Greg Monroe: Posts 18 off the bench in victory

Since Jabari Parker (knee) went down for the season, the ever-confounding coach
Jason Kidd has employed a wide variety of looks in his starting five. Going
small by shifting Antetokounmpo to the 4 and using a combo of Thon Maker and
John Henson at center has been one of the most frequent schemes, but inevitably
Monroe has found his way into the rotation and gotten his share of minutes off
the bench, routinely boasting respectable stat lines in a reserve role. Coach
Kidd can be a bit frustrating for fantasy owners as his frontcourt’s usage has
varied wildly since the loss of Parker, so it is tough to depend on Monroe to
produce on a regular basis. He can be a good source of rebounds when his usage
is over his average (currently 22.4 minutes), but expectations must be tempered
due to Monroe’s current situation.
