Willie Cauley-Stein racks up 17 points and 10 rebounds in Kings' Tuesday loss

Sacramento Kings center Willie Cauley-Stein put up 17 points on 8-for-13 shooting Tuesday, to go with 10 rebounds, 1 assist, 1 block, and 2 steals in a 116-99 loss to the Portland Trail Blazers.

What It Means:

The Kings are set on giving their young players minutes over the rest of the season, and Cauley-Stein's fantasy value is going to continue to be high if that's the case. WCS has played 30 or more minutes in his last three games and he'll have another chance for a big game Thursday against the Brooklyn Nets.

Our early models for Thursday project Cauley-Stein for 28.6 FanDuel points at a cost of $6,900.
