Chris Duarte Exits With Hand Injury
Chris Duarte (hand) was forced to exit early during Monday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans. The young guard picked up a hand injury and is currently questionable to return to the contest. The severity of the injury is unknown at the moment, but it wouldn't be shocking to see the Kings hold out Duarte for the rest of the game. In his absence, Kessler Edwards and Colby Jones could see increased time in the rotation. There should be more information on Duarte after the game.

Chris Duarte Questionable Tuesday
Chris Duarte (ankle) has been listed as questionable for Tuesday's matchup against the Suns. Duarte injured his right ankle during pre-game warm-ups last Wednesday and was set to miss at least one week of action. However, he apparently has recovered quicker than expected and could be an option on Tuesday. With that said, Duarte has logged only six minutes of action in 2024 and isn't a big part of what Sacramento tries to do, so his status doesn't affect fantasy basketball.

Chris Duarte Considered Questionable Against Suns
Chris Duarte (knee) has received a questionable tag for Friday's contest against the Phoenix Suns. The 26-year-old has missed the last two games due to left knee soreness and he possibly could miss a third. Since this game was added as a consolation from the in-season tournament, the start time is 11:00 PM EST. Fantasy managers who are trying to decide on Duarte may want to go with the backup plan since we won't know his status until closer to tipoff. If he doesn't suit up, Keon Ellis and Sasha Vezenkov will get some extra minutes off of the bench.

Chris Duarte Receives A Questionable Tag For Monday
Chris Duarte (knee) is considered questionable for their in-season tournament game against the New Orleans Pelicans on Monday night. The young wing was forced to miss their last game on Saturday with the same left knee soreness, but he may have received that game off to get some more rest for the knockout stage of the tournament. Since Keegan Murray has returned, however, Duarte has taken a big hit to his fantasy value. If he can't play, Sasha Vezenkov will see some more opportunities.

Chris Duarte Will Play On Wednesday
Chris Duarte (thumb) will suit up for Wednesday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans. Duarte was questionable coming into this game due to a thumb issue, but it appears he's ready to go. He'll slide into the starting five with Keegan Murray (back) ruled out for this game. Duarte should see increased playing time and is an interesting streaming option and DFS choice for Wednesday's slate. Sasha Vezenkov and Kessler Edwards should also see more run, but Duarte has the most upside out of the three of them.
