RecapZach LaVine recorded 15 points (6-of-10 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), four rebounds, two assists and one three-pointer in Sunday’s loss to the Heat.
LaVine shot the ball well on Sunday, but the playing time was an eye-opener. He played 25 minutes against the Heat and did not return after being subbed out with 4:03 remaining in the third quarter. The Kings made no injury announcement, and LaVine was called for one foul, so foul trouble couldn’t have been the reason. Kings head coach Doug Christie played Darius Acuff Jr. and Malik Monk (9/2/3/1) in the backcourt for the entire fourth quarter, which left no room for LaVine. That’s something for fantasy managers to watch moving forward.
