Alex Len Has Season-High 17 Points Off The Bench
Alex Len was a key part in the 125-121 win over the Denver Nuggets on Tuesday night. Not many real-life or fantasy basketball fans would've predicted that Len would be a match for his opposing center, Nikola Jokic, but that's exactly what happened. Len had 17 points, seven rebounds, one assist and one block, but he was efficient with his shots, going 6-for-8 from the field and making one of his two three-pointers. It was more points than Len had in his previous four games combined. This may have been a one-off, but it was encouraging to see that he is able to produce fantasy relevant numbers if needed. He should remain on the waiver wire, but managers should keep an eye on him in case this sparks something in the seventh-year player.

Alex Len Ruled Out For At Least Six Weeks
Alex Len (ankle) faces a lengthy absence, as he has been ruled out for 6-8 weeks. The seven-footer from Ukraine has suffered a moderate high ankle sprain, and it's possible we won't see him again until the calendar flips to 2024. We actually haven't seen much of him when he's been healthy either, with Len logging only 6.8 minutes across six games as the third center in the Kings rotation. His absence won't change anything in fantasy basketball.

Alex Len Good To Go On Sunday
Alex Len (back) has been given the green light to suit up for Sunday night's game against the Golden State Warriors. Len is currently hampered by a sore back, but it won't keep on the sidelines on Sunday. Unfortunately for Len, he's become a bit buried on the depth chart, even with both Domantas Sabonis (knee) and Richaun Holmes (personal) out of action. Damian Jones is excelling as the team's starting center and the only other big men in Sacramento seeing sturdy minutes right now are Trey Lyles and Chimezie Metu.

Alex Len, Josh Jackson Active On Wednesday
Alex Len (illness) and forward Josh Jackson (illness) will both be active for Wednesday night's game against the Houston Rockets. This update comes as a surprise as both players had been previously ruled out for the game due to non-COVID illnesses. Neither player has been seeing much of the court lately. Len has rebounding and block potential, but would need to surpass Neemias Queta and Chimezie Metu on the depth chart in order to warrant some fantasy appeal.

Alex Len To Start At Center
Alex Len will get the starting nod for Wednesday's game against the Denver Nuggets. Domantas Sabonis (suspension) and Richaun Holmes (personal) are both sidelined for this game. At this point, the Kings don't have many other options at center, so Len will get the start. He should get plenty of minutes, but remains a low-end streaming option. De'Aaron Fox, Justin Holiday, Harrison Barnes and Trey Lyles are expected to join Len in the starting five.
