According to the NBA, Schröder confronted and attempted to strike another player 40 minutes after the Kings’ 125-101 loss to the Lakers in a Crypto.com Arena hallway. ESPN has reported that the player was Lakers guard Luka Dončić. His suspension will begin with Sunday’s game against the Rockets, and Schröder will be eligible to return on January 16 against the Wizards.

Porter is dealing with a right hip contusion, but the good news is that he’s probable on the Bucks’ initial injury report. If he’s unable to play, Gary Trent Jr. could be the replacement in the starting lineup, while Ryan Rollins will take on a larger role as Milwaukee’s primary playmaker.

Portis has now recorded six double-doubles this season, with all having been recorded since December 14. Over the past month, the Bucks’ forward has offered top-75 per-game value in eight-cat formats. By comparison, Myles Turner (eight points, six rebounds and two three-pointers) has not been a top-150 player during this period. The combination of Portis’ production and the underwhelming return offered by Turner makes the former worth the risk in some 12-team leagues.

Giannis came up with the biggest defensive play of Friday’s game, as he poked the ball away from LeBron James in the final seconds to prevent the Lakers’ forward from attempting a potential game-tying layup. While Antetokounmpo’s shot volume was low, he shot the ball efficiently from the field and the foul line. Having seemingly put to rest any rumors regarding his future in Milwaukee, the question now is what (if anything) the Bucks will look to do to strengthen the roster around Antetokounmpo before the trade deadline. Regardless of the answer, he’ll still provide excellent fantasy value.

After returning from a sprained ankle that sidelined him for over a month, Porter has exceeded the expectations of many fantasy managers. The Bucks’ guard has been a top-20 player in eight- and nine-cat formats, well above his Yahoo! ADP (109). On Friday, Porter joined Giannis Antetokounmpo as the only Bucks players with at least 20 points, and he recorded a complete stat line with solid percentages. Rostered in 71 percent of Yahoo! leagues, KPJ is worth scooping up if available in shallow leagues.

Westbrook’s seven assists were the most in a game for him since December 27 and equal to his total in Sacramento’s prior two games. While he did shoot the ball well against the Warriors, the veteran point guard has made just 38.9 percent of his attempts over the past two weeks. That, combined with the decline in assists, has negatively affected Westbrook’s fantasy value. He’ll look to end Week 12 on a high note when the Kings host the Rockets on Sunday.

LaVine’s 6-of-8 night from inside the arc was countered by a 1-of-7 outside of it. Friday’s game was his second in the starting lineup since returning from a sprained ankle. With the Kings not showing signs of being able to climb out of the hole that they’ve dug themselves, this is a team to watch in the lead-up to the February trade deadline. LaVine’s name has been mentioned in rumors, and fantasy managers should hope for a change of scenery to ensure that he’s relevant during the playoff weeks.

For the first time since December 21 and 23, DeRozan has scored 20 points or more in back-to-back games. The decreased scoring output and percentages have the veteran wing outside the top-100 in nine-cat formats over the past two weeks. DeRozan’s season-long value remains high, but he’s one of the players on the Kings’ roster worth watching as the trade deadline approaches. The Kings end Week 12 at home against the Rockets on Sunday.

Rollins followed up a relatively mediocre performance against the Kings with a pretty solid outing on Wednesday against the Warriors. By way of efficient shooting, he concluded as Milwaukee’s second-leading scorer, and he also finished second on the team in total rebounds. Add in Rollins’ contributions as a passer, and his pair of three-pointers, and you get what was a productive performance as far as fantasy basketball goes. He’ll have a chance to log another productive game on Friday against the Lakers.

Porter Jr. put together another productive performance as the Bucks’ lead guard. As usual, he was an effective passer — leading his team in assists on Wednesday — and he also shot the ball efficiently before finishing as Milwaukee’s third leading scorer. A lack of free-throw attempts prevented him from scoring more points. Nonetheless, Porter Jr. continues to fit nicely alongside AJ Green and Ryan Rollins at the guard position in the Bucks’ starting unit.

Antetokounmpo played 31 minutes on Wednesday and collected his fourth straight 30-point double-double. Efficient shooting keyed his success, and a pair of three-pointers also added to his overall fantasy production on the night. He finished as the only Milwaukee player with double-digit rebounds and was the only one to score more than 16 points. Antetokounmpo continues to do the heavy lifting for the Bucks — their success depends on it, which is great news for fantasy basketball managers.

After scoring six points in back-to-back games, Raynaud reached double figures on Tuesday. The rookie center finished one rebound shy of a double-double, but he’s now played 35 minutes or more in four of his last six appearances. Raynaud’s offensive ceiling may be capped since he’s in a lineup with three ball-dominant players (Russell Westbrook, Zach LaVine and DeMar DeRozan). But, over the past two weeks, he has been an 11th-round player in nine-cat formats. Despite the limited ceiling, Raynaud is worth rostering as long as the Kings are without Domantas Sabonis.

DeRozan shot 3-of-6 from beyond the arc on Tuesday, the first time since December 18 (ten games) in which he’s made multiple triples in the same game. Fantasy managers don’t look to him for value in that category, but nights like Tuesday are helpful, considering the decreased scoring output. Compared to last season, DeRozan’s average (18.4) has declined by nearly four points. Because of the overall production and efficiency, he’s still offering top-50 value in nine-cat formats, but things could be better for the veteran guard/forward.

After playing 36 minutes off the bench in his first game back from a sprained ankle that sidelined him for nine games, LaVine was back in the starting lineup on Tuesday. The Kings did not have Keegan Murray, who will miss three to four weeks with a sprained ankle, so LaVine’s promotion did not come at the expense of Precious Achiuwa (nine points, nine rebounds, one steal, one block and one three-pointer in 22 minutes). LaVine recorded a complete stat line against Dallas, and he has the tools needed to threaten top-50 per-game value. Of course, that depends on how the Kings handle the trade deadline, as they should probably be “sellers.”

Active after a nine-game absence, LaVine was not restricted in any way on Sunday. He did come off the bench, with Precious Achiuwa (four points, three rebounds and two steals in 15 minutes) remaining in the starting lineup. However, with LaVine playing 36 minutes, he’ll likely start as soon as Tuesday’s game against the Mavericks. With Keegan Murray exiting Sunday’s game with a sprained ankle, there’s a chance that Achiuwa remains in the starting lineup for at least one more game, even if LaVine is promoted.

One game removed from becoming the highest-scoring point guard in league history, Westbrook recorded a robust stat line on Sunday. The field-goal percentage was poor, but the veteran point guard did a little bit of everything and kept the turnovers in check. Over the past two weeks, Westbrook has offered top-75 per-game value in eight-cat formats. And if Keegan Murray has to miss time after spraining his left ankle, Westbrook may boast a higher fantasy ceiling in the short term.

Porter has recorded three double-doubles in his last four appearances, but the 25 points scored in Sunday’s win were the most in a game for him in nearly a month. A fourth-round player in eight-cat formats over the past two weeks, Porter continues to exceed expectations in fantasy basketball. For the season, he has been a first-round player in eight-cat formats. The Bucks play three games in Week 12.

Usually, the approach of having Giannis earn his points at the foul line results in him leaving some points on the board, given his poor shooting at the free-throw line. Well, that approach didn’t work for the Kings, as he made 11 of his 13 attempts on the night. Add in an elite shooting performance from the field, and the Bucks superstar finished with his third 30-point double-double in as many appearances. While Milwaukee’s not playing again until Wednesday is bad news for fantasy managers, it does get Giannis a little more time to deal with his right calf.

Raynaud, who has filled in for the injured Domantas Sabonis as Sacramento’s starting center, had a rather nondescript night in Phoenix. Unfortunately, that changed when the rookie center’s left knee was clipped by teammate Russell Westbrook while setting a screen late in the fourth quarter. Raynaud exited immediately after the injury, and the Kings would be in a tough spot if he had to miss time. Drew Eubanks would likely re-enter the starting lineup, while Dylan Cardwell may need to be recalled from the G League.

Murray made three three-pointers against the Kings, but even more impressive was his consistent mid-range game. The 25-year-old small forward was 3-of-5 from behind the three-point line and 6-of-12 from inside it. Murray didn’t get much help from his teammates, though, as the Kings lost by 27.

The 31-year-old fantasy superstar has scored 24 points or more in four consecutive contests since returning from injury last week and has notched back-to-back double-double performances. He shot 61 percent from the floor in this one with all 18 of his attempts coming from inside the arc. Perhaps the most impressive element of this effort was that he went a perfect 8-of-8 from the charity stripe.

He narrowly made it to double figures as a scorer, with inefficient, high-volume three-point shooting among the reasons for his low output.

A double-figure scorer in two straight and four of his last six appearances, Clifford recorded a season-high point total on Tuesday. And it’s worth noting that the rookie did not have to wait until “garbage time” to put up his points. Clifford shot 6-of-8 from the field in the first three quarters and finished a steal shy of a complete stat line. One solid performance does not make him a player worth adding, but Clifford is undoubtedly someone who would have added value if the Kings move some of their veterans before the February trade deadline.

Murray returned from his calf injury much sooner than many may have expected, as he was back in the lineup on Tuesday after a two-game absence. Interestingly, he played 30 minutes despite the game getting out of hand by halftime. The only important takeaway from Tuesday’s game for Murray managers is that he got through it without aggravating the calf injury.
