Lakers' Dalton Knecht: Efficient in limited run
Knecht amassed six points (2-4 FG, 2-3 3Pt), one rebound, one assist and one steal in seven minutes during Saturday's 146-115 loss to the Bulls.
Knecht was efficient during his extremely limited run in garbage time of a blowout loss. The rookie has received increased playing time of late due to LeBron James (groin) and Rui Hachimura (knee) being sidelined, though with both of them returning to action Saturday, Knecht could continue to receive fewer minutes moving forward.

Lakers' Dalton Knecht: Back to bench role
Knecht will come off the bench for Saturday's game against the Bulls, Ryan Ward of LakersNation.com reports.
After getting his 15th start of the season for the Lakers, Knecht will be in the second unit to face Chicago on Saturday. The talented rookie is averaging 7.8 points and 2.5 rebounds per game, shooting 45.6 percent from the floor and 35.4 percent from beyond the arc in a reserve role for Los Angeles this season.

Lakers' Dalton Knecht: Joining starters Thursday
Knecht is starting Thursday's game against the Bucks, Daniel Starkand of LakersNation.com reports.
Knecht will run with the first unit while the majority of the LA starters are sidelined for the second night of a back-to-back set. The Tennessee product put together a big night in his last opportunity to start last Friday against the Nuggets, putting up 32 points in 37 minutes of action.

Lakers' Dalton Knecht: Hits for 17 in spot start
Knecht amassed 17 points (5-14 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 4-5 FT), four rebounds, three assists and one steal across 31 minutes during Thursday's 118-89 loss to the Bucks.
With almost the entire Lakers starting five in street clothes, including LeBron James (groin) and Luka Doncic (ankle), Knecht tied fellow rookie Bronny James for the team scoring lead. Knecht has found a rhythm in March, scoring in double digits in nine of 11 contests (three starts) while averaging 14.4 points, 3.6 boards, 2.7 threes and 1.5 assists and shooting 41.1 percent from long distance.

Knecht had 13 points (4-10 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 3-4 FT), three rebounds, three assists and one block across 20 minutes during Monday's 125-109 win over San Antonio.
Knecht has been putting up solid numbers off the bench, and the rookie out of Tennessee continues to make a case to see regular second-unit minutes. Knecht has scored in double digits in seven of his last nine appearances, averaging 14.3 points, 3.7 rebounds and 1.4 assists per game in that stretch while shooting 50 percent from the floor and 40 percent from three.

Lakers' Dalton Knecht: Available Sunday
Knecht (back) is available for Sunday's game against the Suns, Khobi Price of The Orange County Register reports.
As expected, Knecht has been upgraded from probable to available. On Friday, the sharpshooter posted 32 points (13-27 FG, 5-13 3Pt) in 37 minutes as a starter during a 131-126 loss to Denver. However, with Luka Doncic and Dorian Finney-Smith back in action, Knecht will operate off the bench Sunday.

Lakers' Dalton Knecht: Probable for Sunday
Knecht is probable for Sunday's game against the Suns due to back soreness.
Knecht contributed 32 points (13-27 FG, 5-13 3Pt, 1-2 FT), two rebounds and one assist over 37 minutes during Friday's 131-126 loss to the Nuggets, and he continues to prove he can be relied upon when needed. The rookie carries a probable tag, but that suggests he should be available to suit up Sunday.

Lakers' Dalton Knecht: Steps up with 32 points
Knecht contributed 32 points (13-27 FG, 5-13 3Pt, 1-2 FT), two rebounds and one assist over 37 minutes during Friday's 131-126 loss to the Nuggets.
Knecht showed up with the first unit and posted his second-highest scoring total of the season. With the Lakers depleted by injuries, the rookie will look to be a valuable asset over the next week, but his fantasy viability is capped due to his limited playing time in normal circumstances. He may end up playing 30-plus minutes in the short term, but the Tennessee product will likely settle back into the 20-minute range once the team is healthy.

Lakers' Dalton Knecht: Jumps into first unit
Knecht is in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Nuggets, Jovan Buha of The Athletic reports.
The depleted Lakers will give the rookie first-rounder a look in the first unit Friday. Knecht has averaged 14.7 points, 4.9 rebounds, 1.2 assists and 0.8 steals in 31.0 minutes over 13 games as a starter this season.

Lakers' Dalton Knecht: Scores 10 points off bench
Knecht amassed 10 points (4-7 FG, 2-4 3Pt), five rebounds and three assists in 22 minutes during Thursday's 126-106 loss to the Bucks.
Luka Doncic and Austin Reaves combined for more than half of the team's points in this loss to Milwaukee, and Knecht was the lone other player who scored in double digits. The rookie sharpshooter has been turning things around following a subpar stretch in February. He's scored in double digits in all but one of his six appearances in March despite starting just once in that span.

Lakers' Dalton Knecht: Back to bench
Knecht will return to the bench for Thursday's game against the Bucks, Dan Woike of the Los Angeles Times reports.
Knecht started Monday against Brooklyn in place of Dorian Finney-Smith (ankle), but with Finney-Smith back from a one-game absence, Knecht will be relegated back to the second unit. With Rui Hachimura (knee) and LeBron James (groin) still out, Knecht will still likely be one of the main contributors off the bench Thursday.

Lakers' Dalton Knecht: Gets starting nod Monday
Knecht will start in Monday's matchup with Brooklyn, Mike Trudell of Spectrum SportsNet reports.
With LeBron James (groin), Dorian Finney-Smith (ankle) and Rui Hachimura (knee) all ruled out, Knecht will fill in for the short-handed Lakers as they take on the Nets. In 12 games this season as a starter, Knecht averaged 14.3 points, 5.0 rebounds, 1.3 assists, 0.8 steals and 0.1 blocks.

Lakers' Dalton Knecht: Scores nine points from bench
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.

Lakers' Dalton Knecht: Pops for 19 off bench
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 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.

Lakers' Dalton Knecht: Invisible in win
Knecht scored zero points (0-2 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 0-2 FT) and grabbed one rebound in 11 minutes in Thursday's 111-102 win over the Timberwolves.
Knecht had virtually no impact in Thursday's win, missing a pair of jump shots and free throws. Since returning to the Lakers as part of the rescinded Mark Williams trade, the rookie has seen his playing time and effectiveness dwindle. In his six games back, the 23-year-old wing is averaging just 3.7 points on 29.2 percent shooting in 12.2 minutes per game.
