Kevin Knox Erupts For Career-High 26 Points
Kevin Knox came out of seemingly nowhere for a 26-point performance during Saturday’s overtime win against the Milwaukee Bucks. After three straight single-digit scoring performances in the last week -- including one scoreless outing -- Knox logged 37 minutes Saturday and went 9-for-20 from the floor overall, while going 5-for-12 from deep. To cap off his night, he added four rebounds and four assists, showcasing the all-around game that the Knicks envisioned when they selected him ninth overall in the NBA Draft in June. Head coach David Fizdale has been volatile with his rotations this season to say the least, but Knox is certainly an option in dynasty formats and a high-risk, high-upside DFS play most nights.

Kevin Knox II Scores Game-High 30 Points Saturday
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
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.

Kevin Knox II Enters Safety Protocols
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.
