Lakers' Dalton Knecht: Scores nine points from bench
Dalton Knecht accumulated nine points (4-6 FG, 1-3 3Pt), five rebounds, one assist and one block in 24 minutes during Saturday's 111-101 loss to the Celtics.Knecht's role is likely to expand due to LeBron James' groin injury, although there's no word on who will be the first man up in his absence. Rui Hachimura (knee) is sidelined for at least another week, and he would have been in line for the biggest boost if he was healthy. It's entirely possible that coach JJ Redick will take a small-ball approach with what he has available, and that could result in an enhanced role for the rookie.

Dalton Knecht totaled 19 points (7-10 FG, 5-8 3Pt), four rebounds and two steals over 25 minutes off the bench during Sunday's 108-102 victory over the Clippers.It was the rookie's best scoring performance since he struck for 24 points in 23 minutes against the 76ers on Jan. 28. Sunday's game marked the first time Knecht had played 20-plus minutes since rejoining the Los Angeles Lakers following the rescinded trade with the Hornets for Mark Williams. However, Knecht's increased workload came with both Austin Reaves (calf) and Rui Hachimura (knee) sidelined. Reaves isn't expected to miss much time, and Knecht's usage will likely decline again once he returns.
