Monroe poured in 28 points (11-17 FG, 6-7 FT), nine rebounds, two assists and a steal in 29 minutes off the bench Wednesday during a 114-109 loss to Philadelphia.

EDGE Analysis

Monroe put his unique combination of brute force and Charmin-soft touch around the rim on display against a Sixers team missing Joel Embiid (knee). He was undeniable around the rim, and set hard screens both on and off the ball. Fantasy owners should temper their expectations, however. This game would have looked a lot different with Joel Embiid, Philadelphia's best player on both ends, on the court.

Monroe scored 17 points (7-13 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 3-4 FT) to go along with 10 rebounds, three steals and one assist across 27 minutes during Monday's 127-114 win over the Rockets.

EDGE Analysis

Operating in his typical reserve role, Monroe provided a spark off the bench, delivering his third double-double of the month and his first in the last six games. His playing time and production have been spotty at times due to the depth in front of him in the starting unit, but as Milwaukee's most talented big man, Monroe should continue to fill a niche for the club.

Monroe managed 12 points (5-12 FG, 2-2 FT), 12 rebounds, four steals, three assists, and one block in 33 minutes during the Bucks' 107-101 loss to the Wizards on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Monroe turned in his eighth double-double of the season and equaled his career high in steals, making it the 19th time the 26-year-old center has recorded four swipes. Though Monroe is earning a career low in minutes and rebounds per game, he is matching his career-best average in steals with 1.3 per night.

Monroe put up 19 points (6-11 FG, 7-10 FT), seven rebounds, four assists, two steals and a block in 27 minutes Friday during a 116-111 loss to the Knicks.

EDGE Analysis

After falling hard out of coach Jason Kidd's rotation earlier in the season, Monroe has bounced back with a vengeance and carved out a solid spot as Milwaukee's go-to bench scorer. Monroe has now scored 15-plus points in four straight games, and tallied at least 27 minutes in each of those games. He's back to bullying bigs around the rim with his powerful frame and soft touch. If any fantasy owners in deeper leagues are in need of a minor scoring punch, Monroe would be a decent gamble.

Monroe recorded 18 points (7-10 FG, 4-10 FT), nine rebounds, four assists, three steals and one block across 31 minutes off the bench in Wednesday's 105-104 win over the Knicks.

EDGE Analysis

Monroe has provided an occasionally potent scoring punch off the bench for the Bucks this season, but never more so than tonight. His 18 points were a season high and could have been higher had he not struggled from the free throw line. At 26.6 minutes per game over his last five, Monroe's workload is trending up and the big man is taking advantage. He's averaging 14 points on 58.5 percent from the field in that span.

Monroe recorded 14 points (7-10 FG, 0-1 FT), six assists, five rebounds, two steals and a block across 27 minutes off the bench in a 119-94 win over the Pistons on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Monroe has had a very productive run over his last three games, averaging 14 points on 70.4 percent from the field in over 23 minutes per game. Still, somewhat inconsistent minutes and even more inconsistent play leaves Monroe on the fringes of fantasy relevance for the time being.

Monroe compiled 14 points (6-13 FG, 2-2 FT), six rebounds, five assists and two steals across 23 minutes in Friday's 114-110 loss to the Hawks.

EDGE Analysis

Monroe had dropped to third on the depth chart at center and even didn't play in a Nov. 17 game in a coach's decision, but his role has since seemed to stabilize as the main backup to starter John Henson. While Monroe is still delivering the worst numbers of his career, his averages of 10.9 points (on 55.4% shooting), 7.4 rebounds, 2.1 assists and 1.6 steals in 21.3 minutes per game are good enough for him to yield value for deep-league owners. Monroe would undoubtedly benefit from a trade to a center-needy team, but there's been little momentum made by the Bucks on that front.

Monroe produced 14 points (6-8 FG, 2-2 FT), six rebounds, four assists, two steals and one block across 26 minutes in Tuesday's 118-101 win over the Cavaliers.

EDGE Analysis

Monroe's playing time seems to be on the upward trend after it seemed just a week earlier that he would be phased out of coach Jason Kidd's rotation, as he's seen at least 17 minutes in each of the last three games. He actually outpaced starter John Henson (21 minutes) in playing time Tuesday, but that's a hardly a guarantee that he'll stick at level in the future. Monroe still remains holding in mid-sized or deeper leagues thanks to the upside he carries as a scorer and rebounder, though owners shouldn't expect him to consistently challenge for double-doubles like he has in the past while he remains locked in a bench role.

Monroe contributed 11 points (4-6 FG, 3-4 FT), seven rebounds, one assist and one steal in 17 minutes during Sunday's win over Orlando.

EDGE Analysis

Following a four game stretch in which Monroe only managed 17 total minutes of court time, the 26-year-old has now played over 17 minutes in each of the Bucks' last two contests. Between the pair, he shot 8-for-14 from the field and grabbed 17 rebounds. Monroe should continue to be a boom or bust player based on how much playing time he sees each game.

Monroe recorded a DNP - Coaches Decision in Thursday's loss to the Heat.

EDGE Analysis

There is no indication anything is wrong with Monroe physically at the moment, but there is no clear explanation as to why he did not take the court Thursday. The big man logged a relatively consistent 21.5 minutes through the Bucks first nine games in a reserve role before playing just seven in the Bucks loss to the Hawks on Wednesday. Following no time on the court in Thursday's ugly loss to the Heat, it is unclear if Monroe is in coach Jason Kidd's doghouse, if he is dealing with an undisclosed injury, or if Kidd simply did not like the matchups in their back-to-back set. Expect an update on his status when more information becomes available.
