New York Knicks DFS Notes
Julius Randle struggled with his shot (4-of-13 FGs, 7-of-12 FTs), but still managed to finish with 16 points, 10 rebounds, seven assists, and three turnovers in 38 minutes on Sunday. Randle has been awful when shooting the ball since the All-Star break, as he’s shot 6-of-28 from the floor in their two games. Still, he’s been able to provide value in other areas like rebounding and assists. Overall, it’s been a disappointing season for Randle, though he seemed to have some momentum heading into the break. Hopefully, he can get back to playing at that level.
Philadelphia 76ers DFS Notes
James Harden dominated the Knicks with 29 points on 8-of-14 shooting with 10 rebounds, 16 assists, five steals, three triples, and three turnovers in 39 minutes on Sunday. Harden set season-highs for both assists and steals, while finishing with his 10th triple-double this season. Harden has fit in flawlessly alongside Joel Embiid, and it looks like he’ll be an even better fantasy asset for the rest of the season than he was with Brooklyn. As the 76ers push for the top spot in the East, Harden seems to be as locked in as ever. Fantasy managers should be thrilled heading into the fantasy playoffs.
