GAME RECAP: Kings Earn Hard Fought Overtime Victory Over the Trail Blazers | 11.08.23
7 months ago
Trey Lyles - Out once againLyles (calf) will not play in Friday's game against the Thunder.
De'Aaron Fox - Won't play FridayFox (ankle) will not play in Friday's game against the Thunder.
ImpactThis will be the fifth game in a row on the sidelines for Fox. His next chance to play will be Monday against the Cavaliers. Davion Mitchell will likely see extended minutes as the starting point guard Friday, while Malik Monk and Colby Jones could see more opportunities off the bench.

Matisse Thybulle - Scores in double figuresThybulle finished Wednesday's 121-118 overtime loss to Sacramento with 13 points (4-8 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 4-5 FT), two rebounds, one assist and four steals across 34 minutes.
ImpactThybulle saw a considerable uptick in minutes Wednesday with the Trail Blazers dealing with multiple absences. The 26-year-old responded with his first double-digit scoring total of the season while also leading the team in steals. While Thybulle has served exclusively as a starter this year, he hasn't been consistent enough to be reliable in season-long formats at this point.

Alex Len - Solid contributions in OT winLen closed Wednesday's 121-118 overtime win over Portland with 10 points (4-4 FG, 2-5 FT), six rebounds, one assist, two blocks and one steal over 13 minutes.
ImpactLen hasn't been a consistent part of the Kings' rotation early in the season, but he played double-digit minutes for the first time this year during Wednesday's overtime win. While Len showed some promise against the Trail Blazers, it seems unlikely that he'll be able to maintain his production unless Sacramento deals with absences at some point.
NOVEMBER 9, 2023•ROTOWIRE
Jerami Grant - Leads team with 38 pointsGrant chipped in 38 points (12-25 FG, 5-8 3Pt, 9-12 FT), nine rebounds, five assists and three blocks across 46 minutes during Wednesday's 121-118 overtime loss to the Kings.
ImpactThe Trail Blazers don't have a marquee go-to guy after Damian Lillard's departure, but Grant has made his mark as one of the team's top playmakers. Wednesday marked Grant's best game by a wide margin, besting his previous season high of 27 points. Interestingly, Grant is on a perfect upward trend. His scoring numbers have increased with every performance, starting with a 13-point showing in the opener and increasing by a few points with each appearance.
NOVEMBER 9, 2023•ROTOWIRE
Skylar Mays - Solid game after Brogdon exitMays finished with 18 points (8-15 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds, 11 assists and two steals over 37 minutes during Wednesday's 121-118 overtime loss to the Kings.
ImpactThe Trail Blazers showed off their backcourt depth with Mays, who aptly filled in after Malcolm Brogdon (hamstring) exited the game. The extent of Brogdon's injury is unknown, but with Anfernee Simons (thumb) and Scoot Henderson (ankle) also sidelined, we should expect to see a lot more from Mays if Brogdon's hamstring forces him to miss more time.
