Kings' Keon Ellis: Logs 18 points with first unit
Ellis chipped in 18 points (5-11 FG, 5-8 3Pt, 3-3 FT), four rebounds, one assist and one steal over 31 minutes during Tuesday's 130-115 loss to the Bucks.
Ellis' perimeter game was on point Tuesday, with five three-pointers in eight attempts beyond the arc. Although Malik Monk (groin) has cemented his first-unit role, Ellis got a chance to shine during his teammate's absence. Ellis has also played as a replacement for De'Aaron Fox, making Ellis the team's top second-unit option in the backcourt.

Kings' De'Aaron Fox: Logs double-double with 11 boards
Fox provided 20 points (9-23 FG, 2-8 3Pt), 11 rebounds, six assists and one block over 38 minutes during Tuesday's 130-115 loss to the Bucks.
Fox usually hits the double-double milestone via a high assist total, but Fox achieved the point-rebound double-double for the second time this season during Tuesday's defeat. Although Fox is enjoying some of the best numbers of his eight-year career, he's recorded only six double-doubles, which is surprising considering his voluminous production.

DeRozan finished with 28 points (9-18 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 8-9 FT), six rebounds, four assists and one steal across 36 minutes during Tuesday's 130-115 loss to Milwaukee.
DeRozan and the rest of the first unit recorded solid numbers, but it wasn't enough to upend the Bucks. The dynamic veteran is on a nice four-game run, averaging 25.8 points, 5.0 assists and 3.8 rebounds over the span.

Kings' Malik Monk: Ruled out Tuesday
Monk (groin) will not play Tuesday against the Bucks, Chris Biderman of The Sacramento Bee reports.
Monk was previously carrying a questionable tag which suggests that he's day-to-day, but he will sit out his first game since Nov. 24. His next chance to play will be Thursday against the Rockets, and fantasy managers can consider him questionable for that contest. As for Tuesday, the Kings could turn to Keon Ellis and Kevin Huerter to step into larger roles.

Kings' Malik Monk: Iffy for Tuesday
Monk (groin) is listed as questionable for Tuesday's game against the Bucks.
Monk is in danger of missing his first contest since Nov. 24 due to right groin soreness. The 26-year-old has carved out a significant role in the starting five this season, and if he's sidelined, Keon Ellis and Kevin Huerter are candidates for increased roles. Over his last five outings, Monk has averaged 24.0 points, 8.2 assists, 4.2 rebounds and 2.0 steals in 37.0 minutes per contest.

Kings' Keon Ellis: Leads bench in scoring in victory
Ellis supplied eight points (3-5 FG, 2-4 3Pt), two rebounds and one steal in 20 minutes during Sunday's 124-119 win over the Bulls.
Ellis was back on the Kings bench Sunday due to the return of De'Aaron Fox (hip), leading all second-unit players in scoring during a bench-leading minute total in a winning effort. Ellis has provided a nice lift to Sacramento as of late, posting at least eight points in four of his last five contests and in 16 outings so far this season.

Kings' Domantas Sabonis: Dominates in paint in victory
Sabonis provided 22 points (8-11 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 5-6 FT), 16 rebounds, eight assists and one block across 38 minutes during Sunday's 124-119 victory over the Bulls.
Sabonis once again did it all for Sacramento in Sunday's contest, leading all players in rebounds while finishing as one of three players with 20 or more points and ending two assists short of a triple-double. Sabonis has recorded at least 20 points, 10 rebounds and five assists in 10 outings this season, doing so in three of his last four contests.

Kings' Malik Monk: Flirts with triple-double in win
Monk closed Sunday's 124-119 win over the Bulls with 18 points (7-18 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 3-3 FT), eight rebounds, nine assists and two steals across 37 minutes.
Monk did a little bit of everything for Sacramento in the starting lineup Sunday, leading all players in assists and steals while finishing as one of four players with 15 or more points and coming up one dime and two rebounds shy of a triple-double. Monk posted his sixth game of the season with at least 15 points, five rebounds and five assists while securing at least 18 points or a sixth straight outing.

Kings' De'Aaron Fox: Scores efficiently in return
Fox (glute) recorded 26 points (9-16 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 4-5 FT), nine rebounds, three assists and one block across 33 minutes in Sunday's 124-119 win over the Bulls.
In his return from a three-game absence due to a bruised right glute, Fox ceded more of the distribution responsibilities to backcourt mate Malik Monk (team-high nine assists), but Fox made up for the atypically low assist count by displaying some rare hot shooting from three-point land. Considering Fox came into the contest converting only 32.1 percent of his three-point attempts on the season, fantasy managers shouldn't count on him providing more than one or two triples in most contests, but more importantly, the 27-year-old guard looked healthy and composed in his return to the court. Managers can feel safe in rolling out Fox for the Kings' upcoming three-game week.

Kings' Keon Ellis: Slides to bench Sunday
Ellis will come off the bench in Sunday's game against the Bulls, James Ham of ESPN 1320 Sacramento reports.
With De'Aaron Fox (hip) returning to game action, Ellis will retreat to the bench. The 25-year-old started in each of the club's last five outings with Fox and Keegan Murray each sidelined at some point, during which Ellis had averaged 11.2 points, 3.4 rebounds, 3.0 steals and 2.4 assists in 33.6 minutes per contest.

Kings' De'Aaron Fox: Will return Sunday
Fox (hip) is available for Sunday's game against the Bulls.
Fox has been upgraded from questionable to available and will return to action following a three-game absence due to a right glute contusion. Fox's return will send Keon Ellis back to the bench, while Malik Monk's usage will take a hit. Before the injury, Fox scored at least 23 points in nine straight games, averaging 28.3 points, 6.3 assists, 4.6 rebounds and 1.4 steals in 37.6 minutes a night during that stretch.

Kings' De'Aaron Fox: Questionable to play Sunday
Fox (hip) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Bulls.
Fox has missed the Kings' last three games due to a right glute contusion. He was able to participate in the Kings' shootaround before Friday's game against the Celtics, but he wasn't able to progress enough in his recovery to play. Keon Ellis would remain in the starting lineup and Malik Monk would continue to see a larger role on offense if Fox is unable to play Sunday.
