DeRozan ended with 20 points (6-12 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 8-9 FT), four rebounds and three assists in 30 minutes during Friday's 123-118 loss to the Cavaliers.

EDGE Analysis

DeRozan led the Kings in made free throws Friday and finished as the team's third-leading scorer behind Domantas Sabonis (24 points) and Dennis Schroder (21 points). It was DeRozan's 21st 20-plus-point game of the season, and despite shooting 50.6 percent from the field this season, the veteran forward is averaging just 18.9 points per game, his lowest since the 2012-13 season as a member of the Raptors (18.1 points per game).

DeRozan closed Tuesday's 130-117 loss to Miami with 23 points (6-12 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 10-10 FT), four rebounds and five assists in 35 minutes.

EDGE Analysis

DeRozan did all he could, but he couldn't offset the lack of pop throughout Sacramento's roster. DeRozan has been the most consistent player in the starting lineup this month, but he needs more support around him to turn the tide for the struggling franchise. The Kings have been featuring Malik Monk heavily in hopes of finding a suitor, and that tactic could help the team out as the trade deadline nears.

DeRozan finished with 32 points (14-19 FG, 4-5 FT), six assists, three steals and two rebounds in 37 minutes during Monday's 124-112 win over the Lakers.

EDGE Analysis

After scoring 22 points on 8-of-13 shooting from the field in Sunday's win over Houston, DeRozan turned in another extremely efficient outing in the second leg of this back-to-back set. The veteran forward led the Kings in scoring Monday, reaching the 30-point mark for the fourth time this season. Additionally, he extended his streak of 20-plus-point games to four, representing his longest such streak this season. He also dished out six assists for a second consecutive contest and tallied a team-best three steals.

DeRozan accumulated 22 points (8-13 FG, 6-6 FT), two rebounds and six assists across 37 minutes during Sunday's 111-98 win over Houston.

EDGE Analysis

DeRozan became the 23rd player in NBA history to surpass 26,000 points during the decisive victory, leading with a team-high 22 points. Although the team is struggling without Domantas Sabonis, the core group of DeRozan, Russell Westbrook, and Zach LaVine is capable of springing the occasional surprise victory, and DeRozan is usually the most prolific player in the trio. They'll face a tough back-to-back game against the Lakers on Monday evening.

DeRozan ended with 24 points (10-19 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 3-5 FT), two rebounds, three assists and three steals over 35 minutes during Friday's 137-103 loss to the Warriors.

EDGE Analysis

DeRozan was the only Kings player to score more than 20 points during Friday's contest and finished as the game's second-leading scorer behind Stephen Curry (27 points). DeRozan also tied a season high with three steals, and over his last five outings he has averaged 18.8 points, 4.0 assists, 3.0 rebounds, 1.0 threes and 2.0 steals over 33.2 minutes per game.

DeRozan provided 21 points (8-18 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds, five assists, one block and two steals in 37 minutes during Tuesday's 100-98 loss to Dallas.

EDGE Analysis

The Kings struggled to put points on the board and recorded their fourth-lowest scoring total of the season in the narrow loss. DeRozan had a solid line with results in every statistical category, but the team failed to respond after Brandon Williams hit a three-pointer to put the Mavericks up for good. DeRozan bounced back from a two-game slump, when he produced a total of 24 points over losses against Milwaukee and Phoenix.

DeRozan closed with 11 points (4-11 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 3-7 FT), four rebounds, three assists and one steal in 29 minutes during Sunday's 115-98 loss to the Bucks.

EDGE Analysis

DeRozan was pulled early once the game was out of hand, and that's a key reason for his reduced total Sunday evening. Although Zach LaVine came off the bench, he should return to the starting lineup in short order, shifting DeRozan back to his customary role with the first unit.

DeRozan posted 25 points (9-15 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 6-6 FT), five rebounds, six assists and one steal in 35 minutes during Thursday's 120-106 loss to Boston.

EDGE Analysis

DeRozan responded nicely from a sluggish eight-point showing Tuesday against the Clippers, but it wasn't enough to propel his team to a victory Thursday. He ended December on a sour note, knocking down only 37.1 percent of his field goals over his last three games of the month, so his performance Thursday is a sign he's back on track.

DeRozan supplied 22 points (8-17 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 5-5 FT), four rebounds, five assists and one steal over 34 minutes during Sunday's 125-101 loss to the Lakers.

EDGE Analysis

DeRozan is doing his best to prop up the backcourt during Zach LaVine's (ankle) absence, and the former has been the team's highest producer often over the past couple of weeks. Although the team continues to occupy the basement in the Western Conference, DeRozan has averaged 20.2 points, 3.0 rebounds and 2.3 assists over 23 games.

DeRozan finished Tuesday's 136-127 loss to the Pistons with 37 points (12-18 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 13-15 FT), three rebounds and eight assists across 42 minutes.

EDGE Analysis

DeRozan hit for his highest scoring total of the season in the loss. The veteran is doing all he can to make up for Zach LaVine's (ankle) missing production, but the team has gone 1-3 without their star swingman in the lineup. The 36-year-old guard is still incredibly effective at exploiting mismatches on the court, and his cuts to the basket are still as swift as ever.
