Monk registered 23 points (9-15 FG, 5-9 3Pt), one rebound and two assists over 26 minutes during Sunday's 117-110 loss to the Trail Blazers.

EDGE Analysis

Monk tied Russell Westbrook for the team lead in scoring, but it wasn't enough firepower to secure the victory. Monk has been hit or miss from beyond the arc lately, as he drilled seven triples Jan. 12 against the Lakers on nine attempts, but then went 0-for-6 over his next two appearances, followed by five threes Sunday.

Monk posted 26 points (9-15 FG, 7-9 3Pt, 1-1 FT), one rebound, eight assists and one steal across 32 minutes during Monday's 124-112 win over the Lakers.

EDGE Analysis

Monk recorded his sixth game of the campaign with at least 20 points and set a new season-high mark with 26 on the night. It's no secret that Monk is on the trade block, as the Kings seem ready to pivot to a rebuild. With a modest contract and a proven resume as a scorer and playmaker, Monk is likely to have a decent market.

Monk closed Sunday's 111-98 win over the Rockets with 15 points (6-12 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 1-1 FT), four rebounds, three assists and one block across 26 minutes.

EDGE Analysis

With Dennis Schroder (suspension) sidelined, Monk took on a larger role in the offense, recording 26 minutes during the victory. Russell Westbrook's resurgence and the addition of Schroder have torpedoed any fantasy value Monk had previously, and his outlier performance won't change that. Monk would need a trade or a string of Sacramento injuries to make a significant difference.

Monk recorded eight points (4-10 FG, 0-4 3Pt), two rebounds and one assist in 19 minutes off the bench in Friday's 137-103 loss to the Warriors.

EDGE Analysis

Monk hadn't played in any of the Kings' previous three games due to coach's decision, but he re-emerged on the second unit Friday after head coach Doug Christie elected to drop Doug McDermott from the rotation and also chose to cut down Precious Achiuwa's playing time. Though he wasn't particularly productive during his time on the court, Monk could become a more consistent fixture in the rotation in the short term if the Kings intend to showcase him ahead of the Feb. 5 trade deadline.

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.
