Notches seven points

Monk couldn't find his rhythm Tuesday night, but fantasy managers will at least appreciate that his usage rate remained sturdy. He's off to a quiet start this campaign, posting averages of 12.5 points, 3.0 rebounds, 3.0 assists and 2.0 three-pointers through four outings.

Scores 20 points Tuesday

DeRozan finished just two assists away from a double-double, but there's no question his scoring performance was eye-popping -- particularly from the efficiency department. It's been only four games, but DeRozan seems to be integrating quite well into the offense alongside De'Aaron Fox and Domantas Sabonis. The veteran scorer is putting up 23.0 points per game while shooting 55.2 percent from the field, but perhaps the most impressive stat is that he's recorded at least 20 points in each of his four outings, something Fox and Sabonis can't say.

Efficient double-double Tuesday

Sabonis led the NBA in double-doubles last season and should be one of the strongest candidates to do so again in 2024-25. He's already posted one triple-double and two double-doubles in four appearances this season, so his role as an elite two-way threat for the Kings should continue, meaning the arrival of DeMar DeRozan shouldn't affect Sabonis' overall fantasy production. Through four contests, Sabonis is averaging 24.3 points and 11.0 rebounds per contest.
