Keegan Murray

Having taken a back seat offensively for most of this season, Murray had a big night on Tuesday. He established new season-highs with 28 points and nine three-pointers. Add in the rebounds and defensive stats, and Tuesday was an excellent night for Murray managers. Over the past two weeks, he has provided fourth-round value in nine-cat formats. While Murray has to be rostered in most leagues, his fantasy ceiling has been lowered by the presence of Zach LaVine and DeMar DeRozan in the Kings' lineup.

Due to illness, Malik Monk will not be available for Saturday's game. Ellis will replace him in the starting lineup. While Monk is sidelined, Ellis is worth streaming. Rookie Devin Carter may play a few more minutes off the bench, but he is not a must-stream player.

In addition to Domantas Sabonis (hamstring), the Kings are without Zach LaVine (personal) for Wednesday's game. Ellis moves into the starting lineup, which raises his fantasy ceiling substantially. He should be streamed as long as LaVine is away from the team.

Monk returns to the Kings' lineup after missing three games with a toe injury. Keon Ellis will head to the bench, and while he will remain in the rotation, his fantasy ceiling is considerably lower in this role. The other four starters remain unchanged as Valanciunas continues filling in for the injured Domantas Sabonis (hamstring).

While Murray's offensive output has been modest on most nights, he has hit double figures in seven of the eight games he's appeared in since the All-Star break. The combination of consistent scoring and solid percentages is why Murray has been ranked just outside the top 50 in nine-cat formats since the break. Even with Domantas Sabonis and Malik Monk out due to injury, Murray's fantasy ceiling is limited, with DeMar DeRozan and Zach LaVine dominating the shots. However, he can still provide solid value, as evidenced by his production since the All-Star break.
