Daeqwon Plowden Fantasy Stats

Sacramento Kings guard/forward Daeqwon Plowden (illness) is unavailable for Wednesday's matchup against the Los Angeles Lakers. Plowden will miss his second game of the season this evening due to an illness. His next chance to play is Friday's NBA Cup game against the San Antonio Spurs. With Plowden sidelined, Sacramento could lean more heavily on its other wings, though his absence is unlikely to have a major fantasy impact.

Sacramento Kings guard/forward Daeqwon Plowden agreed to a two-year, $5.1 million deal, according to Michael Scotto of HoopsHype. Plowden earned a standard NBA contract after two-way stops with Golden State, Atlanta, and Sacramento, averaging 10.8 points, 3.0 rebounds, and 1.3 assists across 26.4 minutes in 32 games with the Kings last season. The 27-year-old had some late-season scoring flashes, including a 20-point, nine-rebound outing, but his fantasy path is narrow with Zach LaVine, DeMar DeRozan, Keegan Murray, and De'Andre Hunter ahead of him.

Sacramento Kings forward Daeqwon Plowden (foot) is probable for Tuesday's game against Charlotte after missing the previous contest, putting the two-way wing on track to reclaim a rotation role. Plowden has averaged 14.4 points, 3.0 three-pointers, 3.2 rebounds, 1.2 assists, and 1.4 steals across his last five appearances, giving him deep-league appeal for threes and defensive stats. Sacramento's injury situation could keep minutes available. Malik Monk and Devin Carter should also continue seeing steady runs in the backcourt, while Plowden remains a viable short-term streamer if his workload holds.

Sacramento Kings forward Daeqwon Plowden will start Thursday against the 76ers with Nique Clifford (hamstring) sidelined, marking just his third start of the season. Plowden logged 14 points, three three-pointers, and two steals in 28 minutes off the bench in his last outing and could see a similar run again, putting him on the radar as a deep-league streamer for threes and steals during the fantasy playoffs. DeMar DeRozan and Russell Westbrook should continue handling most of the offensive usage, while Precious Achiuwa may also benefit from the thinner rotation.

Guard/forward Daeqwon Plowden has signed a two-way contract with the Sacramento Kings. The 26-year-old was a free agent after being waived by the Phoenix Suns earlier this month. Plowden appeared in his first six NBA games with the Atlanta Hawks last season, averaging 7.2 points in 12.0 minutes, with an impressive 52.9 percent shooting from three-point range. He's been a reliable scorer in the G League and was part of the Kings' Summer League team. Plowden's averages of 7.3 points and 2.7 rebounds in Vegas were apparently enough to earn a two-way deal with the Kings.
