Drops 24 points in loss Monk logged 24 points (8-17 FG, 3-9 3Pt, 5-6 FT), seven rebounds, four assists, two blocks and one steal in 37 minutes during Thursday's 128-112 loss to Golden State.

Impact Los Angeles played without most of its regular starters in the contest, handing players like Monk and Talen Horton-Tucker (40 points) the reigns on offense. Monk registered his best scoring effort since March 29 and handed out a team-best four assists. The fifth-year guard is averaging 17.9 points, 4.6 dimes, 3.4 boards and 2.5 three-pointers over his past eight games.

Logs only 18 minutes Monk recorded seven points (3-7 FG, 1-2 3Pt), three rebounds and five assists over 18 minutes during Tuesday's 121-110 loss to the Suns.

Impact Monk has helped the Lakers through some difficult times this season, but he's had a lot of trouble finding scoring opportunities recently. His primary problem is shot volume, as he's attempted only 16 shots over the past two games. He also took a seat early in Tuesday's loss, which is another contributing factor to his sagging fantasy production.

Anthony Davis on Lakers: ‘We don't know what this team could've been’

Scoring regression continues Monk had 11 points (5-9 FG, 1-3 3Pt), three rebounds and six assists in 33 minutes during Sunday's 129-118 loss to the Nuggets.

Impact Despite logging his third start in the past four games, Monk's numbers have taken a hit recently. He's come in handy amidst the Lakers' plethora of injury losses and is one of a few players to absorb LeBron James' production when he is absent. Although he can pop with a big number in that injury scenario, his performances over the past two games show how volatile his fantasy usage can be.

Starting Sunday Monk will start Sunday's game against the Nuggets.

Impact With LeBron James (ankle) sidelined, Monk will draw his 32nd start of the season. As a starter, he's averaged 16.7 points, 3.9 rebounds and 3.2 assists in 32.2 minutes per game. While Monk will draw the start in place of James, Anthony Davis and Russell Westbrook will likely benefit the most from the All-Star captain's absence.
