boston. Mitchell has scored in double figures in four of his last five appearances.
MARCH 19, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Officially out Friday Fox (hand) is out Friday against Boston, Jared Weiss of The Athletic reports.
Impact Fox was considered unlikely to suit up against the Celtics, and he'll officially be unavailable for at least one game due to his right hand injury. Davion Mitchell will draw the start.

Unlikely to play Friday Fox (hand) is unlikely to play Friday against the Celtics, James Ham of ESPN 1320 Sacramento reports.
Impact Fox underwent an X-ray on his right hand Friday that revealed encouraging results, but he'll likely sit out at least one game. However, the issue isn't considered season-ending, so he should be considered day-to-day if he's ultimately ruled out against Boston.

Ruled out for season Holmes has been ruled out for the remainder of the season due to personal reasons, Brenden Nunes of The Sacramento Bee reports.
Impact Holmes logged double-digit minutes in each of his appearances for the Kings this season, but he'll be unavailable for the final few weeks of the year. During his third season with Sacramento, the 28-year-old averaged 10.4 points and 7.0 rebounds in 23.9 minutes per game. Damian Jones, Trey Lyles and Alex Len are in line for additional run down the stretch.

Out Friday Lamb (personal) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Celtics.
Impact Lamb will miss a third consecutive game as he tends to a personal matter. His next chance to return will come Sunday against the Suns.

Questionable for Friday Fox is questionable for Friday's game against the Celtics due to a right hand injury.
Impact It appears Fox picked up a hand injury some time during Wednesday's loss to the Bucks, so it's unclear if he'll be available when the Kings host the Celtics on Friday. Fox hasn't missed a game since Feb. 5, but if he ultimately can't go, Davion Mitchell would likely draw the start at point guard.

Tatum, Boston set for matchup with Sacramento
Jayson Tatum leads Boston into a matchup against Sacramento averaging 26.7 points per gameMARCH 17, 2022 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Leads squad with 22 points Sabonis finished with 22 points (6-13 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 10-13 FT), five rebounds, seven assists, one block and one steal over 39 minutes during Wednesday's 135-126 loss to the Bucks.
Impact Sabonis did much of his damage from the free-throw line, knocking down 10 shots in 13 attempts. He also tied for the team lead with seven assists, though he was uncharacteristically quiet on the boards, finishing with his lowest rebound total since Dec. 21. Defensive stats aside, Sabonis can typically be counted on for contributions across the board, as he is averaging 18.1 points, 11.8 rebounds and 5.8 dimes in 13 games with Sacramento.

Posts 19 points Wednesday Mitchell amassed 19 points (8-13 FG, 3-7 3Pt), three rebounds, four assists and one steal over 30 minutes during Wednesday's 135-126 loss to the Bucks.
Impact Mitchell finished with his highest point total since Feb. 3, shooting an efficient 8-for-13 from the field and draining a trio of three-pointers. The rookie guard has picked up his scoring of late, notching double-digit points in four of five contests after failing to do so in five of his previous six games. Mitchell is averaging 10.2 points, 3.3 assists, 2.2 boards and 1.3 three-pointers on the season.
MARCH 17, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Cools down against Bucks Fox posted 21 points (8-23 FG, 3-11 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, seven assists and two steals over 37 minutes during Wednesday's 135-126 loss to the Bucks.
Impact Fox entered the contest having averaged 35.0 points on 52.7 percent shooting over his past five games, but he struggled to find the bottom of the net Wednesday. The star point guard finished with his lowest point total since Feb. 24 and converted just eight of 23 field-goal attempts. He did chip in a healthy number of assists, boards and steals, however, so he was far from useless for fantasy managers who roster him. Fox will face another tough matchup when the Kings host the Celtics on Friday.

Moves back to bench DiVincenzo will come off the bench Wednesday against the Bucks, Jason Anderson of The Sacramento Bee reports.
Impact DiVincenzo had 15 points, seven rebounds, four assists and one steal in a spot start Monday against the Bulls, but he'll head back to the bench with Justin Holiday (illness) back in the lineup. Divencenzo should still be involved as a reserve against his former team Wednesday.
MARCH 17, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Out again Wednesday Lamb (personal) is out Wednesday against the Bucks.
Impact Lamb will miss a second straight game due to a personal matter. His next chance to play arrives Friday against the Celtics.
MARCH 16, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Off injury report Holiday (illness) is off the injury report for Wednesday's game against the Bucks.
Impact Holiday will return to the lineup following a one-game absence. He'll presumably maintain a low-usage role. He's scored in double figures just once in his past seven appearances.

Solid in starting role DiVincenzo recorded 15 points (4-9 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 4-4 FT), seven rebounds, four assists and one steal across 35 minutes during Monday's 112-103 victory over the Bulls.
Impact DiVincenzo made his first start as a King due to Justin Holiday's (illness) absence. Although he's a bit buried in the depth chart, the Kings have little to play for since they are likely out of the playoff hunt. Teams out of the running usually dig deeper into their rosters to see what talent they have moving forward, so DiVencezo could benefit in the closing weeks.

Grabs team-high 11 rebounds Lyles posted nine points (3-4 FG, 3-4 FT), 11 rebounds and one assist across 24 minutes during Monday's 112-103 victory over the Bulls.
Impact Lyles is now a fixture in the starting lineup, and he's putting up great defensive numbers with the change of scenery. The one-two punch of Lyles and Domantas Sabonis will have solid fantasy value in the closing weeks of the season.
