Hits six threes in loss Holiday racked up 18 points (6-12 FG, 6-11 3Pt), two rebounds, one assist and two blocks across 37 minutes during Wednesday's loss to the Bulls.

Impact Holiday shot well Wednesday, hitting six of 11 three pointers to mark his second-highest three-point total of the season. After being traded to Sacramento at the trade deadline, this was the 32-year-old's first solid outing with his new team, as he had averaged just 8.3 points while shooting just 29 percent from the field in his first three appearances with the Kings. Holiday will now look forward to continuing this level of production after the All-Star break.

Nears triple-double in loss Sabonis accumulated 22 points (10-15 FG, 2-2 FT), 12 rebounds, eight assists and two steals over 37 minutes during Wednesday's loss to the Bulls.

Impact After a disappointing nine-point game Monday, Sabonis had an incredible comeback performance, ending just two assists shy of a triple-double. The 25-year-old is now averaging 17.3 points, 11.5 rebounds and 5.5 assists through his first four games with the Kings. As All-Star Weekend has arrived, Sabonis now has a full week to further settle in with his new team.

Nearly notches double-double Fox accumulated 33 points (14-26 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 3-4 FT), six rebounds, nine assists and two steals in 41 minutes during Wednesday's loss to Chicago.

Impact Fox showed up on the offensive end Wednesday, scoring 33 points, which marked his highest scoring total since Dec. 8. His playmaking was also a huge factor, as his nine assists were his best assist total since Nov. 15. The 24-year-old is now averaging 28.2 points, 5.0 rebounds and 5.0 assists in the five games since he returned from an ankle injury. Fox will now look to continue this level of production after the All-Star break.

Ruled out Wednesday Lamb (ankle) won't play in Wednesday's game against the Bulls, Sean Cunningham of ABC 10 Sacramento reports.

Impact Lamb will miss a third consecutive game as he continues to deal with left ankle soreness. He'll have some time to recover over the All-Star break before retaking the court for the second half of the season.

Out Wednesday Mitchell (hand) is out Wednesday against the Bulls, Jason Anderson of The Sacramento Bee reports.

Impact The rookie is missing his first game since Dec. 28, and we won't see him again until after the All-Star break. His absence could open up minutes for Donte DiVincenzo, Josh Jackson and other guards.

Questionable Wednesday Mitchell is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Bulls due to right hand soreness.

Impact Mitchell has come off the bench in each of the last three games but has scored in double figures in two of those appearances. If he's unavailable Wednesday, Donte DiVincenzo and Josh Jackson should see increased run.

Questionable Wednesday Lamb (ankle) is questionable for Wednesday's matchup against the Bulls.

Impact Lamb has missed the past two games, and if he sits out Wednesday, we won't see him again until after the All-Star break. In his one appearance with the Kings, he posted 14 points, six rebounds, five assists and two blocks in 31 minutes.

Gets three minutes in team debut Jackson (back) missed both of his field-goal attempts and committed a turnover in three minutes of court time Monday in the Kings' 109-85 loss to the Nets.

Impact While he was a member of the Pistons, Jackson had missed time with a back injury before the Kings acquired him Thursday in a four-team deal. Upon reporting to Sacramento, Jackson was able to pass a physical and was cleared to play in advance of the Kings' previous game Saturday, but it wasn't until Monday that he made his team debut. Jackson only saw garbage-time run in the blowout loss and doesn't look like he'll be part of the Sacramento rotation.

Vanishes in loss Harkless posted one point (0-2 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-2 FT) and two rebounds across 18 minutes during Monday's 109-85 loss to Brooklyn.

Impact Harkless entered Monday averaging 13.8 points on 56.8 percent shooting over five contests in January, but he lost all semblance of being a productive contributor against Brooklyn. Monday can serve as a reminder to temper expectations for the 28-year-old, who is averaging 5.2 points and 2.6 rebounds across 39 appearances this season.

Makes versatile contributions DiVincenzo produced 12 points (4-11 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), eight rebounds, two assists and five steals across 27 minutes during Monday's 109-85 loss to the Nets.

Impact In recording five steals, DiVincenzo matched his career high. He supplemented the defensive effort with strong rebounding and his first double-digit scoring effort as a King. He led Sacramento in minutes off the bench and appears in line to co-lead the second unit with Davion Mitchell.

Outplayed by Drummond Sabonis supplied nine points (4-11 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 1-3 FT), nine rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal in 26 minutes during Monday's 109-85 loss to Brooklyn. He also had thre...

Impact Sabonis connected on under half his shots for just the third time across his past 15 games. Monday's lack of production is an outlier, but Sacramento being thoroughly outplayed by Seth Curry and Brooklyn's backup options is symbolic of the team's poor play. It's a factor that will likely add volatility to Sabonis' day-to-day production.

FEBRUARY 15, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Shows out in loss Fox produced 26 points (9-18 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 6-7 FT), two rebounds and three assists in 33 minutes during Monday's 109-85 loss to Brooklyn.

Impact Fox logged a minus-21 in the box score, but he carried Sacramento offensively and was efficient in doing so. His teammates combined to shoot just 30.1 percent from the field and an equally subpar 23.3 percent from deep. On deck Wednesday, Fox will duel with DeMar DeRozan in a battle of red-hot scorers
