Lyles (back) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Grizzlies.
Lyles was unable to play in Friday's loss to the Suns due to lower-back soreness, but he has a chance to return Monday. Jake LaRavia would be in line for increased minutes off the bench if Lyles is not cleared to return Monday.

Kings' Trey Lyles: Iffy to face Phoenix on Friday
Rotowire
Lyles (back) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Suns.
Lyles is dealing with lower-back soreness and could miss the second half of the club's back-to-back set. He posted 11 points (4-6 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 1-1 FT), five rebounds and two steals across 22 minutes during Thursday's loss to the Warriors. The big man has been serving as the club's backup center due to Domantas Sabonis (hamstring) being sidelined. If Lyles and Sabonis are both downgraded from questionable to out Friday, Isaac Jones would be a candidate for a bump in minutes behind Jonas Valanciunas.

Kings' Trey Lyles: Efficient outing in defeat
Rotowire
Lyles totaled 11 points (4-6 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 1-1 FT), five rebounds and two steals in 22 minutes during Thursday's 130-104 loss to Golden State.
Lyles posted double-digit points for the first time since Jan. 25. He has logged nine outings with at least 10 points across 54 regular-season appearances. Jonas Valanciunas has started in each of the club's last six games due to Domantas Sabonis (hamstring) being sidelined, during which Lyles has averaged 17.0 minutes per contest while serving as the backup center.

Kings' Trey Lyles: Iffy for Thursday
Rotowire
Lyles (leg) is questionable for Thursday's game against the Warriors.
Lyles is dealing with some lower leg soreness and could be held out for the first game of this back-to-back set. Lyles has played a very minimal role for the Kings recently, so his status won't have a big impact on fantasy leagues.

Kings' Trey Lyles: Muted performance in loss
Rotowire
Lyles registered three points (1-4 FG, 1-3 3Pt), one rebound and one assist across 14 minutes during Monday's 133-104 loss to the Knicks.
Despite the absence of Domantas Sabonis (hamstring), Lyles has been unable to make much noise in fantasy formats. Over his last 10 games, Lyles has averaged 13.7 minutes per contest with 4.6 points, 4.0 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 0.7 three-pointers on 43.9 percent shooting from the field.

Kings' Trey Lyles: Nearly double-doubles
Rotowire
Lyles supplied nine points (4-4 FG, 1-1 3Pt), nine rebounds and six assists over 20 minutes during Monday's 122-98 win over the Mavericks.
With Domantas Sabonis out with a Grade 1 hamstring strain, a few more minutes could continue to trickle down to Lyles if he plays like this. He's had a very quiet season overall, posting 6.2 points, 4.5 rebounds, 1.1 assists and 1.2 three-pointers in 18.4 minutes per contest.

Kings' Trey Lyles: Used sparingly again Wednesday
Rotowire
Lyles logged one point (0-5 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 1-2 FT) and two rebounds over nine minutes during Wednesday's 119-111 victory over the Pelicans.
Lyles played no more than 10 minutes for the third straight game, a trend that has unsurprisingly coincided with the arrival of Jonas Valanciunas. Serving as the third-string center, Lyles' role is likely to be limited moving forward, despite the fact that he does provide the Kings with a floor-spacing option.

Kings' Trey Lyles: Strong defensive performance
Rotowire
Lyles amassed five points (2-4 FG, 1-3 3Pt), eight rebounds, three assists, two blocks and two steals in 23 minutes during Monday's 116-114 win over the Timberwolves.
Lyles made an impact defensively in Monday's win against the Timberwolves. The 29-year-old veteran finished with season-high totals in blocks (2) and steals (2), helping Sacramento get the best of Anthony Edwards and company in Minnesota.

Kings' Trey Lyles: Nears double-double in loss
Rotowire
Lyles recorded 12 points (4-9 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 1-2 FT), nine rebounds, one assist and one steal in 22 minutes during Thursday's 132-123 loss to the Nuggets.
Lyles came one rebound shy of securing his second double-double of the season and delivered a fairly productive performance in the loss. The big man should continue to serve as Domantas Sabonis' primary backup, and over his last five outings, Lyles has averaged 6.6 points and 4.4 rebounds across 18.0 minutes per contest.

Kings' Trey Lyles: Hauls in 11 rebounds off bench
Rotowire
Lyles amassed seven points (2-5 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 11 rebounds, three assists, one block and one steal in 28 minutes during Friday's 114-97 victory over the Celtics.
Although Lyles fell just three points short of his second double-double of the campaign, he was still able to haul in double-digit rebounds for the first time since a Nov. 18 loss to Atlanta. The 29-year-old veteran big man has quietly been very effective off Sacramento's bench over his last eight appearances, as he's averaged 11.0 points, 7.0 rebounds, 1.1 assists, 0.9 steals and 2.3 threes in 24.9 minutes while shooting 43.9 percent from three-point land. Lyles is worth streaming in most fantasy leagues while he's hot, but his upside will remain capped by the presence of a healthy Domantas Sabonis.

Kings' Trey Lyles: Provides spark off bench
Rotowire
Lyles chipped in 12 points (4-9 FG, 4-8 3Pt), seven rebounds, two assists and two steals in 31 minutes during Wednesday's 113-107 win over Philadelphia.
Lyles' four made threes accounted for 12 of Sacramento's 14 total bench points during Wednesday's victory. While the 29-year-old forward is shooting 39.0 percent from the field this season, he is converting 36.7 percent of his 4.1 three-point attempts per contest.

Kings' Trey Lyles: Props up frontcourt with 20 points
Rotowire
Lyles supplied 20 points (5-8 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 6-8 FT) and eight rebounds in 25 minutes during Thursday's 114-113 loss to Detroit.
Alex Len proved to be ineffective as Domantas Sabonis' (illness) direct replacement, prompting Lyles to step in and take a larger role. Point-for-point, Lyles has been a better option as Sabonis' fill-in throughout the season, though Len was probably a more logical player to size up against Jalen Duren. Lyles has floor-stretching ability and an accurate perimeter game that Len lacks, making him a more suitable pivot when Sabonis is off the court.

Kings' Trey Lyles: Good to go Sunday
Rotowire
Lyles (calf) is listed as available for Sunday's game against Indiana.
Lyles will play in his second consecutive outing following a 10-game absence due to a right calf strain. It wouldn't come as a surprise if the big man operates under a minutes restriction, meaning Isaac Jones and Alex Len could be in line for a slight uptick in playing time.

Kings' Trey Lyles: Questionable to play Saturday
Rotowire
Lyles (calf) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Lakers.
Lyles suffered a Grade 1 right calf strain in late November, and he has been sidelined ever since. In the 10 games prior to his injury, he averaged 7.0 points, 4.8 rebounds and 1.1 assists over 23.0 minutes per game. Lyles was initially slated to return Thursday against the Lakers but was added back to the injury report and eventually ruled out. If he's unable to play in Saturday's rematch, his next opportunity would be against the Pacers on Sunday.

Kings' Trey Lyles: Downgraded to out
Rotowire
Lyles (calf) won't play Thursday against the Lakers, Sean Cunningham of Fox 40 Sacramento reports.
Lyles was added to the injury report earlier in the day and has now been ruled out for Thursday's action. He hasn't seen the court since Nov. 25 due to his current role in the rotation, so his presence shouldn't be missed much.

Kings' Trey Lyles: Late addition to injury report
Rotowire
Lyles is deemed questionable for Thursday's game versus the Lakers due to right calf soreness, Sean Cunningham of Fox 40 Sacramento reports.
Lyles missed Sacramento's last nine contests due to a left calf strain. While he was previously deemed available for Thursday, the 29-year-old forward will now go through pre-game warmups to determine his availability.

Kings' Trey Lyles: Off injury report
Rotowire
Lyles (calf) is available for Thursday's game against the Lakers.
Lyles will return from a nine-game absence due to a right calf strain. His return comes at an opportune time for the Kings, as Domantas Sabonis (back) is questionable for Thursday's contest. However, Lyles would likely be under a minutes restriction even if Sabonis is sidelined.

Kings' Trey Lyles: Logs full practice Wednesday
Rotowire
Lyles (calf) logged a full practice Wednesday, and there's optimism that he might be available for Thursday's game against the Lakers, Brenden Nunes of KHTK Sactown Sports 1140 reports.
Lyles has been trending in the right direction toward being available over the last few days, and a full practice Wednesday suggests the forward could be ready to go Thursday, assuming he doesn't have any setbacks. His possible return comes as Keegan Murray (undisclosed) and Domantas Sabonis (undisclosed) could be in line to miss Thursday's contest, meaning Lyles could, at the very least, add some much-needed depth in the frontcourt.
