Landry Shamet has made six 3-pointers in a game on three occasions this season, including twice during the New York Knicks' current six-game winning streak.

Shamet will look to find his range again as the Knicks bid to set a season-high winning streak on Tuesday night against the host Washington Wizards.

Shamet made three shots from beyond the arc in the fourth quarter to highlight his 23-point performance in 26 minutes off the bench on Sunday, helping New York to a 112-100 victory over the Los Angeles Lakers.

"I always say I have the easy job," Shamet said. "I'm on the receiving end. It's guys like (Jalen Brunson) getting blitzed and having to make the right decision. My job is to catch the ball and shoot the ball."

Shamet is making an impressive 43.5% of his attempts from 3-point range this season. He is averaging 9.3 points in 24 games (six starts) during a season in which he missed 25 games due to a right shoulder sprain.

"It's part of the journey," Shamet said. "There are highs and lows in this thing. You can't get caught up on either end of that spectrum. Just take care of your work every day, try to be a good teammate and the rest will take care of itself."

OG Anunoby scored 25 points on Sunday, Josh Hart had 20 points and Brunson collected 12 points and a season-high 13 assists for the Knicks.

Karl-Anthony Towns recorded 11 points and 13 rebounds on Sunday, hours after he was named as an Eastern Conference reserve in the upcoming All-Star Game. He joins Brunson, on the All-Star team for the second year in a row, for the game at Inglewood, Calif. on Feb. 15.

Towns had 33 points and 13 rebounds in New York's 119-102 win over Washington on Nov. 3. Brunson and Anunoby each had 16 points for the Knicks, who took advantage of 20 turnovers and held a 52-42 edge in points in the paint.

Alex Sarr scored 19 points in that game, and Bilal Coulibaly, Kyshawn George and Corey Kispert each had 15 for Washington.

The Wizards answered a recent nine-game losing streak by winning three of their last four contests, including a 116-112 decision over the Sacramento Kings on Sunday.

Rookie Will Riley posted season highs in points (18), made 3-pointers (four) and assists (six) to propel Washington.

"Our team was giving me the opportunity to drive, shoot and they were creating space for me to get into the gaps. I couldn't do it without them," Riley said in his postgame interview with Monumental Sports Network.

AJ Johnson added a season-high 17 points and Coulibaly and Marvin Bagley III each scored 15 for the Wizards, who enjoyed a 61-20 advantage in bench points.

"We brought a good mentality. It was great," Riley said of the team's attitude. "We just competed and it was an all-around fun game."
