Kings' Domantas Sabonis: Sniffs triple-double in defeat
Rotowire
Sabonis supplied 23 points (10-21 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 19 rebounds and eight assists over 39 minutes during Thursday's 132-123 loss to Denver.
The big man nearly secured his sixth triple-double of the 2024-25 campaign, finishing as the club's second-leading scorer behind DeMar DeRozan (24 points). Sabonis has logged 21 straight games with double-digit points and boards and continues to stuff the stat sheet efficiently. Over 11 outings in January, the star center has averaged 21.5 points, 16.7 rebounds and 6.6 assists while shooting 62.0 percent from the floor in 37.8 minutes per contest.

Kings' Domantas Sabonis: Continues to fill stat sheet
Rotowire
Sabonis recorded 26 points (8-12 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 8-8 FT), 18 rebounds and three assists over 39 minutes during Wednesday's 123-117 win over the Warriors.
By now, it's odd when Sabonis doesn't record a double-double, and that outcome has happened in only two of his 40 appearances -- and not even once since Dec. 3. An ever-present name in the Kings lineup across the month of January, Sabonis is averaging a robust stat line of 21.3 points, 16.5 rebounds, 6.5 assists and 0.7 blocks per game while shooting 64.3 percent from the floor in his last 10 games.

Kings' Domantas Sabonis: Massive double-double
Rotowire
Sabonis totaled 29 points (12-16 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 3-5 FT), 18 rebounds, four assists and one steal in 32 minutes during Sunday's 123-100 victory over Washington.
Sabonis was dominant on both ends of the court and had an impressive final stat line, reaching his 19th consecutive double-double and entrenching himself even more as one of the best fantasy options at the center position. Over that 19-game stretch, Sabonis is averaging a robust 20.5 points, 15.9 rebounds, 6.3 assists and a combined 1.1 steals-plus-blocks per game.

Kings' Domantas Sabonis: Stuffs stat sheet Thursday
Rotowire
Sabonis racked up 20 points (8-13 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 3-4 FT), 14 rebounds, seven assists and one block across 38 minutes before fouling out of Thursday's 132-127 victory over the Rockets.
By now, seeing Sabonis record a double-double isn't much of a surprise, and the star big man also ended quite close to recording a triple-double. This was his 17th appearance with a double-double and at least seven dimes, emphasizing just how influential he can be on both ends of the court for the Kings.

Rotowire
Sabonis provided 22 points (8-11 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 5-6 FT), 16 rebounds, eight assists and one block across 38 minutes during Sunday's 124-119 victory over the Bulls.
Sabonis once again did it all for Sacramento in Sunday's contest, leading all players in rebounds while finishing as one of three players with 20 or more points and ending two assists short of a triple-double. Sabonis has recorded at least 20 points, 10 rebounds and five assists in 10 outings this season, doing so in three of his last four contests.

Kings' Domantas Sabonis: Pulls down career-high 28 rebounds
Rotowire
Sabonis registered 23 points (10-15 FG, 3-4 3Pt), 28 rebounds, three assists and one block over 39 minutes during Friday's 114-97 victory over the Celtics.
Sabonis amassed the most rebounds of any player in a single game so far in 2024-25, dominating with a career-high 28 boards against one of the league's premier frontcourt duos of Jayson Tatum and Kristaps Porzingis. Over his last seven games, Sabonis is averaging 18.7 points, 16.9 rebounds, 6.9 assists, 0.9 blocks and 1.6 threes. The 28-year-old star big man now has 33 double-doubles in 35 games for the Kings this season, and Sabonis should continue to receive a bump in usage if De'Aaron Fox (glute) remains sidelined for Sunday's soft matchup with the Bulls, who rank 29th in the league in opponent points per game (120.8).

Kings' Domantas Sabonis: Triple-doubles in win Monday
Rotowire
Sabonis closed Monday's 123-118 double-overtime win over the Heat with 21 points (7-16 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 5-7 FT), 18 rebounds, 11 assists, three blocks and one steal across 50 minutes.
Sabonis was one of two players who recorded a triple-double in this game, as Jaime Jaquez did it for the Heat as well. This was an outstanding effort from the big man, who's been on a tear during the Kings' ongoing five-game winning streak. He's averaging 18.8 points, 15.6 boards and 7.6 dimes per game in that span.

Kings' Domantas Sabonis: Records 31st double-double in win
Rotowire
Sabonis ended Sunday's 129-99 victory over the Warriors with 22 points (10-13 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT), 13 rebounds and seven assists over 30 minutes.
Sabonis maintained his slim lead over Karl-Anthony Towns in the double-double rankings during a dominant performance over the Warriors. Sabonis shined despite the absence of De'Aaron Fox (hip), as Malik Monk was able to feed the ball inside on several occasions. The competition will ramp up when Bam Adebayo and the Heat pay a visit Friday evening, but Sabonis' trend of stellar production should continue.

Kings' Domantas Sabonis: Continues solid production in win
Rotowire
Sabonis contributed 17 points (8-16 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-2 FT), 16 rebounds, seven assists and one steal over 33 minutes during Monday's 110-100 victory over the Mavericks.
Sabonis appears to be back on track, logging a second consecutive double-double after an illness forced him to miss a game. Sabonis' attendance has been mostly spotless over the past two seasons, with only three absences this year and a perfect attendance record during the 2023-24 campaign. Fantasy managers can take his consistent production and frequent double-doubles to the bank. After his 28th double-double, Sabonis stole the lead from Karl-Anthony Towns in the category. Sabonis and Nikola Jokic traded jabs in the category last season, but Jokic currently trails with only 22 doubles-doubles, although he holds a significant lead with 13 triple-doubles for the year.

Sabonis returned after a one-game absence due to an illness and posted a solid stat line, ending just three dimes away from recording what would've been his fifth triple-double of the season. He extended his double-double streak to nine contests, though, averaging a robust 20.7 points, 15.4 rebounds and 5.6 assists per game in that stretch.

Sabonis (illness) is questionable for Saturday's game against the Lakers.
Sabonis was absent from practice Friday and missed Thursday's loss to the Pistons, but the questionable tag leaves the door for him to return after a one-game absence. If he's unable to suit up, however, either Alex Len or Trey Lyles could get the start at center.

Rotowire
Sabonis (illness) did not practice Friday, Jason Anderson of The Sacramento Bee reports.
The star big man was held out of Thursday's loss to the Pistons due to the illness, and his absence from practices bodes poorly for his status in Saturday's game against the Lakers. Alex Len and Trey Lyles both saw extended playing time in Sabonis' absence, and the 28-year-old can be considered questionable at best for Saturday's matchup until the team provides another update.

Kings' Domantas Sabonis: Questionable for Thursday
Rotowire
Sabonis is questionable for Thursday's game against the Pistons due to an illness, Frankie Cartoscelli of KHTK Sactown Sports 1140 reports.
Sabonis has picked up an illness going into the Kings' upcoming game, a scenario that could result in them playing their first game without him since Nov. 18. Trey Lyles has started both of Sabonis' games that he has sat out this season, so it would not be surprising if the former does so should the latter be unavailable. That would not be ideal for a Kings team that has received 21.5 points, 15.9 rebounds and 5.4 assists averaged by Sabonis across his last eight games.

The 28-year-old center put together a solid revenge game against the team that traded him to Sacramento in Feb. 2022, with the 21 boards being a new season high for Sabonis. The double-double was his league-leading 26th in 28 appearances, and through 10 games in December, Sabonis is averaging 22.4 points, 14.7 rebounds, 5.3 assists, 0.9 threes and 0.8 steals while shooting 56.9 percent from the floor and 40.9 percent (9-for-22) from long distance.
