DeMar DeRozan With 30 Points Against Rockets
DeMar DeRozan scored 30 points on 9-for-16 shooting in Saturday's game against the Houston Rockets. He added in seven assists as well while shooting 1-for-4 from three. In addition, DeRozan grabbed eight rebounds. On Monday, he'll face the Golden State Warriors, who allow the eighth-most points and sixth-fewest assists per game in the NBA. Passing has become a bigger part of DeRozan's game this year, but even if he's unable to do a ton of that on Monday, he should still manage to score 20-plus points and would be a strong fantasy option.

DeMar DeRozan Still Dealing With A Back Issue
DeMar DeRozan (back) won't play on Friday night in Portland. Back inflammation continues to bother the veteran, resulting in a second-consecutive absence. DeRozan has averaged 22.6 points in his first season with the Kings. He also logs nearly 17 shots per contest. As a result, De'Aaron Fox, who has averaged 40.8 points in games without DeRozan, should not only remain starting in redraft formats but also see plenty of attention from DFS managers. There's also room for Malik Monk, who is coming off a 27-point, nine-assist, eight-rebound showing in Wednesday's win over the Timberwolves from off the bench, to remain even more involved.

DeMar DeRozan Unavailable On Wednesday
DeMar DeRozan (back) has been ruled out ahead of Wednesday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. This news comes after DeRozan experienced inflammation in his lower back. As a result, the Kings will take the cautious approach and let the 35-year-old rest on Wednesday. Fantasy managers shouldn't expect this to be an extended absence. The Kings haven't made any announcements, but Kevin Huerter is likely to start in his place. Huerter has been quiet lately with two zero point outings over his last three games. He could be a low-end streaming choice with extended minutes on Wednesday.
