Jason Thompson scored 20 points with eight boards, one assist, one steal and two blocks on 8-of-12 shooting on Wednesday.

He scored just two points in his last game, but scored at least 15 points in his three previous contests. Thompson's fouls have been on the rise and with Patrick Patterson expected back soon, there's very little reason to pick him up. The Kings do have four games left from Friday to Wednesday, which could help some owners.

Jason Thompson scored four points with four boards and one block in 21 minutes against the Wolves on Thursday.

His production has dropped off and the emergence of Patrick Patterson is the culprit for him. Thompson and the Kings have a sub-par schedule the rest of the way, so he's a prime candidate to cut in several leagues.

Jason Thompson collided with DeAndre Jordan on Tuesday and didn't return to the game after receiving stitches, finishing with just two points and two rebounds in 15 minutes.

With Patrick Patterson available and playing well, Thompson simply wasn't needed to come back in the game. Thompson scored just seven points in his previous game, but had scored in double figures in six straight prior to his last two duds. He's in a timeshare with Patterson now, but his injury doesn't appear to be serious and he's still the Kings' starting power forward until further notice.
