Dennis Schroder Carrying Questionable Tag vs. Houston

Sacramento Kings guard Dennis Schroder (hip) is questionable for Wednesday's matchup in Houston after missing three straight games, keeping Russell Westbrook in a prominent ball-handling role. Westbrook has averaged 13.2 points, 7.8 rebounds, and 8.4 assists across his last five outings, including a 16-point, 12-rebound, 14-assist showing on Nov. 28. Malik Monk (shoulder), who is probable, has been volatile this season but still gains opportunity if Schroder remains sidelined, keeping him on the streaming radar.

Dennis Schroder Won't Play Sunday

Sacramento Kings guard Dennis Schroder (hip) has been ruled out for Sunday's contest against the Memphis Grizzlies, James Ham of ESPN 1320 Sacramento reports. He will be out for a third consecutive game with a hip flexor strain. Schroder was initially listed as questionable on the injury report. Without Schroder, Russell Westbrook, Malik Monk, and Keon Ellis have an opportunity to play more. Westbrook has been the most consistent fantasy performer of the trio and is fresh off his 206th career triple-double.

Dennis Schroder Questionable With Hip Soreness On Wednesday

Sacramento Kings guard Dennis Schroder (hip) is questionable for Wednesday's matchup against Phoenix after appearing in every game so far. The veteran has recently slid into more of a backup role behind Russell Westbrook but is still providing 14.6 points, 4.2 rebounds, and 6.0 assists per game on 43.1 percent shooting over his last five outings. If he's ruled out, Westbrook takes on more creation duties, and Malik Monk, Nique Clifford, and Keon Ellis each gain a slight uptick in minutes and touches.

Domantas Sabonis Will Miss at Least 3-4 Weeks

Sacramento Kings center Domantas Sabonis (knee) will miss at least the next three to four weeks, according to the latest from ESPN's Shams Charania. Sabonis was already ruled out for the second game of the team's back-to-back on Thursday, but now there's a clearer timeline of just how long he'll miss. While he's out, Drew Eubanks, Precious Achiuwa, and Maxime Raynaud will fill in at center. Eubanks started in his place on Wednesday and will likely see the biggest boost, although the team could take the opportunity to take a look at second-round pick Raynaud as well. The Kings are only 3-12 through their first 15 games, and without Sabonis, they could sink even lower over the next few weeks. In better news, they'll have forward Keegan Murray (thumb) available for his season debut on Thursday against the Grizzlies, and maybe he'll be able to help pick up some of the slack during Sabonis's absence as well.

Keegan Murray Is Available For His Season Debut Thursday

Sacramento Kings forward Keegan Murray (thumb) does not have an injury designation for Thursday against the Grizzlies, so he should be set to make his season debut as expected. The Kings have definitely missed Murray's contributions on both ends of the floor, and he'll step right into as large a role as he is ready to handle. On Thursday, Domantas Sabonis (knee) is out, so Precious Achiuwa will be able to play a little bigger, and there will be more work available for Murray if he's ready. Since this will be his first game, though, he may need some time to ramp up. He will be fantasy relevant when he's at 100%, but he's high-risk for DFS contests in his first game of the season and could have a minutes limit.

Domantas Sabonis Will Not Play Thursday Against Memphis

Sacramento Kings center Domantas Sabonis (knee) will miss his second straight game on Thursday night when his team visits the Grizzlies in Memphis. He also sat out on Wednesday, in what was thought to be just a rest day to have him ready for Thursday's contest. Instead, he'll miss both games of the back-to-back, but the team hasn't given any update as to a timeline for his return. He could be back as soon as Saturday against the Nuggets, but there definitely seems to be more going on than initially expected. Sabonis has been very productive when available, but he has been limited to 11 games this season. Without him on Thursday, Drew Eubanks and Precious Achiuwa will get more minutes in the middle in Memphis.

Keegan Murray • PF • Kings

Keegan Murray Expected to Make Season Debut Thursday

Sacramento Kings forward Keegan Murray (thumb) is expected to make his season debut Thursday, per Jason Anderson. The third-year forward averaged 12.4 points, 6.7 rebounds, and 1.4 assists last season while shooting 44.4 percent from the field. His return brings needed stability to the frontcourt but also forces fantasy managers to monitor Sacramento's rotations closely, as coach Doug Christie has been shuffling lineups early in the year. Reduced minutes and touches are likely for Russell Westbrook, Dennis Schroder, Keon Ellis, Precious Achiuwa, and rookie Nique Clifford once Murray is fully reintegrated. Murray belongs in all lineups, with his scoring, rebounding, and defensive contributions projected to ramp up quickly. Fringe Kings options may lose streaming value as the rotation tightens.

Domantas Sabonis to Miss Wednesday's Game

Sacramento Kings center Domantas Sabonis (knee) will sit out the first leg of a back-to-back on Wednesday against the Oklahoma City Thunder. After playing through a ribcage contusion lately, Sabonis has been listed on the injury report with left knee soreness. Drew Eubanks looks set to fill in for Sabonis in the first unit and will have some fantasy appeal. Meanwhile, Precious Achiuwa also figures to be more involved in the rotation without Sabonis. However, it's going to be a tricky contest for Sacramento's backup bigs, as the Thunder give up the second-fewest fantasy points to opposing centers.

Keegan Murray Could Make his Season Debut This Week

Sacramento Kings forward Keegan Murray (thumb) has been cleared for five-on-five, contact practices, and he could be ready to join the team's rotation later this week. The Kings assigned him to the G League for practice as he ramps back up after injuring his thumb in the preseason. The team hopes he can return during the team's current road trip, potentially Thursday against the Memphis Grizzlies or Saturday against the Denver Nuggets. Murray's return will be a huge boost for the Kings, who have missed him on both ends of the floor in their woeful 3-11 start.

Precious Achiuwa • PF • Kings

Precious Achiuwa Questionable With Illness For Sunday

Sacramento Kings forward/center Precious Achiuwa (illness) is questionable for Sunday's matchup against the San Antonio Spurs. He has been filling in at power forward with Keegan Murray sidelined. He is averaging 6.7 points, 4.7 rebounds, and 58.6 percent shooting in 18.8 minutes this season. Achiuwa is mostly a deeper league streamer for rebounds, field goal percentage, and occasional defensive stats, but he gains appeal if Domantas Sabonis (ribcage) also sits. If Achiuwa is ruled out, managers in deeper formats can look to Drew Eubanks or Maxime Raynaud as short-term frontcourt streamers, while Zach LaVine and DeMar DeRozan could see even more small-ball usage.

Domantas Sabonis Considered Questionable for Sunday

Sacramento Kings center Domantas Sabonis (ribs) is considered questionable for Sunday's clash against the San Antonio Spurs. He has played in four consecutive contests despite being listed as questionable each time, so it appears likely that Sabonis will remain in the lineup on Sunday. However, if he suffers a setback, the Kings will likely hand the starting center job to Drew Eubanks, who recently filled in for Sabonis in the first unit a couple of times. Eubanks averaged 14.0 points, 3.5 rebounds, and 2.0 blocks in those contests.

Domantas Sabonis Good to Play on Friday

Sacramento Kings center Domantas Sabonis (ribs) will play on Friday versus Minnesota. His presence on the injury report is nothing new. Fortunately, it won't keep him off the floor for the NBA Cup meeting with the Timberwolves. The 29-year-old hasn't had the best 2025 campaign, averaging 15.3 points, 12.3 rebounds, and 1.1 steals. However, Sabonis is still a double-double threat whenever he's on the floor, and he could turn things around once he starts feeling better. With Sabonis available, it will likely mean even less work for Drew Eubanks.

Malik Monk • SG • Kings

Malik Monk Could Miss Another Game Friday

Sacramento Kings guard Malik Monk may sit out a second consecutive game on Friday against the Minnesota Timberwolves, as the team considers him questionable for the contest. Monk is experiencing soreness in his left ankle and could miss his fourth game already this month. If Monk can't play on Friday, Russell Westbrook and Keon Ellis are likely to receive additional run-outs. Rookie Nique Clifford may also figure more in the plans of Kings head coach Doug Christie, especially after a string of ugly losses.

Zach LaVine • SG • Kings

Zach LaVine Available for NBA Cup Action Friday

Sacramento Kings guard/forward Zach LaVine (thigh) isn't on the injury report for Friday's NBA Cup game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. A thigh injury kept LaVine sidelined on Wednesday against the Atlanta Hawks, resulting in his second absence of the season. Russell Westbrook returned to the starting lineup on Wednesday night and will presumably head back to the bench for Friday's game. 10 appearances into his first full season with the Kings, LaVine has averaged 23.9 points on 51.9 percent shooting. Unfortunately, his rebounding and assists numbers have dipped, negatively impacting his fantasy value. In his first meeting with the Timberwolves this season, LaVine finished with 26 points, four rebounds, two assists, and one steal.

Domantas Sabonis Considered Questionable for Friday

Sacramento Kings center Domantas Sabonis (ribs) is considered questionable for Friday's NBA Cup tilt against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Sabonis has regularly been on the injury report lately due to a left ribcage contusion. However, he has played in each of the past three games, suggesting that the Kings will likely upgrade him to available ahead of Friday's tip-off. If Sabonis is ruled out, Drew Eubanks will probably handle a larger workload, with Precious Achiuwa potentially also logging some extra minutes.

Zach LaVine • SG • Kings

Zach LaVine Won't Play on Wednesday Evening

Sacramento Kings guard Zach LaVine (thigh) won't suit up on Wednesday versus the visiting Hawks. It's unknown how severe the thigh contusion is, although it's apparently bad enough to force the 30-year-old to miss his second game of the 2025 campaign. Under normal circumstances, Domantas Sabonis (rib) and Malik Monk (ankle) would see a few more scoring opportunities. However, both are questionable, meaning Russell Westbrook and Dennis Schroder might have above-average fantasy showings. Nique Clifford, averaging 7.0 points, 5.5 rebounds, and 1.5 steals in two starts this season, can be considered for streaming purposes for those participating in deeper fantasy formats. LaVine's next chance to play will be on Friday in Minnesota.

Devin Carter Ruled Out Tuesday Against Denver

Sacramento Kings guard Devin Carter was a late addition to the team's injury report and will be sidelined for their Tuesday night matchup at home against the Nuggets. Carter is only playing 6.0 minutes per game and has chipped in only 0.9 points, 0.9 rebounds, and 0.9 assists in his seven games so far this season. His absence doesn't have much impact for fantasy purposes, but Nique Clifford and Keon Ellis could get a few extra minutes in his absence, especially if the game turns lopsided in either direction.

Domantas Sabonis Will Play Tuesday Night

Sacramento Kings center Domantas Sabonis (ribs) was listed as questionable for Tuesday's matchup with Nikola Jokic and the Nuggets, but he has been upgraded to available. He played through a questionable tag on Sunday against the Timberwolves as well, finishing with 20 points, 13 rebounds, three assists, and one steal in 30 minutes. He should be set for his normal workload again on Tuesday night, and he has been taking more shots this season, which gives him a very high ceiling as a multi-category producer for the up-tempo Kings in what should be a high-scoring matchup Tuesday night.

Domantas Sabonis Uncertain for Tuesday's Action

Sacramento Kings center Domantas Sabonis (ribs) is back on the injury report with a questionable designation ahead of Tuesday's encounter with the Denver Nuggets. On Sunday against the Minnesota Timberwolves, Sabonis returned to action after missing two games due to a ribcage contusion. However, he is still experiencing discomfort from the injury and may miss Tuesday night's game. Sabonis' absence has allowed Drew Eubanks to log a few starts. The 28-year-old is averaging 10.7 points, 3.7 rebounds, and 2.7 blocks per game as a starter. On Tuesday, Eubanks could have added fantasy value again, although it will be a challenging matchup against a Nuggets team that allows the fourth-fewest points in the league to centers. Additionally, Nikola Jokic's crew holds the ninth-highest rebounding rate.

Domantas Sabonis Questionable for Sunday vs. Timberwolves

Sacramento Kings center Domantas Sabonis (rib) is listed as questionable versus the Timberwolves. He's dealing with a left ribcage contusion, missing the last two games against Golden State and Oklahoma City. If he returns, expect lighter minutes and less physical play inside as Sacramento eases him back, which could slightly cap his usual scoring and playmaking numbers. If Sabonis remains out, Drew Eubanks profiles as a short-term streamer for boards and defensive stats, while Russell Westbrook, DeMar DeRozan, and Zach LaVine should handle most of the scoring and playmaking. Newly signed forward Precious Achiuwa logged only nine minutes in his Kings debut, finishing with four points, four rebounds, and one steal, but he's worth a spot on watch lists in deeper formats if Sabonis remains out longer than expected.
