Luke Kornet goes 3-of-16, adds 4 steals in rare Knicks' victory
New York Knicks power forward Luke Kornet scored 11 points (3-of-16 field goals, 2-of-2 free throws) with 3 rebounds, 4 steals, 1 block, and 3 3-pointers in 31.4 minutes of a 106-91 win over the Atlanta Hawks on Thursday.
What It Means:
Kornet drew the start in place of Mario Hezonja (leg) after being in and out of the rotation over the past few weeks. He went 3-of-10 from beyond the arc in a poor shooting effort, but still managed to put together a solid fantasy line. The steals were one shy of Kornet's career-best. The Knicks' first game after the All-Star break is on February 22 at home versus the Minnesota Timberwolves.
Kornet finished with 29.6 FanDuel points in the win. He's averaging 15.2 FanDuel points through 29 games this season.
