• Knicks' Frank Ntilikina: Career night against Washington

  03/11/2020 •

  Ntilikina supplied 20 points (6-9 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 5-6 FT), 10 assists, two rebounds and two steals in 30 minutes during Tuesday's 122-115 loss to the Wizards. Ntilikina amassed a career high scoring total while posting a season high in dimes. Ntilikina has also swiped two steals in three of the last five tilts, and he made the most of his opportunity on a night when Elfrid Payton struggled with his shot and foul trouble. However, unless Ntilikina starts earning this many minutes on a consistent basis, he's unlikely to hold much value beyond deeper leagues.

• Knicks' Frank Ntilikina: Plays big minutes off bench

  03/03/2020 •

  Ntilikina logged 29 minutes off the bench in Monday's 125-123 win over the Rockets, producing 11 points (5-10 FG, 1-6 3Pt), four assists and two steals. Ntilikina was making his second appearance for the Knicks since returning over the weekend from a three-game absence due to a groin injury. He was held under 20 minutes in Saturday's win over the Bulls, but Ntilikina was able to pick up some extra playing time thanks to starting point guard Elfrid Payton's lackluster production. Considering Payton had played 30-plus minutes in all but one of his prior 13 appearances, it's tough to bank on Ntilikina getting this level of playing time again Wednesday versus the Jazz.
