Knicks' Mindaugas Kuzminskas shows up in Carmelo Anthony's stead

New York Knicks small forward Mindaugas Kuzminskas matched his career-high 19 points on Saturday, adding one rebound, two assists and three 3-pointers in 36 minutes.

What It Means:

The Knicks appear to want to get an extra look at Kuzminskas, who came off a 14-point Thursday as well. Of course, his minutes and stat output will be based on whether or not starter Carmelo Anthony (knee) gets shut down this season. There is a decent chance this happens with the Knicks so far out of the playoff picture, so Kuzminskas is worth a look in deep leagues.

Kuzminskas had the second-most value generated for the Knicks on the night, posting 19.02 nERD.
