Sacramento Kings forward Trey Lyles (ankle) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Detroit Pistons. The 28-year-old is battling a sprained right ankle, keeping him out of the lineup for Sunday's loss to the New Orleans Pelicans. Lyles hasn't been a consistent fantasy producer this season. However, he's a critical component of the Kings' rotation. But if Lyles misses another contest, it will at least open up more minutes for Sasha Vezenkov, who had 11 points on Sunday against the Pelicans.
Sacramento Kings forward/center Domantas Sabonis continued to roll on Friday against Toronto, completing a 135-130 victory with a second consecutive triple-double. After posting a 22-23-12 line against Orlando, Sabonis amassed 24 points, 15 rebounds, and 11 assists with 11-for-16 shooting. It's his third triple-double in four games. The three-time All-Star has been playing some of the best basketball of his career lately, although Sabonis has also turned into a turnover machine. He had six of them on Friday and is averaging a whopping 7.7 turnovers for January. We should see him continue to dominate in upcoming games, as several favorable matchups are coming up for Sabonis.
San Antonio Spurs forward Doug McDermott (forearm) is out for Thursday's game versus the Milwaukee Bucks. McDermott is dealing with a right forearm contusion, which should leave him day-to-day ahead of Sunday's action on the road against the Cleveland Cavaliers. The 31-year-old marksman is one of the best shooters in the Association, as evidenced by a career-high 44.2% success rate over his 3.6 attempts from long range per game this season, but McDermott's poor defense has yet to allow him to exceed 24 minutes played in any of his 31 appearances. Julian Champagnie and Cedi Osman should absorb a bit more playing time on Thursday's small two-game slate, but it likely won't be enough for a huge impact in fantasy hoops.
