Kings' Zach LaVine: Shines with 36 points in win
Zach LaVine totaled 36 points (14-22 FG, 7-11 3Pt, 1-1 FT), four rebounds and three assists in 39 minutes during Friday's 127-109 victory over San Antonio.LaVine strutted his stuff in front of De'Aaron Fox, who failed to make an impact against his former team. Malik Monk's (toe) absence only enhanced LaVine's dominance in the backcourt, illustrating the obvious improvements made that involved shipping Fox out of town. LaVine shipped seven three-pointers in the decisive win, marking his second-highest total of the season beyond the arc. The Sacramento Kings are 2-1 without Domantas Sabonis (hamstring), and excellent totals from LaVine and the rest of the starting five are keeping Sacramento's playoff hopes afloat.

Kings' Zach LaVine: Hits for 22 in Saturday's win
Zach LaVine posted 22 points (7-14 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 7-7 FT), four rebounds, five assists and one steal across 37 minutes during Saturday's 123-118 win over the Pelicans.The 29-year-old wing produced 22 points for the second straight game as he begins to get comfortable with the Sacramento Kings. LaVine has attempted 15.3 FGs, 5.7 FTs and 6.7 three-pointers a game in his three appearances for Sacramento so far, volume comparable to his usual usage in Chicago, which should be reassuring to GMs with fantasy shares in him who may have been worried how he would fit alongside Domantas Sabonis, DeMar DeRozan and Malik Monk.

Kings' Zach LaVine: Finds rhythm Thursday
Zach LaVine registered 22 points (8-19 FG, 3-9 3Pt, 3-4 FT), four rebounds, one assist and one block over 37 minutes during Thursday's 108-102 loss to the Trail Blazers.After a disappointing Sacramento Kings debut Wednesday that included an 0-for-4 performance from three-point range, LaVine looked more comfortable in his second game with his new club. The 29-year-old wing is still trying to figure out how he best fits in the Sacramento lineup alongside DeMar DeRozan, Malik Monk and Domantas Sabonis, and LaVine could eventually take on a bigger distribution role. However, he doesn't appear to be headed for a decline in his shot volume.

Kings' Zach LaVine: Limited to 13 points in debut
Zach LaVine (personal) logged 13 points (4-13 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 5-6 FT), three assists, one rebound and one steal over 31 minutes during Wednesday's 130-111 loss to the Magic.Before he was traded to the Sacramento Kings on Sunday, LaVine had missed the Bulls' most previous three games while observing the birth of his child. He wasn't available for the Kings' 116-114 win over the Timberwolves on Monday, but LaVine joined his new team and made his debut Wednesday, slotting into the starting spot in the backcourt that was vacated by De'Aaron Fox being traded to San Antonio. While LaVine took on sizable minutes right off the bat for his new squad, he struggled to find his shooting touch as the Magic trounced the Kings. LaVine may have a bit of an adjustment period in Sacramento, but he should eventually settle into a similarly high-usage role that he enjoyed during his time with the Bulls.
