GAME LOG
Maxime Raynaud is the Kings' new double-double machine with one big flaw While Maxime Raynaud has been playing incredibly well as the Sacramento Kings' starting center, he needs to clean up his foul issues.
DECEMBER 23, 2025 • AROYALPAIN.COM
Doug McDermott - Game-time call for Tuesday McDermott (knee) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Pistons.
Impact McDermott has returned to the injury report due to the same knee injury that's been bugging him since Saturday. He hasn't seen much action lately even when healthy, so his availability should have little impact on Sacramento's rotation.
DECEMBER 23, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Devin Carter - Questionable for Tuesday Carter is questionable to play Tuesday versus the Pistons due to a sprained left ankle.
Impact We'll have a better idea on Carter's status for Tuesday night based on his activity level at shootaround, but his playing status won't impact fantasy leagues, as he's not a consistent part of the rotation in Sacramento. Across nine games this season, Carter has registered averages of 3.6 points and 1.4 assists per contest.
DECEMBER 23, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Zach LaVine - Ruled out for Tuesday LaVine (ankle) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Pistons.
Impact LaVine is continuing to rehab from a left ankle sprain and hasn't taken the court since Dec. 14. The team has yet to provide another update on his availability moving forward, outside of the report that he'll remain sidelined Tuesday, so his status for Saturday's game against the Mavs should come into focus later in the week.

For a brief moment, one King proved Doug Christie wrong against the Rockets After being benched for the better part of three games, Mailk Monk finally got in the game and made a small difference.
DECEMBER 22, 2025 • AROYALPAIN.COM
Russell Westbrook - Big double-double in win Westbrook had 21 points (8-24 FG, 5-12 3Pt, 0-2 FT), 13 rebounds, four assists and two steals in 29 minutes during Sunday's 125-124 overtime win over the Rockets.
Impact Westbrook was one of four Kings to eclipse 20 points -- he combined with DeMar DeRozan, Keegan Murray and Dennis Schroder for a total of 98 points in the comeback win. Westbrook continues to defy Father Time with averages of 16.2 points, 8.3 assists, 7.7 rebounds and 1.8 steals over his last six outings.
DECEMBER 22, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Malik Monk - Sees five minutes Monk posted two points (1-1 FG, 0-2 FT) across five minutes during Sunday's 125-124 overtime win over the Rockets.
Impact After picking up two straight DNP-CD's, Monk picked up some scraps off the bench in Sunday's win. With Nique Clifford becoming more involved for the Kings, Monk appears to be the odd man out.
DECEMBER 22, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Keon Ellis - Held to nine minutes Ellis produced zero points (0-3 FG, 0-1 3Pt), two rebounds and one block across nine minutes during Sunday's 125-124 overtime victory over the Rockets.
Impact After playing above 30 minutes on Dec. 11 and Dec. 18, Ellis has now seen 10 or fewer minutes in two straight games. With such a volatile role, he remains off the fantasy radar in standard formats. A change of scenery could do him some good at this point.

Maxime Raynaud - Continues strong work under basket Raynaud fouled out of Sunday's 125-124 overtime win over Houston after recording 12 points (6-12 FG, 0-1 3Pt), 14 rebounds and one steal across 37 minutes.
Impact Raynaud was effective once again as the Kings' replacement at center with his third consecutive double-double. The streak may be enough to give him the backup job for good, as Drew Eubanks (thumb) and Precious Achiuwa have failed to meet expectations as fill-in candidates for Domantas Sabonis (knee). Those in need of center assistance should consider Raynaud, who will likely continue to post decent numbers over the next month.
DECEMBER 22, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
DeMar DeRozan - Flirts with double-double in OT win DeRozan accumulated 27 points (9-17 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 8-9 FT), four rebounds, nine assists, one block and two steals over 40 minutes during Sunday's 125-124 overtime victory over Housto...
Impact The Kings ended a five-game skid thanks to inspired performances throughout the first unit, with DeRozan finishing as the high scorer in the overtime victory. The veteran has had mixed success in an adjusted role due to Zach LaVine's (ankle) absence, spending more time in the backcourt as a complement to Russell Westbrook. Although he blew up for 33 points earlier in the week, DeRozan also experienced some of his lowest scoring totals of the season during the switch. While he can explode on any given night, his 18.4 point-per-game average this season is on pace to be his worst scoring average since 2012.

Dennis Schröder - Hits game-winner in OT Schroder totaled 24 points (7-13 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 7-8 FT), seven rebounds and 10 assists over 32 minutes during Sunday's 125-124 overtime win over Houston.
Impact Schroder sank a three-pointer with two seconds left to give the Kings the win in the overtime thriller. Despite coming off the bench, Schroder has averaged a solid 27.5 minutes per game since returning from an ankle injury. Russell Westbrook took over at point guard during the absence, and although a switch isn't expected, Schroder is making a case to get his old job back.
