4 weeks agoSacramento Kings guard/forward
Zach LaVine (personal) will not play in Wednesday's contest against the Cleveland Cavaliers. He is a late scratch for the game for personal reasons, as LaVine was not included in the initial injury report.
Domantas Sabonis (ankle) will also exit the lineup on Wednesday, which will significantly alter the Kings' offense.
Malik Monk and
DeMar DeRozan are expected to lead the team. At the same time,
Keon Ellis and
Devin Carter should get more action on the court.

Zach LaVine is expected to make his team debut against the Orlando Magic on Wednesday. LaVine was unavailable for Monday's game after being traded in three-team deal from the Chicago Bulls. Obviously, LaVine wasn't going to make the trip to Minnesota on such short notice, but he will be available for Wednesday's contest. LaVine missed the last three games before the trade due to the birth of his child. There is a chance that LaVine is under a minutes limit during his team debut. Despite that, fantasy managers in season-long formats can feel comfortable getting LaVine in their lineups ahead of this game.

2 months agoAccording to ESPN's Shams Charania, the Kings, Spurs, and Bulls completed a three-team deal on Sunday night, resulting in guard
Zach LaVine (and guard
Sidy Cissoko) being dealt to the Kings. Also included in the trade; guard
De'Aaron Fox and guard
Jordan McLaughlin will head to San Antonio, with the Bulls acquiring forward
Zach Collins, guard
Tre Jones, and guard
Kevin Huerter. After years of trade rumors involving LaVine, he will now suit up for the third team of his career. The 29-year-old is a two-time NBA All-Star, averaging 20.7 points, 4.1 rebounds, 4.0 assists, and 38.7% shooting from behind the arc in 622 regular-season contests. Unfortunately, injuries have plagued LaVine throughout his career, with the 2014 No. 13 overall pick logging over 70 games just three times in the previous 10 seasons. But if LaVine can stay healthy, he is capable of helping the Kings make a deep postseason push, especially now that he will be playing alongside
Domantas Sabonis and former Bulls teammate
DeMar DeRozan.

Zach LaVine (personal) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Detroit Pistons. As expected, LaVine will miss his third straight game due to a lingering illness. His next chance to play will be against the Miami Heat on Tuesday. The Bulls are likely going to continue using a committee approach to fill the void in the rotation. That means,
Coby White,
Josh Giddey,
Ayo Dosunmu, and
Lonzo Ball will all see increased playing time. Both Giddey and White are already must-start players, but Dosunmu and Ball become possible streaming options with LaVine sidelined.
