Sabonis fouled out of Saturday's 123-118 victory over New Orleans after recording a team-high 27 points (10-18 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 6-10 FT), 16 rebounds and two assists in 34 minutes.
A few of Sabonis' recent performances haven't been to his standards, but he dominated this game and helped the Kings end a two-game slide. He was held to just 10 points on 2-of-6 shooting in their loss on Thursday, so this type of performance was encouraging. Sacramento is still trying to figure out this lineup will work with Zach LaVine replacing De'Aaron Fox, and Sabonis has seen his assists take a hit over the last few games. However, he'll continue to be one of the best rebounders in the league regardless of who is on the floor.
Kings center Domantas Sabonis hilariously informed close friend and fellow center Jonas Valan i nas of his trade to Sacramento.
How well the Kings played without their go-to scorer, Domantas Sabonis, is what really stood out from Sacramento's win over the New Orleans Pelicans.
The Kings acquired Valanciunas on Wednesday, and he'll be available to play for his new squad one day later. He'll fill out the backup center minutes behind Domantas Sabonis, which isn't a large role. He'll likely fill out 10-15 minutes and be a productive reserve, but that isn't enough time to impact fantasy basketball.
