Doug

McDermott

McDermott’s potential absence does not affect fantasy basketball, as he is not guaranteed rotation minutes when healthy. Leave him on the waiver wire.

McDermott will continue to be available despite dealing with left knee soreness. Despite being available each of Sacramento’s last two games, he didn’t see the floor. His availability won’t impact the team’s rotation.

McDermott has only appeared in two games this season. Even if he’s made available for Tuesday’s game, a DNP-CD is more likely than the veteran forward playing rotation minutes.

For the second straight night, McDermott has been upgraded from questionable to available. However, he was a DNP-CD on Saturday, and the chances of that happening against the Rockets are pretty high. Leave McDermott on the waiver wire.

McDermott was available for Saturday’s loss to the Trail Blazers but picked up a DNP-CD. Regardless of his availability for Sunday night, the veteran forward does not impact fantasy basketball.

While McDermott is available to play, the chances that he sees the floor are slim. Leave him on the waiver wire.

McDermott has played a grand total of 11 minutes across two appearances this season. His status won’t impact the Kings’ rotation whether he is available or not.

Eubanks exited Thursday’s game after playing just under four first-quarter minutes after suffering a right thumb injury. The severity and how much time he could potentially miss won’t be learned until Friday, but Eubanks’ exit leaves the Kings light on options in the post. Maxime Raynaud will play plenty, with Precious Achiuwa slotting into the backup center role. That has also opened up rotation minutes for Doug McDermott.

McDermott will return to the Kings for a second straight season after playing 8.1 minutes per game across 42 appearances last year. He will likely be a veteran depth piece once again this upcoming season.

With Malik Monk still sidelined, Carter should see increased run in this one. McDermott’s availability will have little impact in the realm of fantasy hoops due to his limited minutes when healthy.
