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. (Source: Shams Charania on X)

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.

DaQuan Jeffries scored 15 points (6-9 FG, 2-3 3PT, 1-1 FT) in 27 minutes off the bench during Saturday's 123-113 loss to the Hawks.

Fantasy Impact: Jeffries, who just signed a 10-day contract with the Kings on Thursday, has played in two games thus far with Sacramento. After scoring just two points in seven minutes in his first game on Thursday, Jeffries provided some excellent minutes off the bench on Saturday, finishing five points shy of his career-high. The six-year veteran will likely get an extended look by the depleted Kings over the last couple of weeks, but he remains off the fantasy radar.
