Kings' Willie Cauley-Stein (back) to be a game-time decision on Tuesday

Sacramento Kings center Willie Cauley-Stein (back) will be a game-time decision for Tuesday's meeting with the Phoenix Suns.

What It Means:

Back soreness has sidelined Cauley-Stein for three straight games, but he got in a bit of work at practice on Monday, and even if he's not back on the court tomorrow, his return should come some time this week. Look for JaKarr Sampson to see a drop in minutes with Cauley-Stein back.

Accounting for his return, numberFire's models project Cauley-Stein for 12.3 points, 6.9 rebounds and 1.9 assists in 26.5 minutes of action on Tuesday.
