Kings' Alex Len: Serves as backup center
Rotowire
Len played 16 minutes in Wednesday's 120-80 victory over the Trail Blazers, finishing with five points (2-4 FG, 1-2 FT), eight rebounds, two steals and one block.
Though he's been buried on the depth chart all season and has typically been the fourth-string center behind Domantas Sabonis, Chimezie Metu and Richaun Holmes, Len surprising got the first call off the bench when Sabonis received his first breather late in the first quarter. Len made the most of his court time and was a plus-29 during his minutes, good for the third-best mark on the team. While he won't get enough playing time to make for a usable streaming option when Sabonis is available, Len may have at least temporarily captured a rotation role.

Kings' Alex Len: Handed questionable designation
Rotowire
Len (illness) is questionable for Friday's game against Oklahoma City.
Len was a late scratch Wednesday as a non-COVID illness kept him, Matthew Dellavedova and Domantas Sabonis out of the contest. The three were all handed questionable tags and will likely be game-time decisions. However, if Len plays and Sabonis sits, he could crack the rotation.

Kings' Alex Len: Late scratch Wednesday
Rotowire
Len has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Lakers due to a non-COVID illness.
Len was a late scratch Wednesday afternoon due to an illness. The veteran big man hasn't appeared in a game since Jan. 1, so his absence shouldn't have a major impact on Sacramento's game plan.

Rotowire
Len isn't in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game versus the Nuggets.
Domantas Sabonis will replace Len in the starting five Wednesday after missing Tuesday's contest with a thumb injury. The 29-year-old big man may be entirely out of the rotation, as he is averaging only 4.3 minutes across nine games this season.

Kings' Alex Len: Flops in Tuesday's spot start
Rotowire
Len closed with two points (0-1 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT) and four rebounds across 14 minutes during Tuesday's 113-106 loss to Denver.
Len was given the starting nod after Domantas Sabonis was ruled out due to his finger injury but managed just 14 minutes. In reality, Len was a starter by name only, affording the majority of the minutes to Richaun Holmes and Trey Lyles. Based on this performance, Len can safely be sent back to the fantasy waiver wire.

Rotowire
Len (illness) is not listed in the injury report ahead of Monday's game against the Hornets.
Len has not featured in any of Sacramento's last five games, but the fact that he wasn't included in the injury report for Monday suggests he should be available to take on Charlotte. Even if he's available, Len shouldn't affect many fantasy rosters.

Kings' Alex Len: Out Sunday
Rotowire
Len won't suit up for Sunday's game against the Knicks due to a non-COVID-19-related illness.
Len hasn't been a member of the Kings' rotation all season and wasn't used off the bench in the team's last game Friday in a 106-95 win over the Cavaliers, so his absence Sunday shouldn't affect how the minutes are distributed in the Sacramento frontcourt.

Kings' Alex Len: Gets light run Monday
Rotowire
Len amassed zero points (0-1 FG) across two minutes during Monday's 115-108 victory over the Hornets.
Len has been a non-factor for Sacramento thus far, operating as the third traditional big behind Domantas Sabonis and Richaun Holmes. Even if a more prominent role becomes available, Len generated negative wins above replacement for the Kings last season and remains offensively limited.
