KAT and Naz both effectively defending Malik Monk on a switch in crunchtime is kinda the perfect encapsulation of why this team, with this roster construction, has exceeded expectations this season. – 10:30 PM

From Kings PR: Malik Monk has his 20th 20-point game of the season tonight at Minnesota. He is the 12th player over the last 10 seasons to score 20+ points in 20 games or more off the bench. – 10:09 PM

It’s really not possible to replace what De’Aaron Fox brings for the Kings.
But if anyone (in the league) can make a real case, it’s Malik Monk. – 10:06 PM
