Sacramento Kings guard Malik Monk (shoulder) is not listed on the injury report for Wednesday's contest against the Toronto Raptors. A shoulder issue kept Monk sidelined on Sunday when the Kings faced Brooklyn. Monk had a pair of 30-point efforts last month, but he has recently acted more as a playmaker. The 28-year-old has averaged 7.4 assists across his last three appearances, adding 13.2 points in 27.0 minutes per game. On Wednesday, Monk will eat into the minutes of Daeqwon Plowden, DaQuan Jeffries, and Killian Hayes.

Sacramento Kings guard Malik Monk (shoulder) will sit out Sunday's matchup with the Brooklyn Nets. He will exit the lineup due to a shoulder contusion after having 10 points and seven assists in 27 minutes on Saturday against Atlanta. Sacramento will also roll without DeMar DeRozan (hamstring), creating two openings in the starting lineup. Nique Clifford and Daeqwon Plowden are the leading candidates to join the first unit. Monk's absence should also give Devin Carter and DaQuan Jeffries more playing time.

Sacramento Kings guard Malik Monk will move into the starting five ahead of Saturday's game against the Atlanta Hawks. Fellow guard Nique Clifford (foot) is available following a two-game absence. However, the Kings have elected to ease him back into action and start Monk on Saturday. Possibly, Clifford is going to be limited, but the team hasn't said anything about a minutes limit. Monk should play his normal role in the rotation on Saturday. This season, Monk is averaging 12.7 points, 1.9 rebounds, and 3.0 assists across 22.3 minutes per game. The veteran guard has played 30 minutes or more over the last three games, but could see a reduced role with Clifford back in the mix. Regardless, Monk is worth starting in most 12-team fantasy leagues.

Sacramento Kings guard Malik Monk (shoulder) will not return to Thursday's game against the 76ers after suffering a shoulder injury in the first half, adding to Sacramento's growing list of absences during the fantasy playoffs. Monk finished with four points, five assists, and one rebound in 16 minutes after recently returning from a four-game ankle absence. Daeqwon Plowden could stay on the deep-league streaming radar after putting up 20 points with four three-pointers in 32 minutes as a starter. Nique Clifford (hamstring) may also see added usage if healthy, while Russell Westbrook and DeMar DeRozan should continue handling most of the offensive workload.

Sacramento Kings guard Malik Monk (ankle) is slated to suit up against the Philadelphia 76ers on Thursday. He will return to action after missing four straight games due to a right ankle sprain. Monk is expected to be assigned a heavy workload in his return, with Nique Clifford (hamstring) sidelined.

Sacramento Kings guard Malik Monk (ankle) still isn't fully healthy and remains on the injury report as questionable ahead of Thursday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. He is having trouble recovering from a right ankle sprain. Monk's absence from the rotation has given Killian Hayes, Daeqwon Plowden, and Doug McDermott consistent roles. From a fantasy perspective, Plowden has made the biggest impact, scoring 10-plus points in six straight games and recording multiple steals in four of the last five.

Sacramento Kings guard Malik Monk (ankle) will miss Tuesday's game against the Spurs, marking his fourth straight absence due to a right ankle sprain. Daeqwon Plowden should continue seeing an extended run after logging 10 points, four rebounds, two assists, and two steals in 31 minutes last game, making him a viable deep-league streamer for steals and threes. Russell Westbrook and DeMar DeRozan should continue handling most of the backcourt usage, while Nique Clifford could also maintain a stable role.

With Monk out of the picture, Daeqwon Plowden has secured a regular role in the rotation, logging at least 30 minutes in five consecutive contests. He has offered steady production over that stretch, averaging 12.8 points, 4.4 rebounds, and 1.4 steals. Veteran Doug McDermott has also carved out a spot in the rotation, though his deployment as a three-point gunner has largely failed to pay off.

With Monk, Russell Westbrook (foot), and Devin Carter (calf) all unavailable, Killian Hayes and Nique Clifford should continue seeing backcourt minutes.

Sacramento Kings guard Malik Monk (ankle) is dealing with ankle soreness and may not be available when his team finishes their back-to-back in Texas with a game against the Mavericks. Monk only had seven points in 19 minutes on Wednesday, but had double-digit points in five straight before that. Russell Westbrook (thigh) and Keegan Murray (ankle) are already out, so if Monk joins them on the sidelines, Devin Carter and Killian Hayes will get plenty of run in the backcourt, while Nique Clifford, Precious Achiuwa, and Maxime Raynaud will have to carry more of the scoring load in the offense.

Sacramento Kings guard Malik Monk (illness) is available for Thursday's clash with the Orlando Magic. An illness kept the 28-year-old sidelined for four consecutive contests. Monk is averaging 12.4 points, 2.6 assists and 2.0 rebounds across 22.2 minutes in 43 games this season.

Sacramento Kings guard Malik Monk (illness) will miss a second consecutive game on Monday against the New Orleans Pelicans. After dropping six three-point bombs and scoring 18 points against the Clippers on Friday night, Monk missed Saturday's contest against Cleveland due to illness and still needs time to recover from the bug. Sacramento's backcourt has also lost Zach LaVine (finger), improving the fantasy outlook of Nique Clifford and Devin Carter.

Carter also made a mark in the game, finishing with 18 points, four rebounds, four assists, one block, and one steal.

Monk is coming off an 18-point performance against the Los Angeles Clippers on Friday. Now, he's under the weather and will miss the second leg of this back-to-back set. The Kings are expected to use a committee approach to fill the void left by Monk. Nique Clifford, Devin Carter, and Daeqwon Plowden should all see more minutes on Saturday. Among the three, Clifford is likely the best streaming choice with Monk sidelined for Saturday's slate.

Monk is set to benefit from the situation on Sunday against one of the weakest defenses in the league.

Monk's next chance to return will be on Friday against the Boston Celtics.

Sacramento Kings guard Malik Monk (ankle) was downgraded from questionable to out for his team's matchup in New York on Tuesday. With Zach LaVine (back) also unavailable, Russell Westbrook, Dennis Schroder, and Keon Ellis will need to step up with Monk on the shelf. After spending part of the season out of the rotation, Monk has been very productive lately, and his absence could leave a lot of usage for the rest of the backcourt, with Ellis the most direct beneficiary. Ellis has been boom-or-bust in an expanded role, but he's worth a look as a DFS value play or a streaming option in what should be a busy night for him against the Knicks.

Sacramento Kings guard Malik Monk (ankle) is questionable to play on Tuesday against the New York Knicks. He's dealing with soreness in his right ankle, which could sideline him during what has been his best stretch of the season. Monk has posted 18.6 points and 3.2 assists per game over the past five contests. On Tuesday, Monk could make an even bigger impact if Zach LaVine (back) isn't in the lineup. At the same time, Dennis Schroder and Keon Ellis would benefit from Monk's absence.

Sacramento Kings guard Malik Monk has been made available ahead of the trade deadline, according to the latest reports from Chris B Haynes of NBA on Prime. Monk has fallen out of the rotation for the Kings as they try to go younger in the backcourt, but he still would be an interesting addition to a team's bench. The 27-year-old was runner-up for Sixth Man of the Year in 2023-24 and averaged 17.2 points, 5.6 assists, 3.8 rebounds, and 31.6 minutes per game last year in 65 games (45 starts) for the Kings. This year, he has played 24 games and averaged 12.5 points, 2.4 assists, and 2.0 rebounds. Monk will likely continue to be a non-factor for fantasy until he is traded, but once he is moved, he could end up in a great spot with plenty to offer, depending on his landing spot.
