Monroe scored 24 points (10-20 FG, 4-7 FT) to go along with 12 rebounds, four assists, a block and a steal in 36 minutes on Saturday in a win over the Hawks.

EDGE Analysis

Monroe had his second big performance since being lifted from the starting lineup. Bucks coach Jason Kidd is experimenting with a new lineup every day it seems, but this one is working as the team is 3-1 since Monroe went to the bench. The move hasn't changed anything with his minutes, so you shouldn't be concerned in that regard. It's just a tricky thing trying to figure out what goes on in the head of J-Kidd. As of now, Monroe is still a safe play.

Monroe scored 12 points (5-13 FG, 2-4 FT) to go along with nine rebounds, two steals and an assist in 33 minutes on Thursday in a win against the Wizards.

EDGE Analysis

Monroe came off the bench on Thursday for the second game in a row but didn't see as much success as his last game against the Celtics, where he had 29 points and 12 rebounds. Granted, a lot of centers have been hammering the Celtics down low, but Monroe was just mediocre tonight. The real disappointment is Bucks coach Jason Kidd, as he really can't seem to make up his mind each night with the rotation. Hopefully over the All-Star break, Kidd attends one of those spiritual enlightenment courses and realizes that Monroe should be his starting center.

Monroe will come off the bench again Thursday against Washington, Charles Gardner of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

EDGE Analysis

Head coach Jason Kidd told reporters that he intends to keep the same starting lineup he employed Tuesday that included Miles Plumlee starting in place of Monroe and O.J Mayo starting in place of Michael Carter-Williams. Both Monroe and Carter-Williams still played starter-level minutes and Monroe himself responded to his new role by posting 29 points and 12 rebounds in 30 minutes. Monroe may be a bench player in name Thursday, but he figures to see his usual allotment of minutes against the Wizards.

Monroe scored 29 points (13-21 FG, 3-6 FT) to go with 12 rebounds, three assists, two blocks, and a steal over 30 minutes in a 112-111 victory over the Celtics on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

So much for Monroe's value decreasing in a reserve role. Coming off the bench for the first time this season, the former Hoya posted a season-high offensive total in an impressive double-double. Monroe, whose clutch hook shot gave the Bucks a two-point advantage with only one second left in regulation, has now scored at least 20 points in seven of his last nine games. Look for Monroe to reclaim his starting role on Thursday against the Wizards.

Monroe will come off the bench Tuesday against the Celtics, Gary Washburn of the Boston Globe reports.

EDGE Analysis

Coach Jason Kidd is electing to start Miles Plumlee over Monroe, which hardly seems like a lineup that will last beyond the All-Star break. Nevertheless, Monroe's value will seemingly take a hit in the short term with limited opportunity to reach his season average of 30 minutes per game.

Monroe managed 24 points (11-16 FG, 2-3 FT), 12 rebounds, three assists, one steal, and one block in 35 minutes during the Bucks' 111-104 loss against the Kings on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Monroe has scored between 21-24 points in each of the last six games. He has 26 double-doubles on the season, 11 of which have come in 2016. The Moose is right on the fringe of averaging a double-double in his debut season with Milwaukee, averaging just under 17 points, 10 rebounds, 2.5 assists, one steal, and one block per game.

Monroe scored 24 points (7-14 FG, 10-11 FT) while adding five rebounds and a block in 34 minutes during Friday's loss to the Heat.

EDGE Analysis

It was his worst performance on the glass in the entire month of January, a surprising result given that Hassan Whiteside (oblique) was still sidelined for Miami and Monroe should have been able to out-muscle the remaining Heat frontcourt players. He'll try to get back to his double-digit rebounding ways Monday in Sacramento.

Monroe contributed 21 points (8-13 FG, 5-6 FT), seven rebounds and two assists over 25 minutes in Thursday's 103-83 loss to the Grizzlies.

EDGE Analysis

On a night where the rest of the offense was sluggish, Monroe responded with his fourth consecutive game with more than 20 points. He was solid on the glass once again as well, and has averaged 9.5 boards over that four-game span. After a somwhat uneven start to his Bucks tenure, Monroe appears to have hit his stride in Milwaukee and is contributing the same type of numbers that he regularly produced last season while in a Pistons uniform.

Monroe tallied 21 points (7-15 FG, 7-8 FT), 11 rebounds (five offensive), and two assists across 31 minutes in Tuesday's 107-100 win over the Magic.

EDGE Analysis

Monroe won the frontcourt battle with the Magic's Nikola Vucevic (16 points, 12 rebounds), though the Bucks center didn't do any rim protecting. With averages of 19.9 points, 10.8 rebounds, 2.1 assists, and 1.1 assists while shooting 54.4 percent from the floor over the last nine games, Monroe's fantasy value certainly seems to be trending up.

Monroe scored 22 points (8-13 FG, 6-6 FT) while adding 11 rebounds, two assists and a block in 30 minutes during Saturday's loss to the Pelicans.

EDGE Analysis

He's now posted seven double-doubles in his last eight games (missing the eighth by a single board) and 24 on the season, as Monroe continues to provide the Bucks with a solid frontcourt anchor, averaging 17.8 points, 10.7 rebounds, 0.9 blocks and 0.8 steals in 12 January contests.
