Kings' Arron Afflalo: Will play Thursday vs. Nuggets

Afflalo (hamstring) is no longer listed on the team's injury report and is good to go for Thursday's game against the Nuggets, Jason Jones of the Sacramento Bee reports.

Analysis:

Afflalo was thrust into a starting role prior to the All-Star break due to some serious depth issues because of injuries. However, the recent trade of DeMarcus Cousins brought back a ton of bodies on the wing, which is sure to significantly drop Afflalo's fantasy value moving forward. The Kings haven't announced their re-fashioned starting lineup, but with the influx in bodies, there's no guarantees Afflalo is able to reclaim his role. We should get another update on who the top unit will be at some point closer to tip-off.
