Maurice Harkless Tallies Double-Double Wednesday Night
Maurice Harkless scored a season-high 17 points on Wednesday night, also tallying a double-double in the process. Harkless scored his 17 points on eight of 13 shooting and striking out on all three attempts from the three-point line. The seventh-year forward finished his night with a stat line of 17 points, 10 rebounds and three steals. Harkless looks to continue his recent success on Friday night against the Toronto Raptors, as he is averaging 12.4 points and 7.2 boards over his last five games -- both higher than his season averages.

Maurice Harkless Returns Saturday, Draws Starting Duties
Maurice Harkless (ankle) has been given the green light to take the floor for Saturday's game against the Wizards. Harkless missed one outing due to a sprained right ankle, with his return pushing Chimezie Metu back to the second unit. The veteran kicked off February with a strong three-game stretch that saw him score in double figures each time out, although his DFS ceiling remains capped due to the team's crowded frontcourt.

Harrison Barnes, Maurice Harkless Practice On Monday
Harrison Barnes (foot) and Maurice Harkless (knee) both were able to practice on Monday. Barnes has missed five straight games, while Harkless has missed the last four contests. Their absence has allowed Chimezie Metu to move into the starting five. Also, Marvin Bagley III has been getting extended playing time with the second unit. The Kings don't play again until Wednesday, so Barnes and Harkless have time to rest and prepare. Fantasy managers should check back on Wednesday for another update.

Maurice Harkless Questionable Friday
Maurice Harkless (hip) is questionable to play against the Utah Jazz on Friday. Harkless started in the season opener on Wednesday and likely got banged up in his 22 minutes of play. Harkless does not have much fantasy appeal, even as a starter, but his absence would likely pave the way to more minutes for Buddy Hield and Terence Davis. Hield played well in the opener, scoring 17 points and hitting four threes in 30 minutes off the bench.
