Sacramento Kings DVOA, Stats, & NBA Rankings

Orlando Magic guard Markelle Fultz (knee) remains out for Saturday's showdown with the Detroit Pistons. The 25-year-old will now miss his second consecutive game because of his nagging left knee injury, the same one that's him kept off the floor for 35 games throughout the 2023-24 campaign. Of course, Paolo Banchero and Franz Wagner are Orlando's top offensive options. But Cole Anthony has averaged 14.0 points, 4.1 rebounds, and 3.8 assists this season when Fultz doesn't play, so he's worth adding to all fantasy lineups.

Orlando Magic guard Markelle Fultz (knee) has been ruled out of the Saturday matchup against the Detroit Pistons. He hasn't been able to play in either one of the last two games for the Magic and he'll miss a third as he's being held out for injury maintenance reasons on his left knee. Fultz has only appeared in 21 games so far this year which is unfortunate after it seemed like he turned a corner last season when he was able to play in 60 games. With health factoring in, the 25-year-old seems to be falling out of favor in Orlando, so fantasy managers are better off looking elsewhere for the long term. As he's sidelined, Gary Harris, Jalen Suggs, and Anthony Black should continue to see most of the opportunities in the backcourt.

Sacramento Kings forward Domantas Sabonis (illness) has been upgraded to available ahead of Thursday's game against the San Antonio Spurs. The star forward is ready to go after being listed as questionable heading into this game. Sabonis has been red-hot with five triple-doubles in his last seven games. Fantasy managers better make sure Sabonis isn't on their bench ahead of this contest.

Sacramento Kings forward/center Domantas Sabonis (illness) is doubtful heading into Thursday's meeting with the Spurs. He didn't practice on Wednesday, so most had assumed things were moving in this direction. However, now that he's officially doubtful, fantasy managers should start making alternative arrangements. Nonetheless, De'Aaron Fox should take on more of the scoring load without Sabonis in the mix. But guys like Malik Monk, Keegan Murray, and Harrison Barnes should also benefit offensively.

Orlando Magic guard Markelle Fultz (knee) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. The 25-year-old missed the Magic's final game before the All-Star break and will continue to sit out as he manages his knee injury at the start of the stretch run. With Gary Harris (calf) also unavailable, Cole Anthony and Joe Ingles are expected to take on larger roles in Fultz's absence. Fultz has been averaging 8.4 points, 3.5 rebounds, and 3.7 assists in 24 minutes per game this season.
