LaVine has been everything the Kings could’ve hoped for and more. The star guard, who has reached a new level while reuniting with DeMar DeRozan, is averaging 23.3 points, 4.2 rebounds, and 4.6 assists over his last 10 contests.

Recent games highlight how Net Points can challenge conventional thinking. Zach LaVine’s 42-point outburst ranked among the season’s most efficient performances (+15.4).

The shorthanded Kings were rolling through three quarters against the Denver Nuggets on Wednesday night at Ball Arena, with Sacramento leading Nikola Jokić and Co. by as many as 14 points in the third.

The Sacramento Kings had big nights from DeMar DeRozan and Zach LaVine, but fall in a battle to the Denver Nuggets 110-116.

The Nuggets are listing Nikola Jokic as questionable against the Suns due to left ankle inflammation. Jokic was listed on the injury report in Denver's last game against the Kings but suited up anyway, so many can expect him to be good to go for Friday's game but things could change.

Sacramento Kings guard Zach LaVine and New York Knicks guard Jalen Brunson have been named the NBA Western and Eastern Conference Players of the Week, respectively, for Week 19 of the 2024-25 season.
