Malik Monk Fantasy Stats

Sacramento Kings guard Malik Monk (ankle) is listed as probable for Friday's matchup against the Los Angeles Clippers. Monk has been dealing with left ankle soreness throughout training camp and missed Wednesday's regular-season opener. He averaged 12.5 points, 3.0 assists, and 2.0 three-pointers across 62 games last campaign. With Ben Simmons (Achilles) out for the season, Sacramento's backcourt depth is already being tested, so Monk's return could be a big boost. If he stays healthy, the 28-year-old could provide solid fantasy value with his scoring and three-point shooting.

Sacramento Kings guard Malik Monk (ankle) has been ruled out for Wednesday's season opener against the Los Angeles Clippers, according to Sean Cunningham. Monk did not appear during the preseason and has been managing left ankle soreness throughout training camp. He averaged 12.5 points, 3.0 assists, and 2.0 three-pointers across 62 games last season. With Ben Simmons (Achilles) also out for the season, Sacramento's backcourt depth is already being tested. Nique Clifford and Emanuel Sharp should pick up additional minutes, with Clifford carrying the stronger fantasy outlook after averaging 8.6 points and 3.8 rebounds as a rookie.

Sacramento Kings guard Malik Monk (personal) has been listed as out for Friday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans. On the initial injury report, Monk was listed as questionable due to a right shoulder injury that has been bothering him lately. However, he has been ultimately ruled out for Friday's game for personal reasons. Devin Carter, Killian Hayes, and Daeqwon Plowden may all receive more playing time due to Monk's absence. His exit from the lineup also creates more offensive opportunities for Nique Clifford, though he has gone cold recently.

Sacramento Kings guard Malik Monk (shoulder) is not listed on the injury report for Wednesday's contest against the Toronto Raptors. A shoulder issue kept Monk sidelined on Sunday when the Kings faced Brooklyn. Monk had a pair of 30-point efforts last month, but he has recently acted more as a playmaker. The 28-year-old has averaged 7.4 assists across his last three appearances, adding 13.2 points in 27.0 minutes per game. On Wednesday, Monk will eat into the minutes of Daeqwon Plowden, DaQuan Jeffries, and Killian Hayes.

Sacramento Kings guard Malik Monk (shoulder) will sit out Sunday's matchup with the Brooklyn Nets. He will exit the lineup due to a shoulder contusion after having 10 points and seven assists in 27 minutes on Saturday against Atlanta. Sacramento will also roll without DeMar DeRozan (hamstring), creating two openings in the starting lineup. Nique Clifford and Daeqwon Plowden are the leading candidates to join the first unit. Monk's absence should also give Devin Carter and DaQuan Jeffries more playing time.

Sacramento Kings guard Malik Monk will move into the starting five ahead of Saturday's game against the Atlanta Hawks. Fellow guard Nique Clifford (foot) is available following a two-game absence. However, the Kings have elected to ease him back into action and start Monk on Saturday. Possibly, Clifford is going to be limited, but the team hasn't said anything about a minutes limit. Monk should play his normal role in the rotation on Saturday. This season, Monk is averaging 12.7 points, 1.9 rebounds, and 3.0 assists across 22.3 minutes per game. The veteran guard has played 30 minutes or more over the last three games, but could see a reduced role with Clifford back in the mix. Regardless, Monk is worth starting in most 12-team fantasy leagues.

Sacramento Kings guard Malik Monk (shoulder) will not return to Thursday's game against the 76ers after suffering a shoulder injury in the first half, adding to Sacramento's growing list of absences during the fantasy playoffs. Monk finished with four points, five assists, and one rebound in 16 minutes after recently returning from a four-game ankle absence. Daeqwon Plowden could stay on the deep-league streaming radar after putting up 20 points with four three-pointers in 32 minutes as a starter. Nique Clifford (hamstring) may also see added usage if healthy, while Russell Westbrook and DeMar DeRozan should continue handling most of the offensive workload.

Sacramento Kings guard Malik Monk (ankle) is slated to suit up against the Philadelphia 76ers on Thursday. He will return to action after missing four straight games due to a right ankle sprain. Monk is expected to be assigned a heavy workload in his return, with Nique Clifford (hamstring) sidelined. The 28-year-old is averaging 12.6 points, 2.7 assists and 2.0 three-pointers per contest across 53 outings this campaign.

Sacramento Kings guard Malik Monk (ankle) still isn't fully healthy and remains on the injury report as questionable ahead of Thursday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. He is having trouble recovering from a right ankle sprain. Monk's absence from the rotation has given Killian Hayes, Daeqwon Plowden, and Doug McDermott consistent roles. From a fantasy perspective, Plowden has made the biggest impact, scoring 10-plus points in six straight games and recording multiple steals in four of the last five.

Sacramento Kings guard Malik Monk (ankle) will miss Tuesday's game against the Spurs, marking his fourth straight absence due to a right ankle sprain. Daeqwon Plowden should continue seeing an extended run after logging 10 points, four rebounds, two assists, and two steals in 31 minutes last game, making him a viable deep-league streamer for steals and threes. Russell Westbrook and DeMar DeRozan should continue handling most of the backcourt usage, while Nique Clifford could also maintain a stable role.
