Sacramento Kings DVOA, Stats, & NBA Rankings

Memphis Grizzlies forward Jake LaRavia (illness), previously listed as a game-time decision due to illness, will be available to play against the Denver Nuggets on Monday. Despite being sick, he is healthy enough to play. In his last five games, he has averaged 11.6 points, 5.4 rebounds, 1.8 assists, and 1.2 steals. Desmond Bane (back) and Lamar Stevens (adductor), listed as questionable earlier in the day, will also be suiting up.

Indiana Pacers forward Doug McDermott (calf) is available Wednesday against the Detroit Pistons. The veteran sharpshooter last played on February 26th and missed 10 consecutive contests due to a right calf strain. He has been average for the Pacers this season. When healthy, McDermott has averaged 4.7 points and 1.0 assists in 13.3 minutes per game during his last 18 outings. Coming back after missing a lengthy period, the 32-year-old will likely see limited minutes.

Indiana Pacers forward Doug McDermott (calf) is questionable Wednesday against the Detroit Pistons. He last played on February 26th, and he's in danger of missing 11 consecutive contests. However, him being listed as questionable instead of out is good news for Indiana. If the veteran forward cannot suit up due to a right calf strain, Jarace Walker, Obi Toppin and Ben Sheppard could see more playing time. Unfortunately, the four forwards aren't solid fantasy options for Wednesday's matchup.

Indiana Pacers forward Doug McDermott (calf) will remain out of the lineup on Monday versus Cleveland. We haven't seen the sharpshooter on the court since Feb. 26, and Monday will mark his 10th consecutive absence. With McDermott unavailable, Jarace Walker and Obi Toppin have a chance to earn more minutes as backup forwards, while Ben Sheppard also benefits off the bench. The latter has actually seen the biggest rise in playing time recently. Sheppard has yet to show good enough consistency to be regarded as a good fantasy option.

Indiana Pacers forward Doug McDermott (calf) will miss a ninth consecutive contest on Saturday against Brooklyn. The veteran sniper has returned to practice but isn't quite ready to get back to work yet following a calf strain. However, Pacers head coach Rick Carlisle has said that McDermott is getting close to his return, so he could be an option early next week. Obi Toppin and Jarace Walker are in a position to eat up a few more minutes without McDermott, with the former being the better fantasy option.
