Sampson posted 11 points (5-8 FG, 1-1 FT), four rebounds and one block across 23 minutes in a 96-83 win over the Rockets on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Sampson drew the start at power forward once again for the season finale and provided another solid performance. The 25-year-old saw at least 20 minutes in the last three games of the season, posting double-digit scoring efforts in two of them and shooting at least 60.0 percent in all three. Sampson saw only modest opportunity otherwise this season, playing in only 22 games (six starts) and averaging 4.7 points, 3.5 rebounds and 1.0 block across 15.6 minutes.

Sampson drew the start at power forward and generated 11 points (5-8 FG, 1-2 FT), six rebounds and two blocks across 25 minutes in Friday's 94-93 win over the Grizzlies.

EDGE Analysis

Sampson was a last-minute addition to the starting lineup in place of Zach Randolph (personal), and the third-year pro parlayed the opportunity into his first double-digit scoring effort since Dec. 10. The 25-year-old's playing time had been highly sporadic prior to Friday, however, so not much should be expected from him in the last two games of the season despite the unexpected production.

Sampson is a late addition to the Kings' starting lineup Friday in their matchup with the Grizzlies, Jason Jones of The Sacramento Bee reports.

EDGE Analysis

It was originally reported that Zach Randolph would start at power forward, but the Kings have opted to insert Sampson at the last second. It is unclear if it was an act of gamesmanship or they simply did not know what route they were going to go until tip-off. The start will mark Sampson's first since Feb. 14. He has recently rejoined the team's rotation, and figures to see a good amount of run Friday.

Sampson did not play during Wednesday's 109-106 loss to Iowa due to an undisclosed injury.

EDGE Analysis

It's unknown what injury kept Sampson out of Wednesday's contest, as he was able to drop 13 points in 26 minutes during Reno's last game. Consider him a game-time decision for the Bighorns' game Friday against Agua Caliente. Currently, the 24-year-old is averaging 17.3 points and 7.4 rebounds per game.

Sampson tallied 29 points (12-21 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 5-7 FT), seven rebounds, two assists, one steal and one block during Tuesday's 132-125 road win over Northern Arizona.

EDGE Analysis

Sampson tied a season high with 29 points Tuesday and has now scored safely across the 25-point mark in his last four games. The third-year forward from St. John's is shooting the 49.3 percent from the floor but has struggled from three-point range, only shooting 27.8 percent. Currently, the 24-year-old is averaging 17.2 points and 7.5 rebounds for the Bighorns this season.

Sampson is coming off the bench for Thursday's contest against the Thunder, Sean Cunningham of ABC 10 Sacramento reports.

EDGE Analysis

Sampson drew the start in the team's last game before the All-Star break as Zach Randolph was given the night off for rest. But, with Randolph back in the fold, Sampson will head back to the pine.

Sampson will get the spot start at power forward for Wednesday's game against the Rockets, Jonathan Feigen of the Houston Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

Sampson was a surprising late addition to the top unit, as the Grizzlies are opting to bring usual starter Zach Randolph off the bench. It's unclear if Randolph is getting the night off for rest or not, but either way, Sampson's promotion to the top unit should afford him a slightly larger workload than usual. Sampson has averaged just 10.0 minutes the last six games he's been active for.

Sampson registered 25 points (12-22 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-3 FT), 13 rebounds and three steals during Saturday's loss at Sioux Falls.

EDGE Analysis

The 24-year-old reached the 25-point mark for the third time this season and produced his sixth double-double. Sampson has been a consistent scorer for the Bighorns and has constantly recorded double-digit scoring performances. The former St. John's guard is averaging 15.8 points and 7.7 rebounds this season.

The Kings recalled Sampson from the G League's Reno Bighorns on Sunday, James Ham of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

EDGE Analysis

With six Kings players sitting out Sunday's 113-98 loss to the Spurs due to injuries, Sampson was brought back to provide some depth off the bench and ended up logging eight minutes in his first NBA appearance since Dec. 10. Assuming one of Skal Labissiere (shoulder) or Garrett Temple (ankle) are ready to play in the Kings' next game Tuesday in New Orleans, there's a good chance Sampson will drop out of the rotation.

Sampson was recalled from the G-League's Reno Bighorns, James Ham of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

EDGE Analysis

Sampson logged 22.3 minutes per game for a four-game stretch in early December, but has not played at the NBA level since. So, it appears he'll continue to bounce back and forth between the NBA and the G-League for the foreseeable future.
