Sacramento Kings DVOA, Stats, & NBA Rankings

Sacramento Kings big man Domantas Sabonis (illness) did not practice Wednesday, and his status is in doubt for the team's game on Thursday against the Spurs. The 27-year-old's absence is concerning for his availability on Thursday, and it will be a situation worth monitoring up until game time. If Sabonis can't play, Trey Lyles, JaVale McGee, and Alex Len could potentially see increased minutes. Sabonis is averaging 20.1 points, 13.2 rebounds, and 8.3 assists in 35 minutes per game this season, and his absence would be a huge loss for the Kings.

Orlando Magic guard Markelle Fultz (knee) will sit out Wednesday's contest versus the New York Knicks. The Magic will keep Fultz out on the second half of their back-to-back to manage the left knee that put the former No. 1 overall pick on the shelf for nearly two months between November and January. Fultz will almost certainly be ready to return to the court in Feb. 22's battle with the Cleveland Cavaliers. Gary Harris (calf) is also unavailable, and although Anthony Black has started in most occurrences with Fultz off the floor, the first-round rookie hasn't been particularly productive with the first unit. Jonathan Isaac and Cole Anthony could be in for expanded roles from the bench, while Orlando should rely more heavily on Jalen Suggs, but it's a rigid matchup all around against a Knicks team that's giving up the third-fewest points per game (109.8) this year.

Sacramento Kings forward Trey Lyles (illness) has been ruled out ahead of Tuesday's game against the Phoenix Suns. The veteran forward will sit this one out after being listed as questionable heading into the contest. Fellow forward Sasha Vezenkov (ankle) will also be sidelined during this game. That means Harrison Barnes and Keegan Murray will likely be forced to play heavy minutes on Tuesday. Possibly, Chris Duarte sees an increased role, but he hasn't done enough to trust him as a streaming option.

Memphis Grizzlies forward Jake LaRavia (ankle) will miss a 12th consecutive game on Tuesday against the Knicks. He hurt his left ankle in the same matchup on Jan. 13 and was diagnosed with a Grade 2 high ankle sprain. The 22-year-old was set to be re-evaluated by the team in three weeks, but there haven't been any updates on LaRavia's status. Memphis could really use an extra body right now, as the team rolled with only eight players against Boston on Sunday.

Chicago Bulls guard Zach LaVine (foot) won't suit up again this season as he's decided to undergo season-ending surgery. LaVine has missed the last six games due to a right foot issue. Earlier in the day it was announced LaVine would miss another week, but now the team has decided to shut him down for the season. The Bulls have given LaVine a four-to-six-month recovery timetable. That being said, LaVine should be ready in time for training camp. In the meantime, Ayo Dosunmu and Alex Caruso should continue seeing big roles in the rotation. Between the two, Dosunmu is probably the better streaming option, but both players should hold decent value.
