Monk totaled five points (2-14 FG, 1-3 3Pt), seven rebounds and seven assists in 29 minutes in Monday's 111-109 loss to the Pacers.

EDGE Analysis

Monk struggled mightily from the field Monday, shooting just 14.2 percent on 14 shots. He made an impact on the glass and tallied seven assists, but his shooting woes and five turnovers were major factors in the Kings' narrow defeat. The 27-year-old has slid to the bench in the team's past three outings since returning from his three-game absence due to illness, averaging 10.0 points, 4.0 rebounds, and 3.7 assists on 37.5 percent shooting.

Monk accumulated nine points (4-9 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 0-2 FT), two rebounds and two assists across 23 minutes during Saturday's 121-91 loss to the Magic.

EDGE Analysis

Monk came off the bench in his second straight game since returning from an illness, and his production has taken a hit during this time. It's unclear if the Kings plan on moving the veteran guard back into the starting lineup once he's fully back up to speed, with Monk logging just 17 and 23 minutes in his past two outings, respectively. Fantasy managers should stay patient with Monk, who's still averaging a solid 18.4 points, 5.0 assists, 3.4 rebounds, 0.7 steals and 2.3 three-pointers in 31.1 minutes through 10 games this month.

Monk racked up 16 points (6-9 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds and two assists across 17 minutes during Thursday's 128-107 victory over the Trail Blazers.

EDGE Analysis

Monk, who returned from a three-game absence due to an illness, was deployed off the bench and saw limited run Thursday. He looked sharp, obviously, and could potentially see his usual workload Saturday against the Magic with the illness seemingly behind him.

Monk isn't in the starting lineup for Thursday's game against Portland, Jason Anderson of The Sacramento Bee reports.

EDGE Analysis

Monk was originally listed in the starting five leading up to Thursday's clash, but the team announced right before tipoff that Keon Ellis would draw the start at point guard. This could be an effort to ease Monk back into play after missing the last three games with an illness, though Sacramento hasn't commented on whether the 27-year-old will be on a minute restriction.

Monk (illness) will play Thursday against the Trail Blazers, Frankie Cartoscelli of KHTK Sactown Sports 1140 reports.

EDGE Analysis

Monk will make his return following a three-game absence due to illness. He'd been playing well before feeling under the weather, averaging 25.5 points, 4.5 rebounds, 6.3 assists, 1.0 steals and 1.0 blocks in his last four appearances.

Monk (illness) is questionable for Thursday's game against the Trail Blazers, Jason Anderson of The Sacramento Bee reports.

EDGE Analysis

Monk has been tabbed questionable for a third straight game due to illness. Monk has been downgraded to out in each of the first two contests. If the 26-year-old guard is forced to miss a fourth consecutive game, expect Keon Ellis to remain in the starting lineup.

Monk (illness) won't play in Tuesday's game versus the Thunder.

EDGE Analysis

Monk will miss his third straight contest Tuesday after being downgraded from questionable to out due to an illness. Keon Ellis will likely draw another start in his absence. Monk's next chance to suit up is Thursday's matchup with Portland.

Monk (illness) is listed as questionable for Tuesday's game against the Thunder.

EDGE Analysis

Monk has missed the last two games while battling an illness. If the veteran guard can't play Tuesday, Sacramento will likely turn to Keon Ellis, Devin Carter (illness) and Markelle Fultz to fill minutes at point guard.

Monk (illness) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Celtics, Sean Cunningham of Fox 40 Sacramento reports.

EDGE Analysis

Monday will be the second straight game that Monk will miss as he battles through an illness, and he'll look to recover enough to return Tuesday against the Thunder. Keon Ellis and Markelle Fultz should see a bump in playing time and responsibilities against the defending NBA champions due to Monk's absence.

Monk (illness) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against Boston.

EDGE Analysis

Monk is in jeopardy of missing his second consecutive contest due to an illness. With Devin Carter also listed as questionable due to an illness, Markelle Fultz and Keon Ellis could receive an uptick in playing time against the Celtics. Over his last five appearances, Monk has averaged 21.8 points, 6.2 assists, 4.4 rebounds, 2.6 three-pointers, 1.2 steals and 1.0 blocks across 36.6 minutes per contest.
