Travis Outlaw scored a season-high 15 points in 18 minutes off the Kings' bench on Sunday, taking advantage of copious garbage time.
The bulk of his scoring came in the fourth quarter with Sacramento down by 20 points, and there's no reason to expect a repeat performance on Monday or Wednesday. John Salmons was the Kings second-highest scorer with 14 points, Cole Aldrich added 12 points, and Jimmer Fredette, Tyreke Evans and Isaiah Thomas added 10 apiece. Apr 14 - 10:06 PM

Travis Outlaw will get the start Wednesday with DeMarcus Cousins suspended for one game.

Outlaw hasn't started since Cousins' previous suspension a month ago. He remains unlikely to offer any sort of serious fantasy impact and owners in most leagues should ignore a player who has more than his fair share of DNP-CDs this season.

Travis Outlaw became an emergency starter for the Kings on Sunday, notching 11 points, three rebounds, two assists and two blocks in 26 minutes.

Outlaw started at PF because both DeMarcus Cousins and Thomas Robinson were suspended tonight, but he and Jason Thompson were wildly and predictably overmatched against Pau Gasol and Dwight Howard. Fantasy owners only need to know that Outlaw has racked up three DNP-CDs this season, and his previous season-high was 13 minutes.

Keith Smart believes Travis Outlaw will help the Kings on defense this season.

"I gave him some data and some things to work on this summer," Smart said. "And he came into camp and did a good job." The head coach wants to use Outlaw against "athletic power forwards and big small forwards," and with John Salmons (personal) away from the team, perhaps Outlaw could earn some rotation minutes. However, we're not fully buying what Smart is selling here.

Travis Outlaw is earning the praise of the Kings' coaching staff and could be in line to start at small forward this season.

This is somewhat surprising, although Tyreke Evans and John Salmons are still in the mix to win the job. As it stands right now, we're going to set our depth chart with Isaiah Thomas at point guard, Evans at SG, Outlaw at SF, Jason Thompson at PF and DeMarcus Cousins at C. That would make Marcus Thornton the sixth man, with guys like Aaron Brooks and Salmons coming off the bench.

Travis Outlaw broke his hand in the offseason and will wear a protective glove to start the year.

Outlaw isn't expected to see a ton of time in the rotation this year, and the only thing holding his roster spot is his salary. There is no reason to draft him in any format.

Travis Outlaw will start for injured Marcus Thornton (quad) on Thursday against the Lakers.

Outlaw hung 20 points on the Thunder on Tuesday, and is worth a look for the desperate (preferably in deeper formats). Terrence Williams is also playing tonight, and both guys hope to be the recipients of some garbage time love.

Travis Outlaw started and hit 7-of-15 shots and two 3-pointers on his way to 20 points, seven rebounds, four steals and two blocks on the Kings loss to the Thunder on Tuesday.

Outlaw was a direct beneficiary by the absence of both Terrence Williams (flu) and Marcus Thornton (quad) tonight. He could do it again on Thursday, as it sounds like Thornton might be done for the year.

Travis Outlaw - F - Kings

Travis Outlaw started for injured Marcus Thornton (quad) on Friday, and missed all six of his field goal attempts on his way to one point, four rebounds, one steal, and one block in 27 minutes.

Maybe the Kings gave Outlaw some 'prove-it' minutes, because nothing he has done this season has justified any time on the floor. He has three more years to go at $3 million per season, and it's unclear if the cash-strapped Maloofs would be willing to eat that mistake.

Travis Outlaw started for injured Tyreke Evans (back) on Friday, scoring two points on 1-of-5 shooting with one rebound and two blocks in 14 minutes.

The only thing more ridiculous than the Nets giving Outlaw a big money deal was the Kings turning around and adding Outlaw on a four-year, $12 million contract. Maybe if they kept the money the Maloofs could afford to pay the $3 million they're trying to squirm out of on the arena deal (no, the Kings aren't moving).

Travis Outlaw may see a decreased role in the rotation under Keith Smart.

Donte Greene is seeing more minutes under Smart, while Francisco Garcia has also been playing more since Smart took over at the helm. Outlaw shouldn't be owned in standard sized leagues, but in case he previously was, this should be the incentive to drop him.

Travis Outlaw, who is recovering from a broken hand, practiced with the Kings on Monday.

His had is still an issue, but he's able to play through it. We don't expect him to have fantasy value playing for a deep Kings team this season, but he's probably worth keeping an eye on.

The Kings have claimed Travis Outlaw off waivers, according to Yahoo! Sports.

Outlaw's arrival could signal the end of their pursuit of Andrei Kirilenko. Outlaw is dealing with a hand injury and isn't expected to play for about two weeks. He will likely come off the bench behind John Salmons, and isn't likely to have fantasy value in average leagues.

Sources are telling the New York Post that the Knicks are interested in Travis Outlaw if he clears the amnesty waiver process. Teams that are under the salary-cap would have first shot at Outlaw through a bidding process before the Knicks could make a claim.

Most were shocked when the Nets gave Outlaw a five-year, $35 million deal before the start of last season and the Nets ended up using their amnesty clause on Outlaw this week. Knicks head coach Mike D'Antoni has hinted that the New York Knicks are looking to add another forward to the roster and with the Knicks very interested in adding another bench player, Outlaw could fit the bill.

Travis Outlaw has been waived by the Nets using the amnesty clause.

This doesn't come as a surprise after last year's disastrous season, his monster contract and a broken hand. The Shawne Williams signing appears to be what finally triggered the move and Outlaw will go through the waivers process now. This could also signal that Andrei Kirilenko is ready to sign with the Nets.
