Portland Trail Blazers forward Kevin Knox II had a prolific outing against the Clippers Saturday, ending up as the top scorer in a 136-125 loss with 30 points on 10-for-15 shooting. He was 5-for-8 with the three-ball and also posted a game-high 11 rebounds with two assists and one steal. Knox II has done well since getting a spot in the rotation and starting to log meaningful minutes. His shooting can be streaky, but he has still averaged close to 20 points this month with 6.0 rebounds. The former top-10 pick will get one more opportunity to impress Sunday versus the Warriors.
Hawks Not Extending Qualifying Offer To Kevin Knox II
The Hawks declined to extend a qualifying offer to forward Kevin Knox II, making him an unrestricted free agent. Since being selected with the No. 9 overall pick of the 2018 NBA Draft, Knox hasn't done much of anything, averaging only 7.7 points and 2.9 rebounds. There's a decent chance he'll find another club. However, Knox will likely be a deep bench option wherever he ends up, so it's unlikely the 22-year-old receives any fantasy interest moving ahead.
New York Knicks forward Kevin Knox II has entered the league's health and safety protocols. This is a shame considering Knox was playing well over his last two games. It seemed like Knox was finally building some momentum in New York. Now, the Knicks will have to rely on Mitchell Robinson and Nerlens Noel more without Knox available. Both are limited in skillset and don't offer huge upside.
New York Knicks small/power forward Kevin Knox II is not currently among the team's 10-man rotation, per head coach Tom Thibodeau. Despite that, Thibodeau indicated that Knox would not be heading to the G League bubble to get extended run, but would remain a bench cog that could eventually crack the rotation. Knox has delivered three double-digit scoring performances off the bench this season, but he has seen his minutes steadily slip over January. While his fantasy upside is reassured by remaining on the active roster, there's little reason for him to be viewed as either a season-long or DFS asset at this stage as he remains unable to earn consistent playing time.
New York Knicks guard Reggie Bullock (knee) and forward Kevin Knox II (knee) are listed as probable for Friday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. Both players were able to return during Wednesday's win over the Utah Jazz. They filled their normal roles, but neither player has much fantasy appeal. Both of them could be worth looking at in deeper leagues, however.
New York Knicks forward Kevin Knox (knee) is listed as probable for Tuesday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. He was able to play through left knee soreness on Sunday. The Knicks desperately need him on the court with Austin Rivers (groin) and Immanuel Quickley (hip) already ruled out. Alec Burks (ankle) is listed as questionable, so Knox could be looking at big minutes for Tuesday's contest.
New York Knicks forward Kevin Knox has reportedly looked good during training camp, according to head coach Tom Thibodeau. "When Kevin Knox takes good shots, he's going to make them. He's put a lot of time into his shooting. I think he's gotten stronger," said Thibodeau. It's unlikely that Knox ever lives up to the hype of being taken that high in the draft, but he could silence some haters this season. He probably won't be taken in most standard leagues, but is worth keeping an eye on during the regular season.
New York Knicks forward Kevin Knox might have played his last game with the organization unless the NBA does resume play at some point. Knicks president Leon Rose recently said still "doesnt know what to make of Knox and doesnt know if the 20-year-old is part of their future." Knox appears to be frustrated that he didn't receive more playing time after Mike Miller took over as head coach. His stats have taken a hit this season, but part of it is due to the fact he has seen less playing time. It's unclear at the moment whether or not the organization plans to trade Knox. The 20 year old still has plenty of potential, but might be better suited for a different organization.
New York Knicks forward Kevin Knox is reportedly frustrated with his playing time, according to Marc Berman. His inner circle is frustrated after Knox didn't receive an increase in playing time after head coach Mike Miller took over. Miller was told by Knicks president Leon Rose to play the players he felt would win basketball games. Knox didn't see an uptick in playing time and it doesn't sound like the Knicks organization has much faith in him. His points per game dropped from 12.8 in his rookie campaign to 6.4 points in 2019. Knox is still a young player, so maybe a change of scenery would do him well.
New York Knicks forward Kevin Knox (leg) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Utah Jazz. His role on the team has decreased lately, so Knox wasn't a huge help even when he's on the court. Wayne Ellington, Maurice Harkless and possibly Frank Ntilikina would see more minutes if Knox is unable to play. None of those players are worth using in DFS contests or most fantasy formats.
