Kings' Devin Carter: Questionable for Thursday
Carter (shoulder) is questionable for Thursday's game against the Rockets.
Carter is nursing left shoulder soreness that's jeopardizing his status for Thursday. The rookie first-rounder is logging just 14.3 minutes per game over six appearances this season, so his potential absence is unlikely to have significant implications on Sacramento's rotation. With Jordan McLaughlin (personal) out against Houston, however, the Kings may need to lean heavily on De'Aaron Fox, and Keon Ellis could have an expanded role.

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 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.

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.
