Dishes out 10 assists Sunday
The veteran point guard remained in the first unit despite the return of Dennis Schroder (hip), handing out at least 10 dimes for the ninth time in 2025-26. After spending most of the offseason in free agency, Westbrook has been a strong fantasy producer in points leagues with the Kings. Over his last 10 appearances, he's averaged 13.9 points, 9.0 assists, 6.6 rebounds, 1.9 steals per game.

Strong scoring off bench in return
Schroder made his return to action Sunday after missing Sacramento's previous seven games due to a right hip flexor strain. While Russell Westbrook retained starting duties at point guard, Schroder was still able to overlap with him a bit due to Zach LaVine exiting due to a left ankle injury after playing just 16 minutes. Nique Clifford ended up opening the second half with the starting five in LaVine's stead, but Schroder and fellow reserve guard Malik Monk would likely continue to see notable spikes in playing time if LaVine isn't available for the Kings' next game Thursday in Portland.

Limited impact vs. Minnesota
Raynaud took a step back in his fourth consecutive start, though that was more due to a lack of touches rather than a lack of efficiency. If Domantas Sabonis (knee) is cleared to return Thursday against the Trail Blazers, Raynaud would move back to the bench, and that would limit his fantasy upside considerably in deeper leagues.
