Kings' Malik Monk: Comes close to double-double
Sacramento Kings' De'Aaron Fox is questionable for the game against the Nuggets due to a wrist injury. Fox's potential absence could affect the Kings, who rely on his 25.6 points per game. The team may turn to Sabonis and Monk to compensate.
The Kings almost came back from a 25-point deficit on the second night of a back-to-back, but Nikola Jokic was too much to overcome.
