Malik Monk - Explodes for season-high 33 points Monk notched 33 points (12-21 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 5-6 FT), two rebounds, three assists and one steal across 30 minutes during Wednesday's 127-126 victory over Denver.
Impact Monk was tremendous in the victory, popping for a season-high 33 points. After failing to score more than 16 points in five straight games, this was a welcome sight for anyone patient enough to sit tight. His role is relatively secure, despite him coming off the bench, making him a viable target in 12-team leagues, especially for anyone in need of points and triples.

Keegan Murray - Emphatically unsatisfying in win Murray registered five points (2-7 FG, 1-5 3Pt), two rebounds and one assist across 21 minutes during Wednesday's 127-126 win over the Nuggets.
Impact Murray struggled again in the win, continuing what has been an underwhelming rookie campaign thus far. Despite being a standout during both Summer League and the preseason, it's been nothing but low points for Murray. He currently sits outside the top 150, providing very little other than some three-point upside. Of course, he will be better than this as we move through his career but for now, he is a tough player to hold outside of deeper formats. He's managed just 19 points total over his last three outings.
DECEMBER 29, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Domantas Sabonis - Domintes in Wednesday's return Sabonis ended Wednesday's 127-126 win over Denver with 31 points (12-18 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 5-8 FT), 10 rebounds, five assists, one block and one steal in 38 minutes.
Impact Sabonis picked right up where he left off, guiding the Kings to a narrow victory over the short-handed Nuggets. Despite playing with a finger injury, Sabonis has gone on record to say that he will attempt to stay on the court as much as possible. Given his recent play, managers have to be thrilled that he won't be sidelined for significant periods, although sporadic absences could certainly be upcoming.

Alex Len - Returns to bench Wednesday Len isn't in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game versus the Nuggets.
Impact Domantas Sabonis will replace Len in the starting five Wednesday after missing Tuesday's contest with a thumb injury. The 29-year-old big man may be entirely out of the rotation, as he is averaging only 4.3 minutes across nine games this season.
DECEMBER 29, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Domantas Sabonis - Good to go Wednesday Sabonis (thumb) is available for Wednesday's game against the Nuggets, Jason Anderson of The Sacramento Bee reports.
Impact Sabonis will play with his right thumb fracture after missing Tuesday's game. The star big man will be without a minutes restriction.
DECEMBER 29, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Harrison Barnes - Offers complementary production Barnes finished Tuesday's 113-106 loss to the Nuggets with 13 points (5-11 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), eight rebounds, one assist and one steal in 33 minutes.
Impact At least for one game, Barnes didn't benefit much from the absence of Domantas Sabonis (thumb). Barnes' 16.2 percent usage rate on the night was roughly in line with his season-long rate (16.8 percent), and he grabbed only a couple more extra boards than he typically does (5.5 per game). Sabonis is listed as questionable for Wednesday's rematch with Denver and doesn't seem likely to miss much additional time even if he ends up sitting a second straight game, so Barnes' fantasy outlook should remain fairly stable moving forward.
DECEMBER 28, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Domantas Sabonis - Questionable Wednesday Sabonis (thumb) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Nuggets.
Impact Sabonis was unavailable Tuesday against Denver due to a right thumb avulsion fracture, but he'll be in the mix to return for the second half of the back-to-back set. If he could return, he'd provide a significant boost to the Kings, as he's posted double-doubles in each of his last 10 appearances.

Nuggets take on the Kings, aim for 6th straight win

Denver is looking to build upon its five-game win streak with a victory over Sacramento

Kevin Huerter - Strong shooting continues in loss Huerter provided 21 points (8-14 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, one assist and two steals in 37 minutes during Tuesday's 113-106 loss to Denver.
Impact Huerter shot at least 50 percent from the floor for the fourth time in his last five games, turning things around after a lean period earlier in the month. After a red-hot start to the season, he has now settled in to be the 92nd-ranked player in standard formats. While his upside is somewhat capped, his role is set in stone, and given the Kings will be doing everything in their power to make the playoffs, he should be a solid top-100 asset ROS.
DECEMBER 28, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Trey Lyles - Sneaky double-double Tuesday Lyles provided 11 points (4-10 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 10 rebounds and one assist in 24 minutes during Tuesday's 113-106 loss to the Nuggets.
Impact Lyles logged at least 23 minutes for the second straight game, notching his first double-double of the season. While Alex Len was inserted into the starting lineup, it was Lyles who stepped up for the Kings. He has now also scored in double-digits in two consecutive games, placing him on the radar in deeper formats, at least until Domantas Sabonis returns from his finger injury.
DECEMBER 28, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Alex Len - Flops in Tuesday's spot start Len closed with two points (0-1 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT) and four rebounds across 14 minutes during Tuesday's 113-106 loss to Denver.
Impact Len was given the starting nod after Domantas Sabonis was ruled out due to his finger injury but managed just 14 minutes. In reality, Len was a starter by name only, affording the majority of the minutes to Richaun Holmes and Trey Lyles. Based on this performance, Len can safely be sent back to the fantasy waiver wire.
