Fox closed with 27 points (11-18 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 3-6 FT), six rebounds, eight assists and two steals over 34 minutes during Friday's 126-114 victory over the Rockets.
EDGE Analysis
While Fox's three-point percentage (25.0% 3Pt) continues to be a major thorn in the side of fantasy managers, he's in the midst of a hot streak of late, putting up 24.5 points, 5.1 assists, 4.6 rebounds, 1.0 steals and 5.5 free throws per game over his last eight. Free-throw percentage has historically been an issue for Fox, as well, but he's up to a career-best 74.5 percent on the year -- still not ideal, but a notable uptick from last season's 71.9 percent figure.

Fox ended with 29 points (11-21 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 7-9 FT), four rebounds and four assists in 37 minutes during Wednesday's 125-116 victory over the Lakers.
EDGE Analysis
Fox came into the contest in a slump, as he averaged just 13.0 points on 39.3 percent shooting over his past two games. The point guard turned things around against Los Angeles, leading Sacramento with 29 points while making over half his field-goal attempts for the first time in a week. Fox's campaign has been a bit of a roller coaster, but he has pushed his scoring average to 20.9 points per contest and is dishing out 5.1 dimes per game. Both numbers are well below last season's production, however.

Fox produced 14 points (6-14 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 1-4 FT), five rebounds, two assists and one block over 36 minutes during Sunday's 103-88 loss to Portland.
EDGE Analysis
Fox was listed as questionable with right shoulder soreness ahead of Sunday's matchup, but he ultimately was able to suit up after going through warmups. However, after three straight 30-point performances, the point guard posted a meager 14 points on 14 shot attempts. While Fox didn't appear to be limited and he isn't currently listed on the injury report, fantasy managers will likely be inclined to monitor his status ahead of the Kings' second half of a back-to-back Monday.

Fox (shoulder) is starting Sunday's game against the Trail Blazers, James Ham of ESPN 1320 Sacramento reports.
EDGE Analysis
Fox dealt with right shoulder soreness ahead of Sunday's matchup but will be able to suit up after going through pregame warmups. Across his eight appearances since returning to the court in late December, he's averaged 20.5 points, 5.8 assists and 3.5 rebounds in 34.3 minutes per game.

Fox is questionable Sunday against the Trail Blazers due to right shoulder soreness.
EDGE Analysis
This is bad timing for Fox, who is just starting to look more like himself after a slow start to the season. Over the past four games, he's averaged 28.5 points on 51/21/86 shooting, 5.8 assists, 4.5 rebounds and 1.0 steals in 36.0 minutes. If he sits out Sunday, more usage would go to Tyrese Haliburton.

Fox amassed 30 points (11-23 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 8-10 FT), seven rebounds, five assists and one steal across 38 minutes during Friday's 121-111 loss to Denver.
EDGE Analysis
The star point guard has scored exactly 30 points in three straight appearances, but that uptick in figures has been tied with an increased volume. He's attempted 20-plus field goals in each of those contests, something he had done just five times prior to this streak. Volume-based or not, Fox remains Sacramento's best player and one of the team's most reliable fantasy assets due to his high usage rate and his influence on the offensive side of the court. He's averaged 22.6 points, 4.7 assists, 3.7 rebounds and 1.3 steals per game since the start of December.

Fox closed with 30 points (12-23 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 5-7 FT), two rebounds, six assists and one steal across 38 minutes during Wednesday's 108-102 loss to the Hawks.
EDGE Analysis
Fox registered his second straight 30-point effort, but his scoring prowess wasn't enough to lead Sacramento to victory. The fifth year guard also dished exactly six assists for the third straight contest, and he seems to be settling in offensively after an up-and-down start to the campaign. After averaging 20.5 points and 4.3 assists in December, Fox is posting 28.0 points and 6.0 dimes through three January games.

Fox provided 30 points (12-21 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 4-4 FT), three rebounds and six assists over 33 minutes during Tuesday's 122-114 loss to the Lakers.
EDGE Analysis
There's no question that Fox has the goods to be one of the league's best point guards, but this campaign has been loaded with variance. He's been unable to keep things steady since his four-game absence, although his last two contests were more consistent with his enormous potential. His team-leading performance in the narrow loss is a step in the right direction.

Fox totaled 24 points (5-12 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 14-15 FT), six rebounds, six assists and two steals over 35 minutes during Sunday's 115-113 victory over Miami.
EDGE Analysis
Fox managed to right the ship in the victory, especially from the free throw line, where he went 14-of-15. He also added a pair of defensive stats but failed to score from outside the perimeter. All in all, it's been a serviceable season thus far for Fox, with his poor percentages and lack of scoring versatility dragging down his overall fantasy value. For anyone rostering Fox, patience is needed here in the hope he can slowly start to get things back on track.

Fox supplied 16 points (7-12 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-4 FT), one rebound, three assists and one steal across 34 minutes during Wednesday's 95-94 win over the Mavericks.
EDGE Analysis
Fox's point total was relatively mild by his standards, but it was enough to pace Sacramento in the low-scoring affair. The star guard scored his 16 points efficiently, making seven of 12 attempts from the field. Fox didn't chip in many other stats, however, and he continues to be overshadowed as a distributor by Tyrese Haliburton, who once again hit double-digits with 10 assists in the victory.
