Darius Acuff Jr. vs. Trail Blazers — High-Volume Scoring Surge Continues at Home

Darius Acuff Jr. is healthy and listed as Sacramento's projected starting point guard alongside Zach LaVine, with Precious Achiuwa sidelined due to a leg injury. Coming off a 29-point outing against Orlando, the rookie has surged over his last six games to 28 points and 8 assists per contest, outpacing his season-long averages while holding 100% ownership and a 95% start rate.

Our models project Acuff for 40 fantasy points and 26 points tonight at Golden 1 Center against an 8-3 Portland squad. Despite the 1-10 Kings entering as 10.5-point home underdogs, the 229.5 over/under offers an appealing scoring environment as Acuff plays the second contest of Sacramento's three-game weekly slate, leaving one matchup remaining afterward.

Outlook Anthony Black

Anthony Black vs Bucks — Surging Guard Faces Favorable Home Spot

Healthy and likely to start at point guard, though unconfirmed, Anthony Black continues to thrive while Paolo Banchero remains out and Jalen Suggs carries a questionable tag worth monitoring. Fresh off Wednesday's strong outing in Utah, Black has climbed to 99% rostered and 93% started. Over his last six games, he has surged to 19.3 points and 6.3 assists alongside Franz Wagner and Desmond Bane.

Tonight at home against the 1-11 Bucks, our projection expects a more conservative 13 points and 26.4 fantasy points across 28 minutes. With Orlando favored by 9.5 points against a porous Milwaukee defense, blowout risk could trim his late-game run despite the favorable matchup. Tonight also wraps up a light three-game week for the Magic.
