Kevin Huerter DVOA, Advanced Stats, & Fantasy Rankings

According to ESPN's Shams Charania, the Bulls, Kings, and Spurs agreed to a three-team trade on Sunday, resulting in guard Kevin Huerter, guard Tre Jones, and forward/center Zach Collins heading to Chicago. Also included in the trade; the Kings will acquire guard Zach LaVine and guard Sidy Cissoko, with the Spurs obtaining guard De'Aaron Fox and guard Jordan McLaughlin. Huerter played in Atlanta for four seasons before most recently suiting up for the Kings. He had the best year of his career in 2022-23, averaging 15.2 points and 40.2% shooting from behind the arc. However, the 2018 No. 19 overall pick has struggled since then, and he was also limited to 64 games last season due to a shoulder injury. But with Chicago now without LaVine, there is room in the lineup for others to step up. While LaVine's departure likely means Coby White, Josh Giddey, Ayo Dosunmu, and Nikola Vucevic (assuming he remains on the roster) will see more scoring opportunities, Huerter has an excellent chance of being more productive as long as he remains healthy.

Fox 40 Sacramento's Sean Cunningham reported that Sacramento Kings guardKevin Huerter(shoulder) is available for Thursday's matchup with the Los Angeles Lakers. The 26-year-old had been listed as questionable earlier on Thursday due to a left shoulder strain, but he has since been upgraded to available after missing the Kings last game. Huerter is likely not a strong fantasy option this evening, averaging only 9.9 points per game, his lowest since his rookie season seven years ago.

Sacramento Kings guard Kevin Huerter (shoulder) is uncertain for Thursday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers due to a shoulder sprain. It's unclear how he will be labeled on the injury report, so fantasy managers should check for an update on Thursday. Huerter has been struggling with his shooting this season, posting a career-low 31.1% from beyond the arc and averaging only 9.9 points per game, his lowest since his rookie season. Hopefully, he can round back into form and stay healthy moving forward. If he is sidelined, Keon Ellis would likely see increased playing time.
