Harrison Barnes - Solid as ever in preseason victory Barnes totaled 11 points (5-11 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 0-1 FT), five rebounds, two assists and one steal in 24 minutes during Sunday's win over Portland.
Impact Barnes remains arguably the most boring fantasy asset available, and yet he continues to chug along, putting up top-100 value. He is slated to begin the season as the starting power forward, a role that will likely afford him sufficient minutes in which to remain relevant. That role could change down the stretch, especially if the Kings fall out of playoff contention sooner rather than later. Until that point, he should be viewed as a high-floor, low-ceiling target in the later rounds of drafts.

Terence Davis - Scores 14 points in 11 minutes Davis finished with 14 points (5-8 FG, 4-5 3Pt), four assists, three rebounds, one steal and one block in just 11 minutes during Sunday's 126-94 victory over the Trail Blazers.
Impact Despite playing limited minutes, Davis reminded everyone just what he is capable of when on the floor. After showing flashes of production last season, his campaign was derailed by a wrist injury, something that is now well and truly in the rearview mirror. He will be battling the likes of Malik Monk and Davion Mitchell for playing time, but should a larger role present itself, Davis could make for a sneaky addition at some point during the season.

Keegan Murray - Paces Kings in preseason win Murray ended with 16 points (5-6 FG, 5-6 3Pt, 1-2 FT), three rebounds, two steals, one assist and one block in 23 minutes during Sunday's preseason win over the Trail Blazers.
Impact Murray continues to shine for the Kings, pacing the team with 16 points. His trajectory is pointing firmly in the right direction and despite the fact he may very well come off the bench, his fantasy outlook is bright. The strong play has come on both ends of the floor, resulting in his ADP slowly creeping up, meaning prospective managers are having to reach a little to secure his services.

Richaun Holmes - Won't play Sunday Holmes (illness) won't be available for Sunday's preseason game against the Trail Blazers, Brenden Nunes of The Sacramento Bee reports.
Impact As expected, Holmes, who was listed as doubtful, will be sidelined due to an illness. There's no indication that he'll miss any regular-season action, but Alex Len, Chimezie Metu and Trey Lyles figure to see expanded roles Sunday.

Richaun Holmes - Doubtful Sunday Holmes (illness) missed Saturday's practice and is doubtful for Sunday's exhibition against the Trail Blazers, Jason Anderson of The Sacramento Bee reports.
Impact There's no indication Holmes will miss regular-season time. Alex Len, Chimezie Metu and Trey Lyles could see expanded minutes Sunday.
OCTOBER 8, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Domantas Sabonis - Misses practice, to play Sunday Sabonis missed Saturday's practice due to a personal matter but should be available for Sunday's exhibition against the Trail Blazers, Jason Anderson of The Sacramento Bee reports.
Impact The two-time All-Star shouldn't miss any time beyond Saturday due to the issue. In his first preseason appearance, he posted four points, five rebounds, two assists and two blocks in 15 minutes.
OCTOBER 8, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Kevin Huerter - Wins starting job Kings coach Mike Brown said Friday that Huerter will be the team's starting shooting guard, James Ham of ESPN 1320 Sacramento reports.
Impact Huerter tallied five points, three rebounds and two assists in 14 minutes in Monday's preseason opener. While these numbers aren't eye-popping, the 24-year-old has done enough in training camp to win the starting job over Malik Monk, Davion Mitchell and Terence Davis.

Richaun Holmes - Misses practice Thursday Kings coach Mike Brown said Holmes missed practice Thursday while dealing with a stomach ailment, Jason Anderson of The Sacramento Bee reports.
Impact Holmes is expected to be the Kings' backup center behind Domantas Sabonis this season. The veteran big man should not miss any regular season time with this stomach ailment, but will be worth monitoring for Sunday's preseason game versus Portland.
OCTOBER 6, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Davion Mitchell - Team option picked up for 2023-24 The Kings exercised their team option on Mitchell for the 2023-24 season, Jason Anderson of The Sacramento Bee reports.
Impact Mitchell also has a team option for the 2024-25 season and will be a restricted free agent after the 2025-26 season. It should come as no surprise that the Kings have picked up Mitchell's option as they still have another two years of team control. The second-year guard averaged 11.5 points, 4.2 assists, 2.2 rebounds and 0.7 steals in 27.7 minutes over 75 games as a rookie in 2021-22.

Can Anthony Davis reignite the Lakers for the 2022-23 season?
Anthony Davis was dominant in L.A.'s preseason debut Monday. But can he keep the Lakers afloat? Skip and Shannon discuss.OCTOBER 4, 2022
Domantas Sabonis - Sees limited action in exhibition Sabonis logged four points (2-3 FG), five rebounds, two assists and two blocked shots across 15 minutes in Monday's 105-75 exhibition win over the Lakers.
Impact The Kings will probably play it safe with Sabonis throughout the preseason after he ended the 2021-22 campaign with a knee injury. The team made a considerable investment in bringing Sabonis to Sacramento, so expect his exhibition minutes to be capped so he is fresh for the regular season.
OCTOBER 4, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Richaun Holmes - Posts 10 points from bench Holmes tallied 10 points (4-6 FG, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, two blocked shots and an assist across 16 minutes in Monday's 105-75 exhibition win over the Lakers.
Impact Holmes saw a sharp decrease in playing time after the Kings trade for Domantas Sabonis last season, and he'll begin the season slotted with the second unit. It doesn't seem like there's a plan to play Sabonis and Holmes together much, so the latter probably won't be fantasy-viable in standard leagues.
OCTOBER 4, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
De'Aaron Fox - Plays 16 minutes in exhibition win Fox recorded 10 points (4-12 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 2-4 FT), four rebounds, an assist, a steal and a blocked shot across 16 minutes in Monday's 105-75 exhibition win over the Lakers.
Impact Fox's season was cut short by a hand injury back in March, but he appears to be well past it and ran with the starters in the preseason opener. Fox remains a constant amidst a slew of new arrivals, and he is once again poised to direct the offense at the point.
OCTOBER 4, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Keegan Murray - Leads all scorers in debut Murray logged 16 points (7-11 FG, 2-4 3Pt), six rebounds, two steals and an assist across 21 minutes in Monday's 105-75 exhibition win over the Lakers.
Impact Murray continues to impress after a stellar Summer League. The first-round pick out of Iowa came off the bench in his preseason debut, but space in the starting lineup may be available if his play sticks at this level. Murray's potential is high on this roster, as the Kings will look quickly for the best solution to outdo last year's 30-52 record.
