Fantasy Impact: The Wizards will be without Jones on Friday. This doesn't come as much of a surprise, as he was just traded there and will need some time to settle in before taking the court. Carlton Carrington is projected to see a large workload against the Cavaliers with Washington working with limited depth pieces in this matchup.

Fantasy Impact: The big man will not be available to play on Friday, as he just arrived in Washington after being traded there from Sacramento. He isn't likely to see a large workload for the foreseeable future, so fantasy managers shouldn't put much weight into his absence.

DeMar DeRozan contributed across the board in Thursday’s win over the Trail Blazers, finishing with 22 points (9-of-16 FG), four rebounds, seven assists, one steal, three blocks, and one 3-pointer.

Fantasy Impact: While DeRozan’s scoring has been inconsistent, his recent uptick in assists is a welcome sign for fantasy managers. He’s recorded at least seven assists in two of his last three outings, which could help offset his declining scoring output. The 35-year-old forward has provided just 14th-round value in 8-cat formats over the past two weeks, but if his playmaking continues to trend upward, he could regain some of his lost fantasy appeal.

Malik Monk filled the stat sheet in Thursday’s win over the Trail Blazers, contributing 21 points (8-of-20 FG), seven rebounds, four assists, two steals, one block, and two 3-pointers.

Fantasy Impact: Monk has stepped up in Sacramento’s first two games since trading De’Aaron Fox, tallying back-to-back performances with at least 21 points and seven rebounds. Despite the addition of Zach LaVine, Monk’s role in the starting lineup should keep his fantasy value intact. While his efficiency wasn’t great Thursday, the volume remains encouraging. He’s a must-roster player in all formats as the Kings adjust to their new-look backcourt.

Jonas Valanciunas (trade) will play in Thursday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. (Source: James Ham on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: The big man will be available to play on Thursday after recently being traded to Sacramento from Washington. It remains to be seen what his workload will look like as a member of the Kings, so fantasy managers should keep tabs on how he looks over his first few games.

Zach LaVine scored 13 points (4-13 FG, 0-4 3PT, 5-6 FT) and dished out three assists in Wednesday night's 130-111 loss to the Sacramento Kings.

Fantasy Impact: LaVine was able to make his debut for the Kings on Wednesday night after recently being traded to them from Chicago. He struggled to get anything going in his first game, however, as he was inefficient from the field and failed to do much in other areas of the game. He should bounce back and improve when he settles in and gets comfortable in Sacramento.

Domantas Sabonis scored 21 points (8-10 FG, 2-2 3PT, 4-5 FT) and grabbed 13 rebounds in Wednesday night's 130-111 loss to the Orlando Magic.

Fantasy Impact: Sabonis was one of the lone bright spots for the Kings on Wednesday. He led them with 21 points scored on the night, and his 13 rebounds were enough to complete the double-double. Fantasy managers should keep tabs on how this team looks over the next few games with De'Aaron Fox now gone.

The Washington Wizards are trading Sidy Cissoko and a couple of draft picks to the Sacramento Kings in exchange for Jonas Valanciunas. (Source: Shams Charania on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Cissoko just recently arrived in Sacramento after being traded there from San Antonio, but now he will need to pack his bags again after being traded to the Wizards as part of a package deal for Jonas Valanciunas. It's unlikely that he will be fantasy relevant at any point this season, but he could earn more opportunities for himself on a subpar Wizards' roster moving forward.

Keon Ellis scored 13 points (5-8 FG, 3-3 3P) with three rebounds, two assists, three steals, and two blocks in the Kings' 116-114 win over Minnesota on Monday.

Fantasy Impact: Ellis bounced back after a couple of quiet games to help the Kings get the win over the Wolves in part thanks to his three-point shooting. Ellis ' points were crucial with the bench not putting up much of anything. However, he will likely go to the bench once Zach LaVine officially joins the team, capping his potential upside.

The Kings have traded De'Aaron Fox to the Spurs. (Source: Shams Charania on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: It is a multi-team trade that is also sending Zach LaVine to the Kings. Fox had been connected to the Spurs for several weeks. The Spurs will look to make a push for the playoffs with Fox and Victor Wembanyama.

Keegan Murray scored 14 points (5-10 FG, 4-5 3P) with five rebounds, one assist, and one block in the Kings' 144-110 loss to the Thunder on Saturday.

Fantasy Impact: Murray has had some nice back-to-back games for the Kings, even if they are a bit underwhelming. He should continue to be a fixture in the Kings offense as the season goes along.

Doug McDermott (illness) is good to go for Saturday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. (Source: NBA Injury Report)

Fantasy Impact: The Kings have a short injury report for Saturday's game, and it just got even shorter, as they have removed McDermott from it altogether. He was previously listed with an illness, but he has recovered from it and should be available to see a full workload against the Thunder.

Devin Carter (wrist) is good to go for Wednesday's game against the Golden State Warriors. (Source: NBA Injury Report)

Fantasy Impact: Carter was sidelined for Sacramento's last game due to a wrist injury, but he carries no injury designation for Wednesday and will be available to make his return against the Warriors. He isn't likely to be a strong fantasy option even if he's fully healthy, however.

Trey Lyles came off the bench for 22 minutes, knocking down all six of his field-goal attempts—including four triples—to total 16 points. He added 6 rebounds and 2 blocks, finishing with a +6 plus/minus against Memphis.

Fantasy Impact: Lyles showcased his efficient shooting and ability to stretch the floor, making him a viable streaming option for points and threes. His defensive stats were a pleasant surprise, but consistency remains the key for his long-term fantasy relevance. Consider adding him if he continues to deliver in multiple categories.

Jae Crowder (back) is questionable for Monday's game against the Dallas Mavericks. (Source: NBA Injury Report)

Fantasy Impact: Crowder may not play on Monday. He's managing a back injury right now, and he officially carries a questionable tag for the time being. His absence wouldn't have any notable fantasy impacts for the Kings in this matchup.

The Sacramento Kings have parted ways with head coach Mike Brown. (Source: Shams Charania on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: The Kings lost in the Play-In Tournament last season after breaking their playoff drought two years ago. They're off to a slow start this year with a 13-18 record and currently riding a five-game losing streak. It is a bit of a surprise timing wise. Brown signed a three-year extension through 2027 with the Kings in June. Doug Christie is expected to be the Kings interim head coach.
