DeRozan (hamstring) will be available for Wednesday's game against the Raptors.
DeRozan was held out of Sunday's game against Brooklyn, though it was mostly maintenance-related. The veteran is averaging 14.5 points, 5.5 assists, 3.0 rebounds and 1.5 turnovers in 28.2 minutes per contest.

Kings' DeMar DeRozan: Won't play Sunday
Rotowire
DeRozan (hamstring) is listed as out for Sunday's game in Brooklyn.
DeRozan had 22 points across 30 minutes in Saturday's 123-113 loss to Atlanta. However, the veteran won't be available versus Brooklyn due to hamstring soreness. With Malik Monk (shoulder) also out, among several others, Killian Hayes, DaQuan Jeffries, Nique Clifford and Daeqwon Plowden should all receive more minutes, with two of those players potentially moving into the starting lineup.

Saturday marked the second game in a row that DeRozan led the Kings in scoring while connecting on 50.0 percent of his field-goal attempts.

Kings' DeMar DeRozan: Limited impact in loss
Rotowire
DeRozan provided seven points (3-10 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 1-3 FT), four rebounds and five assists in 29 minutes during Tuesday's 134-90 loss to the Hornets.
DeRozan was very underwhelming in this loss as the Kings dropped to 19-54 on the season. With nothing but lottery balls in play down the stretch, DeRozan could see his minutes and usage trend down.

Rotowire

DeRozan's playing time continues to occasionally fall victim to Sacramento's youth movement. The star forward's numbers are still solid overall despite some recent volatility, with DeRozan averaging 22.3 points, 5.2 assists, 2.5 rebounds and 1.2 steals in 30.0 minutes per tilt in his last six games.

Kings' DeMar DeRozan: Goes for 41 in win
Rotowire
DeRozan recorded 41 points (11-21 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 18-21 FT), 11 assists, four rebounds and three steals in 38 minutes during Sunday's 116-111 win over the Jazz.
DeRozan continued his run of stellar play Sunday, posting season highs in points and assists. It was just the second time in DeRozan's career that he posted a 40-point double-double with assists. Surprisingly, Sunday's contest was the first double-double he has recorded all season. Over his last three games, DeRozan is averaging 35.7 points and 8.0 assists while shooting an absurd 68.4 percent from the floor.

Kings' DeMar DeRozan: Erupts for 39 points
Rotowire
DeRozan generated 39 points (17-22 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 5-5 FT), six assists, four rebounds, two steals and one block across 41 minutes of Wednesday's 117-109 loss to the Hornets.
Charlotte had no answers for DeRozan defensively, as the veteran forward knocked down a ridiculous 80.9 percent of his attempts from inside the three-point arc. DeRozan's 39 points were a season high and his most since he dropped 42 on Feb. 10, 2025. It was a much-needed breakout game, as DeRozan had been averaging just 12.5 points, 4.0 assists and 2.3 rebounds while shooting 39 percent from the field over his last six appearances.

Kings' DeMar DeRozan: Tepid results in victory
Rotowire
DeRozan recorded 12 points (4-13 FG, 4-4 FT), three rebounds, one assist, two blocks and one steal across 24 minutes during Tuesday's 114-109 win over Indiana.
Although there was no official announcement about a minute restriction, DeRozan returned to action and played only 24 minutes after a one-game absence. He connected on just four of his 13 shot attempts and appeared a step slow, which is likely due to lingering effects of his recent illness.

Kings' DeMar DeRozan: Not listed on injury report
Rotowire
DeRozan (illness) isn't listed on the injury report for Tuesday's game against the Pacers.
DeRozan was a late scratch ahead of Sunday's win over Chicago due to an illness, though he's set to return to action Tuesday. With the veteran forward returning to the lineup, Daeqwon Plowden will likely revert to a bench role. DeRozan has averaged 12.6 points, 4.6 assists and 2.2 rebounds in 26.4 minutes per game over his last five appearances.

Kings' DeMar DeRozan: Won't play Sunday
Rotowire
DeRozan has been ruled out for Sunday's game versus Chicago due to an illness.
This will be DeRozan's first missed game of the season, and for now, he should be considered questionable for Tuesday's game versus the Pacers. Russell Westbrook should see a sizable uptick in usage with DeRozan out, and there should be more minutes available for Daeqwon Plowden, Doug McDermott and Malik Monk.

Kings' DeMar DeRozan: Playing time fluctuating
Rotowire
DeRozan racked up nine points (3-5 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds and eight assists over 22 minutes during Sunday's 128-104 loss to the Lakers.
The last-place Kings are starting to take a longer look at some of their young players, which bodes poorly for DeRozan's rest-of-season fantasy outlook. The veteran forward has tallied at least 30 minutes just one time over his last six outings, during which DeRozan has averaged 13.8 points, 5.8 assists, 2.2 rebounds and 0.8 steals in 25.7 minutes per game.

Kings' DeMar DeRozan: Ties for team lead with 20 points
Rotowire
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.
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.

Kings' DeMar DeRozan: Shaky stretch continues
Rotowire
DeRozan ended Monday's 120-94 loss to the Pelicans with eight points (3-11 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 2-3 FT), one rebound and one assist in 20 minutes.
Although Monday's game was a blowout, it's still beginning to look like the Kings are embracing a youth movement. With DeRozan's value starting to dip, fantasy managers should remain patient and hope his playing time climbs back up a bit. Over his last six contests, the veteran forward has averaged 14.0 points, 2.8 assists and 2.3 rebounds in 24.6 minutes per game while shooting just 39.4 percent from the floor.

Kings' DeMar DeRozan: Bounces back in loss
Rotowire
DeRozan closed with 32 points (10-16 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 11-12 FT), two rebounds, five assists and one block in 33 minutes during Sunday's 116-112 loss to Washington.
DeRozan managed to put Friday's measly six-point game behind him, responding with his second 30-point night in his last four appearances. He cleaned up from the charity stripe, where he added 11 of his 32 points. DeRozan has been a key contributor outside of Friday's dud, as he's averaging 22.2 points on 50.5 percent shooting from the field over his last six matchups.

Kings' DeMar DeRozan: Only six points in loss
Rotowire
DeRozan amassed six points (2-10 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 2-3 FT), one rebound and two assists over 18 minutes during Friday's 112-93 loss to the Celtics.
DeRozan had one of his worst performances of the season, recording fewer than seven points for the first time since mid-November. While this was a disappointing effort, DeRozan had scored at least 20 points in three of his previous four games. In 50 appearances this season, the veteran has averaged 19.0 points, 3.9 assists and 1.3 steals in 33.1 minutes per game, good enough for top 60 value in standard leagues.

Rotowire
DeRozan recorded 25 points (9-15 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 6-8 FT), eight assists and four rebounds over 38 minutes during the Kings' 113-111 loss to the 76ers on Thursday.

Since the start of the new year, DeRozan has averaged 20.8 points, 4.4 assists, 2.9 rebounds and 1.1 steals over 33.8 minutes per game.

Rotowire
DeRozan registered 34 points (13-26 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 7-8 FT), five rebounds and two turnovers across 39 minutes in Tuesday's 103-87 loss to the Knicks.
DeRozan saw some more shots falling his way with Zach LaVine (back) and Malik Monk (ankle) watching from the sidelines, and he fell just three points shy of matching his season high. However, the end result was yet another loss for the Kings, who dropped their sixth straight game Tuesday and are now 3-20 on the road this season.

Rotowire
DeRozan amassed 16 points (6-12 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 4-6 FT) and four assists over 19 minutes during Sunday's 139-116 loss to the Pistons.
DeRozan has been relatively consistent in the scoring department, hitting at least 16 points in all but one of his last appearances. However, he has not been very active from beyond the arc, failing to make a three-point shot in his past three games. Over his last 14 contests, the veteran forward is averaging 19.6 points, 2.8 rebounds, 4.4 assists, 1.3 steals and 0.3 blocks across 33.3 minutes.

Kings' DeMar DeRozan: Tallies 20 points vs. Cleveland
Rotowire
DeRozan ended with 20 points (6-12 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 8-9 FT), four rebounds and three assists in 30 minutes during Friday's 123-118 loss to the Cavaliers.
DeRozan led the Kings in made free throws Friday and finished as the team's third-leading scorer behind Domantas Sabonis (24 points) and Dennis Schroder (21 points). It was DeRozan's 21st 20-plus-point game of the season, and despite shooting 50.6 percent from the field this season, the veteran forward is averaging just 18.9 points per game, his lowest since the 2012-13 season as a member of the Raptors (18.1 points per game).
