Ellis supplied eight points (3-5 FG, 2-4 3Pt), two rebounds and one steal in 20 minutes during Sunday's 124-119 win over the Bulls.

EDGE Analysis

Ellis was back on the Kings bench Sunday due to the return of De'Aaron Fox (hip), leading all second-unit players in scoring during a bench-leading minute total in a winning effort. Ellis has provided a nice lift to Sacramento as of late, posting at least eight points in four of his last five contests and in 16 outings so far this season.

Ellis will come off the bench in Sunday's game against the Bulls, James Ham of ESPN 1320 Sacramento reports.

EDGE Analysis

With De'Aaron Fox (hip) returning to game action, Ellis will retreat to the bench. The 25-year-old started in each of the club's last five outings with Fox and Keegan Murray each sidelined at some point, during which Ellis had averaged 11.2 points, 3.4 rebounds, 3.0 steals and 2.4 assists in 33.6 minutes per contest.

Ellis chipped in 17 points (6-11 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 2-3 FT), eight rebounds, three assists, one block and three steals over 49 minutes during Monday's 123-118 double-overtime win over the Heat.

EDGE Analysis

Ellis got the job done on both ends of the floor during Monday's win against the Heat. The game against Miami was Ellis' fourth straight start and his best all-around performance as a starter this season.

Ellis posted 13 points (5-11 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 1-2 FT), four rebounds, three assists, one block and three steals across 34 minutes during Friday's 138-133 victory over the Grizzlies.

EDGE Analysis

Ellis slid into the starting five as the first unit adjusted to account for Keegan Murray's (ankle) absence. He did enough to be relevant with 11 shot attempts and was also effective on defense with three steals during the victory. Malik Monk's promotion to e first unit has diluted his results, so he's not very dependable as a fantasy option at the moment.

Ellis is part of the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the 76ers, Sean Cunningham of Fox 40 Sacramento reports.

EDGE Analysis

Ellis will make his fifth start of the campaign, stepping into the starting lineup with Keegan Murray (ankle) sidelined. In his four starts this season, Ellis averaged 7.3 points, 2.5 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 1.5 steals across 25.8 minutes.

Ellis ended with seven points (1-5 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 4-4 FT), five rebounds and two steals in 20 minutes during Monday's 110-100 victory over the Mavericks.

EDGE Analysis

Ellis' production on the offensive end comes and goes, and his value in fantasy is heavily reliant on his defense. He's been productive in that regard, averaging 1.3 steals and 0.6 blocks in just 16.3 minutes per game across 12 December outings.

Ellis provided 12 points (3-7 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 5-5 FT), six rebounds, one assist, five blocks and two steals in 33 minutes during Monday's 130-129 loss to Denver.

EDGE Analysis

Ellis stepped up in a big way with the Kings missing both Kevin Huerter (shoulder) and Keegan Murray (ankle), recording a career-high five blocks. He's very strong on the defensive end in that regard, as this was his fifth career game with at least three blocks. On the season, Ellis is just outside the top 150 in nine-category formats for per-game value, posting averages of 6.6 points, 2.2 rebounds, 1.1 assists, 1.2 steals, 1.0 blocks and 1.3 three-pointers.

Ellis notched five points (2-3 FG, 1-2 3Pt), three rebounds, five assists and three steals over 16 minutes during Sunday's 141-97 win over the Jazz.

EDGE Analysis

Ellis finished one theft short of his career-high mark of four steals. His role and production are trending in the wrong direction to start December, as he's averaging 4.0 points, 2.0 assists, 1.8 rebounds and 1.8 steals in 14.0 minutes over his last four games.

Ellis will come off the bench during Sunday's game against the Spurs, Frankie Cartoscelli of KHTK Sactown Sports 1140 reports.

EDGE Analysis

Ellis had started the last three games but will be moved back to a bench role with Malik Monk and DeMar DeRozan filling in the starting lineup. Ellis has averaged 9.2 points and 2.3 rebounds in 21.8 minutes per game over his last five games coming off the bench.

Ellis (leg) has returned to Monday's game against the Thunder with 1:37 remaining in the third quarter, Rylan Stiles of FanSided.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Ellis checked back into the game nearing the end of the third quarter after a brief exit, during which he limped back to the locker room. The 24-year-old guard started for just the second time of the season Monday, and he should be able to shoulder his normal workload the rest of the way.
