No surprise here as Bassey is now set to miss his seventh-straight game. Bismack Biyombo will continue to start for the Spurs. Bassey would be in line for a significant workload with San Antonio if he can just get healthy.

Initially announced as a reserve, Sabonis was in the starting lineup in his first game back from a strained hamstring. The veteran center playing 30 minutes and recording a triple-double was a positive sign, and he has a couple of days to recover before the Kings return to action on Monday. Sabonis’ return pushed Jonas Valanciunas to the bench, and he finished with six points, five rebounds and two assists in 12 minutes. There’s no need to hold onto Valanciunas in shallow leagues, while standard league managers may be willing to exercise some patience.

After attempting 16 shots total in his prior two games, LaVine put up 13 on Friday. That wasn’t enough to get the Kings into the winner’s circle, but LaVine’s offensive output received a welcome boost. Since the All-Star break, he has been a fourth-round player in eight-cat formats. LaVine has provided consistent fantasy value since joining the Kings in early February, and that appears unlikely to change anytime soon. The Kings play four games during Week 19, starting with the Grizzlies on Monday.

DeRozan had a good night shooting the ball but provided little value outside of points and three-pointers. Friday’s game was his first of the season with a stat line this meager, which should give fantasy managers some solace. Since the All-Star break, DeRozan has been a fourth-round player in eight- and nine-cat formats. He’ll look to bring a bit more to the table during Sacramento’s four-game Week 20 slate.

Vassell had been one of the primary beneficiaries of additional usage on the Spurs since Victor Wembanyama went down with a season-ending injury. Now the Spurs have been dealt another blow with De’Aaron Fox going down for the rest of the year. Vassell will continue to benefit along with Stephon Castle as the two led the Spurs in shot attempts Friday.

Fantasy managers that dropped Castle after the Spurs acquired De’Aaron Fox must be kicking themselves now. The 20-year-old shooting guard had to hit the bench after San Antonio’s acquisition of Fox. He still had some good games, but his ceiling was certainly lower. Now with Fox out for the rest of the season, Castle will start again and has a chance to be a difference maker down the stretch of the season and in the fantasy playoffs.

Lyles was a late addition to the injury report Thursday with a leg issue, but ultimately he was available and played 22 minutes. Now the 29-year-old power forward is out with a back injury against the Suns Friday. Jonas Valanciunas is heading back to the bench with the return of Domantas Sabonis, but he could see plenty of time off the bench with Lyles ruled out.

Sabonis is set to return from a hamstring injury that’s sidelined him for the past six games. The 28-year-old power forward’s return to the starting lineup will likely put an end to Jonas Valanciunas’ run as a starter with the Kings.

After only scoring 11 points in a blowout loss to New York on Monday, DeRozan was more productive against Golden State. Unfortunately, it was another blowout loss for Sacramento, and they have now lost three in a row. It was a poor performance from the team, but fantasy managers that have DeRozan were fine with his efficient night. They’ll play the Suns on the second night of this back-to-back on Friday, which isn’t an ideal scenario. They’ll be at a rest disadvantage against a team that they only lead by 3.5 games in the standings. DeRozan will have to have another performance like this to avoid continuing Sacramento’s slide.

This was an ugly game for the Kings as a team, but Ellis was one of the few bright spots. He outplayed starter Malik Monk (7/4/6/2/1), who has taken a major step back in production since Sacramento traded De’Aaron Fox. The expectation was that the increased usage would allow Monk to be even better than he had been, but he hasn’t been able to do that. As long as Ellis continues to be productive, he’ll push for more minutes, which will give him the chance to provide more strong stat lines over the final month.

Valanciunas has been an excellent option in place of Domantas Sabonis, who has missed Sacramento’s last six games with a hamstring injury. Sabonis practiced on Wednesday and could return to play in Phoenix on Friday. If this was Valanciunas’ final game as a starter, it wasn’t a great send off. He was benched in the second half in favor of Trey Lyles, who scored 11 points in 22 minutes. This was likely more about matchups since Golden State isn’t an easy matchup for a big like Valanciunas. If Sabonis remains out against the Suns, Valanciunas should continue to start despite this frustrating night.

Sabonis was able to practice on Wednesday, but he still isn’t ready to return to the lineup, which will make Thursday’s game his sixth-straight absence. Jonas Valanciunas should continue to shine at center, though Golden State’s smaller lineups might not be the best matchup for him. Sabonis could return Friday in Phoenix on the second night of this back-to-back.

Charania’s report said that the surgery will take place on Tuesday and will expedite his recovery for next season. Fox suffered the injury during training camp and had been playing through it all season. Over the Spurs’ final 18 games of the regular season, Stephon Castle should slide into the starting lineup and have a chance to strengthen his case for Rookie of the Year. Fox averaged 19.7 points, 4.3 rebounds, 6.8 assists and 1.5 steals in 34 minutes across his 17 games with San Antonio this season.

Sochan missed Monday’s game against the Mavericks with a calf injury, but returned Wednesday after a one-game absence despite initially being listed as questionable. The 21-year-old power forward poured in 18 points including two made 3-pointers. He also grabbed seven rebounds in just 24 minutes. Sochan has emerged as the big man with the most fantasy value on San Antonio in the wake of Victor Wembanyama’s season-ending injury.

Vassell hasn’t missed a game since December, but was listed as questionable with a wrist injury Wednesday. Nevertheless, the 24-year-old shooting guard suited up and had a double-double against the Mavericks. Vassell only scored 16 points on 14 shots, but was active on the glass with 10 rebounds and dished out six assists. He’s been one of the beneficiaries of Victor Wembanyama’s injury as he’s provided sixth-round fantasy value since the All-Star break.

Fox scored at least 30 points for the first time in 17 games since he was acquired by the Spurs before the trade deadline. The 27-year-old point guard was just one rebound shy of a triple-double as he pulled down nine rebounds in the win over the Mavericks. Fox played 41 minutes Wednesday, but he had played less than 30 minutes in two of the previous four games. San Antonio could look to curtail his minutes down the stretch as their lottery chances become a priority, which would be frustrating for fantasy managers.

Valanciunas held his own on the glass again, grabbing a game-high 13 rebounds on Monday. The veteran center has hit double digits in that category in four straight and five of his last six appearances. The increased rebounding production is why Valanciunas has been a top-25 player in nine-cat formats over the past two weeks. He’s already rostered in 85 percent of Yahoo! leagues, and JV will continue to have increased value while the Kings are without Domantas Sabonis.

LaVine only attempted 10 shots on Monday, his lowest tally since joining the Kings a few days before the February trade deadline. While the percentages were good, he wasn’t particularly impactful in the Kings’ 133-104 defeat. However, LaVine has been a top-50 player in eight-cat formats over the past two weeks. The only negative for LaVine managers is Sacramento’s schedule, as they end Week 19 with a Thursday/Friday back-to-back against the Warriors and Suns.

Monk returned from a three-game absence on Monday and was not under any restrictions. However, there was a quick trip to the locker room during the second half, and the Kings getting blown out ensured Monk a few more minutes on the bench than planned. Monday’s game was his first with 20 points or more since before the All-Star break, and Monk’s scoring has taken a hit since the De’Aaron Fox trade. After averaging 18.0 points per game before February 1, he’s recorded 16.7 since the trade. With the Kings fighting to reach the postseason, they’ll need Monk to be more impactful as a scorer.

Vassell had been quieter over San Antonio’s last two games after scoring 37 points last week, but he got back on track as a scoring option on Monday. His slump appears to be over, and he has contributed value in other areas, which has helped his fantasy impact. He has averaged 18.5 points, five rebounds, 3.4 assists, 1.6 steals and 2.8 three-pointers per game over the last two weeks, which ranks inside the top-40 in nine-cat scoring. He should continue to be a strong option for the rest of the season.

Johnson came up big in the second half of Monday’s game, scoring 20 of his 28 points after the break. That wasn’t enough for San Antonio to get the win, but he did tie his season-high for scoring, which he has now reached three times this season. Johnson isn’t a great option in category formats, but he is more than capable of getting hot and knocking down a ton of shots. They play Dallas again on Wednesday, and Johnson will look to keep the offensive production going.

Despite being a consistent starter, Barnes has been a non-factor in fantasy basketball this season. He’s an efficient player that can hit some three-pointers, but he doesn’t help in any individual category. However, he was unconscious as a scorer in Monday’s loss. His two missed field goal attempts were both three-pointers, meaning he made all eight of his two-point attempts. He didn’t enjoy that same success at the free throw line as he made just one of his three shots. This was an excellent performance from him, but there is a reason that he is rostered in just 13 percent of Yahoo! leagues despite playing 27.4 minutes per game.

Valanciunas had a difficult night shooting the basketball, but there was still some value in his stat line. The 17 rebounds are the most he’s had in a game since his final appearance for the Wizards on February 3, and the veteran center has hit double figures in that category in four of his last five. Add the seven assists, and all wasn’t lost for those who have Valanciunas.

While Murray’s offensive output has been modest on most nights, he has hit double figures in seven of the eight games he’s appeared in since the All-Star break. The combination of consistent scoring and solid percentages is why Murray has been ranked just outside the top 50 in nine-cat formats since the break. Even with Domantas Sabonis and Malik Monk out due to injury, Murray’s fantasy ceiling is limited, with DeMar DeRozan and Zach LaVine dominating the shots. However, he can still provide solid value, as evidenced by his production since the All-Star break.

DeRozan hit multiple key shots down the stretch on Sunday. Unfortunately for the Kings he didn’t have the ball in his hands last. Kawhi Leonard did, and his left-handed shot as time expired gave the Clippers the win. DeRozan has scored 30 points or more on 11 occasions this season, three shy of his 2023-24 total, continuing to provide reliable fantasy value in eight- and nine-cat formats. The good news for managers whose playoffs begin during Week 20 is that the Kings play 12 games during Weeks 20-22. As for Week 19, Sacramento plays three, starting with the Knicks on Monday.

Since the All-Star break, LaVine has been close to a top-25 player in eight-cat formats, shooting nearly 58 percent from the field. LaVine has fit in well with his new teammates, to the delight of those who have him rostered.

Castle has scored 20 points or more in five of his last six appearances, and Sunday’s performance was efficient. The rookie guard did not commit a turnover in his 28 minutes on the floor, the second time he’s done so since the All-Star break. While the weekend in San Francisco may have worn Castle down some, he’s bounced back from a slow start to the “second half.” Rostered in 46 percent of Yahoo! leagues, the Spurs guard has been a 10th-round player in eight- and nine-cat formats over his last six.

While there may be a desire to give Fox all the time he needs to place his imprint on the roster, it’s fair to wonder if the Spurs will either decrease his minutes or hold him out of the occasional game as the season winds down.

Vassell has scored 15 points or more in consecutive games for the first time in nearly a month. While the fantasy value since the All-Star break has been poor, the Spurs wing has been a 12th-round player over the past week. Vassell’s decreased defensive production has been a factor, but he has recorded a steal and a blocked shot in two straight games. If Vassell can increase the defensive numbers, his fantasy value should improve despite the inconsistent scoring.
