Kings' Malik Monk: Falls out of rotation
Malik Monk (coach's decision) went unused in Saturday's 98-93 loss to Portland.Monk has now been held out of the Sacramento rotation for two consecutive games, though head coach Doug Christie noted after the game that the arrangement is "not necessarily permanent," adding that the team's priority is giving minute to the group on the floor "plays extremely hard," per Brenden Nunes of KHTK Sactown Sports 1140. Monk had been averaging 24 minutes per game this season before his unexpected absences the past two contests. Nique Clifford, Keon Ellis and Dennis Schroder have handled most of the reserve minutes at guard and on the wing with Monk going unused.

Kings' Malik Monk: Logs 30 minutes, bounces back
Malik Monk supplied 18 points (5-11 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 5-6 FT), four rebounds, five assists and one steal over 30 minutes during Thursday's 136-105 loss to the Nuggets.Monk went scoreless across nine minutes off the bench in the loss to the Pacers on Monday, but he bounced back Thursday and delivered another game with 15 or more points. It was the fourth time he achieved this feat in the last seven games, but he's had three games with five or fewer points in that stretch. The inconsistencies as a scorer and the bench role limit Monk's upside, but he's still a player worth having rostered in most leagues -- and particularly category-based formats where he can supply decent three-point shooting numbers.
