Kings' Malik Monk: Out for personal reasons
Rotowire
Monk is listed out for Friday's game against the Pelicans due to a personal matter.
The Kings initially listed Monk as questionable for the contest due to a sore right shoulder, but it's a personal issue that will ultimately keep him from playing Friday. His next chance to rejoin the Kings arrives Sunday, when Sacramento takes on the Clippers. Devin Carter and Nique Clifford should see enough playing time Friday to warrant streaming attention in all fantasy leagues.

Rotowire
Monk (shoulder) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against New Orleans.
Monk was held out of Sunday's loss to Brooklyn due to a right shoulder contusion and is in jeopardy of missing Friday's game with soreness in that same shoulder.

Monk started in each of the Kings' last three contests, most recently finishing with 10 points, two rebounds, seven assists and one steal across 27 minutes in Saturday's 123-113 loss to Atlanta. However, he won't suit up Sunday due to a right-shoulder contusion.

Rotowire
Monk will start Tuesday's game against the Hornets, Sam Perley of the Hornets' official site reports.
After dropping a season-high 32 points in Sunday's win over Brooklyn, Monk will step into the starting five for the first time this season due to Sacramento being extremely shorthanded. The veteran guard has averaged 17.6 points and 4.0 assists across 23.6 minutes per contest in his last five appearances.

Kings' Malik Monk: Season-high 32 points in win
Rotowire
Monk amassed 32 points (8-17 FG, 7-13 3Pt, 9-9 FT), six assists, two rebounds and one block across 30 minutes in Sunday's 126-122 win over the Nets.
With the Kings shorthanded Sunday, Monk saw an expanded role and made the most of the opportunity, tying his season high in triples en route to a season-best 32 points. The veteran guard also led the second unit in assists and has dished out at least five dimes in three of his last four outings. Killian Hayes (toe) and Nique Clifford (ankle) both exited Sunday's win early, so Monk would be in line for increased minutes in Charlotte on Tuesday if Hayes, Clifford or Russell Westbrook (foot) is sidelined.
