Enes Kanter comes up with 21 points, 19 rebounds in Knicks' loss
New York Knicks center Enes Kanter scored 21 points (8-of-16 field goals, 5-of-5 free throws) with 19 rebounds, 3 assists, 1 block, and 4 turnovers in 37.7 minutes of a 131-117 loss to the Orlando Magic on Sunday.
Kanter came out hot and wound up starting the second half, just one game after logging a season-low 15.1 minutes against Anthony Davis and the New Orleans Pelicans on Friday. Despite the strong showing, Knicks head coach David Fizdale said the team's primary focus is "development," so Kanter will continue to be an inconsistent commodity as long as Mitchell Robinson is healthy. The Knicks host the Portland Trail Blazers on Tuesday.
Kanter scored 47.3 FanDuel points on Sunday. He's averaging 32.6 FanDuel points through 17 contests.
