Jason Thompson scored 20 points with eight boards, one assist, one steal and two blocks on 8-of-12 shooting on Wednesday.
He scored just two points in his last game, but scored at least 15 points in his three previous contests. Thompson's fouls have been on the rise and with Patrick Patterson expected back soon, there's very little reason to pick him up. The Kings do have four games left from Friday to Wednesday, which could help some owners. Apr 11 - 1:04 AM

Jason Thompson - F/C - Kings

Jason Thompson scored 16 points on 6-of-13 shooting with 16 rebounds, four assists and a block over 37 minutes in Friday's loss to the Mavs.

Thompson and Patrick Patterson (10 points, seven rebounds, one three, 42 minutes) got a boat load of time with DeMarcus Cousins riding the pine, and that could be the case at times going forward, but good luck guessing when. Both Thompson and Patterson are deep league guys at heart.

Jason Thompson - F/C - Kings

Jason Thompson has improved his perimeter defense in order to guard stretch power forwards more efficiently.

"I thought this year Jason did a pretty decent job," Keith Smart said. "I thought overall he's done a decent job with that." Thompson remains in the Kings starting lineup, but he hasn't exceeded 27 minutes of playing time since March 27 and will have to compete with Patrick Patterson for minutes.

Jason Thompson - F/C - Kings

Jason Thompson scored four points with four boards and one block in 21 minutes against the Wolves on Thursday.

His production has dropped off and the emergence of Patrick Patterson is the culprit for him. Thompson and the Kings have a sub-par schedule the rest of the way, so he's a prime candidate to cut in several leagues.

Jason Thompson - F/C - Kings

Jason Thompson (head) is listed as the probable starter on Thursday against the Timberwolves.

Thompson was forced to leave Tuesday's game after colliding with DeAndre Jordan and required stitches near his eye, but apparently he's expected to give it a go on Thursday. If Thompson is forced to sit this one out, Patrick Patterson would likely step into the starting lineup with Chuck Hayes seeing more burn off the bench.

Jason Thompson - F/C - Kings

Jason Thompson collided with DeAndre Jordan on Tuesday and didn't return to the game after receiving stitches near his eye, finishing with just two points and two rebounds in 15 minutes.

With Patrick Patterson available and playing well, Thompson simply wasn't needed to come back in the game. Thompson scored just seven points in his previous game, but had scored in double figures in six straight prior to his last two duds. He's in a timeshare with Patterson now, but his injury doesn't appear to be serious and he's still the Kings' starting power forward until further notice.

Jason Thompson - F/C - Kings

Jason Thompson finished Sunday's narrow loss with 18 points, eight rebounds, two assists, one steal and one block in 37 minutes.

He knocked down 8-of-13 field goals and became a focal point once DeMarcus Cousins was ejected after a Flagrant-2 foul. Cousins may well be suspended vs. Chicago on Wednesday, but Thompson remains a risky option with just two games on the schedule next week.
Mar 10 - 11:46 PM
Jason Thompson - F/C - Kings

Jason Thompson had 17 points, eight rebounds and two steals in 34 minutes on Wednesday.

Thompson is playing very well over the past few weeks, but beware that the Kings play just two games next week.
Mar 7 - 1:55 AM
Jason Thompson - F/C - Kings

Jason Thompson hit 9-of-11 shots for 18 points and six rebounds in Tuesday's loss to the Nuggets.

After a three-game stretch of scoring eight or fewer points, Thompson had 18 points and 14 boards in his previous game before tonight's gem. He's a fine player to own right now, but just beware that the Kings play two games next week, before finishing 4-3-3-3-2, which is not great news for their owners in playoff leagues.

Jason Thompson - F/C - Kings

The Kings cruised on Sunday behind an efficient game from Jason Thompson, who scored 18 points on 6-of-8 FGs and 6-of-6 FTs, with 14 rebounds and two steals.

JT did his damage in only 28 minutes, and none of Sacramento's starters broke the 31-minute barrier in the rout. He's gone through some rough patches this season, but Thompson has resurfaced as a reliable source of points (10.8), rebounds (6.8) and blocks (0.8).
Mar 3 - 10:01 PM
Jason Thompson - F/C - Kings

Jason Thompson scored nine points on 3-of-9 shooting with 10 rebounds and two blocks in 30 minutes on Friday.

Thompson has earned the starting spot in his teammates' eyes, but there is no telling what Keith Smart will do when Patrick Patterson arrives. There is no management component to the Kings at all right now, so it's unclear if there will be an internal push to prove their trade wasn't a classless salary dump. Thompson is putting up decent numbers right now, so give him a look.

Jason Thompson - F/C - Kings

Jason Thompson had 17 points, nine rebounds and a block on 6-of-11 shooting in 36 minutes of Wednesday's loss to the Mavericks.

His slump is officially over, and he's averaging 17.6 points, 7.8 rebounds, 1.0 steals and 1.0 blocks over his last five, while getting 36 minutes and hitting 61 percent of his shots. Prior to the hot streak, he scored nine or fewer points in five straight games and played 21 minutes or less in four of those. If he's still available in your league, pick him up.

Jason Thompson - F/C - Kings

Jason Thompson scored 21 points and grabbed seven rebounds in Saturday's win vs. the Jazz, making 9-of-11 field goals in 36 minutes.

JT added a steal and a swat without any turnovers, capping a worthy follow-up to his 23 & 10 line on Monday. He has a combined one assist and two blocks in his past eight games, which speaks to his fantasy limitations, but anyone who owns him should ride him until he cools off.
Feb 10 - 1:26 AM
Jason Thompson - F/C - Kings

Jason Thompson played 45 minutes against the Jazz on Monday and had 23 points, 10 boards, two steals and one block.

He took full advantage of DeMarcus Cousins getting ejected for calling a ref a "bleeping female." Thompson's fantasy value has dropped off a cliff prior to this explosion, so he would probably need Cousins to miss time in order to make his way back to standard league rosters.
Feb 5 - 1:16 AM
Jason Thompson - F/C - Kings

Jason Thompson came off the Kings' bench on Saturday for the first time this season, notching four points, four rebounds and one steal.

With Carmelo Anthony playing PF, Keith Smart opted for a smaller lineup than usual. However, he also shied away from using Thompson to match up with Amare Stoudemire in the second unit, and we've stopped guessing where his rotations will go on any given night. Even as a starter, JT had scored double-digit points just twice in the past 14 games.
