Malik Monk - Good to go Wednesday Monk (foot) is available for Wednesday's game versus the Celtics.
Impact Monk has been upgraded from questionable to available Wednesday despite dealing with a right foot injury. Monk has been one of the NBA's best bench players this season, averaging 17.1 points, 5.5 assists and 2.3 rebounds in 27.3 minutes across his last 10 appearances.

Malik Monk - Dealing with foot irritation Monk is questionable for Wednesday's game against Boston due to right foot irritation.
Impact Monk is a late addition to the injury report, which is never a good sign. If he can't suit up, Keon Ellis, Davion Mitchell, Chris Duarte and Sasha Vezenkov would be candidates for increased roles.

Kings face the Celtics on 3-game win streak
Sacramento looks to continue its three-game win streak with a victory over BostonDECEMBER 20, 2023 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Harrison Barnes - Scores 19 points in win Barnes ended with 19 points (8-11 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 1-1 FT) and one steal in 34 minutes during Monday's 143-131 victory over Washington.
Impact Barnes didn't do anything -- outside of a steal -- other than scoring in this game, but given the contest turned out to be closer than many expected, his contributions were valued as the Kings brushed off the challenge of a combative Wizards team. Barnes has been inconsistent with his scoring figures and has reached double-digit points in just four of his last nine games, and he will continue handling a secondary role in an offense led by two established stars in De'Aaron Fox and Domantas Sabonis.
DECEMBER 19, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Kevin Huerter - Struggles from deep in win Huerter had 11 points (4-8 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, two assists and one block across 23 minutes during Monday's 143-131 victory over the Wizards.
Impact Huerter might have reached double-digit scoring numbers for the second game in a row, something he hadn't done since early December, but he continues to struggle with his shot, particularly from three-point range. He's shooting just 35.4 percent from deep over his last 10 games, which is a sizable downgrade compared to the 40.7 percent he's posted throughout the entire campaign.
DECEMBER 19, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
De'Aaron Fox - Dominates against Washington Fox contributed 30 points (10-19 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 8-12 FT), five rebounds, six assists, one block and three steals over 33 minutes during Monday's 143-131 win over Washington.
Impact Even though Keegan Murray and Domantas Sabonis stood out due to his individual performances, Fox has been outstanding as well, and the star guard continues to settle himself as one of the best floor generals in the Western Conference. Fox showed no ill effects of the shoulder injury that sidelined him against the Jazz on Saturday, and he should handle his regular workload going forward. Fox is in line for a tough matchup Wednesday against the Celtics.
DECEMBER 19, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Keegan Murray - Stays hot in win Murray ended Monday's 143-131 victory over the Wizards with 25 points (9-17 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 3-3 FT), five rebounds, four assists and one steal in 32 minutes.
Impact Murray has buried 16 of 22 three-point attempts over his last two games, which have represented his two largest scoring outputs of the season. He's arguably the hottest shooter in basketball, but a tougher task awaits on Wednesday against the Celtics, who limited Murray to just three points when these two teams met last season.
DECEMBER 19, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Domantas Sabonis - Catalyzes victory Sabonis notched 28 points (11-16 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 5-6 FT), 13 rebounds, 12 assists and one block over 32 minutes during Monday's 143-131 win over the Wizards.
Impact Sabonis logged his third triple-double of the season Monday. He posted 14 triple-doubles last season, so while he isn't quite on pace to replicate his booming 2022-23 campaign, his 7.0 assists per game still ranks second among all centers behind Nikola Jokic. Sabonis had just two turnovers as well, thoroughly capitalizing against the Wizards' 29th ranked defense.
DECEMBER 19, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Sasha Vezenkov - Season-high seven rebounds Vezenkov posted eight points (3-5 FG, 2-3 3Pt), seven rebounds, one assist and two steals across 12 minutes during Monday's 143-131 victory over the Wizards.
Impact Vezenkov continues to see limited action off the bench, playing more than 20 minutes just three times over his first 22 NBA appearances. The sharpshooter is capable of providing quality production in brief stints on the court, but he doesn't have a clear path to increased playing time and shouldn't be rostered in standard leagues.

Keon Ellis - Back to bench Ellis isn't starting Monday's game against the Wizards.
Impact Ellis drew a spot start at point guard Saturday against the Jazz, but he'll return to his usual role Monday now that De'Aaron Fox (shoulder) has been cleared for action. Ellis is averaging 4.3 points, 1.5 rebounds and 1.1 assists in his last 10 contests as a reserve.
DECEMBER 19, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
De'Aaron Fox - Will play vs. Wizards Fox (shoulder) is available for Monday's game against the Wizards, Frankie Cartoscelli of KHTK Sactown Sports 1140 reports.
Impact Fox has been trending in the right direction after being added to the injury report with a shoulder injury, and he's now been cleared to take the court Monday night. He continues to play at a high level in December, averaging 29.0 points, 3.7 rebounds, 7.5 assists and 1.2 steals in six contests.
DECEMBER 19, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
De'Aaron Fox - Participates in shootaround Fox (shoulder), who is questionable for Monday's game against the Wizards, participated in the Kings' morning shootaround, Sean Cunningham of Fox 40 Sacramento reports.
Impact Fox sat out Saturday against the Jazz due to a shoulder issue, but his participation in Monday's shootaround is encouraging for his status against Washington. The Kings will presumably monitor how he feels in the hours leading up to Monday's tipoff, but he'd provide a significant boost if he's available, as he's averaged 29.0 points, 7.5 assists and 3.7 rebounds in 34.2 minutes per game over six appearances in December.

De'Aaron Fox - Questionable for Monday Fox (shoulder) is questionable for Monday's game against Washington, Jason Anderson of The Sacramento Bee reports.
Impact Fox was unavailable for Saturday's game against the Jazz due to a shoulder injury, but he'll be in the mix to return against Washington. If he's sidelined again, Malik Monk, Kevin Huerter and Davion Mitchell are candidates to see increased run.
DECEMBER 18, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Malik Monk - Posts 18 points in victory Monk contributed 18 points (6-16 FG, 4-12 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, eight assists and one block over 26 minutes during Saturday's 125-104 win over the Jazz.
Impact With De'Aaron Fox (shoulder) sidelined, Monk posted a solid number as a fill-on amid struggles from Keon Ellis after he failed to produce as Fox's replacement. Monk has emerged as one of the best sixth men in the league, and he's flexible enough to spell Fox, Kevin Huerter or Harrison Barnes off the bench.
