Trey Lyles

With DeMar DeRozan sidelined once again, Lyles got another start in this game. DeRozan is inching closer to a return, and with their next game coming on Friday, it could be for that game. However, if he misses another game, Lyles should be worth streaming. He is averaging 14.5 points, 6.5 rebounds, 2.5 assists and 4.0 threes during his two starts this season and is available in 95 % of leagues. Since they don't play until Friday, just keep an eye on him at this point.

In order to combat Clint Capela, Mike Brown will swap Len in to replace Doug McDermott, who got the start in place of Domantas Sabonis in their last game. With both Sabonis and DeMar DeRozan sidelined, Lyles will get another start as well.

Sabonis will miss a second straight game due to tightness in his lower back. But, he has been cleared to resume on-court activity, so a return to action may not be too far away. Trey Lyles and Doug McDermott moved into the starting lineup on Saturday, but the matchup may lead to Alex Len figuring more prominently in the rotation.

Sabonis appears likely to miss a second straight game, a concerning development since the first (Saturday vs. Utah) was the second of a back-to-back. Sacramento went small on Saturday, starting Trey Lyles and Doug McDermott. Lyles would be worth streaming in deep leagues if Mike Brown takes a similar approach, but the Hawks have two healthy centers (Clint Capela and Onyeka Okongwu) to account for. Alex Len and Orlando Robinson also played rotation minutes on Saturday, and the matchup could lead to one of them picking up a little more playing time.

After coming off the bench on Friday, Lyles moved into the starting lineup for Saturday's game. He provided solid offensive production, scoring a season-high 17 points and hitting five 3-pointers. Lyles is a solid contributor to the Kings' bench rotation, but he hasn't been productive enough to merit being rostered in most fantasy leagues. He's a player whose value to his team outweighs his fantasy value.
