Impact Holmes was a late scratch due to a personal matter Monday against the Knicks and will remain sidelined Wednesday. Damian Jones and Trey Lyles remain candidates to see extra run.

Richaun Holmes - Out Wednesday Holmes (personal) is out Wednesday against the Nuggets.
Jeremy Lamb - Questionable vs. Nuggets Lamb (hip) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Nuggets.
Impact Lamb is in danger of missing his third straight game due to left hip soreness. If he does return Wednesday, he could have his minutes monitored.
MARCH 9, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Maurice Harkless - Questionable vs. Nuggets Harkless (ankle) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Nuggets.
Impact Harkless has missed the past five games but could return Wednesday. If he does, he may be on a minutes limit, and it's not clear if he'll reclaim his starting spot immediately.
MARCH 9, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Donte DiVincenzo - Hits double figures again DiVincenzo finished with 13 points (3-6 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 4-4 FT), four assists, three rebounds and one steal in 27 minutes Monday in the Kings' 131-115 loss to the Knicks.
Impact For the third game in a row, DiVincenzo reached double figures in scoring, though the 13 points represent his biggest total during that span. The 25-year-old probably can't be counted on to provide much more offense when the likes of De'Aaron Fox, Domantas Sabonis and Harrison Barnes are all healthy, but DiVincenzo at least typically supplements his modest scoring outputs with solid across-the-board production. He's averaging 4.4 rebounds, 3.4 assists, 1.9 three-pointers and 1.6 steals since joining the Kings at the trade deadline.

New York visits Dallas after Randle's 46-point performance
New York takes on the Dallas Mavericks after Julius Randle scored 46 points in the Knicks' 131-115 victory against the Sacramento KingsMARCH 8, 2022 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Davion Mitchell - Scores 10 points in loss Mitchell contributed 10 points (4-8 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 1-3 FT), two rebounds and three assists over 30 minutes during Monday's 131-115 loss to the Knicks.
Impact Mitchell logged the most minutes among Sacramento's reserves, but he put forth a relatively muted effort in the loss. That has been the norm for the rookie of late -- he came into the contest averaging 22.8 minutes but just 7.3 points and 2.3 assists over his past four contests. Mitchell has shown some flashes of excellence this season, but he's not playing well enough right now to warrant a roster spot in most fantasy leagues.
MARCH 8, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Harrison Barnes - Posts 23 points Monday Barnes supplied 23 points (7-11 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 6-7 FT), three rebounds and one assist across 38 minutes during Monday's 131-115 loss to the Knicks.
Impact Barnes finished just behind De'Aaron Fox (24 points) for team high-scoring honors thanks to an efficient 7-for-11 mark from the field, including a 3-for-4 effort from three-point range. However, the veteran forward didn't contribute much in the way of peripheral stats and notched a team-worst minus-19 during his time on the court. Still, this was a nice bounce-back effort for Barnes, who scored just nine points against Dallas in his previous game.
MARCH 8, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
De'Aaron Fox - Continues strong scoring stretch Fox totaled 24 points (10-18 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 3-8 FT), six rebounds, seven assists and one steal in 41 minutes during Monday's 131-115 loss to the Knicks.
Impact Fox led Sacramento in scoring in the contest, though he shot poorly from the charity stripe and knocked down only one three-pointer. The point guard also led the team in assists and has dished at least six dimes in five of his past six contests. Fox has been an elite scorer for the past month, averaging 27.8 points over his past 13 games. In terms of fantasy, that mark is somewhat dinged by the fact that he's shooting just 73.8 percent from the line and averaging just 1.5 triples over that stretch.

Domantas Sabonis - Picks up first career ejection Sabonis was ejected from Monday's game against the Knicks after being assessed two technical fouls. His night ends with 19 points (6-13 FG, 0-2 3PT, 7-9 FT), 13 rebounds and five a...
Impact Sabonis' exit won't be much of a detriment to his team, as the Kings were already down big late in the fourth quarter. He's now registered eight consecutive double-doubles and continues to also add value for fantasy managers in the assist column, averaging 6.4 dimes over the eight-game stretch.

Richaun Holmes - Late scratch Monday Holmes has been ruled out of Monday's game against the Knicks due to personal reasons, James Ham of ESPN 1320 Sacramento reports.
Impact Holmes had just returned Saturday after missing five straight games with a back injury, so this is not the news fantasy managers were looking for. Damian Jones will likely be asked to step up in Holmes' absence.

Sacramento takes on New York following Fox's 44-point showing
MARCH 7, 2022 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Jeremy Lamb - Questionable Monday Lamb (hip) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Knicks.
Impact Lamb is one of the select few players in the league who seems to be questionable on a near-nightly basis, and that is once again the case Monday. The hip issue kept the veteran guard out of Saturday's 114-113 loss to the Mavs, and he played only nine minutes off the bench in Thursday's win over the Spurs.
MARCH 7, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Domantas Sabonis - Double-double in loss to Mavs Sabonis scored 15 points (7-10 FG, 1-5 FT) while adding 10 rebounds and six assists in 32 minutes during Saturday's 114-113 loss to the Mavericks.
Impact The 26-year-old reeled off his seventh straight double-double and ninth in 10 games since joining the Kings at the trade deadline, and Sabonis only missed making it 10-for-10 by a single point and single board in the other contest. He's averaging 17.2 points, 12.8 rebounds and 6.0 assists to begin his tenure in Sacramento.
MARCH 6, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
De'Aaron Fox - Huge effort not enough Fox scored a game-high 44 points (18-31 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 5-6 FT) while adding six assists, two rebounds and a steal in 40 minutes during Saturday's 114-113 loss to the Mavericks.
Impact The 44 points tied his career high, but Fox didn't get enough help from the rest of the Sacramento roster to pull out a win against a Dallas squad missing its own biggest star in Luka Doncic (toe). Fox has scored at least 25 points in five straight games and 10 of 11 since returning to the lineup from an ankle injury in early February, averaging 28.3 points, 6.1 assists, 4.1 boards and 1.7 threes over that stretch while shooting 51.5 percent from the floor.
MARCH 6, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Richaun Holmes - Reclaims backup role in return Holmes (back) played 15 minutes in Saturday's 114-113 loss to the Mavericks, finishing with six points (2-3 FG, 2-2 FT) and six rebounds.
Impact Holmes stepped into the rotation as the Kings' backup center behind Domantas Sabonis after missing the team's previous five contests with the back injury. Kings interim head coach Alvin Gentry seemingly has no plans to play Sabonis and Holmes alongside one another, a reality that has made the latter not worthy of a roster spot in 12-team leagues since Sacramento acquired Sabonis.
