Jeffries, who began his NBA career with the Kings, has returned to Sacramento on a short-term deal. He was in training camp with the team in the fall but was waived just before the start of the season. While Jeffries’ return gives the Kings needed depth on the perimeter due to injuries to Russell Westbrook and Nique Clifford, it is unlikely to affect fantasy basketball.

Edgecombe had scored at least 35 points in two of his last three games, but it’s difficult to project that ceiling with Joel Embiid and Paul George back in the lineup. Both Embiid and George took more shots than the 20-year-old point guard on Wednesday. Edgecombe was efficient with 22 points on nine attempts and four three-pointers, but his volume took a hit.

George came back from a 25-game suspension he received after violating the league’s anti-drug policy and had a great game in the 157-137 victory over the Bulls. The 35-year-old small forward had 28 points and six three-pointers in the blowout win. With Joel Embiid also going off for 35 points in what was his first game back from injuries, the 76ers have two stars back down the stretch of the regular season.

With Paul George also returning and scoring 28 points, the 76ers have two big-time players back in the lineup as they approach the playoffs.

Murray has not appeared in a game since February 25, when he aggravated his sprained left ankle against the Rockets. Being approved to resume contact activities is a step in the right direction, but it remains unknown when (or if) he’ll return to game action. Fantasy managers stashing Murray in an IL spot can continue to do so, but it would be fine to seek out productive options on the waiver wire.

Oubre, who was diagnosed with a sprained left elbow on March 11, appears to be closing in on a return to action. While he will not play in Wednesday’s game against the Bulls, the ability to resume on-court workouts and participate in pregame shootaround is a step in the right direction. Quentin Grimes, who returns to action after a one-game absence, should remain in the starting lineup until Oubre is cleared.

Thursday’s game will be the third straight that Westbrook has missed due to a sore right foot.

Plowden surpassed his career high for scoring in this game, which he previously set five days before this game in his most recent appearance. He has scored in double figures in eight straight games, which is impressive for a player that has scored in double figures just 13 times in his career. Plowden should continue to play a significant role for Sacramento for the remainder of the season, giving him some upside as an option in deep leagues.

Monk made his first of the season after scoring 32 points in Sunday’s win. While he didn’t replicate that scoring production, he was able to facilitate well. Monk set a new career high for assists, and he did it without turning the ball over.

Clifford underwent an MRI after injuring his left foot during Sunday’s win over the Nets, and imaging revealed a midfoot sprain. Given the timeline, there isn’t much to gain from stashing the rookie in an IL slot in fantasy leagues. Malik Monk has a high ceiling, but only if the Kings allow him to play quality minutes consistently. Daeqwon Plowden and Devin Carter will receive more opportunities to perform, as they are less proven than Monk at this stage in their respective careers.

Embiid will go through another workout on Tuesday, with intensity ramped up, before he’s re-evaluated. Adem Bona has served as the starting center on most nights in Embiid’s absence, with Andre Drummond providing depth off the bench.

Given how small the Nets were in the frontcourt on Sunday, this was an excellent matchup for Achiuwa. While the shooting percentages weren’t great, fantasy managers will certainly take the 15 rebounds. The final tally was a season-high in that category, and Achiuwa is up to ten double-doubles on the season. Like fellow starter Maxime Raynaud, the Kings are likely to continue playing Achiuwa heavy minutes for the rest of the season, preserving his fantasy value. With Sacramento scheduled to play four games in Week 22, don’t hesitate to add Precious if he’s on the waiver wire.

With no Russell Westbrook and Killian Hayes (toe) and Nique Clifford (ankle) leaving Sunday’s game due to injuries, there was room for Monk to do what he’s capable of offensively.

With the Nets forced to go small on Sunday due to injuries, this set up to be a good day for Raynaud. And the rookie took advantage of his opportunities, recording his 16th double-double of the season. Raynaud has scored at least 20 points in four of his last five appearances, a run that includes two 30-point games. As long as he’s healthy, the rookie center should be able to provide consistent fantasy value for the rest of the season.

With Dominick Barlow spraining his left ankle during the first quarter of Saturday’s game, the 76ers had to call on Watford and Jabari Walker for more production. While Walker (8/5/3/1/1 in 18 minutes) was the immediate replacement for Barlow, Watford started the second half and would finish one rebound shy of a double-double.

In the eight games the 76ers have played since losing Tyrese Maxey to a finger injury, Grimes has averaged 22.1 points while shooting 46.3 percent from the field.
