Lyles totaled five points (1-6 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 3-4 FT), 11 rebounds and two steals over 22 minutes during Monday's 119-115 loss to the Timberwolves.
Lyles struggled offensively again, but he salvaged his production by grabbing a team- and season-high 11 boards. He also recorded multiple steals for just the fifth time during the campaign. However, despite his solid defensive outing, Lyles is still on the outskirts of fantasy relevancy due to his poor offensive production.

Kings' Trey Lyles: Suspended one game
Rotowire
Lyles will serve a one-game suspension Wednesday against the Bulls for his role in an altercation with Brook Lopez during Monday's loss, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.

Wednesday's absence will be Lyles' first since Dec. 16. The big man has played well for the Kings lately, scoring in double figures in seven of the past nine games while averaging 12.1 points, 5.7 rebounds and 1.6 assists in 20.9 minutes.

The Kentucky product was held in check after scoring in double figures in each of his previous five matchups heading into Monday's clash, and he failed to record a defensive statistic for his second straight game.

The veteran forward made the most of his limited time, recording double-digit scoring for the third straight game on the strength of a 6-for-9 shooting line. Lyles' four assists were his most since he dished five dimes against Toronto on Jan. 25.

During that stretch, Lyles is putting up 10.3 points, 4.5 rebounds, 0.8 blocks and 1.4 threes per game. For now, he remains on the fantasy periphery, but Lyles is a name to monitor if any of Domantas Sabonis, Keegan Murray or Harrison Barnes were to sustain an injury.

Kings' Trey Lyles: Leads way with precise shooting
Rotowire
Lyles closed Monday's 133-100 victory over the Grizzlies with 24 points (8-11 FG, 6-8 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds, three blocks and two steals across 25 minutes.
Sacramento shot a remarkable 22-of-40 from three-point range in the win, and Lyles led the way with a season-high six triples on just eight attempts. The veteran forward finished with his top scoring effort of the campaign and added impactful peripheral numbers with seven boards, three blocks and a pair of steals. Lyles had seen his playing time dip in four straight games prior to Monday, and he had bottomed out with just two points in 11 minutes in his previous contest. However, his outstanding performance Monday could help get back to a more meaningful role in the Kings' rotation.
