Sacramento Kings DVOA, Stats, & NBA Rankings

Chicago Bulls guard Zach LaVine (foot, shoulder) was already listed as probable, so it's not a surprise that he was upgraded to active ahead of the team's Monday night game against the Charlotte Hornets. The team seems to be in limbo when it comes to playing or resting him, so they can still get maximum trade value before the deadline. LaVine came off of the bench in their last game on Friday, which was against the Hornets as well. He still played just under 30 minutes and posted 15 points, five rebounds, four assists, and two turnovers. Since he'll be on the floor, he should still be in fantasy lineups, but it seems his peak fantasy value won't be back until he's traded.

Orlando Magic guard Markelle Fultz (knee) is available ahead of Sunday's game against the Atlanta Hawks. This is great news after Fultz has missed most of the season due to a lingering knee issue. In fact, Fultz has only played in five games this season, but appears ready to go now. The expectation is that Fultz will be under a heavy minutes limit until he's back to full speed. He'll come off the bench on Sunday and won't be a reliable fantasy option until he's back to starting again.

Chicago Bulls guard Zach LaVine (foot) is expected to play on Monday against Charlotte. The 28-year-old had been sidelined for over a month because of a foot issue. But he returned on Friday versus the Hornets, the first of a back-to-back between the clubs, and finished with 15 points, five rebounds, and four assists. It still hasn't been reported if LaVine will return to the starting lineup. However, he remains a must-start even if he doesn't, considering there's a good chance he'll play better after shaking off any residual rust on Friday caused by the lengthy layoff.

Sacramento Kings forward/center Domantas Sabonis continued to roll on Friday against Toronto, completing a 135-130 victory with a second consecutive triple-double. After posting a 22-23-12 line against Orlando, Sabonis amassed 24 points, 15 rebounds, and 11 assists with 11-for-16 shooting. It's his third triple-double in four games. The three-time All-Star has been playing some of the best basketball of his career lately, although Sabonis has also turned into a turnover machine. He had six of them on Friday and is averaging a whopping 7.7 turnovers for January. We should see him continue to dominate in upcoming games, as several favorable matchups are coming up for Sabonis.

Chicago Bulls guard Zach LaVine (foot) will make his return to the court ahead of Friday's game against the Charlotte Hornets. The star guard is back in the mix after a 17-game absence. That being said, LaVine will have a minutes limit during Friday's game. LaVine has been the center of trade talk lately, so it's unknown how long he'll really remain in Chicago. For the time being, Coby White and Patrick Williams will see decreased roles with LaVine back in the rotation. White has been playing well lately and should remain rostered despite LaVine's return. Fantasy managers in season-long formats can get LaVine back in their lineups on Friday.
