NBA Sit or Start Guide

Dalton Knecht (Los Angeles Lakers)

Dalton Knecht is emerging as a reliable scoring option for the Lakers. With defenses focused on superstars like LeBron James and Luka Dončić, he's getting extended minutes and finding open looks, especially from beyond the arc. His efficiency and favorable matchup make him a top fantasy start.

Start

Ty Jerome (Cleveland Cavaliers)

With key Cavaliers guards injured or resting, Ty Jerome is seeing increased minutes. His efficient shooting, solid playmaking, and a favorable defensive matchup position him as a sneaky great fantasy start.

Start

Grayson Allen (Phoenix Suns)

Grayson Allen's role in the Suns is inconsistent due to the presence of established stars. With a tough defensive matchup and limited upside beyond three-point attempts, he's best left on the bench in your fantasy lineup.
