Sacramento Kings DVOA, Stats, & NBA Rankings

Chicago Bulls guard Zach LaVine (personal) has been ruled out against the Toronto Raptors on Friday due to personal reasons. LaVine and his wife are set to welcome their third child, so he didn't travel with the team. Ayo Dosunmu joined the starting five during their last game against the Boston Celtics and put up 12 points, four rebounds, four assists, and one steal. Coby White also saw an uptick in minutes and offensive opportunities. Matas Buzelis and Patrick Williams are likely more widely available across fantasy leagues, but they've been more inconsistent than the former two.

Sacramento Kings forward Doug McDermott (illness) will not play in Wednesday's contest against the Philadelphia 76ers. The veteran sharpshooter was a late addition to the injury report with an illness. McDermott's absence takes away a three-point threat from Sacramento, but he has played a minimal role in the rotation and shouldn't be a big miss. This also won't impact fantasy basketball. Following Wednesday night, the Kings will have a few off days, so McDermott could be back in game shape by the time Saturday's matchup against the Oklahoma City Thunder comes around.

Sacramento Kings center Domantas Sabonis remained in triple-double mood in Monday's matchup against the Brooklyn Nets, finishing a 110-96 victory with 21 points, 22 rebounds, and 10 assists. Sabonis, who shot 8-for-10 from the field Monday, has now posted triple-doubles in back-to-back outings for the first time this season. He boasts seven triple-doubles for the campaign, tying him for the third-most in the league, behind LeBron James (9) and Nikola Jokic (21). In his next outing, Sabonis has a chance to extend his triple-double streak to three games against a Joel Embiid-less Philadelphia 76ers team. He last managed more than two triple-doubles on the bounce in February 2024.

Chicago Bulls guard/forward Zach LaVine (personal) is expected to miss some time. Following Monday's impressive victory over the Denver Nuggets, Bulls head coach Billy Donovan told reporters LaVine will be out for "a few games." He has left the team for personal reasons. K.C. Johnson of the Chicago Sports Network has noted that LaVine's wife is close to having their third child. LaVine's absence might open the door for Patrick Williams to return to the starting lineup. His streak of 20 consecutive starts came to an end on Monday, but Williams played well off the bench. He bagged 11 points with eight rebounds, three assists, and one steal.

Memphis Grizzlies forward Jake LaRavia (back) will be active against the New York Knicks on Monday. The 23-year-old has overcome a back problem that forced LaRavia to miss three games. LaRavia has had a few good performances in 2024-25 but tends to be inconsistent. He averaged 7.8 points, 4.4 rebounds, and 3.1 assists for the campaign. With Marcus Smart (finger) currently the only regular rotation player absent for the Grizzlies, LaRavia is unlikely to have a significant role in Monday's contest.
