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.

There were few positive takeaways for the rebuilding Wizards at the outset of the Trae Young era as they gave up 128 points on the defensive end of the floor and shot just 42.5 percent on the night. The 20-year-old big man has been extremely impactful for fantasy purposes this season, averaging 17.2 points, 7.5 assists, 3.0 assists, 0.8 steals and 2.3 blocks through 28 games. The Wizards close out the week with a road tilt against the Suns on Sunday evening.

After starting Sacramento’s last 11 games, Precious Achiuwa has been moved to the bench. He’s been replaced in the lineup by Ellis, who should get the minutes needed to achieve fantasy relevance. Whether he starts or comes off the bench, there’s no need to roster Achiuwa in most fantasy leagues.
