De'Aaron Fox - Will not play Friday Fox (knee) will not play in Friday's game against Minnesota, Chris Biderman of The Sacramento Bee reports.

Impact Fox was carrying a questionable tag prior to this update and was able to go through the morning shootaround, but the Kings are hoping that a couple days off will help his knee recover. The point guard should be considered questionable for Monday against the Bulls. Davion Mitchell and Chris Duarte will likely have more opportunities Friday night.

De'Aaron Fox - Participates in shootaround Fox (knee) participated in Friday's shootaround, Chris Biderman of The Sacramento Bee reports.

Impact Fox is officially listed as questionable for Friday's game versus the Timberwolves due to a left knee contusion. While the star guard's participation in shootaround is a good sign of his availability, he also went through shootaround before being ruled out against Denver.

De'Aaron Fox - Questionable for Friday Fox (knee) is questionable for Friday's game in Minnesota.

Impact Fox sat out Wednesday's game due to the knee issue, which resulted in Davion Mitchell drawing the start, and he finished with five points, three assists, one rebound, one 3-pointer and one steal over 15 minutes. However, it was Chris Duarte who came through with the more impressive stat line in 26 minutes off the bench, as he ended his evening with 18 points, three rebounds, one assist, four triples, two steals and two swats. If Fox is forced to miss another game, Duarte would make sense as a deep-league streamer.

Chris Duarte - Emerges with 18 points Wednesday Duarte ended with 18 points (7-14 FG, 4-8 3Pt), three rebounds, one assist, two blocks and two steals over 26 minutes during Wednesday's 117-96 loss to the Nuggets.

Impact Duarte came into Wednesday averaging just 3.6 points in February, and he had logged more DNPs (six) than games played (five). However, the third-year pro got some extra run in the blowout loss and finished as Sacramento's second leading-scorer with a season-high 18 points. It remains to be seen if the performance will lead to more playing time for Duarte moving forward, but it was at least a positive performance in what has been an overall disappointing campaign for the 26-year-old.

Domantas Sabonis - Held to 13 points Wednesday Sabonis registered 13 points (5-14 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 3-4 FT), 10 rebounds, seven assists and one steal across 32 minutes during Wednesday's 117-96 loss to the Nuggets.

Impact Sabonis shot poorly against Nikola Jokic and the defending champions, and he consequently finished with his lowest scoring output since Feb. 5. Nonetheless, the big man extended his streak of double-doubles to 41, and he leads the league with 21 triple-doubles on the campaign. Sabonis' lack of defensive stats and triples along with mediocre free-throw shooting ding him a bit in fantasy, but he's still among the top centers in the game and ranks behind only Jokic in terms of assist leaders in the frontcourt.

Keegan Murray - Fades following hot start Murray had 21 points (9-17 FG, 3-7 3Pt), four rebounds, one block and one steal across 33 minutes during Wednesday's 117-96 loss to the Nuggets.

Impact Murray burst out of the gates with 11 first-quarter points but was held to just four points over the ensuing two periods. He added six points in garbage time to finish with a team-high 21. Murray had a more prominent role on offense Wednesday with De'Aaron Fox (knee) out of action, and he's likely to continue to get more usage if Fox misses additional time. Even when Fox is healthy, Murray has done enough to establish himself as a useful fantasy asset this season, averaging 15.1 points, 5.3 rebounds, 1.6 assists, 2.3 three-pointers and 1.1 steals through 54 games.

Davion Mitchell - Expected to start Wednesday Mitchell is expected to move into the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Nuggets with De'Aaron Fox (knee) unavailable, Jason Anderson of The Sacramento Bee reports.

Impact Across three starts this season, Mitchell has posted averages of 8.3 points, 2.3 rebounds, 3.7 assists, 1.7 triples, 1.0 steal and 1.0 turnover per contest on 37 percent shooting from the floor. He can be viewed as a low-end streaming option in deep leagues.

De'Aaron Fox - Won't play Wednesday Fox (knee) will not suit up for Wednesday's game against the Nuggets, Chris Biderman of The Sacramento Bee reports.

Impact With Fox watching from the sidelines Wednesday, there will be more opportunity for guys like Davion Mitchell, Chris Duarte and Malik Monk. Expect Domantas Sabonis and Kevin Huerter to take on more playmaking responsibilities sans Fox, and Keegan Murray could see some more shots falling his way. For now, Fox should be considered questionable for Friday's game in Minnesota.

De'Aaron Fox - Iffy against Denver Fox is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game versus the Nuggets due to a left knee contusion.

Impact Fox bumped knees with a Heat player Monday and is in danger of missing Wednesday's contest. If the star guard is ruled out, Davion Mitchell and Malik Monk are candidates to receive increased playing time.

Malik Monk - Cold from deep Monk logged eight points (4-10 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 0-2 FT), two rebounds, seven assists and two steals over 21 minutes during Monday's 121-110 loss to the Heat. He only had one turnover a...

Impact Monk failed to hit a three for the third time in his past five games, continuing a slump in which he is connecting on just 13.0 percent of 4.6 threes over that span. Sacramento travels to Denver on Wednesday, and Monk delivered just six points on 2-for-11 shooting in his last contest at the Nuggets.
