BALLER MOVE: Add in 10+ Team Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 55% of leagues
ANALYSIS: This might not be entirely true, but wins are starting to pile up for the Lakers and that started to happen the minute Malik Monk was put into the starting lineup. As real as it gets. It's been four weeks in a row through Saturday and five in the last six games, all of them with Monk in the lineup. And honestly, Monk couldn't have played better ball in that span.

Go Premium, Win More!Malik signed as a free agent with the Lakers this season and it came to be known during the past few days that he received no interest at all around the League other than that of LA. Jeez. He's finding revenge these days, though. Monk has dropped 15+ points in seven straight games, has hit 2+ triples in each of those matches, is shooting a blistering 56.9% from the field in that span, and attempting between 9 and 20 FGA for an average of 13.7 shots a pop. Now, that's what we call production.
Monk will undoubtedly get hit hard by the eventual Anthony Davis' comeback, of course, but so far so good for the guard/forward. The former Hornet is handling 35 MPG while logging low-but-viable usage rates around 20.2% as a starter. Nothing remarkable, but more than a healthy mark considering he shares the floor with LBJ and Russ. Must-add in pretty much every format at least until AD gets back to the court. A fantastic source of points (22 PPG in the past seven games), triples (3.9 3PM), and percentages with kinda-good stock-upside (1.85 stocks per game).
