Probable for Thursday Monk (groin) has been listed as probable for Thursday's game against the Rockets.

Impact Monk appears to be trending toward returning to the basketball floor for the Kings on Thursday against the Rockets. The veteran guard missed Tuesday's game against the Bucks with a groin injury but could return in Sacramento. He's currently averaging a career-high 17.2 points, 3.8 rebounds and 5.4 assists per game, shooting 43.5 percent from the field and 33.9 percent from beyond the arc.

Ruled out Tuesday Monk (groin) will not play Tuesday against the Bucks, Chris Biderman of The Sacramento Bee reports.

Impact Monk was previously carrying a questionable tag which suggests that he's day-to-day, but he will sit out his first game since Nov. 24. His next chance to play will be Thursday against the Rockets, and fantasy managers can consider him questionable for that contest. As for Tuesday, the Kings could turn to Keon Ellis and Kevin Huerter to step into larger roles.

Iffy for Tuesday Monk (groin) is listed as questionable for Tuesday's game against the Bucks.

Impact Monk is in danger of missing his first contest since Nov. 24 due to right groin soreness. The 26-year-old has carved out a significant role in the starting five this season, and if he's sidelined, Keon Ellis and Kevin Huerter are candidates for increased roles. Over his last five outings, Monk has averaged 24.0 points, 8.2 assists, 4.2 rebounds and 2.0 steals in 37.0 minutes per contest.

Flirts with triple-double in win Monk closed Sunday's 124-119 win over the Bulls with 18 points (7-18 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 3-3 FT), eight rebounds, nine assists and two steals across 37 minutes.

Impact Monk did a little bit of everything for Sacramento in the starting lineup Sunday, leading all players in assists and steals while ending as one of four players with 15 or more points and coming up one dime and one rebounds shy of a triple-double. Monk posted his sixth game of the season with at least 15 points, five rebounds and five assists while securing at least 18 points in six straight outings.

Continues to fill in admirably Monk logged 22 points (9-24 FG, 3-11 3Pt, 1-1 FT), three rebounds, eight assists, one block and one steal over 37 minutes during Friday's 114-97 win over the Celtics.

Impact Operating as Sacramento's point guard for the injured De'Aaron Fox (glute) for a third straight contest, Monk continued to fill in admirably with 22 points and eight assists to go with a full stat line Friday. The streaky Monk appears to be on a heater at the moment, as the 26-year-old is averaging 22.3 points, 7.3 assists, 4.0 rebounds, 1.4 steals and 2.7 threes across his last seven contests. If Fox is unable to suit up for the Kings on Sunday against the Bulls, Monk would figure to continue handling an expanded role as one of the team's top playmakers alongside Domantas Sabonis and DeMar DeRozan.

Impact Monk didn't have his best shooting line after needing 25 shots to score 23 points, though he still posted an impressive line in general. He's been playing at a high level of late and has reached the 20-point mark in five of his last six outings.

Shines with 26/12 double-double Monk produced 26 points (9-14 FG, 5-8 3Pt, 3-3 FT), three rebounds, 12 assists, one block and four steals in 29 minutes during Sunday's 129-99 victory over Golden State.

Impact Monk's brilliant play continued with a team-high 26 points. Although De'Aaron Fox's (hip) absence was a contributing factor, Monk's totals have been excellent, independent of Sacramento's injury report. Promoting Monk has proven to be a winning formula, and fantasy managers should expect the production to continue. He's enjoyed a great start to January, averaging 25.7 points, 8.0 assists, 2.3 rebounds and 2.0 steals over three games.

Delivers massive line in win Monk registered 31 points (11-20 FG, 6-12 3Pt, 3-3 FT), two rebounds, six assists and one steal in 33 minutes during Friday's 138-133 victory over the Grizzlies.

Impact Promoting Monk to the first unit is the shrewdest move the Kings have made this season. After toiling as the sixth man for two seasons and reserve roles elsewhere, Monk is finally getting a chance to hold down a full-time job as a starter. He's solidly outperforming the competition below him on the depth chart, and this scenario doesn't look like it will change anytime soon. He'll have ample opportunity to keep posting prolific totals despite a hist of elite talent on the roster.
