Fox amassed 18 points (6-18 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 4-4 FT), five rebounds, three assists and two steals in 32 minutes during Tuesday's 132-96 loss to the Mavericks. Fox struggled with his shot against the Mavericks, who had the right defensive formula to contain the Kings' offensive attack. During the first half, Luka Doncic floated to where he was most needed and pestered Fox during the first two quarters. Fox was also ineffective in the fourth quarter without Doncic's involvement as he failed to score over six minutes in the final stanza.
Sabonis chipped in 12 points (3-10 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 6-8 FT), 11 rebounds, nine assists and two blocks in 31 minutes during Tuesday's 132-96 loss to the Mavericks. Despite the Kings' poor showing, Sabonis managed his 55th consecutive double-double, breaking another record by matching Jerry Lucas for the longest double-double streak in the history of the franchise. Dallas was well aware of Sabonis' potential and crowded him in the paint often, which resulted in a lower shot volume for the underrated big man. Despite popular opinion, Sabonis' season merits MVP consideration, as the Kings would likely be out of the playoff hunt without him.
Vezenkov (ankle) will not play Tuesday against the Mavericks, Brenden Nunes of KHTK Sactown Sports 1140 reports. Vezenkov hasn't played since early February but is ramping up towards a return. His next chance to play will be Friday in a rematch versus Dallas.
Vezenkov (ankle) is questionable for Tuesday's game against Dallas. Vezenkov hasn't played since early February due to a right ankle sprain, and it's unclear whether he'll be able to suit up in the second half of a back-to-back set Tuesday. If he's cleared to play, it wouldn't be surprising to see his playing time monitored.
Mitchell closed with 18 points (6-9 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 3-4 FT) and two rebounds in 25 minutes during Monday's 108-96 victory over the 76ers. The Kings have had to contend with Kevin Huerter's (shoulder) season-ending injury, and while Keon Ellis has played the fill-in role with the first unit, Mitchell is in line for a minutes increase as the regular season draws to a close. Malik Monk is probably the best candidate for boosted production in this scenario, but the former Baylor Bear deserves some fantasy consideration after lingering on the bench for most of the season.
Murray supplied 23 points (9-20 FG, 3-11 3Pt, 2-3 FT), three rebounds, four assists, one block and one steal across 38 minutes during Monday's 108-96 win over Philadelphia. Murray suffered through a 10-game streak where he failed to exceed 20 points, but he kept the production going after breaking the slump Saturday night against Orlando. Although his numbers since the All-Star break have been less than ideal, the Iowa product can pop with a decent number occasionally. The Kings' stock has dropped due to a lack of support for Domantas Sabonis and De'Aaron Fox in recent weeks, but Murray's solid effort was an encouraging sign of progress.
Sabonis ended with 11 points (3-5 FG, 5-8 FT), 13 rebounds, 10 assists and one block in 33 minutes during Monday's 108-96 win over Philadelphia. Sabonis joined an exclusive group with his 25th triple-double of the season, a feat achieved by only four other players in NBA history. Sabonis' 54th consecutive double-double set another record, as his effort broke a tie with Kevin Love for the longest streak since the NBA/ABA merger. Despite his historic season, Sabonis is getting little respect as an MVP candidate, and his All-Star snub this season can easily be described as an oversight. Sabonis and Nikola Jokic have both been consistent fantasy standouts, and Sabonis has outproduced the presumptive MVP in several categories.
Vezenkov (ankle) has been ruled out for Monday's game against Philadelphia, Jason Anderson of The Sacramento Bee reports. Vezenkov's next opportunity to take the court comes Tuesday versus Dallas when Sacramento closes out a back-to-back set. Vezenkov hasn't suited up since Feb. 9.
