Monk had 11 points (4-10 FG, 3-9 3Pt), two rebounds, two assists and one steal in 19 minutes during Sunday's 125-101 loss to the Lakers.

EDGE Analysis

While Monk hit double digits in scoring, his playing time remains discouraging. The veteran guard has averaged 7.3 points, 1.5 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 1.0 steals in 14.3 minutes per contest across his previous four games, and it wouldn't be shocking if the Kings explored trade options for Monk at the deadline.

Monk posted two points (1-1 FG, 0-2 FT) across five minutes during Sunday's 125-124 overtime win over the Rockets.

EDGE Analysis

After picking up two straight DNP-CD's, Monk finally got off the bench in Sunday's win. With Nique Clifford becoming more involved for the Kings, Monk appears to be the odd man out.

Monk (coach's decision) went unused in Saturday's 98-93 loss to Portland.

EDGE Analysis

Monk has now been held out of the Sacramento rotation for two consecutive games, though head coach Doug Christie noted after the game that the arrangement is "not necessarily permanent," adding that the team's priority is giving minute to the group on the floor "plays extremely hard," per Brenden Nunes of KHTK Sactown Sports 1140. Monk had been averaging 24 minutes per game this season before his unexpected absences the past two contests. Nique Clifford, Keon Ellis and Dennis Schroder have handled most of the reserve minutes at guard and on the wing with Monk going unused.

Monk supplied 18 points (5-11 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 5-6 FT), four rebounds, five assists and one steal over 30 minutes during Thursday's 136-105 loss to the Nuggets.

EDGE Analysis

Monk went scoreless across nine minutes off the bench in the loss to the Pacers on Monday, but he bounced back Thursday and delivered another game with 15 or more points. It was the fourth time he achieved this feat in the last seven games, but he's had three games with five or fewer points in that stretch. The inconsistencies as a scorer and the bench role limit Monk's upside, but he's still a player worth having rostered in most leagues -- and particularly category-based formats where he can supply decent three-point shooting numbers.

Monk closed with zero points (0-5 FG, 0-2 3Pt), four rebounds and one assist over nine minutes during Monday's 116-105 loss to the Pacers.

EDGE Analysis

Monk failed to score for just the second time this season, continuing what has been a frustrating campaign. Fresh off back-to-back 20+-point performances, Monk has since scored three and zero points. The Sacramento rotation is impossible to project at this point, making Monk a hard player to trust in standard fantasy leagues.

Monk recorded 25 points (10-19 FG, 5-8 3Pt), five assists, three rebounds and two steals in 30 minutes during Wednesday's 121-95 loss to the Rockets.

EDGE Analysis

Monk notched a new season high in points in the blowout loss, and he saw some increased opportunity to close the game with DeMar DeRozan, Zach LaVine and Russell Westbrook all getting benched down the stretch. Monk has been trending up as of late, scoring 20-plus in three of his past five games.

Monk (shoulder) is available for Wednesday's game in Houston.

EDGE Analysis

Monk was being listed as probable for Wednesday night's game, so there was never much doubt about his status. Monk is averaging 13.2 points, 2.2 assists and 1.8 three-pointers on the season.

Monk (shoulder) is probable for Wednesday's game against Houston.

EDGE Analysis

Monk missed practice Monday due to shoulder soreness, but he's still in line to play Wednesday. The veteran guard has averaged 13.2 points, 2.2 assists and 1.9 rebounds in 24.3 minutes per tilt across 18 games this season, shooting 40.2 percent from three-point land.

Monk did not practice Monday due to shoulder soreness, Brenden Nunes of KHTK Sactown Sports 1140 reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Kings are off until Wednesday, and the team doesn't expect the guard to miss any time. Essentially, the Kings are being cautious here. Monk produced 21 points (8-17 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 4-5 FT), six rebounds, six assists, two blocks and two steals across 34 minutes off the bench during Sunday's 115-107 loss to Memphis.

Monk racked up 21 points (8-17 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 4-5 FT), six rebounds, six assists, two blocks and two steals across 34 minutes off the bench during Sunday's 115-107 loss to Memphis.

EDGE Analysis

It's the fourth time this season, and the second time in the last four games, that Monk has produced at least 20 points. The 34 minutes also represented his biggest workload of the season, as the 27-year-old guard stepped up in the absence of Dennis Schroder (hip). Monk has struggled to provide consistent offense from the second unit this season, but he's scored in double digits in six of the last eight games, averaging 13.6 points, 2.5 boards, 2.1 assists, 1.6 threes and 1.5 combined steals and blocks in 24.9 minutes over that stretch.
