Lyles ended Monday's 118-111 overtime victory over Minnesota with 11 points (4-6 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 2-3 FT), three rebounds, one assist and one steal in 16 minutes.
Lyles continues to play a key role off the bench for Sacramento, as Monday marked his 13th consecutive game playing double-digit minutes. 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.

Rotowire
Lyles recorded 20 points (6-8 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 5-6 FT), seven rebounds and two blocks across 21 minutes during Wednesday's 135-115 win over the Rockets.
The Kings entered the fourth period Wednesday trailing by a point, but they ended up with a 20-point margin of victory largely due to Lyles' performance in the final quarter. The veteran compiled 15 points and six rebounds in the decisive period, making all five of his field-goal attempts, including all three from three-point range. The clutch performance allowed Lyles to finish with a season-high 20 points, and he has now scored in double digits in three straight games for the first time this season.

Kings' Trey Lyles: Secures three rebounds in win
Rotowire
Lyles had zero points (0-1 FG, 0-1 3Pt), three rebounds and one block across 15 minutes during Tuesday's 113-109 win over the Grizzlies.
Lyles had just one field-goal attempt during Tuesday's close matchup, and he was held scoreless for the third time in the last six games. The 27-year-old has some bursts of production, as he's scored in double figures in five of his first 14 appearances this year. However, he isn't consistent enough to make him an appealing fantasy option at this point.

Kings' Trey Lyles: Struggles despite victory
Rotowire
Lyles posted zero points (0-4 FG, 0-4 3Pt), two rebounds and one assist in 14 minutes during Friday's 120-114 win over the Lakers.
Lyles failed to score for the first time in his nine appearances this season. Lyles' 37.8 three-point percentage makes him a valuable floor spacer for the Kings, but his 15.2 minutes per game and modest production prevent him from keeping that same value in most fantasy formats.

Rotowire

Kings' Trey Lyles: Dealing with foot injury
Rotowire
Lyles is questionable for Wednesday's game due to right foot soreness.
Lyles played a season-high 21 minutes during Monday's win over the Hornets, but he presumably picked up a foot injury as well. If he's sidelined, KZ Okpala, Richaun Holmes and Chimezie Metu would be likely candidates for increased roles.

Kings' Trey Lyles: Chips in across board in win
Rotowire
Lyles ended Monday's 115-108 win over the Hornets with six points (1-4 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 3-4 FT), four rebounds, three assists, two blocks and one steal over 21 minutes.
Lyles managed to end his night with an eclectic collection of stats, producing in low volume across all major categories. While a line like this can have sneaky value, it is certainly not something we see consistently. Based on this one effort, we are not making any moves to grab him outside of the deepest formats.
