Sacramento Kings

Minnesota Timberwolves guard Jordan McLaughlin (illness) is listed as questionable ahead of Thursday's game against the Indiana Pacers. McLaughlin is in danger of missing two straight games due to an illness. If he sits, Monte Morris will be asked to be the primary backup guard for Thursday's game. It would be an increased role for him but probably not enough to warrant streaming in most fantasy formats.

Indiana Pacers forward Doug McDermott (calf) will be unavailable for a fifth consecutive game on Thursday against Minnesota. The 32-year-old sharpshooter is trying to recover from a right calf strain. The Pacers miss McDermott's ability to stretch the floor, but his return to Indianapolis hasn't gone well. McDermott has been limited to only 3.2 points in 11.0 minutes across six games, with his three-point percentage dropping to 20. Muscle strains usually take 2-3 weeks to heal, so it wouldn't be surprising to see McDermott miss further time.

Sacramento Kings guard De'Aaron Fox (knee) will play against the Chicago Bulls on Monday. The star guard will make his return to the court after missing each of the last two games due to a left knee contusion. Fox was able to practice on Sunday without issues, so he should be fully cleared for this game. His return means that Keon Ellis and Davion Mitchell will have decreased roles in the rotation. Both players will be difficult to trust, but Fox can be plugged back into fantasy lineups.

Sacramento Kings guard De'Aaron Fox (knee) was a full participant during Sunday's practice session. Fox has missed two straight games and is currently considered questionable for Monday's game versus the Chicago Bulls. Davion Mitchell and Keon Ellis each started a game in the absence of Fox. Mitchell did little with his opportunity, but Ellis made the most of it with four steals and seven assists. That being said, Ellis appears to be the better streaming choice between the two if Fox is forced to miss this game.

Sacramento Kings guard De'Aaron Fox (knee) is unavailable Friday against Minnesota. On Monday night, he suffered a knee contusion in a loss to Miami, and he didn't play in Wednesday's contest against Denver. Chris Duarte scored 18 points in 26 minutes, meaning he will see plenty of playing time and attention from fantasy managers with Fox out. The 26-year-old point guard Fox will be missed against the Timberwolves as he has averaged 26.9 points per game in 51 regular season contests.
