Sacramento Kings center Willie Cauley-Stein will miss at least the next two games due to a lower back strain.
The Kings have no playoff hopes this season, and it's no surprise that head coach Dave Joerger has said that he will exercise caution in working the 24-year-old Cauley-Stein back into the lineup. Look for Jakarr Sampson to see an increase in playing time with Cauley-Stein on the shelf.
numberFire's models project Cauley-Stein to average 12.6 points, 6.8 rebounds and 1.6 assists in 28.8 minutes per game over the remainder of the season.
