Struggles with three-point shot Monk closed with 20 points (5-12 FG, 0-5 3Pt, 10-10 FT), two rebounds, six assists and one steal across 32 minutes during Wednesday's 113-107 win over the 76ers.

Impact Monk delivered an impressive stat line and reached the 20-point mark for the second time over his last three games. Even though the fact that he went 0-for-5 from beyond the arc might stand out, the truth is that Monk has been struggling with his shot since being promoted to a starting role on Dec. 1. During that 14-game span, he's averaging 16.7 points per game but is only shooting a subpar 32.7 percent from three-point range. Furthermore, his 33.9 percent from deep this season would be his lowest mark of the last five seasons if he doesn't improve it in the coming months.

Puts together diverse line in win Monk logged 14 points (4-14 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 5-6 FT), seven rebounds, six assists and one steal in 36 minutes during Monday's 110-100 win over the Mavericks.

Impact It's taken a few years for Monk to find his way back into a starting lineup, but it looks like he's now the preferred option after working with the second unit during his first two seasons with the Kings. Monk's ability to put up solid totals in a reserve role was never in doubt, but the addition of DeMar DeRozan and Kevin Huerter's streaky play has led to a permanent spot for Monk with the first unit. Monk and DeRozan seem to complement each other well, and the Kentucky product's ability to impact in multiple categories is a great bonus for the squad.

Impact two-way performer Monk amassed 25 points (9-19 FG, 4-10 3Pt, 3-3 FT), six rebounds, 10 assists, three blocks and one steal in 34 minutes during Monday's 130-129 loss to the Nuggets.

Impact Monk has scored at least 20 points in three of his last five starts, but he's been making a difference in most fantasy formats due to his contributions in other categories. He's showing he's not just a one-dimensional scorer, posting a season-high mark in blocks and dishing out double-digit dimes just for the second time in 2024-25. Monk has experienced an uptick in his fantasy value, and the numbers back him up. He's averaging 18.1 points, 4.4 rebounds, 7.3 assists and a combined 1.4 steals-plus-blocks in seven starts this season.

Shooting woes in win Thursday Monk registered five points (2-11 FG, 1-5 3Pt), nine assists, four rebounds, one block and one steal over 34 minutes during Thursday's 111-109 win over New Orleans.

Impact Monk struggled to find his rhythm from the field Thursday as he tied his season-low mark in scoring. The 26-year-old has successfully made the jump to the starting five in his last six outings, during which he has averaged 17.0 points, 6.8 assists and 4.2 rebounds while shooting 40.4 percent from deep across 33.2 minutes per game.

Scores 23 points Thursday Monk had 23 points (7-16 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 5-5 FT), one rebound and five assists over 32 minutes during Thursday's 115-110 loss to Memphis.

Impact Monk continues to produce in a starting role for the Kings, and there's no question Sacramento is riding his hot hand now. This was his fifth straight game with at least 15 points, scoring over 20 thrice in that span, and he's shooting an impressive 51.9 percent from the field in that stretch. Monk's numbers are likely to regress at some point, particularly in the efficiency department. Still, he's been showing he's worth rostering in most formats, especially now that he holds a starting role.

Racks up double-double in win Monk ended with 17 points (5-10 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 3-3 FT), two rebounds, 12 assists and one steal in 35 minutes during Tuesday's 120-111 victory over the Rockets.

Impact The Kings once again opted to start Monk over Keon Eliis, who has struggled to stay consistent. Monk has responded with two excellent games, and although Kevin Huerter is back in action, Monk will play a key role as Huerter's health improves. Monk has been the first man off the bench for the Kings frequently over his three-year tenure with the team, and he's invaluable as an offensive spark. Odds are that he'll return to that role eventually, but he is currently strutting his stuff as a starter.

Scores 19 points Sunday Monk racked up 19 points (7-14 FG, 5-10 3Pt), seven rebounds, six assists, one block and one steal over 37 minutes during Sunday's 127-125 loss to San Antonio.

Impact Monk had an impressive showing and is making a strong case to remain as the Kings' starting shooting guard going forward. Monk missed seven games between Nov. 11 and Nov. 24 due to a right ankle sprain, but he's been on a tear since returning to the hardwood. He's scored at least 19 points in his last three outings while averaging 22.3 points and shooting 48.6 percent from three in his previous four contests.
