LaVine has been underwhelming since joining the Kings via trade a few weeks ago. The 29-year-old guard is averaging 20.3 points and 4.7 assists through seven games with the Kings, shooting just 43% from the field and 26.4% from beyond the arc.

The duo played the Charlotte Hornets at home on Monday night, and LaVine made Kings history. He scored 42 points on a highly efficient 16-for-19 shooting line and was 8-for-9 from three. He became the first King with a 40-point game on at least 80% field-goal percentage since Wayman Tisdale in 1993.

Zach LaVine scored a season-high 42 points in his finest game with Sacramento since being acquired in a multi-team trade near the deadline, leading the Kings to a 130-88 win over the Charlotte Hornets on Monday night.
