It’s the final weekend before the NBA regular season begins, which means you’re coming here for your fantasy basketball drafts.
Should you draft Domantas Sabonis this season? Here’s the latest outlook, projections, and rankings for the Sacramento Kings Center.
Should You Draft Domantas Sabonis in Fantasy Basketball?
Domantas Sabonis remains one of the league’s most dependable big men and a fantasy rock thanks to his durability, efficiency, and rebounding dominance. He has led the NBA in double-doubles for three straight seasons and played at least 70 games in each, giving him one of the highest floors in fantasy basketball. While his assists dipped, he offset that with career-best efficiency from the line and from deep.
The Kings underwent another roster shuffle to form a more isolation-heavy lineup. Those moves may curb Sabonis’ assist ceiling, but head coach Doug Christie is expected to lean on him more as a distributor without a true point guard. The veteran’s chemistry with Keegan Murray and his growing confidence as a floor-spacer (2.2 3-point attempts per game in 2024) provide added offensive versatility.
Fantasy managers can count on Sabonis for nightly double-doubles, elite percentages, and solid playmaking from the center position. He remains a mid–first-round staple in points leagues and a strong second-rounder in category formats given his low turnovers and shooting efficiency. While he won’t contribute much in defensive stats or threes, his usage and efficiency make him one of the safest bigs in fantasy basketball.
