Sacramento Kings DVOA, Stats, & NBA Rankings

Sacramento Kings guard Keon Ellis is joining the starting five for the second consecutive game. This time, he'll be replacing Kevin Huerter (leg) in the starting lineup after taking Keegan Murray's spot the game before. Ellis was able to post seven points, four rebounds, two assists, three steals, and one turnover while shooting 3-for-4 from the floor and 1-for-2 from downtown. Despite getting the starting nod, Ellis is a risky streaming option for those fantasy managers who are in shallower leagues. Better options are out there for guard stats. Plus, with Murray back, that will likely take the ball out of Ellis' hands a bit more.

Sacramento Kings forward Trey Lyles (knee) won't play on Wednesday against the Lakers. He sprained his left knee on Tuesday in the win over the Milwaukee Bucks, ending his night after logging only eight minutes. The 28-year-old has averaged 7.1 points and 4.4 rebounds this season. While he has a stable spot in the Kings' rotation, he is rarely productive for fantasy managers. But Lyles' absence could at least open up more minutes for Harrison Barnes, who had 16 points, six rebounds, and one steal on Tuesday.

Sacramento Kings forward Keegan Murray (ankle) will play on Wednesday against the Lakers. Murray sprained his left ankle during Sunday's meeting with Houston and didn't suit up on Tuesday versus Milwaukee. He was listed as questionable heading into this contest. However, he'll return after missing just one game. Of course, Murray should always be featured in any fantasy lineup. But his return may mean fewer minutes (and production) for Harrison Barnes, who had 16 points, six boards, and a steal on Tuesday night.

Sacramento Kings forward Keegan Murray (ankle) won't suit up on Tuesday versus the Milwaukee Bucks. The 23-year-old tweaked his ankle during Sunday's meeting with the Houston Rockets. He had been labeled as questionable throughout Tuesday. However, most fantasy managers weren't expecting him to be on the floor. Of course, with Murray absent, the door is open for Trey Lyles and Harrison Barnes to get more work. As a result, both men are viable streaming options in any fantasy setup.

Sacramento Kings forward Keegan Murray (ankle) could miss his fifth game of the season on Tuesday versus Milwaukee, as he has landed on the injury report as questionable. The 23-year-old sharpshooter injured his left ankle against Houston on Sunday. Murray was able to get through Monday's practice fully, so he actually might be closer to probable than questionable for the game. The former Iowa Hawkeye has been in a bit of a slump lately, averaging only 10.2 points. His last game against the Bucks went miserably as well, as Murray was limited to only four points, so he might not be a strong fantasy play on Tuesday even if he suits up. Murray's absence would put Trey Lyles and Harrison Barnes in a position to log extended minutes.
