Fox totaled 24 points (8-19 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 7-11 FT), five assists, four rebounds, three steals and three blocked shots over 35 minutes Monday in a loss to the Suns.
EDGE Analysis
Fox trailed only Harrison Barnes (26 points) for high-scoring honors among Kings players in the loss, and he also led the team with five dimes. Perhaps more impressively, the point guard swatted a club-high three shots and also notched three steals. Fox entered the contest with only two blocked shots across his first 10 games.

Fox recorded 17 points (7-19 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, three steals and two assists across 35 minutes in Sunday's loss to the Pacers.
EDGE Analysis
Fox has surpassed the 20-point mark just three times this season, but he's managed to score in double digits in every one of his 11 appearances to date. The electric point guard has taken a bit of a step back compared to last season, though, as he's averaging "only" 18.1 points with 6.3 assists per game -- those would be his worst numbers of his last three seasons in The Association.

Fox recorded 21 points (7-15 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 7-7 FT), nine assists, three rebounds and one steal across 29 minutes during a 140-110 win Friday versus Charlotte.
EDGE Analysis
Fox has scored 20 or more points across four of his last 10 games. He also recorded nine assists during two matchups this month. Though only one of those games was at Sacramento, Fox has been more reliable when playing there. He averaged 19.0 points (on a 51.1 field-goal percentage) and 6.9 assists across the Kings' last three home matchups.

Fox registered 19 points (8-14 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT), five assists, two rebounds and one steal over 38 minutes in a 112-99 win over the Pelicans on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Though he finished under the 20-point mark for the third straight game, Fox showed a much better shooting stroke Wednesday, making over half of his shots for the first time this season. The increased efficiency was partly due to the point guard taking only three attempts from beyond the arc, his lowest mark this season. Fox is shooting only 19.0 percent from three-point range and 38.5 percent overall on the campaign, and his 17.9 points per game are well below the 25.2 mark he posted last season.

Fox finished with14 points (5-16 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 3-5 FT), eight rebounds, four assists and three turnovers in 39 minutes during Sunday's 105-99 loss to the Mavericks.
EDGE Analysis
The speedy point guard has gotten off to a slow start to begin the season. After averaging 25.2 points per game last season, Fox has scored 20 or more points just twice this season. The Kentucky product is shooting at just a 16.1 percent clip from deep to begin the year as well. Fox is still a very talented young point guard, but the 23-year-old has not taken the leap that many expected him to make this season just yet.

Fox recorded 23 points (9-21 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 4-4 FT), seven rebounds and five assists across 37 minutes in Friday's win over New Orleans.
EDGE Analysis
Fox surpassed the 20-point mark just for the second time this season, and there's no question he's been struggling on the offensive end of the court. Aside from averaging 4.2 turnovers per game early on, he's also shooting a meager 38.8 percent from the field and a woeful 16.1 percent from three-point range.

Fox compiled 18 points (7-20 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 3-7 FT), nine assists, two rebounds and one steal in 37 minutes during Wednesday's 110-107 victory over Phoenix.
EDGE Analysis
Fox walked away with another serviceable line Wednesday but his percentages continue to be a real issue. He is currently shooting just 38 percent from the floor and 55 percent from the charity stripe. While both of these are likely to increase over the course of the season, it's hard to see him rectifying them to the point where they aren't still a massive flaw in his fantasy game.

Fox registered 27 points (9-22 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 7-10 FT), eight assists, five rebounds and a blocked shot over 36 minutes in Wednesday's 124-121 victory against the Trail Blazers.
EDGE Analysis
It wasn't the most efficient shooting night for the point guard, particularly from deep, but his scoring output in the contest exemplifies why Fox has a very high floor as a point producer. As the top option in Sacramento's offense, Fox should be able to again produce healthy scoring and assist totals. Last season, he ranked 16th in the NBA with 25.2 points per game and 12th with 7.2 assists per contest.

Fox finished Wednesday's preseason win over the Clippers with 23 points (7-10 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 6-6 FT), four rebounds and four assists.
EDGE Analysis
Starting at his usual point guard spot, Fox needed just 22 minutes to turn in a productive all-around line. Coming off of a strong fourth NBA season, expectations are high for Fox, who averaged 25.2 points, 7.2 assists, 3.5 rebounds, 1.8 threes and 1.5 steals in 2020-21. It was the best statistical season of Fox's career, though he needs to improve as a free throw shooter (71.9 percent last season) to raise his fantasy ceiling.

Fox (COVID-19 protocols) won't play in Sunday's game against Utah, Jason Anderson of The Sacramento Bee reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Kings are shutting down Fox for their final two games of the regular season, as he continues to battle COVID-19 protocols. Thus, the guard's fourth season with Sacramento has officially concluded, and he averaged a career-best 25.2 points along with 7.2 assists in 58 contests.
