Kings' Malik Monk: Puts up 26 points in win
Monk posted 26 points (9-15 FG, 7-9 3Pt, 1-1 FT), one rebound, eight assists and one steal across 32 minutes during Monday's 124-112 win over the Lakers.
Monk recorded his sixth game of the campaign with at least 20 points and set a new season-high mark with 26 on the night. It's no secret that Monk is on the trade block, as the Kings seem ready to pivot to a rebuild. With a modest contract and a proven resume as a scorer and playmaker, Monk is likely to have a decent market.

Kings' Malik Monk: Posts 15 points off bench
Monk closed Sunday's 111-98 win over the Rockets with 15 points (6-12 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 1-1 FT), four rebounds, three assists and one block across 26 minutes.
With Dennis Schroder (suspension) sidelined, Monk took on a larger role in the offense, recording 26 minutes during the victory. Russell Westbrook's resurgence and the addition of Schroder have torpedoed any fantasy value Monk had previously, and his outlier performance won't change that. Monk would need a trade or a string of Sacramento injuries to make a significant difference.

Kings' Malik Monk: Re-emerges in rotation
Monk recorded eight points (4-10 FG, 0-4 3Pt), two rebounds and one assist in 19 minutes off the bench in Friday's 137-103 loss to the Warriors.
Monk hadn't played in any of the Kings' previous three games due to coach's decision, but he re-emerged on the second unit Friday after head coach Doug Christie elected to drop Doug McDermott from the rotation and also chose to cut down Precious Achiuwa's playing time. Though he wasn't particularly productive during his time on the court, Monk could become a more consistent fixture in the rotation in the short term if the Kings intend to showcase him ahead of the Feb. 5 trade deadline.

Kings' Malik Monk: Muted role continues
Monk had 11 points (4-10 FG, 3-9 3Pt), two rebounds, two assists and one steal in 19 minutes during Sunday's 125-101 loss to the Lakers.
While Monk hit double digits in scoring, his playing time remains discouraging. The veteran guard has averaged 7.3 points, 1.5 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 1.0 steals in 14.3 minutes per contest across his previous four games, and it wouldn't be shocking if the Kings explored trade options for Monk at the deadline.

Kings' Malik Monk: Sees five minutes
Monk posted two points (1-1 FG, 0-2 FT) across five minutes during Sunday's 125-124 overtime win over the Rockets.
After picking up two straight DNP-CD's, Monk finally got off the bench in Sunday's win. With Nique Clifford becoming more involved for the Kings, Monk appears to be the odd man out.

Kings' Malik Monk: Falls out of rotation
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
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.

Kings' Malik Monk: Scoreless in nine minutes
Monk closed with zero points (0-5 FG, 0-2 3Pt), four rebounds and one assist over nine minutes during Monday's 116-105 loss to the Pacers.
Monk failed to score for just the second time this season, continuing what has been a frustrating campaign. Fresh off back-to-back 20+-point performances, Monk has since scored three and zero points. The Sacramento rotation is impossible to project at this point, making Monk a hard player to trust in standard fantasy leagues.

Kings' Malik Monk: Scores 25 points with five assists
Monk recorded 25 points (10-19 FG, 5-8 3Pt), five assists, three rebounds and two steals in 30 minutes during Wednesday's 121-95 loss to the Rockets.
Monk notched a new season high in points in the blowout loss, and he saw some increased opportunity to close the game with DeMar DeRozan, Zach LaVine and Russell Westbrook all getting benched down the stretch. Monk has been trending up as of late, scoring 20-plus in three of his past five games.

Kings' Malik Monk: Available to play
Monk (shoulder) is available for Wednesday's game in Houston.
Monk was being listed as probable for Wednesday night's game, so there was never much doubt about his status. Monk is averaging 13.2 points, 2.2 assists and 1.8 three-pointers on the season.

Kings' Malik Monk: Listed probable for Wednesday
Monk (shoulder) is probable for Wednesday's game against Houston.
Monk missed practice Monday due to shoulder soreness, but he's still in line to play Wednesday. The veteran guard has averaged 13.2 points, 2.2 assists and 1.9 rebounds in 24.3 minutes per tilt across 18 games this season, shooting 40.2 percent from three-point land.

Kings' Malik Monk: Misses practice Monday
Monk did not practice Monday due to shoulder soreness, Brenden Nunes of KHTK Sactown Sports 1140 reports.
The Kings are off until Wednesday, and the team doesn't expect the guard to miss any time. Essentially, the Kings are being cautious here. Monk produced 21 points (8-17 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 4-5 FT), six rebounds, six assists, two blocks and two steals across 34 minutes off the bench during Sunday's 115-107 loss to Memphis.

Kings' Malik Monk: Hits for 21 in Sunday's loss
Monk racked up 21 points (8-17 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 4-5 FT), six rebounds, six assists, two blocks and two steals across 34 minutes off the bench during Sunday's 115-107 loss to Memphis.
It's the fourth time this season, and the second time in the last four games, that Monk has produced at least 20 points. The 34 minutes also represented his biggest workload of the season, as the 27-year-old guard stepped up in the absence of Dennis Schroder (hip). Monk has struggled to provide consistent offense from the second unit this season, but he's scored in double digits in six of the last eight games, averaging 13.6 points, 2.5 boards, 2.1 assists, 1.6 threes and 1.5 combined steals and blocks in 24.9 minutes over that stretch.

Kings' Malik Monk: Busy off bench Monday
Monk amassed 22 points (9-18 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal across 26 minutes during Monday's 117-112 overtime victory over Minnesota.
Monk filled the box score Monday, crossing the 20-point marker for the third time in 2025-26. The veteran guard hasn't started a game this season, but he's been productive enough to warrant some consideration as a low-end option in most fantasy leagues. Monk has averaged 13.1 points, 2.1 assists, 1.7 rebounds and 0.9 steals 24.0 minutes per tilt in 15 games this season.

Kings' Malik Monk: Drawing first start of season
Monk is starting Wednesday's game against the Thunder.

Kings' Malik Monk: Remaining in bench role

Kings' Malik Monk: Cleared to face Timberwolves
Monk (ankle) is available for Friday's game against Minnesota, Sean Cunningham of Fox 40 Sacramento reports.
Monk is battling ankle soreness, but he's bringing his stay off the floor to a one-game minimum after missing Wednesday's contest against the Hawks. The swingman shouldn't have any restrictions Friday. On the campaign, Monk has averaged 14.2 points, 2.4 assists, 1.6 rebounds and 0.9 steals during 24.8 minutes per contest in nine games.

Kings' Malik Monk: Iffy for Friday
Monk (ankle) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Timberwolves.
Monk is in jeopardy of missing his second consecutive contest due to left ankle soreness. If the veteran guard is ultimately ruled out, Nique Clifford, Keon Ellis and Devin Carter are candidates for an uptick in minutes. Over his last five outings, Monk has averaged 13.0 points, 2.2 assists and 1.8 rebounds in 25.0 minutes per game.

Kings' Malik Monk: Won't play Wednesday
Monk (ankle) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Hawks, Jason Anderson of The Sacramento Bee reports.
Monk was deemed questionable for the contest due to left ankle soreness, and he'll wind up taking a seat. With Zach LaVine (thigh) sidelined, Russell Westbrook and Keon Ellis could see more action. Monk's next chance to play will come Friday against the Timberwolves.
