Fox ended with 33 points (11-18 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 8-10 FT), five rebounds, eight assists and two steals in 41 minutes during Thursday's 135-123 loss to New Orleans.
EDGE Analysis
Thursday's loss forced the Kings into a spot in the Play-In Tournament, but Fox has scored 33 points in two consecutive performances and is getting hot just in time for the playoffs. Fox and Domantas Sabonis need more help from the supporting cast to increase the Kings' chances for success, but the Kentucky product has the potential to outplay any point guard in the Western Conference.

Fox provided 20 points (8-20 FG, 3-11 3Pt, 1-2 FT), five rebounds, three assists and one steal over 34 minutes during Sunday's 107-77 victory over the Nets.
EDGE Analysis
The 26-year-old guard is having a strong finish to the regular season as the Kings try to secure a playoff spot and avoid the Play-In Tournament. Fox has scored 20 or more points in six straight games and 14 of the last 15, and he's averaged 24.4 points, 5.9 assists, 5.7 boards, 3.2 threes and 2.3 steals over the latter stretch.

Fox provided 40 points (16-29 FG, 7-13 3Pt, 1-2 FT), four rebounds, two assists and one steal over 44 minutes during Friday's 101-100 loss to the Celtics.
EDGE Analysis
Fox almost single-handedly carried the Kings to victory, scoring almost half the team's total points. Despite a few ups and downs, it's been a fantastic season for Fox, as he has put up second-round value in standard formats. He has turned into a viable two-way threat and should be viewed as a top-30 asset heading into the 2024-25 season.

Fox posted 29 points (11-26 FG, 6-13 3Pt, 1-1 FT), seven rebounds, seven assists, one block and three steals in 39 minutes during Thursday's 120-109 loss to the Knicks.
EDGE Analysis
Fox might have needed 26 shots to score 29 points, but it's not like he wasn't efficient, and he also chipped in admirably in other categories, such as rebounds, assists and steals. A true all-around floor general who's embracing an even more significant role on offense with the loss of Malik Monk (knee) and Kevin Huerter (shoulder), Fox will continue playing a prominent role for a Kings team that's looking to end the regular season with a highest-possible seeding in the Western Conference. On that note, Fox has scored at least 20 points in all but one of his last 13 appearances.

EDGE Analysis
Fox got back into double-double territory in a much-needed win. Fox endured some ups and downs in March, but he still managed an average of 24.8 points, 6.0 assists, 5.7 rebounds and 2.7 steals over 15 games during the month.

Fox is expected to play increased minutes down the stretch of the regular season as the Kings fight for their playoff seeding, Brenden Nunes of KHTK Sactown Sports 1140 reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Kings enter Saturday's action in eighth place in the Western Conference, two games behind the sixth-place Mavericks but only four games ahead of a red-hot Rockets team that sits in 11th place but has won 11 contests in a row. The Kings will push to secure a direct playoff berth and avoid the Play-In Tournament, and for that to happen, Fox may need to spend as much as possible on the court. Fox has been averaging 35.9 minutes per game since the beginning of March, and don't be surprised if that figure rises to around the 40 minutes-per-game mark the rest of the way.

Fox amassed 18 points (6-18 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 4-4 FT), five rebounds, three assists and two steals in 32 minutes during Tuesday's 132-96 loss to the Mavericks.
EDGE Analysis
Fox struggled with his shot against the Mavericks, who had the right defensive formula to contain the Kings' offensive attack. During the first half, Luka Doncic floated to where he was most needed and pestered Fox during the first two quarters. Fox was also ineffective in the fourth quarter without Doncic's involvement as he failed to score over six minutes in the final stanza.

Fox racked up a team-high 25 points (10-30 FG, 5-15 3Pt), five rebounds, five assists, one block and six steals in 37 minutes during Thursday's 109-102 loss to Washington.
EDGE Analysis
Despite his shooting woes, the 26-year-old guard produced at least 20 points for the sixth straight game while tying his season-high mark in steals. Fox has averaged 25.3 points, 6.3 assists, 5.2 boards, 2.6 threes and 2.3 steals through 10 games in March as the Kings try to escape the Play-In Tournament and lock up a playoff spot.

EDGE Analysis
Fox has scored at least 20 points in five consecutive appearances, and while Domantas Sabonis has been the Kings' top performer this season, Fox is having a solid season of his own.

Fox closed Monday's 121-111 overtime victory over the Grizzlies with 23 points (8-16 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 3-4 FT), seven rebounds, 10 assists, one block and three steals in 43 minutes.
EDGE Analysis
Fox finished just three rebounds away from recording a triple-double. With Domantas Sabonis and Malik Monk posting impressive stat lines as well, Fox was able to showcase his elite playmaking ability. The star floor general is averaging 26.0 points, 6.6 assists, 5.4 rebounds and 1.9 steals per game since the beginning of March while recording double-digit assists twice in that span.
