Mason Jones - Continues surging in G League win Jones supplied 26 points (7-14 FG, 5-9 3Pt, 4-4 FT), 10 assists, seven rebounds and one steal across 42 minutes in Stockton's 106-104 overtime G League win over Rip City on Sunday.
Impact The Arkansas product is on quite a tear, having posted three straight 20+-point efforts with at least four made three-pointers in each, and having dished out double-digit assists in five of the last six contests as well. Jones is now averaging 15.3 points, 7.9 assists and 4.5 rebounds across 31.8 minutes over 19 G League games.

Kevin Huerter - Ruled out for Wednesday Huerter (shoulder) will be inactive Wednesday against Toronto.
Impact A formal diagnosis on Huerter's shoulder has yet to come, potentially indicating that Sacramento is sending him for additional testing. The Kings will commence a back-to-back Wednesday without the 25-year-old, and Huerter's status is likely in doubt for Thursday's game against Washington as well. Keon Ellis and Chris Duarte profile as match-up dependent fill-ins for Sacramento's rotation.
MARCH 19 • ROTOWIRE
Sasha Vezenkov - Ascends to questionable Vezenkov (ankle) has been upgraded to questionable for Wednesday's game against Toronto.
Impact Vezenkov has been sidelined for nearly six weeks due to a right ankle sprain, but a return appears imminent for the 28-year-old. When ultimately cleared, Vezenkov could be a candidate to help fill the potential void of Kevin Huerter (shoulder) if the latter misses extended time after being injured in Monday's win over Memphis. Vezenkov is averaging just 5.6 points and 2.5 rebounds in 12.6 minutes across 35 appearances this season, but he is knocking down 38.0 percent of 2.9 threes per game.

De'Aaron Fox - Hands out 10 assists Fox closed Monday's 121-111 overtime victory over the Grizzlies with 23 points (8-16 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 3-4 FT), seven rebounds, 10 assists, one block and three steals in 43 minutes.
Impact Fox finished just three rebounds away from recording a triple-double, and with Domantas Sabonis and Malik Monk posting impressive stat lines as well, Fox was able to showcase his elite playmaking ability. The star floor general is averaging 26.0 points, 6.6 assists, 5.4 rebounds and 1.9 steals per game since the beginning of March while recording double-digit assists twice in that span.

Malik Monk - Goes for 28 points off bench Monk amassed 28 points (10-19 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 7-7 FT), six rebounds and six assists over 39 minutes during Monday's 121-111 overtime win over the Grizzlies.
Impact Monk struggled from three-point range, but that didn't stop him from posting another impressive stat line, with the veteran sharpshooter now reaching the 20-point mark in three of his last five appearances. One of the most productive second-unit scorers in The Association, Monk holds substantial value in most formats due to his scoring prowess and important role in the Kings' rotation. He's averaging 21.4 points, 5.9 assists and 4.6 rebounds per game since the beginning of March.

Domantas Sabonis - Comes up short of triple-double Sabonis ended Monday's 121-111 overtime victory over Memphis with 25 points (6-17 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 13-15 FT), 18 rebounds, five assists and two blocks over 40 minutes.
Impact Sabonis ended five assists away from recording another triple-double, a stat in which he leads the league over the likes of Nikola Jokic and Luka Doncic, but he kept his double-double streak alive -- he's now recorded that feat in 50 consecutive appearances. Sabonis has been one of the best fantasy players this season and should remain an absolute stud now that most leagues are playing in the postseason. He also holds a sizable role for a Kings team that's pushing to make the postseason in the Western Conference.

Kings guard Kevin Huerter knocked out of game versus Grizzlies with shoulder injury
Sacramento Kings guard Kevin Huerter left Monday night’s game against Memphis with a left shoulder injury and was ruled out for the rest of the gameMARCH 19 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Kevin Huerter - Out with shoulder injury Huerter will not return to Monday's game against Memphis due to a left shoulder injury.
Impact Huerter was fouled so hard by Desmond Bane that his left shoulder appears to subluxate/dislocate in the air -- although it was an inadvertent play and normal transition foul from Bane. No official diagnosis has been published by Sacramento yet, but Huerter's night is done.

Kevin Huerter - Injuries arm Monday Huerter exited to the locker room in the first quarter of Monday's game against Memphis after suffering a wrist injury, James Ham of ESPN 1320 Sacramento reports.
Impact Huerter was fouled in transition and immediately crumpled to a heap under the basket after taking a smack to the arm. It's unclear if his wrist or shoulder suffered more of the blow, but Huerter went straight to the locker room, visibly in pain.
MARCH 19 • ROTOWIRE
Sasha Vezenkov - Full go at shootaround Vezenkov, who remains out for Monday's game against the Grizzlies, was a full participant during the team's morning shootaround, Sean Cunningham of Fox 40 Sacramento reports.
Impact Vezenkov hasn't played since Feb. 9 and has missed 28 of Sacramento's last 37 games while dealing with a lingering ankle issue. Shootarounds aren't normally very intense, so the former EuroLeague MVP probably still has a few hurdles to clear before getting cleared for game action. Vezenkov's role was minor before his absence, but the Kings may look to get him more involved with Trey Lyles (knee) hurt and Kevin Huerter struggling.

Kessler Edwards - Drops a donut in loss Edwards ended with no counting stats in one minute during Saturday's 98-91 loss to the Knicks.
Impact Edwards failed to bother the scorers once again Saturday, a common occurrence during what has been a dreadful season. He is the 468th-ranked player to this point, averaging 1.4 points per game. Clearly, he has no fantasy value.
MARCH 17 • ROTOWIRE
Chris Duarte - Hits rock bottom in loss Duarte posted no counting stats over zero minutes during Saturday's 98-91 loss to the Knicks.
Impact Duarte played just eight seconds in the loss, continuing his terrible season. He is well outside the top 300 for the season, often spending his entire evening sitting on the bench. Outside of some very specific streaming opportunities, Duarte can be safely ignored in most fantasy formats.
MARCH 17 • ROTOWIRE
Alex Len - Tallies three blocks Saturday Len chipped in zero points (0-2 FG), one rebound and three blocks in seven minutes during Saturday's 98-91 loss to New York.
Impact Len blocked a season-high three shots in the loss, albeit in a muted role of just seven minutes. Given he has failed to play more than 10 minutes in eight straight games, Len is not someone managers need to prioritize, even in deeper formats.
