Sets new season-high scoring mark
Plowden notched 23 points (8-12 FG, 6-10 3Pt, 1-2 FT) and three rebounds across 35 minutes during Thursday's 121-117 loss to the Magic.
Analysis
Plowden had established a season-high 22 points in the loss to the Hornets on Tuesday, and he surpassed that mark in the very next game. Even though the former Bowling Green standout is regularly coming off the bench, he's proven he belongs as a natural scorer in the NBA. Plowden has now scored in double digits in nine games in a row (two starts) and has also reached the 20-point plateau in each of the last three.

Season-high 22 points
Plowden closed with 22 points (9-17 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 1-1 FT), two rebounds, one assist and one steal in 36 minutes during Tuesday's 134-90 loss to the Hornets.
Analysis
Plowden returned after a one-game absence (foot), leading the Kings with a season-high 22 points. Sacramento had just eight available players, ensuring meaningful minutes for everyone. Plowden has now scored in double digits in eight straight appearances while also logging double-digit minutes in seven of the eight games. Given all the shenanigans in Sacramento right now, Plowden appears to be relatively trustworthy when available to play.

Cleared to play
Plowden (foot) is good to go for Tuesday's game against the Hornets.
Analysis
Plowden will shed his probable tag to suit up for this contest. With Precious Achiuwa (back) and Nique Clifford (foot) out, Plowden could see a sizable role against Charlotte.

Probable for Tuesday
Plowden is probable for Tuesday's game against the Hornets with right foot soreness.
Analysis
After sitting out Sunday's win over the Nets, Plowden looks to be ready to take the floor Tuesday. Over his last seven appearances, the two-way player has averaged a respectable 14.0 points, 3.6 rebounds, 1.3 steals and 1.1 assists in 31.0 minutes per contest.

Won't play Sunday
Plowden (foot) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Nets.
Analysis
Nique Clifford should soak up most of Plowden's minutes Sunday, and Doug McDermott will have the chance for some extended run. Plowden's next chance to play will come Tuesday in Charlotte.

Iffy for Sunday
Plowden is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Nets due to right foot soreness.
Analysis
Plowden has stepped into a significant role as of late, and he's scored in double figures in seven consecutive outings. However, the Kings could be without Plowden's services Sunday as the 27-year-old tends to a sore right foot.
