Luke Kennard - Ruled out for SaturdayKennard (illness) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against Boston.
ImpactKennard will miss his second consecutive outing due to an illness, his next chance to suit up will come Sunday against the Wizards. In the sharpshooter's absence, Jake LaRavia should see an increase in playing time off the bench.

Marcus Smart - Questionable to play SaturdaySmart (ankle) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Celtics.
ImpactSmart likely sprained his right ankle during Thursday's 115-110 win over the Kings, and he is now questionable to play Saturday against the team that selected him with the No. 6 pick of the 2014 NBA Draft. Smart has scored in double digits in four of his last five games, and over that span he has averaged 14.0 points, 5.6 assists, 3.0 rebounds and 2.2 steals over 24.0 minutes per contest. If Smart cannot play Saturday, then Scotty Pippen and Jake LaRavia would be in line to see an uptick in playing time off the Grizzlies' bench.

DeMar DeRozan - Scores team-high 26 pointsDeRozan accumulated 26 points (6-15 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 13-14 FT), three rebounds, one assist and one steal in 35 minutes during Thursday's 115-110 loss to the Grizzlies.
ImpactDeRozan didn't have his best performance from an efficiency perspective, but he still led the Kings in scoring in what turned out to be a tight loss. DeRozan has adjusted well into the Kings' offensive scheme and he's been hitting the 20-point mark regularly, doing so in three of his last four contests and in 13 of his 18 appearances in the campaign.

Keegan Murray - Records double-doubleMurray notched 11 points (4-12 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 11 rebounds, two assists and two steals in 40 minutes during Thursday's 115-110 loss to the Grizzlies.
ImpactMurray struggled from the field, as he ended with more field goal attempts than points scored, but he produced enough to deliver his eighth double-double of the season. However, given that he's gone six straight games without reaching the 15-point mark, and knowing he holds a secondary role in an offense led by the likes of DeMar DeRozan, De'Aaron Fox and Domantas Sabonis, Murray isn't likely to post big numbers on a regular basis. The role he has in the Kings' offensive scheme certainly conspires against his fantasy upside.
