McLemore finished with 24 points (9-18 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 4-6 FT), five rebounds, seven assists and two steals in 40 minutes during Wednesday's win over the Lakers.
McLemore has been inconsistent with his play all season long, which has frustrated many people throughout fantasy leagues. Despite the constant inconsistency though, McLemore really finished the season strong, as he averaged 17.6 points over his last five games of the year.

McLemore posted 20 points, four rebounds, one assist, and one block in 35 minutes of action Friday against the Thunder.
McLemore is averaging 16.0 points, 1.6 steals, and 2.0 treys over the last five games. Surprisingly, he's also shooting 49 percent from the field during that span. That being said, he's worth owning in standard leagues.

McLemore (forearm) posted 17 points, three rebounds, one assist, and four steals in 31 minutes of action Sunday against the Wizards.
McLemore has played solid this season, averaging 11.8 points, 2.9 rebounds, 1.6 assists, and 1.7 threes a game. He isn't the most efficient player, but owners in 14-man leagues could certainly use him -- given that he averages 32.6 minutes a game.
Sun Mar 22 201517:05McLemore (forearm) will play in Sunday's game against Wizards
McLemore (forearm) will play in Sunday's game against the Wizards, Cowbell Kingdom reports.
McLemore was expected to play Sunday and this is just confirmation from the Kings that he will officially play. The 22-year-old is listed as a starter, per usual, and he'll likely take on his normal compliment of minutes against the Wizards.

McLemore (forearm) is listed as probable for Sunday's contest against the Wizards, the Kings' official site reports.
Entering Friday's game against the Hornets with a right forearm contusion, McLemore proceeded to put up nine points (3-7 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 1-1 FT), two assists, and one steal in 27 minutes. Expect a similar amount of run as the starting two-guard Sunday and going forward.

McLemore (forearm) scored nine points to go along with two assists and one steal in 27 minutes against the Hornets on Friday.
McLemore was dealing with a minor forearm injury ahead of Friday's game but still managed to take the court in his normal fashion nonetheless. He should be available moving forward as he continues his role as Sacramento's starting shooting guard.

McLemore (forearm) is listed as probable for Friday's contest against the Hornets, the Kings' official site reports.
Since breaking out for 27 points on Mar. 11, McLemore has been quelled on offense, totaling 22 points over the last four contests. The stretch includes Wednesday's scoreless outing in 19 minutes, though he should resume his role as the Kings' starting two-guard, if he plays, as expected, Friday.

McLemore scored 27 points (10-16 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 4-4 FT) with two rebounds, two assists and a steal in 41 minutes during Wednesday's win over the Hornets.
With the Charlotte defense working hard to try and contain Rudy Gay and DeMarcus Cousins, McLemore found himself with a number of excellent looks and was able to do some damage. While the second-year guard is still very inconsistent, he does have four 20-plus point efforts in his last eight games, and seems to be finding himself under new Kings coach George Karl. McLemore could be in line for a solid finish to the season.

McLemore finished with 20 points (7-16 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 3-4 FT), four rebounds, two steals and a blocked shot in 45 minutes during Saturday's overtime loss to the Heat.
McLemore has posted two 20-point outings over his last four-game stretch, but he combined for just nine points in the other two, as he remains inconsistent with his play. Considering he went a combined 3-for-13 from the field and 1-for-6 from the three-point line in the two previous games coming into Saturday, it was good to see him get things pointed back in the right direction with this performance. He remains a solid source of three-pointers, but fantasy owners will have to deal with his inconsistency if they want to use him in their lineups.

McLemore scored 20 points for the second time in three games Tuesday, shooting 6-for-12 from the floor in 23 minutes and finished the game with two rebounds and four assists.
McLemore has been playing much better this season than during his rookie campaign. He could be worth being used on teams in need of three-point shooting. He's making 1.8 threes per game this season, and is coming off a month in which he averaged 13.4 points per game.

McLemore finished with 18 points (6-9 FG, 4-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds, two assists and three steals in 40 minutes during Tuesday's loss to the Golden State Warriors.
McLemore found his stroke in this game, hitting four three-pointers for the first time since December 13. After scoring 17 points on Wednesday, he went two games in a row without reaching double-digits in points, so he continues to be very inconsistent with his scoring. McLemore has been a decent source of three-pointers, but as it has already been mentioned, fantasy owners should be aware of his inconsistent scoring.

McLemore scored 17 points (6-11 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT) with five rebounds in 36 minutes during Wednesday's loss to the Raptors.
His scoring has been erratic, as you might expect from a second-year player without a big role in his team's offense, but McLemore has hit for multiple three-pointers in four of his last six games. He's someone to keep an eye on in shallower leagues if you need help in that category.
Sun Jan 4 201521:46McLemore scored 11 points (2-11 FG, 0-6 3Pt, 7-7 FT), to go alon...
McLemore scored 11 points (2-11 FG, 0-6 3Pt, 7-7 FT), to go along with four assists, and a steal in 40 minutes on Sunday.
McLemore shot the ball terribly tonight, but has actually been playing at a high level recently. Throughout the month of December he was knocking down 1.8 three-pointers, grabbing 3.1 boards and stealing 0.6 balls a game. Without anyone else on Sacramento showing they're a threat to take his minutes, McLemore remains a high-upside player going forward.

McLemore had 15 points (3-7 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 6-7 FT) and had one rebound, two assists, one steal and one block on Tuesday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers in 25 minutes of play.
McLemore has played as many as 47 minutes in an overtime game against the Pacers and played as little as 18 minutes against the Jazz. During this two week period he has scored as many as 21 points or as little as two points. This boom or bust stretch for McLemore is somewhat expected as he is a second year player that plays for a team that is dominated by their two studs in Rudy Gay and DeMarcus Cousins.

McLemore played 47 minutes on Friday against the Pacers and scored 12 points (4-9 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 3-4 FT) and added five rebounds and a steal on Friday.
McLemore played a total of 47 minutes on Friday in the overtime win against the Pacers but was not able to do a whole lot with it. He has been scoring at a decent rate over his last five games (15.6 PPG) but has contributed little outside of that. It's great to see the amount of minutes McLemore is receiving, but let's see if he can do more with his time on the court for fantasy purposes.
Wed Dec 3 201400:44McLemore scored 21 points (8-17 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 4-4 FT), with two a...
McLemore scored 21 points (8-17 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 4-4 FT), with two assists and one steal in 39 minutes during Tuesday's loss to the Raptors.
With DeMarcus Cousins (illness) out of the lineup, McLemore got plenty of shots up. He scored the ball well, but didn't do much else. Fantasy owners have seen him play solid basketball over the recent games, making him an interesting option in deeper leagues, and possibly even many standard leagues as well.

McLemore neared a double-double by scoring 22 points (9-17 FG, 4-9 3Pt) with nine rebounds in addition to three assists in 41 minutes Saturday.
This was McLemore's best fantasy game of the season, notching season highs in points, rebounds, assists, steals, field goal attempts, and minutes. In contrast, backup Nik Stauskas played only seven minutes, and has seen generally less playing time recently. While this performance is not what you should expect from McLemore from here on out, it does appear that he will be getting a little more playing time than he did over the first several games.
Fri Nov 21 201401:37McLemore recored line of 11 points (4-6 FG, 3-4 3Pt), one reboun...
McLemore recored a line of 11 points (4-6 FG, 3-4 3Pt), one rebound, and one steal with two turnovers. He played 30 minutes in the win Thursday over Chicago.
McLemore has firmly secured the shooting guard job over rookie teammate Nik Stauskas to this point. He has fell off a bit in the scoring department of late, but the minutes are there for him. There are likely better options in standard fantasy formats.

McLemore had a good all around game on Sunday, finishing with 16 points (6-9 FG, 4-6 3Pt), two rebounds, and two assists in 28 minutes.
McLemore has now scored in double digits in three consecutive games. His shooting numbers during this span hasn't been bad either, while putting up decent rebounding numbers as well. He's still not a target for those in shallow leagues, but is definitely someone to keep an eye on. While those in deeper leagues may want to look at the guard to see if he can maintain this scoring touch.
Mon Nov 3 201413:33McLemore hit single three pointer (1-4 FG, 1-3 3P) in 20 minutes...
McLemore hit a single three pointer (1-4 FG, 1-3 3P) in 20 minutes of action against the Los Angeles Clippers on Monday. He added one rebound and one steal with no turnovers.
McLemore is still the starting SG but that will change fast if rookie teammate Nik Stauskas continues to progress. Their minutes were split evenly on Monday but Stauskas clearly has the more upside of the two. Even with decent playing time, Ben McLemore should be left on the waiver wire in all leagues.
