Malik Monk took charge in overtime Monday as the Sacramento Kings completed a 4-2 homestand before starting a three-game road Wednesday night against the Toronto Raptors.
Monk scored 12 points in overtime Monday to help the Kings to a 121-111 victory over the undermanned Memphis Grizzlies.
Monk had 28 points, six rebounds and six assists for the Kings (39-28), who maintained the No. 6 seed in the Western Conference.
Domantas Sabonis had 25 points, 18 rebounds, five assists and two blocked shots for Sacramento, recording his 50th consecutive double-double and extending his single-season franchise record. He is the 10th player in NBA history with a double-double streak of 50 games or more.
The Kings also had a big game from Fox, who had 23 points, seven rebounds, 10 assists and three steals. Keegan Murray added 15 points and 10 rebounds.
Starter Kevin Huerter (shoulder) left the game early in the first quarter and did not return. Keon Ellis replaced Huerter and tallied five points, seven rebounds, three assists, a steal and five blocked shots.
The Kings will be facing another short-handed team. The Raptors (23-45) have lost seven in a row after dropping a home-and-home set Friday and Sunday to the Orlando Magic.
The list of missing Raptors includes Scottie Barnes (hand), Jakob Poeltl (finger) and RJ Barrett (personal).
The Raptors begin a stretch of six of seven games at home Wednesday after losing 111-96 at Orlando on Sunday.
Jordan Nwora led the Raptors with 18 points. Gary Trent Jr. scored 15 points, and Immanuel Quickley and Bruce Brown each had 12.
Nwora scored 12 straight Raptors points in the third quarter after Orlando took a 17-point lead.
Nwora was 7-for-9 from the field and had seven rebounds to take advantage of his increased role in a depleted lineup.
The Kings defeated the Raptors 135-130 in Sacramento on Jan. 5.
