Bucks' Greg Monroe: Does not see any playing time Thursday

Monroe (coach's decision) didn't see the floor in Thursday's 96-73 loss to the Heat.

Analysis:

Monroe isn't dealing with any injury at the moment, but coach Jason Kidd indicated after the game that he told the veteran prior to the game that he had planned to go with starter John Henson and Miles Plumlee exclusively at the center spot Thursday. It's not expected that Monroe will remain out of the rotation for long given what's he capable of providing as an interior scorer, but the big man's fantasy value is clearly on the decline after he averaged only 20.1 minutes per game through the Bucks' first 10 contests. The Bucks would probably love to find a trade partner to take on Monroe, but a lack of interested suitors along with the center's exorbitant contract have prevented anything from materializing yet.
