Monk joining his college teammate, De'Aaron Fox, in the starting lineup was long overdue but better late than never. Monk has played a huge role in Sacramento's seven-game win streak, but he will not be available during their attempt at an eighth straight win.

The Bucks were resting three-time All-Star forward Khris Middleton who dealt with an ankle injury that cost him the first 21 games of the season. Milwaukee was on the first night of a back-to-back and the plan was to have Middleton back for Wednesday’s game against the Orlando Magic.

The surging Sacramento Kings face the Milwaukee Bucks for the first time this season on Tuesday. Sacramento, enjoying a seven-game winning run, its longest of the season, will look to cap off an Eastern Conference road swing with another victory. Domantas Sabonis, De’Aaron Fox and DeMar DeRozan are ready to lead the Kings.
