Courtney Lee takes a seat in second half as Knicks go small in win
New York Knicks guard/forward Courtney Lee scored 4 points (2-of-6 field goals) with 2 rebounds and 1 turnover in only 21.6 minutes of Sunday's 111-107 win over the Atlanta Hawks.
What It Means:
Knicks head coach Jeff Hornacek decided to stick with Frank Ntilikina and Ron Baker in the backcourt for almost the entire fourth quarter, so Lee wound up playing a bit less than his normal workload of 32.0 minutes per game. Look for him to bounce back at home versus the Los Angeles Lakers on Tuesday.
Lee finished with 5.4 FanDuel points on Sunday, well below his average of 24.3 FanDuel points per game this season. Over the remainder of the year, numberFire's models project him to record 11.8 points, 3.2 rebounds, 1.8 assists, 2.0 3-pointers, 1.0 steals, and 1.1 turnovers per game.
