Off injury report for Wednesday
The 20-year-old swingman was acquired by the Kings on Sunday in a three-team trade that sent De'Aaron Fox to San Antonio and Zach LaVine (personal) to Sacramento. LaVine and Cissoko are both off the injury report and should be available to make their debuts for the Kings on Wednesday. The second-year pro received the majority of his playing time with the Spurs in the G League and is unlikely to play significant minutes with the Kings.

Left off injury report
LaVine missed three straight contests due to personal reasons before being sidelined Monday due to his trade from Chicago to Sacramento still being finalized. However, it appears that the star forward will be able to make his Bulls debut Wednesday and should slide into the starting lineup.

Strong defensive performance
Lyles made an impact defensively in Monday's win against the Timberwolves. The 29-year-old veteran finished with season-high totals in blocks (2) and steals (2), helping Sacramento get the best of Anthony Edwards and company in Minnesota.

Strong defensive showing in start
The Kings swapped out De'Aaron Fox for Zach LaVine in a blockbuster trade, but with LaVine not expected to make his Sacramento debut until Wednesday, Ellis got a spot start and made his usual big impact on the defensive end of the court. The third-year guard has recorded multiple steals in nine of 16 games (seven starts) since the beginning of January, averaging 9.9 points, 2.7 boards, 2.3 threes, 1.9 steals, 1.7 assists and 0.8 blocks in 25.7 minutes a contest over that stretch. Ellis' role isn't likely to increase in the new backcourt rotation, but he should still have value in deeper fantasy formats.

Hits for 19 in Minnesota
The third-year forward posted his best scoring effort since Jan. 10, but Murray hasn't been able to reach the 20-point mark since Nov. 24. His shot volume has fallen this season as he tries to find his place alongside ball-dominant players like DeMar DeRozan, and the trade that swapped De'Aaron Fox out for Zach LaVine isn't likely to open up more looks for Murray.
