Recent News ♦ Fantasy Analysis

Kent Bazemore

SG, Sacramento Kings

Kent Bazemore finished Saturday's road win with 23 points, six rebounds, two 3-pointers, four steals and a block in 30 minutes off the bench.

Bazemore's minutes are trending up as Luke Walton continues his game of chicken with Buddy Hield, and he's been a top-150 option in high-twenties minutes in the past. He's got six threes and six steals over his last three contests so give Bazemore a look for 3-and-D numbers.

Harry Giles III

PF, Sacramento Kings

Harry Giles delivered 14 points, 12 rebounds, two assists and a block in 32 minutes on Saturday afternoon.

Giles has a great opportunity in front of him and put his foot down with Alex Len returning to potentially threaten his minutes. Injuries have always been the problem with Giles, but as long as he can stay healthy he'll be a deep-league option with some upside as the Kings continue to roll shorthanded up front. If he can keep getting 30 mpg it'll be a fun finish to the year, but Giles is averaging just 12.9 mpg on the full season so that's far from a guarantee.

Buddy Hield

SG, Sacramento Kings

Buddy Hield only saw 15 minutes of action on Saturday against the Clippers, scoring seven points with a 3-pointer and a steal.

Issues between Hield and the Kings have been festering for a while now, and it seems like there’s been a total breakdown of trust between player and organization. Kent Bazemore had a big game which might help explain this, but Hield is definitely trending downward. If his minutes continue to stay in this range then all bets will be off, but Hield should still be able to deliver middle-round value as long as he has a reasonable workload. And with the way the Kings pull the rug and then go right back to him, this is a great buy low moment for a guy bringing back early round value this season.

Alex Len

C, Sacramento Kings

Alex Len made his Kings debut on Sunday, playing 16 minutes and posting three points, eight rebounds, a steal and a block.

Len returned from an 11-game absence from a right hip flexor injury and could be in line for additional minutes while Richaun Holmes is out, though Harry Giles put up a great game to try and hold off the competition today. Len's someone to keep an eye on in 16-team leagues but is hard to endorse in anything shallower for now.

Alex Len

C, Sacramento Kings

Alex Len (right hip flexor) is expected to to play "a few minutes" against the Clippers on Saturday according to Kings beat writer Sean Cunningham.

Len hasn't seen game action for about a month now so he will be eased in slowly. With Marvin Bagley and Richuan Holmes currently on the shelf, Harry Giles and Nemanja Bjelica have been forced into all of the center minutes so there is opportunity for Len at least until Holmes returns but he shouldn't be more than a watchlist guy for now.

Alex Len

C, Sacramento Kings

Alex Len (right hip flexor) is being listed as questionable on the injury report for Saturday's matchup with the Clippers.

Len has yet to make his Kings debut. With the front court depth on their roster, it's hard to see Len carving out a role for himself the rest of the way. However, with Richaun Holmes and Marvin Bagley both dealing with injuries, Len could see some minutes if he stays healthy. As we know, anything can happen in Sacramento.

Kent Bazemore

SG, Sacramento Kings

Kent Bazemore saw some quality run in Thursday's win over the Grizzlies, logging 23 minutes off the bench and dropping 18 points on 6-of-10 shooting with three rebounds, two 3s and one steal.

Bazemore is not an efficient scorer, so his .600 clip from the field tonight should be taken with a hefty grain of salt. He's been widely inconsistent for most of the season but is worth keeping an eye on in case he makes it a habit of playing well.

Jabari Parker

PF, Sacramento Kings

Jabari Parker (right shoulder impingement) debuted for the Kings on Thursday but was unremarkable in his 15 minutes off the bench, tallying just four points, four rebounds and two assists.

While Parker is not a high-impact player in fantasy, we should expect to see those minutes rise as he gets his legs back. And given that Marvin Bagley III's timetable is in weeks, Parker may be worth a streamer once he's closer to 100 percent.
