Keegan Murray

Murray's three-point shooting has been his strongest attribute throughout his career. However, he didn't provide much value from beyond the arc in this game. He made up for that with his second 20-point double-double of the season and continued dominance in contributing defensive stats. Murray also played a whopping 45 minutes; clearly Kings coach Doug Christie is going to ensure Murray is on the floor. Would Tom Thibodeau even go this far? Murray should have ample time on the court moving forward to dominate in fantasy basketball.

The Kings are Keegan Murray's team, and with favorable matchups this weekend, he needs to be starting in every format.

Murray was one of two Kings to lead the way in scoring on Wednesday, with Russell Westbrook also tallying 19 points. Since making his first start on November 22, the fourth-year forward has scored at least 19 in all three games. For fantasy managers, it has been good to see Murray not take a back seat to Zach LaVine or DeMar DeRozan so far. What would be most impactful on his value for the rest of the season is the Kings moving a veteran or two, clearing the decks for Murray.

Murray amassed 19 points (7-16 FG, 2-9 3Pt, 3-4 FT), eight rebounds, three assists, one block and two steals in 38 minutes during Wednesday's 112-100 loss to the Suns.

Sacramento two-way wing Keegan Murray, powered by a new mindset, shined in the Kings' overtime win over the Minnesota Timberwolves.
