Back in the rotation after sitting out Sunday’s loss to the Nets, Monk played 29 minutes off the bench in Toronto. The final stat line was a solid one, and the veteran guard is capable of providing good value in the Kings’ final two games of Week 23. As long as Monk is hitting the high-20s in minutes, he’s worth rostering in 14-team leagues, and some 12-team formats as well.

Sunday’s game is the second in as many days for the Kings, who lost to the Hawks on Saturday. Monk started and played 27 minutes in that contest; his absence could free up a place in the starting lineup for Daeqwon Plowden. With DeMar DeRozan also out, rolling the dice on Plowden in deep leagues would not be a bad idea.

Monk’s seven assists on Saturday made it five consecutive games in which he’s recorded five or more. Add in the two steals, and this was a solid showing for the veteran guard, even if his scoring was limited. The Kings play once more in Week 22, as they visit the Nets on Sunday.

Monk made his first of the season after scoring 32 points in Sunday’s win. While he didn’t replicate that scoring production, he was able to facilitate well. Monk set a new career high for assists, and he did it without turning the ball over. Monk has been a frustrating player to roster this year, but he’s clearly still capable of producing at a high level. He’ll look to continue to shine during silly season.

Monk will get his first start of the season for the shorthanded Kings. Baldwin, who is currently one a two-way deal for Sacramento, will also be making his first start of the season, while Carter will return to the starting unit. Nique Clifford, Russell Westbrook and Precious Achiuwa are all sidelined, opening up the starting spots.

With no Russell Westbrook and Killian Hayes (toe) and Nique Clifford (ankle) leaving Sunday’s game due to injuries, there was room for Monk to do what he’s capable of offensively. The Kings’ guard recorded his second 30-point stat line in four appearances, shooting 7-of-13 from beyond the arc. Add in the six assists, and Sunday was a good day to have Monk on a fantasy roster.

Monk exited Thursday’s loss to the 76ers with a right shoulder injury, with the veteran guard playing 16 minutes. He is not on Sunday’s injury report, which indicates that Monk is available. Daeqwon Plowden, who’s questionable for a sore foot, may lose out on playing time if he’s able to go.

Monk appeared to injure his right shoulder on a first-half foul at the hands of Philadelphia’s Andre Drummond. He played 16 minutes before being ruled out for the night, finishing with four points, one rebound and five assists. Daeqwon Plowden, who started Thursday’s game for Nique Clifford, could see his minutes increase due to the Kings’ many injuries.

Monk will return after a four-game absence, and he should pick up some of the backcourt slack while Nique Clifford (hamstring) is sidelined. Daeqwon Plowden could see fewer minutes with Monk back in action.

Monk will miss a fourth straight game, which means Daeqwon Plowden should continue to play extended minutes off the bench, where he has averaged 12.7 points, 1.7 seals and 2.7 triples with Monk sidelined.

Monk will miss a second straight game with a sore right ankle. For Wednesday’s loss ot the Hornets, Daeqwon Plowden played 30 minutes off the bench, and he may be in line for a similar workload against the Clippers. At best, Plowden is worth a look in extremely deep redraft leagues.

Monk was excellent off the bench on Sunday as he had 30 points and five assists in the win over the Bulls. The 30 points were a season-high for the 28-year-old guard. Monk is only usable in deep-league fantasy formats.

Monk played 28 minutes off the bench, getting most of the backup point guard minutes in Saturday’s defeat. To his credit, he played well, committing just one turnover and shooting 50 percent from the field. However, it’s fair to wonder if Monk will get point guard minutes at Devin Carter’s expense the rest of the season. The 2024 first-round pick played just six minutes against the Spurs after averaging nearly 27 per over Sacramento’s prior six games. For the sake of the Kings’ rebuild, Carter should play more over the final two months of the season. But that may not be head coach Doug Christie’s opinion.

Having missed the Kings’ final two games before the All-Star break, Monk will be available on Thursday. He should take on his usual role as the second unit’s top offensive option in the short term. However, Monk’s playing time could decrease as the Kings look to develop Devin Carter while also improving their draft lottery odds.

Wednesday’s game will be the third that Monk has missed due to illness. Devin Carter has picked up additional rotation minutes in Monk’s absence while also benefiting from the Kings’ decision to trade Dennis Schröder and Keon Ellis to the Cavaliers.

Monk will miss a second consecutive game due to illness. His absence on Saturday resulted in more minutes for Devin Carter, who logged 27 and scored 18 points. While he isn’t worth streaming in this spot, Carter is a player who could have added fantasy value after the All-Star break.

After scoring 18 points in Friday’s loss to the Clippers, Monk will not play against the Cavaliers. His absence frees up opportunities for some of the Kings’ reserves, especially with Zach LaVine and De’Andre Hunter also out. Nique Clifford, Devin Carter and Daeqwon Plowden should play plenty, with the former likely moving into the starting lineup.

Monk was consistent as a scorer throughout Friday’s contest, but his biggest moments came in the third and fourth quarters, when his three-point shooting put the Kings on a run and at one point gave them a fourth-quarter lead. All of the veteran combo-guard’s scoring came from deep in this game, as he finished with at least six triples for the third time this season. Monk appears to be firmly back in the nightly rotation following a stretch earlier in the season in which he saw DNP’s. He’s capable of big nights, but isn’t someone fantasy managers should get excited about.

Monk is good to go after being listed as questionable for Sunday’s game. With Dennis Schröder and Keon Ellis no longer in the picture, and Russell Westbrook out due to injury, Monk should feature within the Kings’ backcourt rotation. He may put up a nice stat line if the ankle doesn’t flare up.

Monk returned to the Kings’ rotation on Friday after missing two games with a sore right ankle, playing 23 minutes in a loss to the Celtics. Since Sacramento was still without Russell Westbrook, there was room in the rotation for Keon Ellis, who logged 20 minutes. If Monk and Westbrook can’t play on Sunday, Ellis’ fantasy ceiling will be raised.

Monk has missed the Kings’ last two games with a sore right ankle, resulting in Keon Ellis moving into the rotation. However, head coach Doug Christie has usually only had one of the wings in his bench rotation. Russell Westbrook being out may keep Ellis in the rotation, but his playing time will likely decrease with Monk available.

Monk will miss a second straight game following an early exit on Sunday. Keon Ellis saw a bump in minutes with Monk sidelined, though he wasn’t productive in those minutes. Ellis has been a strong source of steals in the past, but based on the last two games, he is a risky streaming option.
