Monk has missed Sacramento’s last three games with a sore right ankle. His absence has factored into Daeqwon Plowden playing more minutes off the bench, but he is not worth the risk as a streamer.

Westbrook is back after sitting out Sunday’s win over the Jazz, which was Sacramento’s second game in as many nights. His return will push Killian Hayes to the bench, which eliminates most of the recent signing’s fantasy value.

Carter’s continued absence does not significantly affect fantasy basketball, especially with Russell Westbrook removed from the injury report. Killian Hayes will take on the backup point guard minutes, and he has deep-league streaming potential when the Kings don’t have Carter or Westbrook.

While he did not offer much scoring and did not record any defensive stats, Raynaud provided good value in the rebounds category. Given how well he shot the ball in Saturday’s win over the Clippers, going 11-of-12 from the field, one could argue that the rookie was bound to cool down. Since the All-Star break, only Precious Achiuwa has been more valuable in fantasy basketball amongst Kings, regardless of league format.

Achiuwa continues to shine in Sacramento, as he recorded his second consecutive 20-point double-double on Sunday. Since the All-Star break, the Kings’ forward has provided top-50 value in eight- and nine-cat formats. As long as Achiuwa is playing starters’ minutes, he needs to be rostered in 12-team leagues for the rest of the season.

Unsurprisingly, the Jazz had no answer defensively for DeRozan, who made consistent trips to the foul line on Sunday. The veteran wing recorded season-highs in free throws made (18) and attempted (21) while also shooting over 50 percent from the field. Add in the assists and steals, and this was an excellent end to Week 20 for managers who have DeRozan on their rosters. The Kings play three games in Week 21, beginning with the Spurs on Tuesday.

Eubanks most recently played 15 minutes in a March 11 loss to the Hornets, and the left thumb has been an issue for most of this season. A fracture suffered in December limited the veteran backup to six appearances over a two-plus-month stretch, and a torn ulnar collateral ligament suffered recently required surgery. While the Kings have not yet provided an official timeline, Eubanks is unlikely to return in time to add value to fantasy rosters.

With Russell Westbrook (foot) sitting out Sunday’s game, Hayes will make his first start since agreeing to a standard, two-year contract earlier Sunday. While he still can’t be trusted fully in fantasy leagues, the point guard should play enough on Sunday to merit consideration from fantasy managers in dire need of an active player for the final game of Week 20.

Eubanks is set to miss another game with a sore left thumb. Dylan Cardwell played 13 minutes off the bench in Eubanks’ absence Saturday against the Clippers, but had no points to go with six rebounds.

Carter will miss a third straight game as he continues to recover from a calf injury. With Russell Westbrook also out, the Kings will likely turn to Killian Hayes to run the point. Hayes has not been the most reliable option in fantasy leagues, but those in dire need of assists may consider adding him ahead of the final game of Week 20.

Monk is set to miss his third consecutive game with right ankle soreness. Daeqwon Plowden has played at least 30 minutes in both of Monk’s previous absences, making him an option for managers in deeper formats.

Westbrook hasn’t been playing back-to-back games since the All-Star break, so it’s no surprise the 37-year-old point guard was ruled out for Sunday’s game against the Jazz. Killian Hayes recently signed a two-year deal with the Kings and stands to benefit the most from Westbrook’s absence.

While it’s unknown whether the 2026-27 season of Hayes’ new deal is guaranteed, at the very least, he will be able to finish out the season with the Kings. His opportunities for the rest of this season will likely depend on Russell Westbrook’s availability. When the veteran point guard is available, Hayes has an extremely limited fantasy ceiling.

Westbrook finished Saturday’s triple-double with the 209th of his NBA career, but fantasy managers took a hit in the percentages. Since the All-Star break, the veteran point guard has shot 41.4 percent, limiting his category league value. While Westbrook has provided seventh-round value during this stretch, it would be much better if he were more accurate shooting the basketball. With Westbrook not playing both games of a back-to-back since before the All-Star break, he should be considered questionable for Sunday’s game against the Jazz.

Raynaud did not record any defensive stats in Saturday’s victory, but the points and field-goal percentage were excellent. The rookie center missed just one shot, rebounding nicely from a four-point effort in Wednesday’s loss to the Hornets. Since the All-Star break, Raynaud has provided fifth-round value in eight-cat formats. The Kings play once more in Week 20, as they host the Jazz on Sunday in what could be an excellent matchup for Raynaud.

Achiuwa continues to shine during the silly season, and he has been an excellent option for category league managers. Since the All-Star break, the Kings’ forward has provided third-round value in eight-cat formats. Rostered in 36 percent of Yahoo! leagues, Achiuwa is worth adding in 12-team leagues, especially with the Kings hosting the Jazz on Sunday in their final game of Week 20.

Sacramento had a field day offensively, especially its top three scorers. DeRozan, Precious Achiuwa and Maxime Raynaud shot a combined 32-of-40 from the field, scoring 75 points. DeRozan led the way with his 27-point effort, and fantasy managers also received solid value in the assist category. As long as the Kings continue to play him starters’ minutes, the veteran wing will be a valuable option, especially in points leagues. The Kings play three games in Week 21, starting with the Spurs on Tuesday.

Monk will miss a second straight game with a sore right ankle. For Wednesday’s loss ot the Hornets, Daeqwon Plowden played 30 minutes off the bench, and he may be in line for a similar workload against the Clippers. At best, Plowden is worth a look in extremely deep redraft leagues.

Murray aggravated his sprained left ankle during a February 25 game against the Rockets and has not played since. With the update provided by the Kings on Friday, he’s unlikely to be an impact option for fantasy managers again this season. Nique Clifford is as close to a must-add as a player can be going into the silly season, and Precious Achiuwa is also worth a long look in 12-team leagues. Daeqwon Plowden has cracked the rotation, but Clifford and Achiuwa should be the priorities of fantasy managers.

Eubanks will sit out Saturday’s game due to a sore left thumb. His absence frees up playing time for Dylan Cardwell, who is available to make his return from a sprained ankle that sidelined him for nearly a month.

Considered questionable for Saturday’s game following Friday’s practice, Carter is now out. His absence means more rotation minutes for Killian Hayes, who is likely to serve as Russell Westbrook’s primary backup.

Cardwell, who has been out since spraining his ankle during one of the Kings’ first practices out of the All-Star break, practiced on Friday. Now absent from the injury report, he’ll be available on Saturday. While it may not happen immediately due to a possible minutes limit, Cardwell can be valuable during the silly season for managers needing rebounding and defensive stats.

Cardwell sprained his ankle in mid-February, and he was given a four-week re-evaluation timeline on February 18. His return to practice means Cardwell could be back in action soon, and fantasy managers willing to take a speculative risk should add him off the waiver wire and stash him in an IL spot.

Westy will return following Wednesday’s absence, and he should handle his usual workload. Malik Monk (ankle) and Devin Carter (calf) are both questionable, which should mean more run for Nique Clifford and Killian Hayes. Sacramento plays a Saturday-Sunday back-to-back set, so it wouldn’t be surprising for Westbrook to sit out Sunday.

Achiuwa continues to provide solid value to fantasy managers. Since the All-Star break, the Kings’ forward has provided fifth-round value in eight-cat formats. Achiuwa is rostered in 37 percent of Yahoo! leagues, which is too low given his current role and production. With the Kings ending Week 20 with a back-to-back on Saturday and Sunday, Precious is worth the risk in 12-team leagues.

While Clifford did not serve as the starting point guard on Wednesday, the absences of Russell Westbrook, Malik Monk and Devin Carter factored into the rookie’s playing time. He logged 41 minutes, finishing with a complete stat line. Killian Hayes (11/2/4 with one three-pointer) played 31 minutes as the starting point guard, but Clifford is due to be the Kings’ priority the rest of this season. Now is a good time to pick him up, especially with the Kings playing two more games in Week 20.

DeRozan put on a show against the Hornets, even if it occurred in a defeat. He scored 24 points in the first half, passing Tim Duncan to move into 18th on the NBA’s career points list in the process. DeRozan finished with 39 points and played 41 of a possible 48 minutes. Wednesday’s defeat officially eliminated the Kings from postseason contention, so the 40-minute nights may not happen for DeRozan moving forward.

Carter’s coming off the best performance of his NBA career, having scored a career-high 24 points in 16 minutes in Tuesday’s win over the Pacers. With Russell Westbrook (quad) also out, the Kings will rely more on Nique Clifford and Killian Hayes on Wednesday.
