The Sacramento Kings (22-20) took advantage of a struggling Washington Wizards (6-25) team, extending their recent surge to nine wins in their last ten games with a 123-100 victory on January 20.
Sacramento Kings Top Performers:
Domantas Sabonis 29 PTS | 2-3 3PT | 18 REB | 54.6 FPS
Sabonis’s dominance is on full display this month, consistently recording double-doubles with solid assists and astounding shooting percentages of 64.1% from the field and 68.4% from three. He also notched his 20th game this season with 20+ points and 10+ rebounds.
De’Aaron Fox 12 PTS | 13 AST | 2 STL | 44.5 FPS
Fox’s offensive struggles hit a low point, posting his worst scoring performance from the field and missing all five attempts from deep. But he’s making up for it with sharp playmaking and impactful defensive contributions.
DeMar DeRozan 24 PTS | 6 REB | 2 STL | 41.7 FPS
DeRozan is on a tear, scoring 20 or more points in seven straight games. His offensive consistency has been remarkable, with only two games this month where he shot below 42% from the field. Though his impact in other areas has remained limited.
Malik Monk 23 PTS | 4 AST | 1 STL | 36.2 FPS
Monk has been a consistent contributor in seven categories, including scoring 20+ points five times in his last six games, averaging 8.0 assists, and recording at least one steal in every game this month.
Keon Ellis 18 PTS | 6-8 3PT | 3 REB | 25.1 FPS
Ellis is pushing through an ankle injury but hasn’t lost his impact. He’s back to his regular minutes but remains a reliable spark, knocking down threes and racking up steals with consistency this month.
Washington Wizards Top Performers:
Jonas Valanciunas 23 PTS | 9-11 FG | 12 REB | 43.9 FPS
Valanciunas has been a strong rebounder and efficient scorer despite playing around 20 minutes this month.
Kyle Kuzma 13 PTS | 1-7 3PT | 7 REB | 24.9 FPS
Kuzma’s offensive game has been a rollercoaster with a tough recent stretch from deep. He remains a decent rebounder and playmaker, but his consistency, percentages, and turnovers are becoming a concern.
Corey Kispert 14 PTS | 3 REB | 1 STL | 22.1 FPS
Kispert’s offense has been up and down, connecting on two or more threes seven times while being held to zero four times this month. But he’s still managed to score double digits in his last three games.
Kyshawn George 6 PTS | 3 REB | 3 AST | 19.1 FPS
George has earned more minutes recently and has made the most of them, demonstrating his three-point shooting ability and knack for creating steals.
Bilal Coulibaly 11 PTS | 3-9 FG | 4 REB | 14.8 FPS
Coulibaly remains a work in progress. He’s scored double-digit points in four of his last five games, but his shooting slump persists, with no three-pointers in his last three games, and his overall impact trending downward.
Biggest Disappointment of the Game:
Jordan Poole 11 PTS | 3 AST | 6 TO
Poole had a tough game today, with a lackluster offensive performance and subpar contributions in other areas. This is a departure from his recent consistency, as he had only one bad scoring game this month prior to this contest.
