Stays hot in victory Achiuwa provided 22 points (10-15 FG, 2-3 FT), 12 rebounds, one block and one steal in 33 minutes during Monday's 123-114 win over the Grizzlies.

Impact Achiuwa scored with efficiency during Monday's matchup, and he's now put up 14 or more points in three consecutive games. He's also been a force on the boards lately by collecting two double-doubles in his previous three showings. Achiuwa is averaging 12.8 points, 6.6 rebounds, 1.2 assists and 1.0 blocks over his last five outings.

Only 19 minutes in win Monk finished Monday's 123-114 victory over the Grizzlies with 10 points (4-10 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 1-1 FT), two assists, one block and two steals in 19 minutes.

Impact Monk scored double digits for the fifth straight appearance, although his playing time was largely underwhelming. Despite the fact that Sacramento is looking to the future, it doesn't appear as though Monk is high on its list of priorities. In three games over the past week, he has averaged 14.3 points, 3.3 assists, 1.0 steals and 2.3 three-pointers in 22.4 minutes per game. At best, he should be viewed as a possible streaming candidate.

Drops season-high 19 points Plowden ended Monday's 123-114 victory over Memphis with 19 points (6-12 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 3-4 FT), five rebounds and one assist over 26 minutes.

Impact Plowden scored a season-high 19 points, just the second time he has recorded double digits all season. With Sacramento likely heading for a late-season shake-up, Plowden is a name to watch, just in case his role shifts at some point. While this was an encouraging performance, managers should not overreact just yet.

Career-high six steals Clifford contributed 12 points (5-8 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 1-1 FT), six rebounds, five assists and six steals over 28 minutes during Monday's 123-114 win over the Grizzlies.

Impact Clifford brought the defense Monday, recording a career-high six steals. Despite still coming off the bench, the rookie has been able to maintain a starter-level role, having played at least 28 minutes in seven straight games. Although his production is likely to fluctuate, his defensive floor is relatively safe, making him a viable 12-team asset across most leagues.

Out Monday Carter (back) is out for Monday's game against Memphis.

Impact After being a late addition to the injury report with lower-back soreness, Carter is now downgraded to out. The Kings could opt for a hot-hand approach between Malik Monk and Russell Westbrook on Monday, with Nique Clifford also having a clearer path to minutes.

Added to injury report Carter (back) is questionable for Monday's game against the Grizzlies.

Impact Carter is a late addition to the Kings' injury report due to lower-back soreness. His potential absence would free up some minutes at point guard for Russell Westbrook and Malik Monk.

Lands two-way deal with Sacramento Baldwin signed a two-way contract with the Kings on Sunday.

Impact The fourth-year forward will fill the Kings' third and final two-way slot, which opened up when Dylan Cardwell was upgraded to a standard NBA contract earlier this month. Sacramento marks the third stop of the season for Baldwin, who previously made three appearances at the NBA level over the course of 10-day deals with the Clippers and 76ers. Baldwin saw limited playing time with those two clubs but could have a clearer path to meaningful minutes on a Kings squad that lost four players to long-term injuries following the All-Star break.

Gets 10-day deal with Sacramento The Kings signed Hayes to a 10-day contract Sunday, Michael Scotto of USA Today reports.

Impact Hayes has spent the entire 2025-26 season in the G League with the Cleveland Charge after failing to make the Cavaliers' 15-man squad at the end of training camp in mid-October. In the G League, he is averaging 23.1 points, 8.1 assists, 3.9 rebounds, 2.3 threes and 1.7 steals over 31.8 minutes per game. Hayes -- who was selected by the Pistons with the No. 7 pick in the 2020 NBA Draft -- appeared in six regular-season games (five starts) for the Nets during the 2024-25 campaign and averaged 9.0 points, 5.2 assists, 3.0 rebounds and 1.3 threes over 27.0 minutes per game. He'll have the chance to establish a role for himself in the Kings' rotation now that Zach LaVine (finger) and De'Andre Hunter (eye) are both out for the rest of the season.

Kings' starting lineup woes perfectly demonstrate everything wrong this season The intended starting lineup for the Sacramento Kings never played a minute together, perfectly showing how broken the team is.

Ties for team lead with 20 points DeRozan closed Saturday's 139-122 loss to the Spurs with 20 points (5-13 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 10-10 FT), one rebound, five assists, one block and two steals over 35 minutes.

Impact DeRozan will serve as one of Sacramento's best scoring options as they plod through the rest of the season woefully undermanned. Zach LaVine (finger) and Domantas Sabonis (knee) are done for the year, and despite DeRozan's efforts, the 16-game losing streak was extended with no end in sight. The sorry state of affairs makes Sacramento players risky fantasy calls in the second half of the season, but DeRozan's high volume will keep him relevant down the stretch.

Turns in 20 points Murray finished with 20 points (7-16 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 4-5 FT), two rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal in 36 minutes during Saturday's 139-122 loss to San Antonio.

Impact Murray tied DeMar DeRozan for the Kings' highest scoring total. With Zach LaVine (finger) and Domantas Sabonis (knee) done for the season, there's tremendous pressure on Murray to carry a heavy load on both sides of the ball. While heavy usage should be expected nightly for Murray if he stays healthy, his lack of support may negatively affect his ability to post consistent totals down the stretch.
