Sacramento Kings DVOA, Stats, & NBA Rankings

Chicago Bulls guard/forward Zach LaVine (ankle) is expected to miss at least one more week of action. He will sit out a seventh consecutive contest on Saturday against Sacramento. Ayo Dosunmu has taken on a big workload during LaVine's absence, while Alex Caruso has also benefited from the situation. The two could even get a further boost on Saturday, along with Jevon Carter, as Coby White (ankle) is considered questionable and might sit out his first game of the season.

Orlando Magic guard Markelle Fultz (knee) and forward Jonathan Isaac (rest) are off the injury report for Wednesday's tilt against the San Antonio Spurs. The Magic used Monday's narrow defeat to the Dallas Mavericks as a maintenance day for the injured left knee of Fultz, who is set to return to Orlando's starting lineup on Wednesday. Isaac started against Dallas but exited following eight minutes of play with an undisclosed injury, and he is slated to be available off the bench against the Spurs.

Chicago Bulls guard Zach LaVine has seemingly been a part of trade rumors for a couple of years now. This season, especially, has brought more and more rumors surrounding the Bulls' asking price and teams that LaVine could actually fit on. The Detroit Pistons are the latest team to engage in trade discussions, but they are unwilling to move any of their "blue chip" prospects which includes Cade Cunningham, Jalen Duren, Jaden Ivey, and Ausar Thompson. On the other side of the deal, the Bulls are asking for Bojan Bogdanovic and one of those four players to get a deal done. According to James Edwards of The Athletic, these discussions will continue internally for now.

Orlando Magic guard Markelle Fultz (knee) is off the injury report ahead of Friday's contest versus the Memphis Grizzlies. The Magic managed Fultz's injured left knee in Monday's loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers, but he'll get back in the mix on Friday. Since returning from a two-month absence, the former No. 1 overall pick is averaging 6.0 points, 3.4 assists, 2.7 rebounds, and 1.1 steals covering his past seven games. Fultz is an option to start in Orlando's backcourt alongside Jalen Suggs, likely pushing Anthony Black to the bench.

Orlando Magic guard Markelle Fultz (knee) will get the night off on Monday versus the Cleveland Cavaliers after recently returning from a long layoff. The Magic are managing Fultz's surgically-repaired left knee, which caused the former No. 1 overall pick to miss two months of action between November and January because of lingering tendinitis. Orlando is off until Friday when they visit the Memphis Grizzlies, so that should provide Fultz enough time to return to the court. With Gary Harris (calf) still out, Cole Anthony (ankle), who is off Monday's injury report after tweaking his ankle in Sunday's win over the Miami Heat, and Jalen Suggs will handle the bulk of the minutes in the backcourt. Defensive-minded rookie Anthony Black is an option to enter the starting lineup, but this game presents the lowest implied point total (215.5) on Monday's eight-game slate.
