Sacramento Kings DVOA, Stats, & NBA Rankings

Orlando Magic guard Markelle Fultz (knee) has been downgraded to out ahead of Tuesday's game against the Golden State Warriors. The young guard has missed over two months of action while he recovers from left knee tendinitis. The expectation is that Fultz is going to be heavily limited once he does eventually return to the court. In the meantime, Anthony Black will continue to start for the Magic. He usually doesn't bring much to the table, so most fantasy managers should be able to find a better streaming option.

Chicago Bulls head coach Billy Donovan said on Tuesday that there's been no setbacks with guard Zach LaVine (foot) from ramping up his workouts in the last few days. Donovan also "doesn't want to rule out" LaVine from returning as soon as Friday against the Charlotte Hornets, but that it is realistic he will be back within the next week. If LaVine can't get the green light to return on Friday from over a month on the shelf due to inflammation in his right foot, his next possible return date would arrive on Monday for a road rematch with Charlotte. With LaVine out for Chicago's two-game road trip, Alex Caruso remains very much worthy of a roster spot in nine-category fantasy leagues while playing top-100 ball this year. Patrick Williams has also seen a boost in production over 16 games without LaVine, supplying 13.8 points, 4.4 rebounds, and 1.8 threes per outing on 45.9% shooting from deep.

Orlando Magic guard Markelle Fultz (knee) is currently listed as questionable for Tuesday's game against the Golden State Warriors. The former top pick was tagged as questionable going into their last game and eventually sat out. Fultz has missed nearly two months of action due to left knee tendinitis. The expectation is he'll be under a heavy minutes limit, assuming he does play on Tuesday. In the meantime, Anthony Black should continue to start and have increased fantasy value until Fultz is ready to return.

Chicago Bulls head coach Billy Donovan says guard Zach LaVine (foot) will not travel with the team on their current two-game road trip, ruling him out until at least Friday versus the Charlotte Hornets. LaVine was ramping up as of last week as he works his way back from right foot irritation that's kept him on the shelf since Nov. 30. All fantasy managers can do is remain patient with the 28-year-old All-Star, who was netting 21.0 points, 3.4 assists, and 2.4 triples per game before the Bulls had to shut him down. Chicago has prevented their season from derailing in the meantime, but it remains to be seen if LaVine will remain in the Windy City after February's trade deadline. With Nikola Vucevic (groin) also unavailable for at least the next two nights, DeMar DeRozan and Coby White will be tasked with the heavy lifting offensively. Alex Caruso and Patrick Williams will also continue taking on extended run.
