Sacramento Kings guard Malik Monk has firmly entered his name for Sixth Man of the Year. He's shooting a career-high field goal percentage and has posted his highest numbers in both points and assists per game. On Wednesday night against the Indiana Pacers, he finished with 20 points, four rebounds, six assists, and two steals on 6-for-9 shooting from the floor and 3-for-6 from three. For a player that had an ADP in the 12th round, his production has been outstanding in all fantasy formats.
Sacramento Kings shooting guard Malik Monk came off the pine to nearly outscore the Suns' bench all on his own in Monday's 122-117 loss, notching a season-high 30 points on 12-for-17 shooting. The Suns' bench combined for 32 points. Monk shot 2-for-5 from downtown and even got close to a double-double, handing out eight assists with three turnovers. His defensive work included one steal in 30 minutes. This was a red-hot shooting night from the 24-year-old, and Monk has now delivered at least 26 points in half of his last six games. He is also averaging 4.5 assists for the month, so the Lakers misfit has become a very valuable piece for Sacramento and his fantasy stock should continue to trend upward.
Sacramento Kings point guard De'Aaron Fox led all scorers with 33 points in Sunday's high-scoring 137-129 victory over Detroit. He hit 2-for-4 from downtown and was 11-for-18 overall from the field while handing out seven assists and grabbing four rebounds with two turnovers in 36 minutes. The 24-year-old has been in outstanding form early in the season and that's now five 30-point performances for him in 14 appearances. He is shooting over 56 percent for the month and Fox should have a strong finish to November. He will get to shine next against the Ja Morant-less Grizzlies on Tuesday. Earlier in the season, Fox had no trouble getting buckets against a full-strength Memphis team, so he should be even better positioned for a nice night this time around.
Sacramento Kings forward Keegan Murray (back) looks to be on his way to returning to the lineup Sunday versus Detroit, with him being listed as probable for the contest after fully participating in Saturday's practice. He sat out Thursday's action against San Antonio with lower back soreness after exiting Tuesday's win over Brooklyn with the issue. Murray has been a very inconsistent performer lately, but he's enjoyed a strong rookie campaign overall, averaging 12.0 points, with 3.7 rebounds, 1.1 assists, 1.0 steals and 0.8 blocks. The 22-year-old only recently joined the starting unit, so his numbers are bound to improve and fantasy managers should simply remain patient.
Sacramento Kings shooting guard Malik Monk (dental procedure) is questionable for Sunday's contest against Detroit. He had some work done on his teeth and missed Saturday's practice. It remains to be seen if Monk is feeling well enough to play against the Pistons. If not, then he will be dropping out of the lineup right after having his best game of the season. The 24-year-old went for 26 points in Thursday's 130-112 victory over San Antonio. Terence Davis has become a busy man lately and could find himself with more work Sunday if Monk isn't in the lineup, although his stock took a serious hit Thursday when Davis had an opportunity to replace Keegan Murray (back) in the starting unit and he ended up contributing very little on below 30 percent shooting. Murray is expected to be back Sunday as well.
