Kings' Russell Westbrook: Ruled out for Wednesday
Westbrook (toe) is out for Wednesday's game against Toronto.
The veteran guard has no timetable for a return due to irritation in the joint of the first toe in his right foot. Given that the Kings are reeling in the standings, the club is probably not in a rush to push Westbrook to return.

Kings' Keegan Murray: Ruled out for Wednesday
Murray (ankle) is out for Wednesday's game against Toronto.
Murray is taking contact in practice amid his recovery from an ankle sprain, but he isn't ready for game action. Considering the Kings are buried in the standings, the team is unlikely to be in a hurry to bring Murray back.

Kings' DeMar DeRozan: Cleared for Wednesday
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' Malik Monk: Absent from injury report
Monk (shoulder) is off the injury report for Wednesday's game against Toronto.
Monk is set to return from a one-game absence with a shoulder injury that cost him Sunday's loss to the Nets. The veteran guard has averaged 13.2 points, 7.4 assists, 2.0 rebounds and 2.0 three-pointers in 27.0 minutes per tilt in his last five games.

Kings' DaQuan Jeffries: Notches 14 points in loss
Jeffries amassed 14 points (4-9 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 4-4 FT), two rebounds and two steals in 26 minutes during Sunday's 116-99 loss to the Nets.
With DeMar DeRozan (hamstring) sidelined, Jeffries was able to step into a large role off the bench. Jeffries, who is on a 10-day contract, has fared well in three appearances with 10.3 points, 1.7 rebounds, 0.7 steals and 1.3 three-pointers in 20.0 minutes per contest.

Kings' Devin Carter: Plays well in start
Carter contributed 20 points (6-12 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 5-5 FT), eight rebounds, five assists and one steal in 29 minutes during Sunday's 116-99 loss to the Nets.
With Russell Westbrook (toe) without a timetable and the Kings sitting Malik Monk (shoulder) and DeMar DeRozan (hamstring) Sunday, Carter was able to start and soak up a ton of usage. Across six starts this season, Carter has fared well with 14.7 points, 4.7 rebounds, 3.7 assists, 1.2 steals and 1.7 three-pointers on 42.0 percent shooting.

Kings' Daeqwon Plowden: Starting Sunday
Plowden will start Sunday versus the Nets, James Ham of ESPN 1320 Sacramento reports.
Plowden is getting a spot start with DeMar DeRozan (hamstring) unavailable, and he'll be joined in the first unit by Devin Carter, Nique Clifford, Precious Achiuwa and Maxime Raynaud. Through three starts this season, Plowden has averaged 17.3 points, 3.7 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 2.7 triples per contest.

Kings' Nique Clifford: Back in starting lineup
Clifford will start Sunday's game against the Nets, James Ham of ESPN 1320 Sacramento reports.
Clifford returned from a two-game absence Saturday and struggled, making just one of 11 shots from the floor. Clifford will return to a starting role for the second half of the team's back-to-back set. Over his last five starts, he holds averages of 12.2 points, 5.0 assists, 4.8 rebounds and 1.2 steals in 33.2 minutes per contest.

Kings' Malik Monk: Won't suit up against Nets
Monk (shoulder) is listed as out ahead of Sunday's game in Brooklyn.
Monk started in each of the Kings' last three contests, most recently finishing with 10 points, two rebounds, seven assists and one steal across 27 minutes in Saturday's 123-113 loss to Atlanta. However, he won't suit up Sunday due to a right-shoulder contusion. With DeMar DeRozan (hamstring) and several other players also ruled out, DaQuan Jeffries, Nique Clifford, Daeqwon Plowden and Killian Hayes should all see more action, with two of them possibly moving into the starting lineup.

Kings' DeMar DeRozan: Won't play Sunday
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.

Kings' Nique Clifford: Goes 1-for-11 in return
Clifford (foot) finished Saturday's 123-113 loss to the Hawks with three points (1-11 FG, 1-6 3Pt), five assists, four rebounds and one block over 23 minutes.
Clifford was given the green light to return from a two-game absence due to a left mid-foot sprain. He came off the bench in his return but struggled mightily from the field, with the 1-for-11 performance dropping his field-goal percentage to 40.2 percent on the campaign. The rookie first-round pick should see plenty of playing time down the stretch for the non-contending Kings, and while he should be able to put up serviceable counting statistics, he'll likely remain a drain in the field-goal and free-throw percentage categories.

Kings' DaQuan Jeffries: Strong showing off bench
Jeffries posted 15 points (6-9 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 1-1 FT), three rebounds and one assist over 27 minutes during the Kings' 123-113 loss to the Hawks on Saturday.
Jeffries gave the Kings a bit of a spark with 12 points in the second half (including seven in the fourth quarter) to lead the bench in scoring and the team with a plus-eight point differential. It was his second outing with Sacramento after signing a 10-day hardship contract Thursday, and the Tulsa product should continue to see meaningful playing time off the bench given the plethora of Kings players sidelined due to injury.

Kings' DeMar DeRozan: Team-high 22 points in loss
DeRozan finished Saturday's 123-113 loss to Atlanta with 22 points (9-18 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 3-3 FT), five rebounds and three assists over 30 minutes.
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. The veteran forward is averaging 18.5 points per game this season, which is his lowest mark since the 2012-13 season with the Raptors (18.1 points per game), though he's connecting on 49.5 percent of his field-goal attempts.

Kings' Maxime Raynaud: Double-doubles vs. Atlanta
Raynaud logged 18 points (5-8 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 6-8 FT), 10 rebounds and one steal over 30 minutes during the Kings' 123-113 loss to the Hawks on Saturday.
Raynaud scored seven of his 18 points in the first quarter and finished as the Kings' second-leading scorer behind DeMar DeRozan (22 points) while posting his 17th double-double of the season. It was the fourth time this season that Raynaud connected on at least two threes, with three of those games occurring within his last six outings. The rookie second-rounder has averaged 18.2 points, 8.6 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 0.8 blocks over 33.1 minutes per game since March 1. Raynaud is establishing himself as a long-term piece for the Kings, which might give the franchise something to think about when it comes to the future of Domantas Sabonis (knee).

Kings' Nique Clifford: Not starting in return
Clifford won't start Saturday's game against the Hawks, James Ham of ESPN 1320 Sacramento reports.
The rookie first-rounder is available to return from a two-game absence due to a left mid-foot sprain, though Malik Monk will remain in the starting five. Over 46 appearances off the bench this season, Clifford has averaged 6.3 points and 2.8 rebounds in 19.7 minutes per contest.

Kings' Killian Hayes: Available versus Hawks
Hayes (finger) is listed as available for Saturday's game against Atlanta.
Hayes has dealt with a few injuries of late. His latest issue, left finger soreness, forced him to exit Thursday's 121-117 loss to Orlando. Hayes was initially listed as questionable heading into the matchup with Atlanta but will suit up, potentially leading to less work for Devin Carter.
