Sacramento Kings DVOA, Stats, & NBA Rankings

Orlando Magic guards Jalen Suggs (thigh) and Markelle Fultz (knee) have been ruled out for Sunday's matchup against Indiana. Suggs misses a second consecutive game with a right thigh contusion, while Fultz drops out of the lineup with a left knee strain. Both players were initially regarded as questionable for the contest. The backcourt absentees should provide a big boost to Cole Anthony in a very attractive matchup against an up-tempo team that doesn't defend well. Anthony Black and Gary Harris also have a chance to play larger roles, but they tend to be quite unproductive with their minutes on the court.

Orlando Magic guard Markelle Fultz (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Indiana Pacers with a left knee strain. The 25-year-old has had a difficult season, playing in just 27 of the team's 64 games because of injury woes. Fultz tweaked his knee in Friday's game against the New York Knicks and has had issues with it throughout the season. Orlando's starting point guard, Jalen Suggs (thigh), is also listed as questionable to add more concern for Sunday's game. Cole Anthony, Gary Harris, and Anthony Black are the key Magic players to get increased time and usage if Fultz is forced to miss the game.

Sacramento Kings center Domantas Sabonis was one assist shy of his 23rd triple-double this season but was still able to lead the team to a two-point win over the San Antonio Spurs on Thursday. Sabonis has been one of the most impressive players in the league this year but has constantly been overlooked just like he was for the NBA All-Star game. In this game, he finished with 31 points, 17 rebounds, nine assists, one steal, one block, and four turnovers while cashing in on 14 of his 19 field goal attempts. He now has 58 double-doubles and 23 games of 15 or more rebounds this season. He'll be a sleeper fantasy league winner this season after coming in as a second-round pick according to his ADP.

Milwaukee Bucks forward Jae Crowder (knee) is available ahead of Wednesday's game against the Golden State Warriors. The veteran forward was uncertain coming into this game due to a left knee contusion. However, Crowder feels good enough to play and should resume his role in the starting five. Crowder has been seeing an increase in playing time lately with Khris Middleton (ankle) still out. That being said, Crowder should continue to have increased value until Middleton is able to get back on the court.

Indiana Pacers forward Doug McDermott (calf) will be unavailable for a fifth consecutive game on Thursday against Minnesota. The 32-year-old sharpshooter is trying to recover from a right calf strain. The Pacers miss McDermott's ability to stretch the floor, but his return to Indianapolis hasn't gone well. McDermott has been limited to only 3.2 points in 11.0 minutes across six games, with his three-point percentage dropping to 20. Muscle strains usually take 2-3 weeks to heal, so it wouldn't be surprising to see McDermott miss further time.
