Mavericks' Richaun Holmes: Moves into starting lineup
Rotowire
Holmes will start Saturday's game against the Clippers.
Dereck Lively is sitting out with a back issue, but it sounds like he's day-to-day. Holmes played well Wednesday against the Lakers with four points, 10 rebounds, one assist and a block in 23 minutes, and he'll have a big opportunity to build some momentum Saturday.

Mavericks' Richaun Holmes: Makes impression in limited action
Rotowire
Holmes recorded two points (1-1 FG), two rebounds, one steal and one block in nine minutes during Thursday's preseason opener against the Timberwolves in Abu Dhabi.
Holmes was used sparingly for the Kings last season before completely falling out of the rotation. He is looking for a fresh start in Dallas but finds himself in a crowded frontcourt. The Mavericks drafted Olivier-Maxence Prosper and Dereck Lively, signed Holmes and Grant Williams and also have returning players like Maxi Kleber, Dwight Powell and Josh Green who all figure to have consistent minutes. Holmes will need to impress during preseason action to carve out a reserve role to begin the 2023-24 campaign.

Mavericks' Richaun Holmes: Headed to Dallas
Rotowire
Holmes was traded from the Kings to the Mavericks on Thursday along with the No. 24 pick in the 2023 NBA Draft, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.
The Mavs created a trade exception earlier on Draft Night when they sent Davis Bertans to the Thunder, and they'll immediately use that exception to add some much-needed veteran depth up front. Holmes played sparingly in 42 games for the Kings last season, but in 2021-22 he averaged 10.4 points, 7.0 rebounds, 1.1 assists and 0.9 blocks while shooting 66.0 percent from the field. Holmes should have a decent chance to start at center for the Mavs, who also added Duke big man Dereck Lively with the No. 12 overall pick. Dallas selected Olivier-Maxence Prosper with the No. 24 overall selection.

Rotowire
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.

Rotowire
Holmes (illness) is available for Saturday's game against the Wizards, Sean Cunningham of Fox 40 Sacramento reports.
Holmes had been battling a non-COVID illness, but he's deemed available to play. However, he has played four total minutes since the All-Star break and is currently out of the Kings' rotation, so his return won't affect many fantasy decisions.

Rotowire
Holmes (illness) will not play Wednesday versus the Bulls.

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: 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: 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: 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.
