RecapZach LaVine (elbow) recorded 23 points (8-of-14 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), four rebounds, one assist and five three-pointers in Monday’s win over the Mavericks.
After attempting nine shots in Saturday’s blowout loss to the Grizzlies, LaVine got up 14 on Monday. Fantasy managers will be pleased with his efficiency: LaVine shot over 50 percent from the field and made five of nine three-point attempts. With the Kings handing the keys to Darius Acuff Jr., there have been nights when LaVine and Domantas Sabonis (9/7/4/1) don’t get the touches they want. That can be a challenge for fantasy managers, especially if neither LaVine nor Sabonis gets moved before the February trade deadline.
