Fox totaled 31 points (12-17 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 4-4 FT), five rebounds, seven assists and one steal over 38 minutes during Saturday's 103-99 loss to the Lakers.
Fox led the way for Sacramento on the offensive end of the floor Saturday, leading all players in scoring and threes made while ending second on the team in assists in a well-rounded showing. Fox has surpassed the 30-point mark in six outings this season, adding at least five assists in four of those outings.

Kings' De'Aaron Fox: Posts team-high 26 points in loss
Rotowire
Fox had 26 points (7-17 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 10-11 FT), three rebounds, five assists and three steals across 36 minutes during Thursday's 113-100 loss to the Lakers.
There's little reason to blame Fox for the defeat, as he was very effective on both sides of the ball while turning in another excellent line. Fox is on pace to produce the best season of his career, as he's currently besting previous season averages in rebounds, assists and field-goal percentage. His only drop-off is his proficiency from downtown, where he's converting at a 32.6 percent clip.

Kings' De'Aaron Fox: Puts up 29 points Monday
Rotowire
Fox closed with 29 points (11-24 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 5-6 FT), five rebounds, seven assists and one block in 39 minutes during Monday's 130-129 loss to Denver.
Fox snapped a seven-game stretch in which he didn't reach the 25-point mark, and this was the first time he accomplished that feat since Nov. 27 in a 115-104 win over the Timberwolves. The star floor general continues to find ways to impact the game even when he's not carrying the offense, though the Kings also have DeMar DeRozan, Domantas Sabonis and even Malik Monk to pick up the slack at times offensively. Fox is averaging 21.9 points, 7.3 assists and 5.4 rebounds per game since the beginning of December.

Kings' De'Aaron Fox: Full line despite poor shooting
Rotowire
Fox accumulated 18 points (7-20 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 3-4 FT), seven rebounds, eight assists, one block and one steal across 37 minutes during Thursday's 111-109 victory over the Pelicans.
Fox didn't have his best shooting performance and finished with more field-goal attempts than points scored. However, that could very well end up being overlooked when analyzing his full line, as he finished just two dimes and three boards away from a triple-double. Fox can take over offensively on any given game for the Kings but remains valuable in fantasy even in games where he takes a step back to the likes of Domantas Sabonis and DeMar DeRozan. Fox is averaging 20.7 points, 7.3 assists and 5.5 rebounds per game since the beginning of December.

Kings' De'Aaron Fox: Sniffs double-double
Rotowire
Fox posted 21 points (9-16 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 2-4 FT), four rebounds, nine assists and one block across 31 minutes during Sunday's 141-97 win over the Jazz.
While it'd be unfair to say Fox is going through a cold stretch, he's certainly not putting up the same numbers he delivered in the early stages of the season. He's gone six straight games without scoring more than 23 points, but he's still averaging 21.3 points, 6.8 assists, 5.2 rebounds and 1.8 steals per game while shooting 44.8 percent from the floor in that span.

Kings' De'Aaron Fox: Hits for 22 in loss
Rotowire
Fox produced 22 points (8-18 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 5-7 FT), five rebounds and five assists in 36 minutes during Friday's 115-106 loss to the Trail Blazers.
The 26-year-old point guard put the finishing touches on a strong November that saw him score more than 20 points in 15 of 16 games, averaging 29.3 points, 5.3 assists, 5.1 boards, 2.2 threes and 1.6 steals on the month while shooting 50.6 percent from the floor. Fox has averaged more than 20 points a game in each of the five previous seasons, but the addition of DeMar DeRozan (back) to the Kings' lineup has created some extra space for him -- Fox's 27.7 PPG so far in 2024-25 would be a career high.

Kings' De'Aaron Fox: Bounces back in near triple-double
Rotowire
Fox accumulated 26 points (10-22 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 3-5 FT), eight rebounds, eight assists and two steals over 38 minutes during Wednesday's 115-104 victory over the Timberwolves.
After scoring a season-low 14 points in Monday's loss to the Thunder, Fox wasted little time getting right back on track by flirting with a triple-double in Wednesday's win over Minnesota. Since the calendar flipped to November, Fox is averaging an outstanding 29.7 points, 5.3 assists, 5.1 rebounds, 1.7 steals and 2.3 three-pointers in 38.3 minutes per game across 10 outings. The 26-year-old star guard is taking on more responsibility on offense in the void of star wing DeMar DeRozan (back), and Fox should continue returning enhanced value if that absence extends into Friday's matchup in Portland.

Kings' De'Aaron Fox: Crashes down to Earth
Rotowire
Fox logged 14 points (5-14 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 3-4 FT), three rebounds, five assists and one steal across 40 minutes during Monday's 130-109 loss to Oklahoma City.
Fox finally saw his impressive scoring streak end Monday, posting a season-low scoring mark and needing 14 field-goal attempts to score 14 points. Despite this subpar outing, which was bound to happen given his recent numbers, Fox remains one of the most productive point guards in the Western Conference. He's averaging 31.6 points per game over his last 10 games, a span in which he's also putting up 6.1 dimes per contest while shooting 53.5 percent from the floor.
Fox provided 31 points (10-16 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 8-12 FT), one rebound, five assists and two steals in 38 minutes during Sunday's 108-103 loss to the Nets.
Fox was efficient as a scorer and eclipsed the 31-point mark for the third time over his last five outings. Furthermore, the star floor general has scored at least 28 points in six straight contests. He's been one of the most productive guards in The Association regardless of the format over the last two weeks, and fantasy managers are certainly reaping the benefits of his production. Fox is averaging a career-high 28.9 points per game through 17 appearances this season.

Kings' De'Aaron Fox: Drops game-high 29 in loss
Rotowire
Fox accumulated 29 points (10-20 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 8-10 FT), seven rebounds, seven assists and one steal across 43 minutes during Friday's 104-88 loss to the Clippers.
The 26-year-old point guard continues his torrid November pace. Fox has scored better than 20 points in every game this month, averaging 31.3 points, 5.3 boards, 5.2 assists, 2.3 threes and 1.8 steals through 12 contests while shooting 51.7 percent from the floor.
Fox amassed 28 points (11-23 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 3-4 FT), five rebounds, seven assists and one steal across 39 minutes during Monday's 109-108 loss to Atlanta.
Fox has surpassed the 20-point mark in all but two of his appearances this season, and the star floor general has been one of the hottest players in the league in recent days thanks to four consecutive appearances with 28 or more points. During that stretch, Fox is averaging 41.5 points per game while shooting 57.1 percent from the field on 26.3 attempts per game. That's not sustainable in the long run, but with DeMar DeRozan (back) and Domantas Sabonis (back) sidelined, the Kings should continue to ride Fox's hot hand.
Fox had 49 points (16-30 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 14-19 FT), nine assists, three rebounds and two steals across 36 minutes during Saturday's 121-117 victory over Utah.
Fox kept humming on all cylinders following his stellar 60-point showing against the Timberwolves. He's taken a whopping 65 shot attempts over the past two games and has been given license to turn it loose in the offense, which has been slightly short-handed amid DeMar DeRozan's (back) two-game absence, which was compounded Saturday by Domantas Sabonis (back) also sitting out. DeRozan's offensive output has taken the pressure off Fox and Sabonis to ball out every night, and the significant increase from Fox is partly due to the missing production at the wing, as well down low Saturday. Fox's numbers will flatten out once DeRozan returns, but he's currently on an amazing run that could persist as long as at least one of his two star teammates is out.

Kings' De'Aaron Fox: Explodes for 60 points Friday
Rotowire
Fox recorded 60 points (22-35 FG, 6-10 3Pt, 10-11 FT), seven assists, three rebounds, three steals and one block over 44 minutes in Friday's 130-126 overtime loss to the Timberwolves.
Fox broke the Kings' franchise record for most points in a single game Friday that was previously established by Jack Twyman (59) in the 1959-60 regular season. Fox made clutch basket after clutch basket, and he scored 33 of his 60 points in the second half, helping the Kings force overtime after being down by as many as 20 points. He's now averaging 27.3 points on 50.6 percent shooting, 5.3 assists, 5.2 rebounds and 1.8 steals over 37.5 minutes per game to start the 2024-25 regular season. Fox and the Kings will look to get back in the win column Saturday against the Jazz.
