Malik Monk Fantasy Stats

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.

Sacramento Kings guard Malik Monk (ankle) is questionable to play on Tuesday against the San Antonio Spurs. He may remain sidelined for a fourth consecutive game due to a right ankle sprain. With Monk out of the picture, Daeqwon Plowden has secured a regular role in the rotation, logging at least 30 minutes in five consecutive contests. He has offered steady production over that stretch, averaging 12.8 points, 4.4 rebounds, and 1.4 steals. Veteran Doug McDermott has also carved out a spot in the rotation, though his deployment as a three-point gunner has largely failed to pay off.

Sacramento Kings guard Malik Monk (ankle) will miss Sunday's game against the Jazz, marking his third straight absence as he continues to deal with ankle soreness. With Monk, Russell Westbrook (foot), and Devin Carter (calf) all unavailable, Killian Hayes and Nique Clifford should continue seeing backcourt minutes. Hayes remains a low-end fantasy streamer due to inconsistent production, while Clifford has been contributing across multiple categories despite inefficient shooting, including 11 points, four rebounds, four assists, and two steals in 35 minutes last game.

Sacramento Kings guard Malik Monk (ankle) is dealing with ankle soreness and may not be available when his team finishes their back-to-back in Texas with a game against the Mavericks. Monk only had seven points in 19 minutes on Wednesday, but had double-digit points in five straight before that. Russell Westbrook (thigh) and Keegan Murray (ankle) are already out, so if Monk joins them on the sidelines, Devin Carter and Killian Hayes will get plenty of run in the backcourt, while Nique Clifford, Precious Achiuwa, and Maxime Raynaud will have to carry more of the scoring load in the offense.

Sacramento Kings guard Malik Monk (illness) is available for Thursday's clash with the Orlando Magic. An illness kept the 28-year-old sidelined for four consecutive contests. Monk is averaging 12.4 points, 2.6 assists and 2.0 rebounds across 22.2 minutes in 43 games this season. With Zach LaVine (hand) and Domantas Sabonis (knee) out for the remainder of the season, Monk could absorb more offensive responsibility moving forward.
