Sacramento Kings guard Malik Monk (calf) will not feature in this week's Play-In Tournament. The 27-year-old missed the final three regular-season games due to a left calf strain and is still working his way back from the injury. He was ruled out for two weeks on April 9, meaning Sacramento will also have to begin its playoff campaign without Monk if the team manages to extend the season. Monk's absence has given Devin Carter a role in the regular rotation. However, the 23-year-old rookie has not provided much from a fantasy perspective, averaging 5.3 points, 3.0 rebounds, and 1.3 assists across the three games that Monk has missed.

Sacramento Kings guard Malik Monk (calf) has been ruled out for Wednesday's tilt against the Denver Nuggets. He injured his left calf on Monday against the Detroit Pistons and could be done for the rest of the regular season. Monk's early exit on Monday gave Devin Carter a spot in the rotation. He finished with seven points, two rebounds, one assist, and one steal in 22 minutes. Carter will likely get a bump in minutes again on Wednesday night, but fantasy managers should not get too excited about this, as the 23-year-old struggled to fill the box score against the Pistons.

Sacramento Kings guard Malik Monk (illness) will return from a three-game absence on Thursday against the Trail Blazers. Sacramento has lost four-straight contests, so the Kings need to get it together if the team hopes to remain in the Play-In conversation. Fortunately, Monk, who has averaged a career-high 18.1 points, 3.8 rebounds, 5.9 assists, and 1.0 steals, will be back on the floor. However, his return means Keon Ellis, combining for 46 points in the last three games, will head back to the bench.

Sacramento Kings guard Malik Monk (illness) is listed as questionable for Thursday's contest against the Portland Trail Blazers. He has missed three games due to an illness, and it's uncertain whether Monk will be able to return on Thursday. Keon Ellis has delivered impressive performances as Monk's replacement in the starting lineup, averaging 15.3 points, 5.0 rebounds, 4.7 assists, and 2.0 steals. He will remain an intriguing fantasy option on Thursday if Monk is not feeling well enough to play.

Sacramento Kings guard Malik Monk (illness) has been ruled out ahead of Tuesday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. Monk is set to miss his third game in a row due to a lingering illness. Before that, Monk was playing big minutes in the rotation with 32 minutes or more in his previous five games. His absence should mean Keon Ellis and Devin Carter see increased roles in the rotation. Neither are great streaming choices, but Ellis is the better option between the two for Tuesday's slate.

Sacramento Kings guard Malik Monk (illness) may only need to miss one game for an illness after receiving a questionable status for Monday's game against the Boston Celtics.

This year, he's averaging 18.1 points, 5.9 assists, 3.8 rebounds, 1.0 steals, and 2.2 threes per game. So, if he plays, he's a must-start in most fantasy formats. On the other hand, Keon Ellis would be a solid streaming option if Monk can't play. Against the Milwaukee Bucks on Saturday, Ellis dropped 20 points, nine rebounds, and six assists.

Sacramento Kings guard Malik Monk (illness) has been ruled out ahead of Saturday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. Monk was a late addition to the injury report and will now sit out due to an illness. The absence of Monk should mean increased roles for Devin Carter and Keon Ellis on Saturday. Ellis has the higher ceiling between the two players, but also posted zero points across 17 points during his last game. Fantasy managers should be able to find a better streaming choice ahead of Saturday's slate.

Sacramento Kings guard Malik Monk (toe) will miss a second consecutive game on Friday against the San Antonio Spurs. He has failed to recover from a toe injury that Monk sustained on Monday against the Dallas Mavericks. With him sidelined for Wednesday's clash against the Denver Nuggets, Keon Ellis moved to the starting lineup. Ellis provided a full line in 39 minutes with 11 points, seven rebounds, three assists, two blocks, and two steals. He looks to be a good option for fantasy managers again on Friday.

The team has downgraded Monk's status from questionable to out, as the 27-year-old needs more time to recover from a toe sprain. Keon Ellis and Markelle Fultz are potential candidates to replace Monk in the starting lineup on Wednesday. At the same time, Zach LaVine may have a more active role in the backcourt.

The 27-year-old injured his toe during Monday's matchup against the Dallas Mavericks. After a visit to the locker room, Monk managed to return and complete the game, but he might miss additional time on Wednesday. Markelle Fultz could start in place of Monk, while Keon Ellis may also see increased playing time if Monk is unable to play on Wednesday. Neither player provides exceptional fantasy production, although Ellis is valuable for his defensive numbers. He has averaged 1.4 blocks and 1.6 steals since the All-Star break.

Sacramento Kings guard/forward Malik Monk (groin) will likely return to the lineup on Thursday against Houston, as the team lists him as probable for the contest. Monk missed Tuesday's action against Milwaukee due to groin soreness. Keon Ellis took over his spot in the starting lineup and had a fine night with 18 points. He will lose a significant amount of fantasy value by returning to the bench. Monk has provided 18.6 points with 4.1 rebounds and 6.5 assists since being promoted to the first unit. One of his first games in the new role was against the Rockets, and Monk had a fun night in a 120-111 win with 17 points and a career-high 12 assists.

According to Chris Biderman of The Sacramento Bee, Sacramento Kings guard/forwardMalik Monk(groin) will not play against the Milwaukee Bucks on Tuesday. After sustaining a groin injury, Monk will miss his eighth game of the season. However, tonight's contest will be the first he's been sidelined since November 24th. The 26-year-old's next opportunity comes on Thursday against the Rockets. Kevin Huerter and Keon Ellis should share Monk's minutes on Tuesday.

Sacramento Kings guard/forward Malik Monk (groin) is considered questionable for Tuesday's tilt against Milwaukee. After sustaining a groin injury, he might be absent for an eighth time this season. Monk recently went on a tear with De'Aaron Fox out of the lineup, and he has had a strong campaign overall. Since moving to the starting unit in December, Monk has notched 18.5 points, 4.1 rebounds, 6.5 assists, and 1.1 steals. Keon Ellis and Kevin Huerter should share Monk's minutes if he can't play on Tuesday. Ellis is the better fantasy target, as Huerter has struggled this campaign with the Kings.

Sacramento Kings guard Malik Monk (ankle) is officially active on Monday night for the Kings matchup against the Oklahoma City Thunder. Monk will make his return after missing the last seven games with a right ankle sprain. The 26-year-old also will not have a minutes restriction per head coach Mike Brown. This is a big boost for the Kings who will need everything they can get against the Thunder. Monk has averaged 12.6 PPG this season and averaged 18.7 PPG in three games against the Thunder last season. Fantasy managers and DFS managers should both ensure they find a way to get Monk into their lineups.

According to NBA reporter Chris Haynes, Sacramento Kings guard/forwardMalik Monk(ankle) is expected to suit up against the Thunder on Monday. Monk has missed seven consecutive contests due to a right ankle sprain. If the 26-year-old has any setbacks in warmups and is not able to go, Kevin Huerter will continue to see extra minutes. Huerter played 32 minutes and posted 11 points, three rebounds and two blocks against the Brooklyn Nets on Sunday.

Sacramento Kings guard/forward Malik Monk (ankle) will not return to the lineup for Sunday's battle against Brooklyn. There was hope of him potentially being ready to make his comeback when Monk was upgraded twice throughout the day, reaching a questionable status, but he has now been ruled out. The savvy scorer will miss a seventh consecutive game. Keon Ellis has filled a larger role in the rotation during Monk's absence, but he has been very inconsistent and is not a good fantasy option.

Sacramento Kings guard Malik Monk (ankle) was able to get through the non-contact portions of practice on Thursday. Head coach Mike Brown expects Monk to sit out during Friday's game, but it looks like Monk is making progress. The 26-year-old has missed each of the last five games due to a right ankle sprain. Keon Ellis played 33 minutes on Monday and scored 33 points with six rebounds. He figures to continue seeing increased playing time until Monk returns. However, fantasy managers shouldn't expect Ellis to continue producing like that as his 33-point performance was more of a fluke than anything else.

Sacramento Kings guard Malik Monk (ankle) will be re-evaluated in two weeks after suffering a "moderate" right ankle sprain in Sunday's win over the Phoenix Suns. The 2017 No. 11 overall pick has provided valuable minutes off the bench for the Kings, averaging 12.6 points, 3.0 rebounds, and 2.8 assists. But now that he'll be sidelined for at least a few weeks, Keon Ellis and Doug McDermott could see more action moving ahead. However, Ellis and McDermott have a long way to go before earning a consistent place in fantasy lineups.

Sacramento Kings guard Malik Monk (ankle) has been ruled out for Monday night's contest against the San Antonio Spurs. The sixth man is dealing with a sprained ankle and won't be suiting up for the first time this season. Keon Ellis should see some more minutes off of the bench while Doug McDermott could see some more opportunities for the offensive side of the ball. Ellis would be the better streaming option if defensive stats are needed.

Sacramento Kings guard/forward Malik Monk (hand) isn't on the injury report ahead of Thursday's season opener against the Timberwolves. He appears to be good to go for the contest after battling right-hand soreness last week. Monk, who has been among the NBA's top bench scorers in recent years, will begin another campaign as a member of the Kings' second unit. However, he should still get a lot of action and can do big damage once he gets going. Minnesota had no answer to Monk the last time these teams met, as the 26-year-old went off for 39 points off the bench in a 124-120 overtime win.
