Eligibility
Availability
Dalton Knecht has been listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Spurs.
Fantasy Impact
Knecht should remain in his reserve role if he is cleared. Otherwise, Max Christie could see some more minutes.
Dalton Knecht scored 37 points (12-16 FG, 9-12 3PT, 4-5 FT) to go along with five rebounds and one steal in the Lakers 124-118 win over the Jazz.
Fantasy Impact
Knecht exploded for 21 points out of the half in the third quarter. He had stretches of huge scoring games at Tennessee where he would completely take over and that was the case in the third quarter on Tuesday for the Lakers. He should remain in the starting lineup while Rui Hachimura is sidelined.
Dalton Knecht flirted with a double-double for the Lakers Saturday night, grabbing seven rebounds and scoring 27 points (10-17 FG, 5-10 3PT, 2-2 FT) while also recording two steals and dishing out two assists in a 104-99 win over the Pelicans.
Fantasy Impact
Knecht continues a solid stretch on the offensive end of the floor, scoring at least 14 points in each of the last three games. The rookie forward continues to grow into his role as a reliable option in a Los Angeles starting five led by superstars LeBron James and Anthony Davis, averaging 9.3 points per game to go along with a 16.4% usage rate so far this season.
Dalton Knecht chipped in 14 points (6-11 FG, 2-4 3PT) while also grabbing three rebounds in the Lakers' 120-115 win over the Spurs Friday night.
Fantasy Impact
Knecht has struggled to make a consistent impact on the floor of late, finishing with five points or less in three of the last five games. The talented rookie possesses the ability to score in bunches, but will need more consistent touches moving forward, averaging 7.8 points per game to go along with a 15.6% usage rate so far this season.
Dalton Knecht scored just three points (1-7 FG, 1-7 3P), with four rebounds, two assists, and a steal in the Lakers' 131-114 loss to the Grizzlies before leaving with an injury in the fourth quarter on Wednesday.
Fantasy Impact
Knecht just couldn't get anything going tonight, running cold from three on a night where all of his shots came from beyond the arc. He's shown flashes of promise and could develop into a good player for this team, but he's just not quite there yet right now. It's still early in the season, though, and it's unfair to ask a rookie to be a star right off the bat.
