LaVine ended Wednesday's 120-106 Play-In Game loss to Dallas with 20 points (8-19 FG, 4-10 3Pt), three rebounds and nine assists across 44 minutes.
The 30-year-old wing had another good showing from beyond the arc, but it wasn't enough to keep the Kings' playoff hopes alive. LaVine drained at least four three-pointers in seven straight games to close out his campaign. Over 32 appearances with Sacramento following a midseason trade from Chicago, he averaged 22.4 points, 3.8 assists, 3.5 rebounds and 3.2 three-pointers. Sacramento will likely be looking to shake up its roster this summer, but it's hard to see LaVine being on the move again -- he has one year and $46 million left on his current contract, plus a player option for 2026-27 at $48.97 million.

Rotowire
LaVine contributed 16 points (6-11 FG, 4-6 3Pt) and two assists in 27 minutes during Sunday's 109-98 victory over the Suns.
LaVine snapped a streak of four games with at least 40 minutes in this regular-season finale, as he was limited to a mere 27 minutes against an already-eliminated Suns team. LaVine should handle his regular workload when the Kings take on the Mavericks in the Play-In Tournament on Wednesday. The veteran averaged 23.3 points, 4.3 rebounds and 4.2 assists per game in 74 regular-season appearances between the Kings and Bulls.

Kings' Zach LaVine: Goes for 26 points in loss
Rotowire
LaVine logged 26 points (9-23 FG, 4-12 3Pt, 4-4 FT), four rebounds and five assists across 41 minutes during Friday's 101-100 loss to the Clippers.
LaVine didn't have his best shooting performance, as he needed 23 shots to score 26 points while making just 33.3 percent of his treys, but fantasy managers will gladly look past the efficiency issues as long as he continues to hit the 25-point mark on a regular basis. The veteran scorer has recorded 25 or more points in five games in a row, a stretch in which he's shooting 53.2 percent from the floor and 55.1 percent from three-point range.

Kings' Zach LaVine: Double-double in loss to Denver
Rotowire
LaVine accumulated 27 points (10-20 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 3-4 FT) and 11 assists across 44 minutes during Wednesday's 124-116 loss to the Nuggets.
The double-double was his sixth of the season and third in 30 contests for the Kings, while the 27 points led the team in scoring on the night. LaVine is building some impressive momentum to take with him into the Play-In Tournament -- he's scored at least 25 points in four straight games. He's drained multiple three-pointers in eight of the last nine contests, averaging 25.3 points, 4.0 threes, 3.7 assists and 3.1 boards over the latter stretch while shooting 53,8 percent from the floor and a blistering 51.4 percent from beyond the arc.

Kings' Zach LaVine: Drops season-high 43 points
Rotowire
LaVine ended Monday's 127-117 victory over the Pistons with 43 points (16-28 FG, 8-11 3Pt, 3-4 FT), three rebounds, four assists and one steal in 45 minutes.
LaVine continued his recent scoring surge, tallying at least 25 points for the third straight game. His 43 points marked a season-high and powered the Kings to their third straight victory. Sacramento will need to do it the hard way should they hope to feature in the postseason, likely facing two play-in games. If LaVine can maintain his current momentum, perhaps they can pull off a couple of surprises.

Kings' Zach LaVine: Stays hot in upset win
Rotowire
LaVine ended Sunday's 120-113 win over the Cavaliers with 37 points (15-21 FG, 7-11 3Pt), two rebounds and one assist in 42 minutes.
LaVine caught fire from long distance, draining a game-high seven three-pointers while leading all scorers in Sunday's upset victory. After enduring a brief four-game cold spell in late March, the star swingman is heating back up over his last six outings. LaVine is shooting 55.3 percent from the field and 50.0 percent from beyond the arc during this period, logging 23.2 points, 3.8 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 3.3 three-pointers per game.

Kings' Zach LaVine: Grabs 10 boards in double-double
Rotowire
LaVine supplied 25 points (9-19 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 3-3 FT), 10 rebounds, three assists and one steal over 33 minutes during Friday's 125-102 win over the Hornets.
LaVine delivers most of his fantasy value in the scoring column, as he's one of the best pure offensive weapons in the NBA, but he was active crashing the boards Friday, resulting in his fourth double-double of the season. The 10 boards also matched his season-high mark in that category. LaVine is averaging 18.9 points, 4.4 rebounds and 3.0 assists per game over his last eight games. Still, he's cleared the 20-point mark just twice in that span, and fantasy managers would certainly expect a bit more out of him in the final days of the regular season and with the Kings fighting for a Play-In berth.

LaVine essentially went down with the ship in Saturday's rout, tying for his fewest minutes in a game since joining the Kings. The star guard has been fairly quiet in late March, averaging 16.0 points, 3.7 assists, 3.2 rebounds and 1.7 three-pointers in 35.0 minutes while shooting just 29.4 percent from deep and having reached the 20-point plateau only one time over his last six games.

LaVine led the Kings in scoring Thursday, marking his 42nd outing with at least 20 points through 65 regular-season appearances. The star swingman didn't offer much outside of his scoring Thursday, though he shot the ball at an efficient clip.

Kings' Zach LaVine: Not playing Wednesday
Rotowire
LaVine is listed out for Wednesday's game against the Cavaliers due to a personal matter.
Since being acquired from the Bulls on Feb. 3, LaVine had played in each of the Kings' ensuing 18 games, but he'll take a seat Wednesday while he tends to a personal situation. His absence could open up more volume for Malik Monk and DeMar DeRozan, while Devin Carter and Keon Ellis could both take on heightened roles in the rotation. It's unclear if the Kings anticipate LaVine returning for the second leg of a back-to-back set Thursday versus the Bulls.

After failing to score 20 points in either of the prior two games while attempting only 16 total field goals, LaVine's shot volume started to creep up again Friday. The 30-year-old wing has drained at least one three-pointer in 16 straight contests since being blanked from beyond the arc in his Kings debut Feb, 5, and over that stretch LaVine has averaged 23.3 points, 4.1 boards, 3.8 assists, 3.2 threes and 0.8 steals while shooting an impressive 53.3 percent from the floor and 44.3 percent from long distance.

LaVine closed Thursday's 130-104 loss to the Warriors with 14 points (5-6 FG, 4-4 3Pt), three assists and one rebound over 32 minutes.

LaVine has scored 20 or more points in seven of his last 10 appearances, and in that 10-game span, he has averaged 23.6 points, 4.5 rebounds and 3.1 assists across 36.1 minutes per game.

Kings' Zach LaVine: Shines with 36 points in win
Rotowire
LaVine totaled 36 points (14-22 FG, 7-11 3Pt, 1-1 FT), four rebounds and three assists in 39 minutes during Friday's 127-109 victory over San Antonio.
LaVine strutted his stuff in front of De'Aaron Fox, who failed to make an impact against his former team. Malik Monk's (toe) absence only enhanced LaVine's dominance in the backcourt, illustrating the obvious improvements made that involved shipping Fox out of town. LaVine shipped seven three-pointers in the decisive win, marking his second-highest total of the season beyond the arc. The Kings are 2-1 without Domantas Sabonis (hamstring), and excellent totals from LaVine and the rest of the starting five are keeping Sacramento's playoff hopes afloat.

LaVine has reached the 20-point mark in seven of his 10 appearances, including in three straight, with the Kings since being acquired in the deal that sent De'Aaron Fox to the Spurs. He's quickly established himself as one of the team's top scoring weapons alongside DeMar DeRozan and Domantas Sabonis (hamstring).

LaVine's 42 points mark a new season high, and this was the eighth time in his career that he knocked down at least eight shots from beyond the arc. In his first eight games with Sacramento, LaVine appears to be fitting in well with averages of 23.0 points, 4.4 assists, 3.3 rebounds, 1.0 steals and 2.8 three-pointers.
