Holmes produced 11 points (5-11 FG, 1-1 3Pt), three rebounds and three assists over 15 minutes during Friday's 119-97 loss to Golden State.
With the Kings resting most of their regulars, Holmes moved back into the rotation and submitted his best overall performance since a Jan. 18 start when he posted a 16-point, 11-rebound double-double in a 116-111 win over the Lakers. Holmes has played at least 15 minutes six times this season, averaging 9.5 points, 6.5 rebounds and 1.0 assists in 20.2 minutes during those contests.

Kings' Richaun Holmes: Available to play
Rotowire
Holmes (illness) will be available to play Monday against the Pelicans.
While Holmes will be available, that doesn't mean he'll actually touch the floor. He's rarely a part of the Sacramento rotation, and as long as Domantas Sabonis is healthy, he can remain on the waiver wire in most leagues.

Kings' Richaun Holmes: Questionable Friday
Rotowire
Holmes is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Clippers with a non-COVID illness, Jason Anderson of The Sacramento Bee reports.
Holmes has appeared in just three games since Jan. 25 and appears to be an afterthought in head coach Mike Brown's rotation. Although Holmes has shown the ability to be a strong fantasy option when given the opportunity, he is well outside of fantasy consideration when the Kings are healthy in the frontcourt.

Kings' Richaun Holmes: Shines in place of Sabonis
Rotowire
Holmes ended Wednesday's 116-111 win over the Lakers with 16 points (7-7 FG, 2-2 FT), 11 rebounds and one assist across 31 minutes.
Holmes moved into the starting unit for the first time Wednesday after Domantas Sabonis was ruled out due to a non-COVID illness, and the former came through with his best game of the campaign. Holmes logged season highs in both scoring and rebounding en route to his first double-double since December of 2021, and he finished with a perfect shooting effort from both the field and the charity stripe. Sabonis' absence doesn't figure to be a lengthy one, so Holmes is only a short-term streamer in fantasy.

Kings' Richaun Holmes: Starting Wednesday
Rotowire
Holmes will receive the starting nod for Wednesday's game against the Lakers, Jason Anderson of The Sacramento Bee reports.
Holmes will earn his first start of the season Wednesday with Domantas Sabonis sidelined due to a non-COVID illness. Per 36 minutes, Holmes has averaged 11.5 points, 8.1 rebounds and 1.1 blocks and is worth a speculative look as a streaming option.

Kings' Richaun Holmes: Records full practice
Rotowire
Holmes (illness) practiced in full capacity Friday, but his status remains up in the air ahead of the Kings' matchup with the Wizards on Friday night, Brenden Nunes of The Sacramento Bee reports.
Holmes was added to the injury report Thursday with a non-COVID illness but was able to participate in Friday morning's practice. However, Holmes has been a fringe rotation piece for Sacramento, so his potential availability would likely have minimal fantasy impact.

Kings' Richaun Holmes: Upgraded to available
Rotowire
Holmes (illness) is available for Friday's game against the Wizards, Jason Anderson of The Sacramento Bee reports.
Holmes has been cleared for Friday's game after initially being listed as questionable with an illness. However, the backup big man didn't appear in either of the Kings' previous two games despite being healthy, so it's unclear if he'll crack the rotation against Washington.

Kings' Richaun Holmes: Handed questionable tag
Rotowire
Holmes is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Wizards due to a non-COVID illness, Jason Anderson of The Sacramento Bee reports.
Holmes will likely see how he feels during morning shootaround and potentially pregame warmups before a decision on his availability for Friday is made. He's been struggling to see playing time of late due to his spot in the rotation, so it wouldn't impact Sacramento's game plan much if he's unable to go.

Rotowire

Holmes missed Thursday's game against the Spurs due to a non-COVID-related illness, but he was spotted in practice Saturday and looks to be back to full health.

Kings' Richaun Holmes: Returns to practice
Rotowire
Holmes (illness) participated in Saturday's practice after missing the Kings' most recent contest, James Ham of ESPN 1320 Sacramento reports.
Holmes has not been a part of Sacramento's nightly rotation for the last couple of weeks in competitive games, but after missing Thursday's game due to a non-COVID illness, it seems he'll be available for Sunday's matchup against the Pistons. Whether he regains a spot in the rotation upon his return is unclear but unless an injury opens up a larger role for him, Holmes can be ignored in nearly all fantasy formats.

Kings' Richaun Holmes: Out Thursday
Rotowire
Holmes will miss Thursday's game against the Spurs due to a non-COVID illness, Deuce Mason of NBC Sports California reports.
Holmes pops up on the injury report as out for Thursday's contest due to an illness. However, he holds a minor role for Sacramento as a backup center, averaging 4.1 points in 12.0 minutes per game.

Kings' Richaun Holmes: Not in rotation Monday
Rotowire
Holmes did not see the court during Monday's 116-113 loss to the Warriors.
Holmes saw a season-low five minutes during Saturday's win over the Magic, which was followed by a DNP-CD against the Warriors. The center is stuck behind Domantas Sabonis, while Chimezie Metu seems to have more trust with the coaching staff at this point. Adding insult to injury, Holmes' 9.8 percent usage rate is the lowest of his career, and he has one of the worst on-off court numbers in the NBA, with the Kings being 21.3 points worse per 100 possessions when he's on the floor.
