Sacramento Kings DVOA, Stats, & NBA Rankings

According to Sean Cunningham of Fox 40 Sacramento, Sacramento Kings forwardKeegan Murray(ankle)is available to suit up for Thursday's matchup with the Los Angeles Lakers. Murray missed his first game of the season on Monday and didn't practice Wednesday due to a sore left ankle. In the last 10 games, the 24-year-old has been a key contributor on the floor, averaging 12.0 points, 7.1 rebounds, 1.2 blocks, and 1.0 assists across 35.2 minutes.

According to Fox 40 Sacramento's Sean Cunningham, Sacramento Kings centerDomantas Sabonis(back) is available to suit up against the Lakers on Thursday. Sabonis has been dealing with a back contusion and was listed as questionable on the King's injury report earlier in the day. The 28-year-old has significantly impacted fantasy, recently registering averages of 23 points, 13.1 rebounds, 5.4 assists and 1.1 steals in 35.1 minutes during his last 10 outings.

Sacramento Kings center Domantas Sabonis (back) is questionable for Thursday's matchup against the Lakers. He didn't practice on Wednesday and has landed on the injury report with a back contusion. Sabonis has previously missed two games this season, with Trey Lyles (calf) filling in for him in the starting unit. Lyles has sat out nine games with a calf injury but is expected to return to the lineup on Thursday. He averaged 14.5 points, 6.5 rebounds, and 2.5 assists as a starter when Sabonis was out earlier in the season.

Sacramento Kings forward Trey Lyles (calf) fully participated in Wednesday's practice, and there's a chance he could be available for Thursday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers. If either Domantas Sabonis or Keegan Murray can't play, Lyles could see a larger role in the frontcourt. He's shown his fantasy potential before, like when he posted 12 points and 10 rebounds in a double-double against the Atlanta Hawks on November 18th. Fantasy managers should check for updates as Thursday's game approaches to see if Lyles takes on a bigger role.

Sacramento Kings forward Keegan Murray (ankle) did not practice Wednesday as he continues to deal with left ankle soreness. Murray missed his first game of the season on Monday, and his status for Thursday's matchup against the Lakers remains uncertain. Fantasy managers should monitor updates as more clarity emerges. The 24-year-old has been a key contributor for the Kings this season, averaging 36.2 minutes, 12.4 points, and 7.7 rebounds per game, so his absence could open up opportunities for Keon Ellis and Doug McDermott.
