Monroe tallied nine points (4-12 FG, 1-2 FT), nine rebounds, two assists and one blocked shot over 22 minutes in Tuesday's 93-90 win over the Trail Blazers.

EDGE Analysis

As the saying goes, if it isn't broke, don't fix it. That being said, it's still confounding why Coach Jason Kidd starts Thon Maker, keeps him on the floor for three minutes and yields to Monroe for the rest of the game. The formula just seems to suit Monroe, who's quietly become the definitive sixth man for the Bucks. The seventh-year center has seen his usage drop significantly from last year, but he's continued to produce, averaging 11.8 points and 6.7 rebounds without a single start. He'll occasionally see his minutes dip if John Henson gets hot in his limited usage, but Monroe is as consistent as they come off the bench. If you need help with rebounds, you could do a lot worse.

Monroe produced 12 points (6-13 FG,) seven rebounds, two assists and one steal over 17 minutes in Saturday's 117-92 loss to the Warriors.

EDGE Analysis

Having gotten an early hook Friday against the Lakers due to a skirmish with D'Angelo Russell and Nick Young, Monroe came back with a vengeance, maximizing his time on the court and even checking in tied for second on the team in shot attempts despite modest playing time. The veteran big man has been one of the most dependable bench players in the NBA for fantasy purposes, as he's now posted eight straight double-digit scoring efforts and continues to provide solid returns in the areas of rebounding and assists as well.

Monroe finished with 12 points (6-6 FG) while adding six rebounds, three assists, three blocked shots and a steal over 16 minutes in Friday's 107-103 win against the Lakers.

EDGE Analysis

Monroe was on his way to having a pretty productive stat line but he was ejected in the third quarter for his part in a dust-up with Nick Young and D'Angelo Russell of the Lakers. The veteran is is unlikely to see any additional disciplinary action due to the shoving match.

Monroe posted 18 points (6-7 FG, 6-7 FT), seven rebounds, two assists, one steal and a block across 27 minutes in Friday's 99-85 win over the Pacers.

EDGE Analysis

Since Jabari Parker (knee) went down for the season, the ever-confounding coach Jason Kidd has employed a wide variety of looks in his starting five. Going small by shifting Antetokounmpo to the 4 and using a combo of Thon Maker and John Henson at center has been one of the most frequent schemes, but inevitably Monroe has found his way into the rotation and gotten his share of minutes off the bench, routinely boasting respectable stat lines in a reserve role. Coach Kidd can be a bit frustrating for fantasy owners as his frontcourt's usage has varied wildly since the loss of Parker, so it is tough to depend on Monroe to produce on a regular basis. He can be a good source of rebounds when his usage is over his average (currently 22.4 minutes), but expectations must be tempered due to Monroe's current situation.

Monroe scored 17 points (6-14 FG, 5-7 FT) while adding eight rebounds, three assists and one block across 22 minutes in Wednesday's 104-93 win over the Knicks.

EDGE Analysis

Although it wasn't the most efficient night from Monroe, it was a better shooting performance than his past two games, where he has shot just 36.8 percent from the floor. Minutes continues to be the main issue with Monroe's spotty production, as he often gets capped just over 20 minutes per night. However, when he's been given extended playing time (over 30 minutes), he has capitalized with at least 20 points in three out of four most recent opportunities. The Bucks like playing a small starting lineup though, with Thon Maker usually manning down the center while the explosive and versatile Antetokounmpo handles the power forward position. Monroe should continue to post numbers similar to his season averages suggest on a nightly basis due to his inconsistent playing time off the bench.

Monroe finished with 12 points (5-10 FG, 2-2 FT) and two rebounds across 22 minutes during Monday's 112-98 victory over the 76ers.

EDGE Analysis

With the Bucks leading 91-68 by the end of the third quarter, Monroe wasn't called upon to play heavy minutes off the bench. He also picked up five fouls and two turnovers, not helping his cause. It's possible that Monroe's minutes from here on out may hover around 20-to-25 per night, as coach Jason Kidd has thrown Spencer Hawes into the Bucks' center rotation over the past two contests. Hawes is able to play a similar role for the Bucks as Monroe -- that of a high-post passer and screen-setter -- but is also able to stretch the floor, opening up more space for guys like Giannis Antetokounmpo to get to the rack. Monroe's playing time is worth monitoring, but Jason Kidd often changes his rotations, making it difficult to know for sure how much time Monroe may get on any given night.

Monroe finished with 24 points (11-15 FG, 2-2 FT) while adding five rebounds and five assists over 35 minutes Friday against the Clippers.

EDGE Analysis

Monroe also posted two steals and a blocked shot. He has really stepped up his play since Jabari Parker (knee) suffered a season-ending injury, emerging as a must-start option across most formats. Monroe is averaging 13.6 points per game since January 1.

Monroe managed 14 points (5-13 FG, 4-5 FT), eight rebounds, three assists, three steals, and two blocks in 34 minutes during Sunday's 100-96 win against the Suns.

EDGE Analysis

Monroe struggled against a stingy Jazz frontcout on Friday, but bounced back with a strong effort versus the lowly Suns. Monroe appeared to be a shell of his former self over the first couple months of 2016-17, but he has been quite solid during January and February. As long as the Bucks remain relevant in the race for a playoff spot, expect Monroe to continue receiving plenty of minutes off the bench behind rookie Thon Maker.

Monroe scored 25 points (12-16 FG, 1-2 FT) while adding eight rebounds, three assists and two steals across 34 minutes in Wednesday's 129-125 victory over the Nets.

EDGE Analysis

Although he came off the bench, Monroe had plenty of time to put together a big game against a weak opponent. He now has back-to-back games of 25 points, shooting over 67 percent in the past two games. His minutes may fluctuate with a deep Bucks team, but when he's on the floor, he's efficient and piles up rebounds. He'll face Rudy Gobert and Derrick Favors in the post after the all-star break when the Bucks visit the Jazz.

Monroe posted 25 points (12-15 FG, 1-1 FT), 13 rebounds, three steals and two assists across 31 minutes during a 102-89 win over the Pistons on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Monroe exploded off the bench against his former team for his highest point total since Jan. 25 as his 25 points marked a team high. Monday's game also marked his first double-double of February. His production has tended to fluctuate from game to game lately, but the team will likely need Monroe's offensive prowess for the rest of the season with Jabari Parker (knee) out for the year.
