• Malik Monk torches Grizzlies for game-high 28
    Malik Monk shot 10-of-19 from the field and 7-of-7 from the foul line in Monday’s win over Memphis, accumulating 28 points, six rebounds, six assists, and one 3-pointer in 39 minutes.

    Advice: With Kevin Huerter (shoulder) exiting after just two minutes, Monk became a player of even greater importance to the Kings. As he’s done on many occasions this season, the sixth man stepped up and showed why he should be considered the favorite to win Sixth Man of the Year. Monk got to his spots consistently, throwing down explosive dunks or knocking down shots in the mid-range. Monk has provided 6th-round value in 8- and 9-cat formats over the past two weeks, three rounds higher than his season-long value. Rotoworld 10 minutes ago
  • De’Aaron Fox tallies 23 points, 10 assists vs. MEM
    De’Aaron Fox played 43 minutes in Monday’s win over Memphis, finishing with 23 points (8-of-16 FGs, 3-of-4 FTs), seven rebounds, 10 assists, three steals, one block, and four 3-pointers.

    Advice: Fox has not failed to score at least 18 points in a game since February 11, when he dropped 15 in a loss to the Thunder. The scoring was there again on Monday, but the six turnovers removed a little luster from the overall stat line. Fox’s ten assists are the most he’s had in a game since March 4, when he hit that number in a loss to the Bulls. Over the past two weeks, he has provided top 20 per-game value in 8- and 9-cat formats. Sacramento hits the road for three more games in Week 21, beginning with the Raptors on Wednesday.

  • Domantas Sabonis drops 25/18/5/0/2 line vs. MEM
    Domantas Sabonis played 40 minutes in Monday’s 121-111 overtime win over Memphis, scoring 25 points (6-of-17 FGs, 13-of-15 FTs) with 18 rebounds, five assists, and two blocked shots.

    Advice: Sabonis struggled with his shooting, but the foul line bailed him out regarding the point total. The Kings center ultimately extended his double-double streak to 50 games with a dominant performance on the boards, with seven of his 18 rebounds coming on the offensive end of the floor. Over the past two weeks, Sabonis is ranked third in 8- and 9-cat formats, according to Basketball Monster. The continued dominance on the boards will keep him among the elite players in fantasy basketball, benefitting managers who have Sabonis rostered. Rotoworld 26 minutes ago
  • GG Jackson hits four 3-pointers, scores 22 points
    GG Jackson shot 8-of-13 from the field and 2-of-2 from the foul line in Monday’s loss to the Kings, scoring 22 points with seven rebounds, two steals, and four 3-pointers in 43 minutes.

    Advice: Jackson has started three straight and four of Memphis’ last five games and has been on an impressive run during this stretch. The rookie scored 19 or more in each appearance, providing top 100 per-game value in 9-cat formats over the past week. Jackson is rostered in 35% of Yahoo leagues, and that percentage should increase, even with the Grizzlies only playing two more games in Week 21. He should be safe from a potential shutdown before the end of the regular season. Rotoworld 33 minutes ago
  • Jaren Jackson Jr. tallies 25 points, four blocks
    Jaren Jackson Jr. played 39 minutes in Monday’s loss to the Kings, accumulating 25 points (8-of-27 FGs, 8-of-9 FTs), two rebounds, four assists, one steal, four blocks, and one 3-pointer.

    Advice: The good news for Jackson was that he recorded a full stat line and blocked four shots. The bad was that he didn’t shoot well, and the rebounding production (two) was subpar. While rebounding has not been a significant issue, JJJ has grabbed two in two of his last three games. That had to disappoint fantasy managers who have him rostered, even with the production in other categories. Ranked just outside the top 100 in 9-cat formats over the past two weeks, Jackson has struggled with availability recently. Hopefully, he can avoid the late-season shutdown that can happen to star players on struggling teams. Rotoworld 39 minutes ago
  • Desmond Bane posts 24/5/4/3 stat line vs. Kings
    Desmond Bane finished Monday’s 121-111 loss to the Kings with 24 points (7-of-19 FGs, 8-of-8 FTs), five rebounds, four assists, three steals, and two 3-pointers in 37 minutes.

    Advice: After playing 32 minutes in his first game back from a sprained ankle on Saturday, Bane logged 37 in Monday’s overtime loss. He’s had better nights shooting the basketball, but the rebound, assist, and steals production was encouraging. Given his talent level and the key contributors who aren’t available, Bane is well-positioned to provide high value in fantasy basketball. However, the possibility of him being shut down lingers. Hopefully, Bane can remain healthy and avoid that fate. The Grizzlies play two more road games in Week 21, beginning with the Warriors on Wednesday. Rotoworld 58 minutes ago
  • Klay Thompson scores 18 with a full stat line
    Klay Thompson accounted for 18 points (6-of-15 FGs, 1-of-1 FTs), two rebounds, eight assists, two steals, one block, and five 3-pointers in 31 minutes in Monday’s loss to the Knicks.

    Advice: Thompson has scored 18 or more in five of his last six games, with four of at least 21 points. The assist tally stands out from his performance against the Knicks, as he established a new season-high with eight assists. Between Stephen Curry, Chris Paul, and Draymond Green, there won’t be too many playmaking opportunities available to Thompson and the others. So a night like Monday should be viewed as a departure from the norm, as his last game with at least five assists was a February 22 win over the Lakers. Rotoworld Today, 10:48 pm
  • Dishes six dimes in defeat
    Forrest notched two points (1-2 FG), four rebounds and six assists over 22 minutes during Monday's 136-105 loss to the Lakers.

    Advice: Forrest got a little more run than usual due to the lopsided nature of the score, as his 22 minutes were his most of the campaign. The fourth-year guard wasn't aggressive as a shooter but did manage to finish second on the team with six assists. Forrest's opportunities have increased a bit since Trae Young went down with a finger injury in late February, but the former's production hasn't come closer to warranting fantasy attention.

  • Trayce Jackson-Davis posts 19/9/2/0/3 stat line
    Trayce Jackson-Davis played 26 minutes in Monday’s loss to the Knicks, scoring 19 points (9-of-9 FGs, 1-of-2 FTs) with nine rebounds, two assists, and three blocked shots.

    Advice: Jackson-Davis has locked down the backup center role, and the minutes have been good enough to make him a player worth rostering in more leagues. Over the past two weeks, TJD has provided 6th-round value in 9-cat formats while surpassing 20 minutes in five consecutive games. The Warriors find themselves fighting to avoid the Play-In Tournament, but the franchise has to be pleased with the play of its two draft picks. Jackson-Davis and Brandin Podziemski have established themselves as rotation players, giving the team a much-needed infusion of depth. Rotoworld Today, 10:38 pm
