• Lakers' Dalton Knecht: Drops 30 points in G League

  5D ago • By RotoWire

  Knecht produced 30 points (10-17 FG, 6-10 3Pt, 3-3 FT), five rebounds, two assists, two steals and one block in 36 minutes of Tuesday's 127-118 G League win over the San Diego Clippers. With Knecht falling out of the rotation at the NBA level, he was sent to South Bay to get some live reps, and he made the most of them. More games in the G League could be on the table for Knecht in the future, but he was recalled to the NBA club Wednesday morning.

• Lakers' Dalton Knecht: Another low point Wednesday

  11D ago • By RotoWire

  Knecht accumulated three points (1-1 FG, 1-1 3Pt) in one minute during Wednesday's 132-119 loss to the Spurs. Knecht continues to be a non-factor for the Lakers, having scored double digits only five times thus far this season. He has played in three of the past four games, averaging 3.7 points in 5.7 minutes per game during that span. At this stage, he would need a miracle to have any chance of going close to putting up fantasy value, outside of very deep formats.

• Lakers' Dalton Knecht: Plays 17 minutes in win

  21D ago • By RotoWire

  Knecht had four points (1-4 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT), one rebound, two assists and one block across 17 minutes during Sunday's 133-121 win over the Pelicans. Knecht has effectively been phased out of the Lakers' regular rotation. Even with LeBron James (foot) and Marcus Smart (back) ruled out for Sunday's game, Knecht played only 17 minutes. With a fully healthy squad, Knecht will likely not see the court. Prior to Sunday night, Knecht logged just a total of five minutes (and two DNPs) in his last four games.
