Sacramento Kings DVOA, Stats, & NBA Rankings

Sacramento Kings guard/forward Malik Monk could face a long absence after he injured his right knee in Friday's matchup against Dallas. According to The Athletic's Shams Charania, there are fears Monk might have suffered a sprained MCL. With him in fantastic form off the Kings bench, Vegas has made Monk the odds-on favorite to with the Sixth Man of the Year Award this season. He's tallied 15.4 points, 2.9 rebounds, and 5.1 assists in 26.0 minutes. The Kings have also recently lost Kevin Huerter (shoulder) for the rest of the season. The backcourt injured should give Davion Mitchell and Chris Duarte more playing opportunities.

Orlando Magic guard Markelle Fultz (knee) has been downgraded to out for Friday's matchup against the Clippers. He was listed as questionable on the initial injury report. Orlando continues to manage Fultz's left knee injury, and we should see him back in the lineup on Saturday as the team completes a back-to-back against Memphis. Fultz started the last game against Golden State, and Gary Harris, who is available again after missing two games with a foot injury, will be his replacement in the first unit. Harris doesn't offer a lot of fantasy value, averaging 8.5 points, 1.7 rebounds, and 1.4 assists in a starting role.

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.
