Keegan Murray Scores Game-High 29 Points On Wednesday
Keegan Murray had a fantastic game in the team's Summer League matchup against the Oklahoma City Thunder on Wednesday. He shot 9-for-17 from the field and 9-for-11 from the free throw line on the way to a game-high 29 points. He also added seven rebounds, four steals, two assists and two three-pointers. This was Murray's most well-rounded game of the summer thus far. The fourth overall pick certainly looks to be ready to contribute for the Kings out of the gate this season. He's a solid target for fantasy managers in the mid-to-late rounds of drafts as he should provide solid percentages to go along with scoring and three-pointers this year.

Keegan Murray Sits Out Monday's Game
Keegan Murray (back) has been ruled out for Monday's matchup against the Detroit Pistons. He sat out Sunday's contest against the Cleveland Cavaliers due to a back problem and is not ready to return for Monday night, with the team downgrading Murray's status from questionable to out. Trey Lyles figures to remain in the starting lineup as Murray's replacement. He had a fairly quiet outing against the Cavaliers on Sunday, finishing with seven points, eight rebounds, and two steals in 40 minutes. However, the Pistons had trouble stopping Lyles in this season's first head-to-head matchup when he fired in four three-point bombs during a 20-point effort.

Keegan Murray Questionable On Monday With Back Issue
Keegan Murray (back) has been tagged as questionable for Monday's matchup with the Detroit Pistons while he deals with back soreness. Murray has only been forced to miss three games all season, and this could be his second consecutive absence due to the back issue. While he sat out their game against the Cleveland Cavaliers, Trey Lyles moved into the starting lineup and received 40 minutes. In that time, he posted seven points, eight rebounds, one assist, and two steals while shooting 2-for-6 from the floor. Lyles isn't a great option for streaming or DFS lineups even if Murray doesn't play, so fantasy managers should take a look at some different teams for that purpose.

Keegan Murray Will Play On Sunday
Keegan Murray (ankle) will suit up for Sunday's game against the Golden State Warriors. Murray will make his return to the court after missing each of the last two games due to an ankle injury. The 24-year-old has been on a cold streak recently, but he's still worth starting in season-long formats due to his upside. The expectation is that Murray will have his full workload on Sunday despite missing two games in a row. Fantasy managers should go ahead and get him in their lineups ahead of tip-off.

Keegan Murray Sidelined Again On Friday
Keegan Murray (ankle) won't play on Friday against the Grizzlies. He'll now be sidelined for a second-straight contest, recently missing Wednesday's win over the 76ers because of ankle soreness. Keon Ellis got the start, finishing with nine points. But he shined most on the defensive end, amassing four steals and two blocks. Ellis will start again on Friday night, although the debut of Devin Carter could mean he'll be less productive.
