  • Kings' Malik Monk: Pops for 20 in Washington

    Monk ended with 20 points (6-13 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 7-7 FT), one rebound, four assists, one block and one steal in 29 minutes off the bench during Thursday's 109-102 loss to the Wizards.

    The 26-year-old guard struggled to find his shot from the outside but still reached 20 points for the sixth time in 11 March contests. Monk is averaging 20.9 points, 5.4 assists, 4.0 boards and 2.2 threes on the month as he continues to build a strong case for the NBA's Sixth Man of the Year Award.

  • Kings' Malik Monk: Struggles from deep Wednesday

    Monk closed Wednesday's 123-89 win over the Raptors with 17 points (6-12 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 4-4 FT), two rebounds, two assists and one steal over 20 minutes.

    Monk ended with a solid stat line across the board, but the sharpshooter had a rough outing from deep, making just one of his seven attempts from beyond the arc. There's a strong chance this was nothing more than an off night for Monk, as he's averaging 21.0 points per game while coming off the bench since the beginning of March.

  • Kings' Malik Monk: Goes for 28 points off bench

    Monk amassed 28 points (10-19 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 7-7 FT), six rebounds and six assists over 39 minutes during Monday's 121-111 overtime win over the Grizzlies.

    Monk struggled from three-point range, but that didn't stop him from posting another impressive stat line, with the veteran sharpshooter reaching the 20-point mark in three of his last five appearances. One of the most productive second-unit scorers in The Association, Monk holds substantial value in most formats due to his scoring prowess and important role in the Kings' rotation. He's averaging 21.4 points, 5.9 assists and 4.6 rebounds per game since the beginning of March.

  • Kings' Malik Monk: Available to return

    Monk (neck strain) briefly exited Wednesday's game against the Lakers during the first half, but he will be available for the second half, Brenden Nunes of KHTK Sactown Sports 1140 reports.

    Monk made a quick trip to the locker room after being tied up with Anthony Davis during a fastbreak but quickly returned to the Kings' bench. He'll be available to play in the closing two periods.

  • Kings' Malik Monk: Pours in 25 points from bench

    Monk provided 25 points (9-19 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 4-5 FT), five rebounds and five assists in 28 minutes during Tuesday's 129-94 victory over the Bucks.

    Monk added to his resume for Sixth Man of the Year with another brilliant performance. Keegan Murray's (ankle) injury required an extra push from the bench, but Monk delivers the goods nightly. Monk and De'Aaron Fox would probably not fare as well if they were both in the first unit, and the team has implemented Monk's' role perfectly. He's versatile enough to cover three positions as a reserve.

  • Kings' Malik Monk: Goes for 20 points Sunday

    Monk racked up 20 points (8-16 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, five assists and two steals across 27 minutes during Sunday's 112-104 loss to the Rockets.

    Monk struggled with his outside shot and made just two of his eight three-point attempts, but he still posted a strong stat line while reaching the 20-point mark for the third time over his last five appearances. Monk is averaging 22.8 points per game since the beginning of March and has provided a massive boost to the Kings' second unit while being a solid fantasy option for managers who decided to stick with him when things weren't going so well.

  • Kings' Malik Monk: Teases triple-double off bench

    Monk finished Thursday's 131-129 win over the Spurs with 18 points (6-17 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 4-4 FT), seven rebounds, nine assists, one block and one steal across 30 minutes off the bench.

    The 26-year-old wing did commit six turnovers, but it was still a very impressive performance as Monk led the Kings' second unit in scoring and rebounding while tying Domantas Sabonis for the team lead in assists. Monk's produced a career-high 5.3 assists a game this season, and his overall numbers have spiked since the beginning of February -- he's averaging 19.5 points, 5.4 assists, 3.9 boards, 2.1 threes and 0.8 steals over the last 16 games.

  • Kings' Malik Monk: Pours in 26 points

    Monk produced 26 points (10-19 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 3-3 FT), five rebounds, eight assists and two steals over 32 minutes during Wednesday's 130-120 win over the Lakers.

    The votes for Monk to be Sixth Man of the Year should be numerous as he continues to ball out with the Kings' second unit. He played 32 minutes in the contest, holding teammate Kevin Huerter to only two points in 12 minutes on the floor. Monk is also a key pivot when Harrison Barnes takes a seat, allowing for a full game's worth of production.

  • Kings' Malik Monk: Erupts for season-high 39

    Monk produced 39 points (16-29 FG, 5-8 3Pt, 2-4 FT), four rebounds, four assists and one steal over 33 minutes off the bench during Friday's 124-120 overtime victory over Minnesota.

    After a fairly quiet first half, Monk poured in 35 of his points after halftime as he took over a Kings backcourt that was missing De'Aaron Fox (knee) for a second straight game. It was the best performance of the season for Monk, but he's been on an impressive roll since the beginning of February. Over the last 13 games, the 26-year-old guard has scored more than 20 points eight times, averaging 19.8 points, 4.8 assists, 3.6 boards and 2.0 threes in 28.1 minutes a contest while shooting 50.0 percent from the floor.

  • Kings' Malik Monk: Cold from deep

    Monk logged eight points (4-10 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 0-2 FT), two rebounds, seven assists and two steals over 21 minutes during Monday's 121-110 loss to the Heat. He had only one turnover as well.

    Monk failed to hit a three for the third time in his past five games, continuing a slump in which he is connecting on just 13.0 percent of 4.6 threes over that span. Sacramento travels to Denver on Wednesday, and Monk delivered just six points on 2-for-11 shooting in his last contest at the Nuggets.

  • Kings' Malik Monk: Boosts offense off bench in loss

    Monk produced 22 points (9-16 FG, 0-5 3Pt, 4-4 FT), four rebounds, six assists, one block and one steal in 33 minutes during Tuesday's 130-125 loss to the Suns.

    Monk led all Kings bench players in scoring to go along with a half-dozen assists and a quartet of rebounds to spark Sacramento's second unit in a losing effort. Monk has surpassed the 20-point mark in 18 contests this season, including in six of his last seven games.

  • Kings' Malik Monk: Leads team with 23 points

    Monk finished with 23 points (9-13 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), one rebound, two assists, one block and one steal over 20 minutes during Friday's 135-106 win over the Nuggets.

    Monk's total was impressive when you consider his 20 minutes of court time, which was over five minutes less than his seasonal average. If backcourt size was a non-issue, Monk would have likely overtaken Kevin Huerter in the starting lineup weeks ago, but Huerter's 6-foot-7 frame gives the team a better defensive set despite his recent shooting struggles. Monk's sixth-man role has been critical to the team's success, and he'll try to extend his streak of double-digit scoring totals Sunday against the Thunder.

  • Kings' Malik Monk: Collects 10 assists in loss

    Monk closed Wednesday's 133-120 loss to the Pistons with 23 points (10-21 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 1-1 FT), five rebounds, 10 assists and two blocks across 34 minutes.

    Monk excelled on a night where Sacramento's starting backcourt lacked much-needed firepower, and his totals kept alive a significant upward trend over the past four games. Monk suffered through seven single-digit scoring totals over the past month, but his shot volume has shot up since the beginning of February. If he can keep this streak going, he'll improve his standing among the other excellent sixth men in the conference.

  • Kings' Malik Monk: All-around showing to lead bench

    Monk contributed 22 points (7-14 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 6-7 FT), five rebounds, seven assists and one block across 34 minutes during Saturday's 123-115 victory over the Bulls.

    Monk led all bench players in Saturday's contest in scoring, rebounds and assists while connecting on a pair of threes and concluding as one of two Kings players with 20 or more points in a winning effort. Monk has posted 20 or more points in two straight outings while notching at least five rebounds and five assists in five games.

  • Kings' Malik Monk: Rough night Monday

    Monk finished with three points (1-6 FG, 1-4 3Pt), three rebounds, five assists and one steal across 20 minutes during Monday's 103-94 victory over the Grizzlies.

    Monk managed just three points in the win, continuing his recent struggles. He has now scored fewer than 10 points in four of the past five games, a far cry from what he was putting up only a month ago. He has been outside the top 300 over the past two weeks, making him a tough player to hold in standard formats.

  • Kings' Malik Monk: Shooting woes surface Tuesday

    Monk registered 13 points (5-16 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 1-1 FT), three rebounds, eight assists and one block across 29 minutes during Tuesday's 119-117 loss to Phoenix.

    Monk might have scored in double digits for the fifth game in a row, which is always useful considering his bench role, but his upside becomes limited when he struggles from the field as much as he did Tuesday. Monk delivers most of his value through his shooting and scoring prowess, so on that note, an improvement over his 41.8 percent mark from the field since the start of January could be useful for fantasy managers.

  • Kings' Malik Monk: Erupts for 28 points

    Monk chipped in 28 points (9-21 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 6-10 FT), seven rebounds and seven assists over 36 minutes during Sunday's 143-142 overtime loss to the Bucks.

    Keegan Murray left this game with a hip contusion and wasn't able to return, so Monk stepped up in a big way off the bench. This was his 12th game of the season with at least 20 points, and his second-highest scoring game of the campaign. He's been hot in January with averages of 18.4 points, 6.1 assists, 2.8 rebounds and 2.6 three-pointers, and he's been generating buzz as a Sixth Man of the Year contender.
