  • Kings' Chris Duarte: Full go at shootaround

    Duarte (thumb), who's listed as questionable, was a full participant during the Kings' morning shootaround and is trending toward playing Wednesday against the Pelicans, Chris Biderman of The Sacramento Bee reports.

    Duarte, Sasha Vezenkov (thumb) and Trey Lyles (calf) are all expected to play despite being listed as questionable, but Keegan Murray (back) is trending in the wrong direction. If Murray is ruled out and Duarte is available, the latter would presumably take the former's spot in the starting lineup. In his only start this season, Duarte posted season highs in points (13), rebounds (eight), assists (four), steals (two) and minutes played (33).

  • Kings' Chris Duarte: Coming off bench vs. Pelicans

    Duarte isn't starting Monday's game against New Orleans.

    Duarte had 13 points (5-8 FG, 3-4 3Pt), eight rebounds, four assists and two steals in 33 minutes during Sunday's 129-113 win over the Mavericks.

    Duarte joined the starting lineup for the first time this season Saturday with Kevin Huerter (finger) unavailable. Duarte responded with his best performance of the year fueled by an efficient showing from beyond the arc. He's averaging 4.5 points in 13.4 minutes per game over 11 appearances off the bench this season and will likely revert to that level of production if he reclaims a reserve role upon Huerter's return.

    Duarte posted six points (2-4 FG, 2-3 3Pt), three rebounds and two steals over 15 minutes during Friday's 129-120 win over the Spurs.

    Duarte played double-digit minutes Friday after being held below 10 minutes of playing time in each of his last three appearances. He racked up multiple steals for the first time this year but remained limited on the scoreboard, and he doesn't carry much fantasy upside as long as Harrison Barnes remains healthy.
