McDermott will come off the bench Thursday night against the Lakers, Ryan Ward of LakersNation.com reports. McDermott entered the starting lineup Monday in place of Keegan Murray (ankle), but the Creighton product will resume his usual role Thursday following Murray's return to play. McDermott is averaging 3.0 points over 4.0 minutes in his last eight appearances off the bench.

McDermott amassed 16 points (6-9 FG, 4-7 3Pt) and one rebound across 27 minutes during Monday's 130-129 loss to the Nuggets. McDermott got the start Monday due to the absence of Keegan Murray (ankle), and the veteran responded with an efficient performance and some much-needed floor spacing. His role in the upcoming games will be determined by Murray's availability, but expect McDermott to experience a slight uptick in minutes and usage rate if Murray remains sidelined.

McDermott will start in Monday's game against the Nuggets, Brenden Nunes of KHTK Sactown Sports 1140 reports. With Keegan Murray (ankle) sidelined, McDermott will pick up his third start across 20 regular-season appearances. The 32-year-old forward delivered a season-best performance in last Sunday's win over Utah, during which he posted 18 points (6-7 FG, 6-7 3Pt) over only eight minutes, before receiving a DNP-CD in Thursday's win over the Pelicans.

McDermott contributed 18 points (6-7 FG, 6-7 3Pt) over eight minutes during Sunday's 141-97 victory over Utah. The Kings ran away with this game early, allowing McDermott to feast in garbage time as he reached double-digit points for the first time this season. McDermott is usually not in the rotation for the Kings, so this can be chalked up as an outlier performance.

McDermott will come off the bench in Monday's game against the Hawks, Frankie Cartoscelli of KHTK Sactown Sports 1140 reports. Alex Len will enter the starting lineup with McDermott retreating to the second unit. The 32-year-old forward has carved out a decent role with the club this year, and in his last five outings he has averaged 4.4 points and 1.4 rebounds across 14.8 minutes per game (one start).
