Explodes for season-high 30 points Monk contributed 30 points (11-24 FG, 3-10 3Pt, 5-5 FT), four rebounds, five assists and one block in 31 minutes during Sunday's 126-110 victory over the Bulls.

Impact Monk had a brilliant outing during the decisive win, helping to fill the gap left by DeMar DeRozan's (illness) absence. His 30-point effort was the best scoring result of the season for the ninth-year pro, who was at risk of fading into the woodwork as the team explored the bench for options as they look to the future. Monk ended that trend with 30 minutes against the Pelicans and a resounding tour de force against the short-handed Bulls. Monk will probably be wearing another jersey next season, but nights like this will certainly drive his stock up in free agency.

Playing limited minutes Monk ended with 13 points (5-10 FG, 3-7 3Pt), three rebounds and five assists in 18 minutes during Tuesday's 114-103 loss to the Suns.

Impact Monk has logged fewer than 20 minutes in five consecutive games, limiting his fantasy appeal. During this stretch, the veteran swingman has averaged 9.6 points, 2.8 assists and 1.8 rebounds in 18.3 minutes per game while shooting just 36.2 percent from the floor.

Available Thursday Monk (ankle) has been cleared to play Thursday against the Mavericks.

Impact Monk was in danger of missing Thursday's matchup due to ankle soreness, but he's since been cleared to take the court. The Kentucky product is averaging 12.5 points, 1.5 rebounds and 3.3 assists in his last four outings.

FEBRUARY 27 • ROTOWIRE

Iffy for Thursday Monk has right ankle soreness and is questionable for Thursday's game against Dallas.

Impact Thursday's game is the second leg of a back-to-back set, so the Kings may proceed with caution. Russell Westbrook (thigh) is also out, meaning Nique Clifford and Devin Carter could see expanded run.

Only 19 minutes in win Monk finished Monday's 123-114 victory over the Grizzlies with 10 points (4-10 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 1-1 FT), two assists, one block and two steals in 19 minutes.

Impact Monk scored double digits for the fifth straight appearance, although his playing time was largely underwhelming. Despite the fact that Sacramento is looking to the future, it doesn't appear as though Monk is high on its list of priorities. In three games over the past week, he has averaged 14.3 points, 3.3 assists, 1.0 steals and 2.3 three-pointers in 22.4 minutes per game. At best, he should be viewed as a possible streaming candidate.

Plays well in return Monk recorded 14 points (5-8 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 1-3 FT) and two assists across 20 minutes during Thursday's 131-94 loss to Orlando.

Impact With Zach LaVine (hand) and Domantas Sabonis (knee) out for the season, Monk is a candidate to see increased usage down the stretch. An illness sidelined Monk for the Kings' final three games before the All-Star break, but he saw a modest workload Thursday with the team getting blown out by Orlando.

Ready to return Thursday Monk (illness) is not listed on the injury report ahead of Thursday's game against the Magic.

Impact An illness sidelined Monk for the Kings' final three games before the All-Star break, but the veteran guard has been given the green light to return Thursday against Orlando. Monk averaged 15.6 points, 3.1 assists, 2.0 rebounds and 3.2 threes over 24.0 minutes per game over his last nine outings prior to the ASB.

Remains out with illness Monk (illness) didn't play in Monday's game against the Pelicans.

Impact Monk has missed two straight games due to an illness, and his final chance to suit up before the All-Star break will come Wednesday in Utah. After the break, it's unclear what Monk's role will be, but that'll likely depend on the health of Zach LaVine (finger), Keegan Murray (ankle) and De'Andre Hunter (eye). From Jan. 9 through Feb. 6, Monk appeared in 14 of 16 games, averaging 14.4 points, 3.3 assists and 2.1 rebounds in 23.4 minutes per game.

Out with illness Monk is out for Saturday's game against the Cavaliers due to an illness.

Impact Monk was coming off an 18-point performance in the loss to the Clippers on Friday, but he won't be able to suit up in the second leg of this back-to-back set. Monk, who has scored in double digits in all but one of his last nine appearances off the bench, will aim to return against the Pelicans on Monday.

Kings' mainstay vindicated after Sacramento gives up on trading him In a close loss, Malik Monk showed up in a big way for the Sacramento Kings, proving that not trading him was the right choice.

FEBRUARY 7 • AROYALPAIN.COM

Drains six threes in Friday's loss Monk logged 18 points (6-13 FG, 6-9 3Pt), two rebounds, two assists and one steal across 22 minutes off the bench during Friday's 114-111 loss to the Clippers.

Impact The 18 points actually led the Kings on the night, while the six made three-pointers were Monk's best showing from beyond the arc since Jan. 12, when he lit up the Lakers with a 7-for-9 performance from downtown. Neither DeMar DeRozan nor Zach LaVine were shipped out at the trade deadline, so Monk will remain part of the second unit, but he's very comfortable in that role -- he's scored in double digits in eight of his last nine games, averaging 15.6 points, 3.2 threes, 3.1 assists and 2.0 boards in 24.0 minutes over that stretch while shooting 47.5 percent from long distance.
