Sacramento hosts Washington in non-conference matchup

The Sacramento Kings take on the Washington Wizards in a non-conference matchup
DECEMBER 23, 2022 โ€ข Associated Press
Bradley Beal - Leads all scorers in loss Thursday Beal ended Thursday's 120-112 loss to the Jazz with 30 points (13-20 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 4-4 FT), five rebounds and five assists in 31 minutes.
Impact Beal topped 30 points for just the fourth time this season, continuing what has been a nice stretch of games after coming off an injury. Since returning to the court, he has scored at least 27 points in all three games, shooting the ball well from both the field and the charity stripe. He now sits as the 36th-ranked player for the season, right around where he was being drafted.
DECEMBER 23, 2022 โ€ข ROTOWIRE
Corey Kispert - Scores 12 points in spot start Kispert provided 12 points (4-8 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds, two assists and one steal across 37 minutes during Thursday's 120-112 loss to the Jazz.
Impact Kispert moved into the starting lineup after Deni Avdija was earlier ruled out with a back injury. A starting role is nothing new for Kispert, although you wouldn't know it by looking at his season averages. He is currently outside the top 200 in standard formats, putting up just 9.5 points and 1.8 triples per game. Outside of limited streaming appeal, Kispert is better left for managers in much deeper formats.
DECEMBER 23, 2022 โ€ข ROTOWIRE
Rui Hachimura - Plays 24 minutes in return Hachimura (ankle) provided seven points (3-4 FG, 1-1 FT), seven rebounds, one assist and one steal across 24 minutes during Thursday's 120-112 loss to the Jazz.
Impact Hachimura returned to action Thursday after missing the previous five weeks due to an ankle injury. He assumed his typical role off the bench, logging what could also be seen as a typical amount of playing time. Prior to going down, his minutes were in the mid-20s, with his averages of 11.6 points, 4.8 rebounds, 1.1 assists, 0.8 three-pointers and 0.5 blocks per game making him of more interest in deeper leagues than shallower ones.

Corey Kispert - Enters starting five Kispert is starting Thursday's game against the Jazz, Josh Robbins of The Athletic reports.
Impact Kispert will get a chance with the first unit due to the absence of Deni Avdija (back). The Gonzaga product is averaging 9.5 points, 3.2 rebounds and 1.3 assists across his last six starts.

DECEMBER 23, 2022 โ€ข THEATHLETIC.COM
Kristaps Porzingis - Sitting out Thursday Porzingis (illness) will not play Thursday versus the Jazz.
Impact Initially deemed questionable for the contest, it seemed like Porzingis was trending in the wrong direction when he didn't participate in practice Thursday morning. His absence should open the door for Daniel Gafford to make a second consecutive start, while Bradley Beal and Kyle Kuzma figure to shoulder heavier usage rates. Porzingis doesn't have to wait long for his next chance to play, as the Wizards are back at it Friday in Sacramento.
DECEMBER 23, 2022 โ€ข ROTOWIRE
Deni Avdija - Won't play Thursday Avdija (back) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Jazz.
Impact Avdija was originally added to the injury report as questionable due to back soreness, and the issue is serious enough to keep him out of Thursday's contest. Look for Will Barton and Anthony Gill to see extra minutes in Avdija's absence.
DECEMBER 23, 2022 โ€ข ROTOWIRE
Deni Avdija - Questionable Thursday Avdija is questionable for Thursday's game against the Jazz due to lower back soreness.
Impact Avdija has yet to miss a game this season, but he was a late addition to Thursday's injury report due to his back issue. He's been particularly productive recently, as he's posted double-doubles in two of the last three matchups. If he's unavailable against Utah, Will Barton will likely see increased run.
DECEMBER 22, 2022 โ€ข ROTOWIRE
Kristaps Porzingis - Misses practice Thursday Porzingis (illness) didn't participate in Thursday's practice, Kareem Copeland of The Washington Post reports.
Impact Porzingis will be a game-time decision for Thursday's game against the Jazz due to a non-COVID illness. His next opportunity to play is Friday's matchup with Sacramento if he can't suit up against Utah.
DECEMBER 22, 2022 โ€ข ROTOWIRE
Perspective | For these going-nowhere Wizards, it might be time to embrace losing The Wizards have plenty of first-rounders but not much to show for it, which has left them in a familiar place.
DECEMBER 22, 2022 โ€ข WASHINGTONPOST.COM
Rui Hachimura - Set to return Thursday Hachimura (ankle) is available for Thursday's matchup with the Jazz.
Impact Hachimura hasn't played since Nov. 18 due to a right ankle contusion. The 24-year-old forward will likely come off the bench Thursday, as he was averaging 11.6 points, 4.8 rebounds and 1.1 assists in 23.5 minutes across 16 games before going down to injury.
DECEMBER 22, 2022 โ€ข ROTOWIRE
Delon Wright - Remains sidelined against Utah Wright (hamstring) is out for Thursday's matchup with the Jazz.
Impact Wright's absence streak will be extended to 29 games due to a right hamstring strain. The 30-year-old forward's next chance to play is Friday's game versus the Kings, which was his target date to return.
DECEMBER 21, 2022 โ€ข ROTOWIRE
Kristaps Porzingis - Deemed questionable Thursday Porzingis (illness) is questionable to play in Thursday's game versus the Jazz.
Impact Porzingis is questionable to miss his second straight game due to a non-COVID illness. Daniel Gafford will likely remain in the starting lineup if he's unable to play Thursday.

Monte Morris - Modest production in win Morris logged nine points (4-10 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 0-1 FT), two rebounds, three assists, one block and three steals across 36 minutes during Tuesday's 113-110 win over Phoenix.
Impact Morris failed to reach 10 points for a second straight game but tied his season high with three steals, a mark he's reached just one other time. Since returning from a two-game absence due to a groin injury, Morris has averaged 12.0 points, 4.8 assists, 1.8 rebounds and 1.5 steals in 31.0 minutes over his past four games.
DECEMBER 21, 2022 โ€ข ROTOWIRE
Jordan Goodwin - Lackluster results in win Goodwin produced two points (1-5 FG, 0-1 3Pt) and three rebounds in 12 minutes during Tuesday's 113-110 victory over the Suns.
Impact Goodwin remained in a bench role for a fourth consecutive game Tuesday, and he was unable to generate much production in any categories while playing just 12 minutes. Over his last four appearances, he's averaged 7.0 points, 4.8 rebounds and 3.5 assists in 18.5 minutes per game.
DECEMBER 21, 2022 โ€ข ROTOWIRE
Will Barton - Remains limited in win Barton racked up six points (2-5 FG, 2-4 3Pt), one rebound and one assist in 17 minutes during Tuesday's 113-110 victory over the Suns.
Impact Barton scored in double figures in each of his first three appearances after returning from a two-game absence, but he's now been held below 10 points in back-to-back games. He was also unable to generate much production in secondary categories Tuesday, as he had one of his worst fantasy performances of the season.

Deni Avdija - Delivers double-double in win Avdija finished Tuesday's 113-110 win over the Suns with 16 points (4-8 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 6-6 FT), 10 rebounds, four assists and one block in 36 minutes.
Impact Although Avdija's numbers have been a little volatile, he's been a steady producer as a starter for the Wizards this season. His stat lines may occasionally disappoint, but the two double-doubles over his last three games are worth noting.
