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.

Giannis Antetokounmpo had 30 points, 13 assists and 11 rebounds for his 50th career triple-double as the Milwaukee Bucks beat Sacramento 130-115 on Tuesday to snap the Kings’ seven-game win streak.
