DeMar DeRozan

DeMar DeRozan led the Kings offense Tuesday night, scoring 37 points (12-18 FG, 0-3 3PT, 13-15 FT) while also dishing out eight assists and grabbing three rebounds in a 136-127 loss to the Pistons.

DeRozan continues a solid stretch on both ends of the floor, finishing with one or more assist, three or more rebounds, and 15 or more points in each of his last five games. The veteran forward has been one of many frustrating options as part of an inconsistent Sacramento starting five for head coach Doug Christie, averaging 19.0 points per game to go along with a usage rate of 20.1% so far this season.

DeMar DeRozan delivered one of his strongest performances of the season during Thursday's loss to Portland, amassing 33 points on 10-of-16 shooting from the field and a perfect 10-of-10 from the line. He filled out his line with four rebounds, three assists, two steals, and three three-pointers.

The veteran wing was particularly effective from deep, knocking down 3-of-4 attempts. While the three-ball remains a small part of his game, DeRozan is shooting a career-high percentage from beyond the arc this season (over 40 percent on just over two attempts per game). His elite efficiency and all-around production suggest he is capable of pushing for top-50 value as the season progresses.

DeMar DeRozan scored 17 points (8-15 FG, 1-1 3PT) with four rebounds, three assists, one block and one steal in Sunday's 117-103 loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves.

Fantasy Impact

Despite scoring just 20 points over his last five games, DeRozan has been extremely efficient, shooting 52.5% from the floor and 42.9% from deep. He’s been more selective with his shots and will look to continue his strong play in Thursday’s game against the Portland Trail Blazers. He would likely see an increase in usage if Zach LaVine (ankle), who left Sunday’s game early, is unable to play.

DeMar DeRozan scored 20 points (8-16 FG, 0-2 3PT, 4-5 FT) to go along with five rebounds, three assists and one steal in the Kings 116-105 loss against the Pacers.

Fantasy Impact

DeRozan shot efficiently on Saturday despite his recent struggles as a scorer. It has not been the strongest season for him overall so far this year. He'll have a couple days off to get back on track.

DeMar DeRozan filled the stat sheet for the Kings Saturday night, dishing out six assists, recording two steals, grabbing six rebounds, and chipping in 13 points (6-11 FG, 1-2 3PT, 0-1 FT) in a 127-111 win over the Heat.

Fantasy Impact

DeRozan continues a modest stretch on both ends of the floor, finishing with one or more rebounds and 12 or more points in each of his last five games. The veteran forward continues to offer fantasy managers one of many frustrating options as part of an underwhelming Sacramento starting five, averaging 17.9 points, 3.5 assists, and 3.0 rebounds per game to go along with a 20.0% usage rate so far this season.
