Zach LaVine returned to the starting lineup for the Kings Tuesday, tallying 20 points, four rebounds, and a solid all-around performance in a loss to the Mavericks. LaVine’s return follows a nine-game absence due to a sprained ankle. His potential to achieve top-50 per-game value hinges on Sacramento’s approach to the trade deadline and roster adjustments, especially with Keegan Murray sidelined for several weeks.
