DeMar DeRozan Fills it up Against the T-Wolves
7 years agoToronto Raptors guard DeMar DeRozan contributed across the board on Saturday in the loss to the T-Wolves, scoring 20 points with two treys on 7-for-16 shooting from the field. DeRozan helped out with three boards and five assists but matched his assist numbers in the turnover column. He was great defensively, though, finishing with three steals and one block in his 34 minutes. The Raptors back court combined for 60 points in this one, as guard Kyle Lowry dropped 40 points in the contest. Deebo will look to lead his team to victory on Wednesday against the Hawks in Atlanta.

DeMar DeRozan Still Dealing With A Back Issue
4 months agoSacramento Kings forward 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
4 months agoSacramento Kings forward 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.

DeMar DeRozan Won't Play Against The Hawks
5 months agoSacramento Kings forward DeMar DeRozan (back) remains out for Monday's meeting with the Hawks. The 35-year-old is dealing with a back injury, so he'll miss his third-straight contest on Monday night. Under normal circumstances, the Kings would rely mostly on Domantas Sabonis (back) and De'Aaron Fox to pick up the slack. However, with Sabonis doubtful, Fox, who had 49 points in Saturday's win over the Jazz, should do most of the heavy lifting on the offensive end. On the other hand, guys like Kevin Hunter, Trey Lyles, and Keegan Murray may also be in line for added production.
