Ish Smith - Has nine dimes in victorySmith had zero points (0-3 FG, 0-3 3Pt), two rebounds, nine assists and one steal over 23 minutes during Sunday's 109-95 victory over Sacramento.
ImpactSmith tallied a season-high nine assists in the win, eclipsing 20 minutes for the second time in the past three games. Unfortunately, he failed to score, souring what could have been a productive outing. Heading into the playoffs, Smith is likely to be used as a depth piece should the team fall foul of the whistle.

Thomas Bryant - Back in rotation SundayBryant closed Sunday's 109-95 victory over Sacramento with 12 points (5-8 FG, 2-3 3Pt), eight rebounds and one block in 21 minutes.
ImpactBryant got back in the rotation Sunday, albeit in a game where the Nuggets were playing for nothing. Despite seemingly coming to Denver seeking more playing time, things have not gone to plan. Given he had not even made it onto the court in the 10 days prior to Sunday, it's hard to see him having any sort of impact come the playoffs.

Kessler Edwards - Fails to score in 10 minutesEdwards finished with zero points (0-2 FG, 0-1 3Pt) and one rebound across 10 minutes during Sunday's 109-95 loss to Denver.
ImpactEdwards barely featured in the loss, playing 10 minutes as the Kings went with their second and third units. While he has actually been able to see regular minutes over the past month, Edwards has scored double-digits only three times, failing to have any sort of a tangible impact.

Neemias Queta - First action since 2022Queta ended Sunday's 109-95 loss to Denver with zero points (0-1 FG), two rebounds and one block across four minutes.
ImpactQueta got back into the rotation Sunday, seeing the court for the first time since late 2022. The Kings simply rolled all of their pieces out there for what was a meaningless game, providing Queta with quite possibly his last action for the season.

Keon Ellis - Comes up empty in lossEllis ended Sunday's 109-95 loss to the Nuggets with one point (0-3 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT) and one assist in 13 minutes.
ImpactEllis logged double-digit minutes for the second time all season as the Kings cleared their bench in Sunday's regular-season finale. Headed to the playoffs for the first time in what feels like forever, the Kings are not used to having to prepare for postseason basketball. Based on what we have seen throughout the season, don't expect to see Ellis on the floor during the playoff run.
