Zach LaVine

Zach LaVine is opting into his $49 million player option for the Sacramento Kings. LaVine decided to take the money rather than become a free agent.

Fantasy Impact

LaVine’s value is fairly low, so the move makes sense for him. He should have a fairly large role on the Kings bereft of talent roster. He’ll be fine for fantasy, but much of his value will come via scoring than elsewhere, so on off nights it might be a little rough.

Zach LaVine (hand) will undergo season ending surgery on his right hand after the All-Star break.

Fantasy Impact

The Kings season just finds ways to reach new lows. LaVine’s surgery will put Nique Clifford to the top of the depth chart with Malik Monk out. The Kings will be scraping the waiver wire for depth with so many players out. As for LaVine, he will look to rebuild his value next year.

Zach LaVine (finger) won't play in Wednesday night's game against the Utah Jazz.

Fantasy Impact

The veteran will miss a third-straight game on Wednesday night as he continues to recover from a finger injury. Malik Monk (illness) and Russell Westbrook III (ankle) are both set to be sidelined as well, which will leave Devin Carter with a large workload against the Jazz.

Zach LaVine has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Pelicans.

Fantasy Impact

LaVine will miss a second straight game with a sore right finger. Nique Clifford and Daeqwon Plowden should both see another spot start.

Zach LaVine dropped 35 points (13-26 FG, 4-10 3PT, 5-5 FT) and grabbed six rebounds in Sunday's 116-112 loss to the Washington Wizards.

Fantasy Impact

LaVine was the leading scorer for the Kings on Sunday, but he wasn't able to lead them to a win over the Wizards, and they suffered a narrow loss at the hands of one of the worst teams in the league. The veteran himself is having a decent enough year, but his talent is not translating to any success for this team as a whole.
