INSIGHT

Kings Lose Sabonis; Rotation In Flux

Domantas Sabonis suffered a meniscus tear and is expected to miss multiple weeks, putting the Kings' rotation into flux.
Josh Lloyd highlights Drew Eubanks as a short-term starter and Maxime Raynaud as a high-upside watch candidate.

ADVICE

Add Eubanks In Deeper Leagues

Consider adding Drew Eubanks in deeper (12+ team) leagues as a short-term streamable center.
Watch Maxime Reynaud in deeper formats as a potential upside pickup rather than an immediate must-roster.

INSIGHT

Limited Upside For Kings' Core

Sabonis' absence marginally increases usage for Kings guards and wings but won't massively transform outcomes.
Josh warns the replacement won't replicate Sabonis' role enough to create a huge surge for teammates.
