Won't play Sunday
DeRozan (hamstring) is listed as out for Sunday's game in Brooklyn.
Analysis
DeRozan had 22 points across 30 minutes in Saturday's 123-113 loss to Atlanta. However, the veteran won't be available versus Brooklyn due to hamstring soreness. With Malik Monk (shoulder) also out, among several others, Killian Hayes, DaQuan Jeffries, Nique Clifford and Daeqwon Plowden should all receive more minutes, with two of those players potentially moving into the starting lineup.

Analysis
Saturday marked the second game in a row that DeRozan led the Kings in scoring while connecting on 50.0 percent of his field-goal attempts.

Drops 33 points in loss
DeRozan finished with 33 points (12-24 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 9-10 FT), six rebounds and 11 assists in 38 minutes during Thursday's 121-117 loss to the Magic.
