Kevin Knox turns in 27 points, 8 boards, 3 dimes for Knicks
New York Knicks rookie small forward Kevin Knox scored 27 points (10-of-17 field goals, 4-of-6 free throws) with 8 rebounds, 3 assists, 1 block, 3 3-pointers, and 2 turnovers in a career-high 46.8 minutes of a 137-116 loss to the Utah Jazz on Wednesday.
What It Means:
Knox led the Knicks in scoring and logged over 40 minutes for the first time since February 2 while helping make up for an injury-ravaged backcourt. It was the second-highest scoring output of his young career and first game with more than 6 rebounds in almost a month. The Knicks host the Denver Nuggets on Friday.
Knox finished with 42.1 FanDuel points in the win, his second-highest output of the season. He's averaging 20.5 FanDuel points through his first 65 NBA contests.
