Zach LaVine

Zach LaVine scored 18 points (5-11 FG, 3-6 3PT, 5-6 FT) and grabbed two rebounds in Sunday's 111-98 win over the Houston Rockets.

Fantasy Impact

LaVine saw just 28 minutes of action on Sunday, but he was still able to put up a decent performance with 18 points on solid shooting splits. He has been good, but not great lately and will likely continue to be for the foreseeable future.

Zach LaVine moved back into the starting five Tuesday and delivered a well-rounded 20-point effort (8-of-19 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs) with four rebounds, three assists, two steals, two three-pointers, and one block in Sacramento's loss to the Mavericks. The return to the starting lineup came after LaVine logged 36 minutes off the bench in his first game back from a nine-game absence due to a sprained ankle.

Fantasy Impact

With Keegan Murray sidelined for three to four weeks with his own ankle sprain, LaVine's promotion didn't force Precious Achiuwa out of the rotation—he contributed nine points, nine rebounds, one steal, one block, and a three-pointer in 22 minutes. LaVine's complete stat line showcases the tools that could make him a top-50 per-game player, though his fantasy trajectory depends heavily on how the Kings approach the trade deadline as potential sellers.

Sacramento Kings head coach Doug Christie confirmed that Zach LaVine will not have a minutes restriction for Sunday’s game against the Milwaukee Bucks.

Fantasy Impact

LaVine will return on Sunday after missing nine games with an ankle injury. With his return, Dennis Schroder, Keon Ellis and Nique Clifford could all see reduced minutes.

Zach LaVine is available for Sunday's game against the Bucks.

Fantasy Impact

LaVine is set to return from a nine-game absence. Precious Achiuwa should return to his reserve role as a result.

Zach LaVine (ankle) is questionable to play in Sunday night's game against the Milwaukee Bucks.

Fantasy Impact

LaVine has been sidelined since before Christmas due to an ankle injury, but he is questionable and will have a chance to make his return to the lineup on Sunday night. Fantasy managers should expect less work for Keon Ellis and Nique Clifford if the veteran is back in the lineup for this matchup.
