• Kings' DeMar DeRozan: Flirts with double-double in OT win

  36M ago • By RotoWire

  DeRozan accumulated 27 points (9-17 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 8-9 FT), four rebounds, nine assists, one block and two steals over 40 minutes during Sunday's 125-124 overtime victory over Houston. The Kings ended a five-game skid thanks to inspired performances throughout the first unit, with DeRozan finishing as the high scorer in the overtime victory. The veteran has had mixed success in an adjusted role due to Zach LaVine's (ankle) absence, spending more time in the backcourt as a complement to Russell Westbrook. Although he blew up for 33 points earlier in the week, DeRozan also experienced some of his lowest scoring totals of the season during the switch. While he can explode on any given night, his 18.4 point-per-game average this season is on pace to be his worst scoring average since 2012.

• Kings' DeMar DeRozan: Ties season-high in scoring

  3D ago • By RotoWire

  DeRozan accumulated 33 points (10-16 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 10-10 FT), four rebounds, three assists and two steals over 35 minutes during Thursday's 134-133 overtime loss to Portland. It was a vintage DeRozan night, as the veteran finished with 33 points on only 16 shots. He also made all 10 of his free throws. His scoring total matched a season high from November, when he also scored 33 against Minnesota. Now in year 17, DeRozan's scoring average (18.2) is below 20 points per game for the first time since the 2012-13 season. Still, DeRozan is good for an occasional scoring burst and decent overall fantasy production.

• Kings' DeMar DeRozan: Goes for 17 points in loss

  7D ago • By RotoWire

  DeRozan chipped in 17 points (8-15 FG, 1-1 3Pt), four rebounds, three assists, one block and one steal across 39 minutes during Sunday's 117-103 loss to the Timberwolves. DeRozan has failed to reach the 20-point mark in six of his last eight appearances, and the veteran forward has struggled to get into a groove offensively all season long. He's averaging 15.3 points, 3.3 rebounds and 2.9 assists per game over that eight-game stretch, and while he retains fantasy upside due to his role in Sacramento's scheme, his numbers are clearly down compared to recent years. He's posting the third-worst scoring average of his career at 17.7 points per game.

  DeRozan accumulated 20 points (8-16 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 4-5 FT), five rebounds, three assists and one steal in 36 minutes during Monday's 116-105 loss to the Pacers. DeRozan has been steady shooting the ball, averaging 18.1 points on 50.5 percent from the field and 38.5 percent from beyond the arc in his last seven games. While the Kings have been 2-5 in that stretch and are 6-18 on the season, DeRozan remains one of the team's few bright spots and continues to produce on a nightly basis.

  DeRozan produced 23 points (9-17 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), one rebound, four assists, one block and three steals across 35 minutes during Sunday's 115-107 loss to the Grizzlies. The 36-year-old forward led the Kings in scoring for the fourth time this season and the second time in the last four games, as the Kings try to compensate for the absence of Domantas Sabonis (knee). During the seven contests Sabonis has missed so far, DeRozan is averaging 17.6 points, 3.7 assists, 2.3 boards and 1.6 steals.
