Fox (hip) will not play Monday against the Heat.

EDGE Analysis

Sunday's game against the Warriors was Fox's first absence of the season, but now he'll end up missing both games of this back-to-back set. The Kings are off until Jan. 10 after Monday's game, and fantasy managers should consider him questionable for that contest. As for Monday, Malik Monk will soak up more usage, while Keon Ellis and Devin Carter are likely to see extended minutes in the backcourt.

Fox (hip) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Warriors.

EDGE Analysis

As expected, Fox has been downgraded from doubtful to out and will miss his first game of the season. In his absence, Keon Ellis should move into the starting lineup, while Malik Monk handles increased usage. Rookie Devin Carter, who recently made his NBA debut, could also be a larger factor in the rotation against Golden State. Fox's next chance to suit up will come Monday against Miami.

Fox is doubtful to play Sunday against the Warriors due to a right glute contusion, Frankie Cartoscelli of KHTK Sactown Sports 1140 reports.

EDGE Analysis

Fox has been feeling some glute soreness after taking a fall in the win over the Grizzlies on Friday and is expected to be listed as doubtful. That said, his chances of playing are unlikely, especially since the Kings aren't expected to take risks with their star floor general. If that's the case, look for Malik Monk, Devin Carter and Keon Ellis to handle expanded roles in the backcourt.

Fox ended with 35 points (13-16 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 7-8 FT), three rebounds, four assists and one block in 38 minutes during Wednesday's 113-107 win over the 76ers.

EDGE Analysis

Fox had one of the most efficient shooting performances of his career after missing just three of his 16 shots en route to surpassing the 30-point plateau for the third time over his last six appearances. He's been turning things around following a rough patch in early December. The star floor general is averaging 29.5 points, 6.7 assists, 5.0 rebounds and 1.2 steals per game while shooting 54.4 percent from the floor across his last six outings.

Fox closed with 33 points (13-23 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 4-5 FT), six rebounds, six assists and one steal over 35 minutes during Monday's 110-100 win over the Mavericks.

EDGE Analysis

Fox logged his third-highest scoring total of the year, completing a diverse line during interim coach Doug Christie's first win. It was important for the Kings to snap the five-game skid, and there are too many fantasy-worthy pieces on this roster to keep them down for long. Fox is on pace for a career year in his eighth season. Despite the recent losing streak, Fox was excellent during the five-game stretch, averaging 28.4 points, 7.2 assists, 5.4 rebounds and 1.4 steals.

Fox contributed 29 points (12-25 FG, 1-9 3Pt, 4-7 FT), five rebounds, 12 assists, one block and four steals in 39 minutes during Saturday's 132-122 loss to the Lakers.

EDGE Analysis

Fox established a new season-high mark in assists Saturday and recorded his fourth double-double of the season. The Kings often deploy Fox, Domantas Sabonis, and DeMar DeRozan as their primary playmakers, but Fox remains the de facto floor general. This was the team's first game under interim head coach Doug Christie, but if Fox takes on more usage moving forward, it could translate to an uptick in his assists production.

Fox had 26 points (11-25 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 2-3 FT), six rebounds, four assists and two blocks over 38 minutes during Thursday's 114-113 loss to the Pistons.

EDGE Analysis

Even though Fox only converted 44 percent of his shots in the loss, it's hard to complain about the elite guard's recent production. He's enjoyed a superb five-game run, averaging 27.0 points, 6.0 assists and 4.8 rebounds over the span. His recent three-point results have been a bit disappointing, but he's still delivering as a multi-category contributor with significant upside.

Fox provided 23 points (7-19 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 7-8 FT), five rebounds, seven assists and one steal over 35 minutes during Sunday's 122-95 loss to the Pacers.

EDGE Analysis

The 27-year-old guard led all scorers on the night, but it wasn't enough to overcome a balanced Indiana attack that saw seven different Pacers score in double digits. Fox has dished at least five assists in seven straight games, averaging 24.3 points, 7.3 dimes, 4.7 boards, 1.9 threes and 0.9 steals over that stretch, but he hasn't posted those kind of distribution numbers over a full season since 2020-21.

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.

EDGE Analysis

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.

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.

EDGE Analysis

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.
