Sacramento Kings DVOA, Stats, & NBA Rankings

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.

Chicago Bulls guard Zach LaVine (foot) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Charlotte Hornets. It sounds like the star guard is closing in on a return after missing weeks of action due to right foot inflammation. If he's cleared, LaVine would likely be under a heavy minutes limit for the first few games. His return would mean Coby White and Patrick Williams would take a hit in playing time and fantasy value. Fantasy managers will need to check back ahead of Friday's game for more information on LaVine's status.

San Antonio Spurs forward Doug McDermott (forearm) is out for Thursday's game versus the Milwaukee Bucks. McDermott is dealing with a right forearm contusion, which should leave him day-to-day ahead of Sunday's action on the road against the Cleveland Cavaliers. The 31-year-old marksman is one of the best shooters in the Association, as evidenced by a career-high 44.2% success rate over his 3.6 attempts from long range per game this season, but McDermott's poor defense has yet to allow him to exceed 24 minutes played in any of his 31 appearances. Julian Champagnie and Cedi Osman should absorb a bit more playing time on Thursday's small two-game slate, but it likely won't be enough for a huge impact in fantasy hoops.

Orlando Magic guard Markelle Fultz (knee) is listed as out once again for Wednesday's game against the Sacramento Kings. Head coach Jamahl Mosley shared last Friday that Fultz is "progressing slowly" from nagging tendinitis in his surgically repaired left knee despite practicing for the past two weeks. It's anyone's guess whether Fultz will be able to return from a nearly two-month absence when the Magic wrap up a four-game Western Conference swing in Friday's showdown with the Denver Nuggets. The 25-year-old playmaker is generating 11.4 points on 48.2% field-goal shooting, 4.0 assists, and 1.2 steals per game and remains worth holding in fantasy leagues at this stage of his recovery. Defensive menace Anthony Black continues to start in Orlando's backcourt, but Jalen Suggs and the streaky Cole Anthony are still the guards to roster while Fultz sits out.
