• Lakers' Dalton Knecht: Another low point Wednesday

  5D 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

  14D 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.

  Knecht logged 16 points (6-7 FG, 4-5 3Pt, 0-2 FT), two rebounds and one assist in 19 minutes during Wednesday's 121-92 loss to Oklahoma City. Knecht matched his season-high mark of 16 points as he was able to take advantage of some garbage time in this blowout loss. He's made the most of his limited minutes in November, putting up averages of 7.8 points, 2.7 rebounds and 1.5 three-pointers on 48.6 percent shooting from the field in 17.5 minutes per contest.

  11/04/2025 • By RotoWire

  Knecht will start in Monday's game against the Trail Blazers, Harrison Faigen of SBNation.com reports. The second-year swingman will get the starting nod with Luka Doncic (finger), Austin Reaves (groin), LeBron James (sciatica) and Gabe Vincent (ankle) sidelined. Knecht has logged double-digit minutes in five consecutive appearances, averaging 8.2 points and 1.4 rebounds while shooting 43.2 percent from the field in 20.2 minutes per contest during that span.

• Lakers' Dalton Knecht: Steps up with 16 points

  10/28/2025 • By RotoWire

  Knecht finished with 16 points (5-13 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 4-4 FT), two rebounds, one assist, one block and two steals in 25 minutes during Monday's 122-108 loss to the Trail Blazers. Knecht didn't play at all on Opening Night, but his minutes have been trending up for three straight games due to injuries. He's shooting 37.5 percent from the field overall, but he did have some nice moments in Monday's loss. If the Lakers get some reinforcements back for Wednesday's game against Minnesota, Knecht could again be facing an uphill battle for playing time.
