Trey Lyles Scores 21 Points Off The Bench
Trey Lyles had another big scoring night off the bench in a loss to the Golden State Warriors. He had 21 points on 9-for-15 shooting and he also chipped in with five rebounds, three steals, and one three-pointer in 26 minutes. Lyles surprisingly did most of his damage in the paint. He took advantage of mismatches from the Warriors constant switching on defense and used his size to post up for easy scores. As of late, Lyles is playing with exceptional confidence, and for good reason. Over the last two weeks, he is scoring 19.6 points per game on 57.8 percent shooting. As a result, Lyles is playing like a mid-round player and should continue this strong play for the foreseeable future with Paul Millsap (wrist) on the sidelines.

Trey Lyles Available To Play On Thursday
Trey Lyles (leg) has been upgraded to available ahead of Thursday's game against the Golden State Warriors. Lyles was a late addition to the injury report due to a leg injury, but it doesn't appear to be something that is going to keep him on the sideline. Normally, Lyles plays minutes in the teens off the bench, but he could see an increased role on Thursday with Domantas Sabonis (hamstring) ruled out for this game. Honestly, Jonas Valanciunas will probably absorb most of the additional minutes, so Lyles still isn't an ideal streaming option.

Trey Lyles Available On Sunday
Trey Lyles (calf) has been cleared to suit up for Sunday's game against the Indiana Pacers. The veteran forward was active for the first time in almost a month during Saturday's game. He finished with three points and three rebounds across 17 minutes of action. The expectation is that the Kings are going to ease Lyles back into action. Fellow big man Domantas Sabonis (ankle) remains questionable for this game, so Lyles could see a larger role if Sabonis sits out. Otherwise, Lyles is probably avoidable for Sunday's slate.

Trey Lyles Might Return Versus The Lakers
Trey Lyles (calf) is questionable for the meeting with the Lakers on Saturday. The 29-year-old hasn't had a quality season, averaging 5.4 points and 3.9 rebounds, among the lowest marks of his career. He missed the last 10 games because of calf soreness. But Lyles had a chance to return a few games ago, so he's not out of the woods just yet. Under normal circumstances, Lyles wouldn't be a factor in any fantasy setup due to his subpar play throughout the 2024-25 campaign. However, with Keegan Murray (ankle) also questionable, the 2015 No. 12 overall pick could receive meaningful minutes versus Los Angeles, giving him some streaming value despite the potential for limited work. On the other hand, if Murray and Lyles are both sidelined, Doug McDermott, who had 16 points in a recent encounter with the Denver Nuggets, would draw interest from fantasy managers, especially from those looking for DFS value opportunities.

Trey Lyles A Full-Go In Wednesday’s Practice
Trey Lyles (calf) fully participated in Wednesday's practice, and there's a chance he could be available for Thursday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers. If either Domantas Sabonis or Keegan Murray can't play, Lyles could see a larger role in the frontcourt. He's shown his fantasy potential before, like when he posted 12 points and 10 rebounds in a double-double against the Atlanta Hawks on November 18th. Fantasy managers should check for updates as Thursday's game approaches to see if Lyles takes on a bigger role.
