Kevin Huerter

While Huerter missed Monday's loss to the Nuggets, Sabonis did not participate in Wednesday's practice. Both are considered good to go for Thursday night, but the latter's availability is far more critical to fantasy managers. Huerter's status fortifies the Kings' bench but remains a deep-league option at best.

The Kings will be without two rotation players for Monday's game as Murray joins reserve Kevin Huerter on the sideline. Murray's absence will be more impactful as it opens up a place in the starting lineup. Keon Ellis benefits the most from the absences, while Colby Jones may also pick up additional rotation minutes. Ellis is worth streaming in deep leagues.

Murray popped up on injury report with an ankle injury after flirting with a double-double in his latest outing. He's played in every game this season and his absence could make way for Isaac Jones to play a significant role off the bench. Especially with Kevin Huerter already ruled out.

Huerter has been available as of late but is set to miss his second game this month. Malik Monk will likely take on a heavier workload. Isaac Jones will be among the top reserve players to keep an eye on.

The shoulder Huerter sprained is the same one that was surgically repaired last season, which is a concern for the Kings. He's on track to sit out Monday's game, which could push Keon Ellis back into the rotation. In most leagues, Ellis is not a must-stream player, but deep-league managers should watch him.
