Kings depth chart
The Sacramento Kings' published depth chart at all five spots, the injury report, who played how many minutes last game, and our projected rotation for the next one.
The Sacramento Kings list 16 players across the five spots on the league's own depth chart, last changed Sep 30. First choice at each: Darius Acuff Jr. at point guard, Zach LaVine at shooting guard, De'Andre Hunter at small forward, Keegan Murray at power forward and Domantas Sabonis at center. It is an ordering, not a minutes projection — a club can list five point guards and play two.
4 on the injury report. Out: Ben Simmons, Dylan Cardwell and Maxime Raynaud. Day-to-day: Malik Monk.
Last game, at the Spurs on Fri, Oct 16 (L 97-126), a preseason game: 13 players got on the floor. Domantas Sabonis 30, Zach LaVine 30 and Ben Simmons 26 led the minutes. 7 dressed or listed and did not play.
Next up: at the Clippers, Wed, Oct 21 at 10:30 PM ET. The model projects 12 players at 10 or more minutes, led by Keegan Murray (31.1), Zach LaVine (30.6) and Domantas Sabonis (28.8). That is our minutes projection off usage and availability, not the club's announcement — the NBA names its starters about 30 minutes before tip.

A projection, not a lineup. “Proj min” is his minutes if he dresses; “Plays” is the chance he is in the rotation at all. Both are the numbers behind the points board and the fantasy projections, last repriced Oct 21. Starters are official about 30 minutes before tip.
