Crowder (back) has been ruled out for Monday night's game against the Mavericks.
EDGE Analysis
Crowder will be sidelined for Monday's game due to lower back soreness, and his next opportunity to play will be Wednesday against the 76ers. He hasn't been part of the Kings' rotation over the past couple of weeks, though that could change when he returns due to Doug Christie now serving as the interim head coach after Sacramento fired Mike Brown on Friday.

Crowder (back) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Mavericks.
EDGE Analysis
Crowder is in jeopardy of missing Monday's game due to lower back soreness. However, the veteran forward has been a healthy DNP in eight of the Kings' last nine games, so his absence Monday wouldn't impact Sacramento's rotation all that much.

Crowder will come off the bench during Sunday's game against the Spurs, Frankie Cartoscelli of KHTK Sactown Sports 1140 reports.
EDGE Analysis
Crowder has started his first two games with the team since signing Tuesday, but he will come off the bench due to Malik Monk and DeMar DeRozan entering the starting lineup. Crowder has averaged 9.0 points and 3.0 rebounds in 24.0 minutes per game through his first two contests but could see a more limited role as the team returns to health.

Crowder (not injury related) is in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Timberwolves, Alan Horton of the Timberwolves Radio Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
Crowder agreed to a contract with the Kings on Tuesday and will start right away at small forward due to the absence of DeMar DeRozan (lower back). Crowder should see steady minutes in a depleted Sacramento frontcourt, but his fantasy upside won't be very high since he's not likely to be a go-to option on offense.

Crowder and the Kings agreed to a contract Tuesday, Sean Cunningham of Fox 40 Sacramento reports.
EDGE Analysis
The veteran had been biding his time waiting for the right deal to emerge. It seems his patience paid off, as he is headed to a contender and has a clear path to consistent playing time after news dropped of Trey Lyles (calf) likely missing at least a month. Crowder made 50 regular-season appearances (25 starts) for the Bucks last season and averaged 6.2 points, 3.2 rebounds, 1.3 assists and 0.8 steals in 23.1 minutes per game. Crowder is expected to be available for Wednesday's game against the Timberwolves.

Crowder isn't starting Sunday's game against the Knicks.
EDGE Analysis
Crowder made a pair of consecutive starts with each of Khris Middleton and Giannis Antetokounmpo missing a game due to injury. However, with the usual starting five healthy, Crowder will return to a reserve role.

Crowder is in the starting five for Wednesday's game versus the Grizzlies.
EDGE Analysis
Crowder will replace Khris Middleton (ankle) in the starting lineup Wednesday. Crowder is averaging 6.1 points and 2.5 rebounds in 21.1 minutes across his last 10 starts.

Crowder supplied 18 points (7-11 FG, 4-6 3Pt), two rebounds and three steals across 32 minutes during Sunday's 140-129 victory over the Suns.
EDGE Analysis
It's his best scoring effort since dropping 21 points against the Timberwolves on Feb. 8. Crowder has started 17 straight games, but he's scored in double digits only three times during that stretch while averaging 5.8 points, 3.6 boards, 1.3 assists, 1.1 steals and 1.0 threes in 23.8 minutes a contest. Despite his consistent role, Crowder doesn't offer enough from a fantasy perspective to be worth rostering in the vast majority of formats, and he'll likely retreat to a reserve role when Khris Middleton (ankle) and Giannis Antetokounmpo (hamstring) are both available.

Crowder produced two assists and one steal over 16 minutes during Tuesday's 129-94 loss to the Kings.
EDGE Analysis
Crowder played only 16 minutes, but a goose egg from a starter is never a good sign. The Bucks have dropped three of their last four games and need more support for Giannis Antetokounmpo. Crowder is conspicuously inefficient. He's failed to reach double-digit scoring in seven consecutive games.

Crowder (knee) is available for Wednesday's game versus the Warriors, Eric Nehm of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Crowder has been upgraded from probable to available Wednesday despite dealing with a left knee contusion. The veteran forward is averaging 3.5 points, 3.8 rebounds, 1.3 assists and 1.0 steals in 24.3 minutes across his last 10 appearances.
