Sacramento Kings DVOA, Stats, & NBA Rankings

According to Shams Charania of The Athletic, Chicago Bulls guard Zach LaVine (ankle) is expected to miss one-to-two weeks. The veteran sprained his right ankle during Thursday's matchup against the Toronto Raptors and underwent testing on Friday. Unfortunately, the news wasn't good, so Chicago will be without one of its top offensive contributors for the foreseeable future. Nonetheless, with LaVine's name mentioned in several trade scenarios, it's possible he may have already played his final game with the Bulls. That said, Ayo Dosunmu (shoulder), averaging 7.8 points, 3.7 boards, and 1.2 steals in six starts this season, is worth adding to any fantasy roster. However, the 24-year-old isn't always the most consistent fantasy producer.

Milwaukee Bucks forward Jae Crowder (core), who has been out for the last two months following core-muscle surgery, has been cleared to return to the team's lineup on Wednesday against the Cleveland Cavaliers. While Crowder's availability is unlikely to impact fantasy hoops right off the bat, it's worth noting that he's among Milwaukee's leaders in minutes per game (26.7) as an active presence on the defensive end and effective spot-up shooter on offense (51.6% three-point shooting over nine games). The 33-year-old journeyman's return is likely bad news for the sharpshooting Malik Beasley's wing minutes as the Bucks' fifth starter. Across 29 starts since Nov. 13, Beasley is averaging 13.1 points, 4.1 rebounds, and 3.4 threes on 50.0% shooting from deep in 30.6 minutes per game.

Sacramento Kings forward Keegan Murray (hip) is considered questionable for Tuesday's game against the Phoenix Suns. Murray was forced to exit early during Sunday's game due to a hip issue. His absence allowed Trey Lyles to move into the starting unit during the second half. Lyles figures to draw the start on Tuesday, assuming Murray is unable to play. Sasha Vezenkov would likely be his primary backup, but neither player has great streaming appeal.

Sacramento Kings forward Keegan Murray (hip) was forced to leave the team's Sunday night contest against the Milwaukee Bucks after playing just 19 minutes. He left the game with four points, one rebound, and one block while shooting 2-for-9 from the floor. The good news is this wasn't the same back issue he experienced earlier in the season. He was listed out with right hip irritation which seems like something that will need to be monitored to understand how much time he may miss. Trey Lyles saw the extra minutes in this game once Murray left and if he needs to miss any more time, he would be the first person to see added opportunities.

San Antonio Spurs forward Doug McDermott (ankle) has been ruled out ahead of Saturday's game against the Chicago Bulls. The veteran forward will sit this game out due to a right ankle sprain. It's the second game of a back-to-back set, so possibly the Spurs are just being cautious and the ankle issue isn't that serious. The expectation is that Cedi Osman and Keldon Johnson will see more playing time with McDermott ruled out. Both players could be possible low-end streaming options for Saturday's slate.
