Run it every time. Spam it. – 11:54 PM

These Monk dimes to Sabonis are ridiculous. Rockets need to find a way to keep him on the left side of the floor – 10:46 PM

Sean Cunningham @SeanCunningham
Malik Monk racking up the assists here in the first half, already up to 7 here in the second quarter. Two-man game with Domantas Sabonis supremely impactful thus far. – 10:45 PM

Dave Mason @DeuceMason
The Monk-Sabonis two man game is just too sweeeeet – 10:44 PM

James Ham @James_HamNBA
The Monk to Sabonis two-man game is going strong. Sabonis with another circus shot. He’s up to 9 points and 8 rebounds. Monk has 6 points and 7 assists. Kings lead 48-40. – 10:44 PM

Kings lead the Rockets 26-25 after 1Q. Keegan Murray is pacing the Kings with 8 points on 3-for-4 shooting. Keon Ellis and Malik Monk each have 6 points. – 10:28 PM

The pocket pass from Monk to Sabonis was crazy. Kings up 15-14. – 10:18 PM

James Ham @James_HamNBA
Kings open the game with a pair of turnovers. Rockets start 0-for-4 from the field. Monk finally gets the Kings on the board with a layup. 2-0 Kings. – 10:07 PM

On the morning NBA injury report, Malik Monk is listed as probable. Devin Carter is questionable with left shoulder soreness and Jordan McLaughlin is out due to personal reasons. – 12:48 PM
