Malik Monk will probably take home some hardware to top off an outstanding season.
The dynamic three of De’Aaron Fox, Domantas Sabonis, and Malik Monk has undoubtedly been the highlight of the Sacramento Kings’ exciting season, which has been full of ups and downs. The Sacramento Kings’ stars have been entertaining even though they haven’t made an All-Star team this season.
Monk has advanced in almost every area of his game this year in an effort to challenge for the title after placing among the top five in the NBA Sixth Man of the Year voting in the 2022–2023 season.
At -115 odds, FanDuel Sportsbook has Monk as the overwhelming favorite to win the 2023–24 NBA Sixth Man of the Year, besting Tim Hardaway Jr. of the Dallas Mavericks, who is ranked second at +180.
With a career-high average of 15.1 points and 5.3 assists, Monk, 26, is enjoying the best season of his career. Even though Monk is only in his second year in Sacramento, his highlight plays and intense playmaking have made him a fan favorite. The sixth man for Sacramento is more than simply a human highlight reel because of how little of an impact he has on the game.
Monk is a potential free agent in 2024, so the Kings should make every effort to keep the gifted guard on staff. This season, Monk will undoubtedly win his first NBA trophy, but the championship-focused Kings team has bigger plans.
