Bazemore tallied 14 points (5-9 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 3-4 FT), nine rebounds, one steal and one block in 33 minutes during Thursday's 125-108 loss to Philadelphia.
EDGE Analysis
Bazemore played 33 minutes Thursday, the most he has seen as a member of the Kings. Both teams went small in this one, which allowed Bazemore to feature more prominently. He has been a fringe 12-team player over the past two weeks but serves better as a steals streamer in competitive formats.

Bazemore registered 13 points (5-9 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 1-2 FT), four rebounds, two steals and one block in 29 minutes during Friday's 104-101 win at Memphis.
EDGE Analysis
Bazemore has been inconsistent when it comes to his scoring while featuring on a bench role and, at the end of the day, he's not producing enough since joining the Kings before the February trade deadline. In 16 games with Sacramento, Bazemore is averaging 10.3 points and 4.6 rebounds while playing 22.1 minutes per contest, although at the very least he's connecting treys at a 40.0 percent clip. He doesn't have much upside outside of deeper formats, but he could be useful as a streaming option.

Bazemore posted 23 points (7-13 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 7-8 FT), six rebounds, four steals, an assist and a block across 30 minutes during Saturday's 112-103 victory over the Clippers.
EDGE Analysis
This upset victory on the road marked Bazemore's best performance as a member of the Kings. The 3 points were a season high, and he added four steals, showing his two-way ability. This also marked the fourth time in Bazemore's career that he's posted at least 20 points and four steals. Since joining Sacramento, he's averaging 10.4 points, 4.2 rebounds and 1.2 steals across 21.2 minutes.

Bazemore contributed 15 points (5-10 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 3-3 FT), seven rebounds, one assist and one steal in 27 minutes during Wednesday's loss to the Mavericks.
EDGE Analysis
Bazemore had a nice outing, topping double figures for the fourth time since joining the Kings. Though he's largely struggled, Bazemore appears dialed into an important bench role for the remainder of the season. Across 11 games since joining the team, the veteran guard's averaging 8.5 points, 4.1 rebounds and 1.0 assists while shooting just 37.8 percent from the field, 33.3 percent from behind the arc and 71.0 percent form the line in 20.2 minutes.

Bazemore ended with 10 points (3-7 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 4-5 FFT), one rebound, one assist and one steal in 13 minutes during Saturday's 129-113 loss to the Lakers.
EDGE Analysis
Despite having very little value in Portland, Bazemore has managed to slide even further during his time in Sacramento. Over the past two weeks, he has been the 259th ranked player, managing just 17 minutes per game. Despite some upside on the defensive end, Bazemore is not a player to consider in any competitive format.

Bazemore finished with 15 points (4-7 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 5-6 FT), five rebounds, one assist and one steal in 21 minutes during Monday's 133-129 overtime victory over Minnesota.
EDGE Analysis
Bazemore had his best outing since joining the Kings last week, but the low minutes put a cap on his overall fantasy upside. The Kings could get Richaun Holmes (shoulder) and Marvin Bagley (foot) back in the near future, so Bazemore's small role off the bench could get squeezed even further.

Bazemore (not injury related) is expected to be available for Wednesday's game against the Pistons, Jason Anderson of The Sacramento Bee reports.
EDGE Analysis
With the trade becoming official Tuesday morning, Bazemore is on track to make his team debut Wednesday evening. He'll come off the bench with Sacramento and could struggle to see consistent minutes behind Buddy Hield, Harrison Barnes and Bogdan Bogdanovic.

Bazemore (not injury related) won't be available for Monday's game against the Heat.
EDGE Analysis
The Kings and Trail Blazers have yet to officially finalize Saturday's trade that saw five players change teams. As a result, Bazemore and Anthony Tolliver won't be eligible to play for the Kings in Miami. Meanwhile, Trevor Ariza, Wenyen Gabriel and Caleb Swanigan won't dress for Portland's game against Golden State later in the day.

Bazemore -- along with Anthony Tolliver and two second-round picks -- was traded to the Kings from the Trail Blazers in exchange for Trevor Ariza, Wenyen Gabriel and Caleb Swanigan on Saturday, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.
EDGE Analysis
Wojnarowski notes that the Trail Blazers save $12.3 million on the deal, and that it cuts the organization's luxury tax bill in half. Bazemore is having a rough year shooting the ball, hitting just 34.7 percent of his shots for 7.9 points in 25.8 minutes. His role seems unlikely to change significantly in Sacramento. If anything, he might see fewer minutes given the Kings' depth on the wing and at guard.

Bazemore tallied 12 points (3-13 FG, 2-10 3Pt, 4-4 FT), nine rebounds, three assists, a steal and a block in 32 minutes during Wednesday's 117-107 win against Houston.
EDGE Analysis
A less pressuring Rockets defense gave Bazemore more looks to shoot, resulting in a season-high 10 three-pointers attempted. The shots mostly proved to be in vain as the 30-year-old only scored 12 out of a possible 40 points. The performance is indicative of his first season in Portland, where he is averaging less than 10 points for the first time since 2015 (7.8) and shooting a career-low 34.3 percent from the field.
