Won't start vs. Minnesota
Knecht is not in the starting lineup for Game 1 against the Timberwolves on Saturday, Dan Woike of the Los Angeles Times reports.
Analysis
The Lakers rested most of their regulars for the regular-season finale against the Trail Blazers on April 13, so Knecht enjoyed a sizable uptick in minutes in that matchup, but that won't be the case in this postseason opener. The rookie out of Tennessee can add some much-needed floor spacing on offense, but his fantasy upside will be severely limited due to his bench role.

Scores 27 points in starting role
Knecht ended with 27 points (9-21 FG, 5-12 3Pt, 4-4 FT), eight rebounds and two blocks over 37 minutes during Sunday's 109-81 loss to the Trail Blazers.
Analysis
Knecht made the most of this spot start Sunday and posted an impressive line, finishing among the leading scorers for the Lakers in what turned out to be a blowout loss. The Lakers locked up the third seed in the Western Conference standings and will begin their playoff run against the Timberwolves on Saturday. Knecht figures to hold a role off the bench in the postseason, so fantasy managers who decide to trust him shouldn't expect this kind of stat line on a regular basis. He finished the regular season with averages of 9.1 points, 2.8 rebounds and 0.8 assists per game, shooting 37.6 percent from three in 78 appearances (16 starts).

In starting lineup Sunday
Knecht will be in the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Trail Blazers, Daniel Starkand of LakersNation.com reports.
Analysis
Knecht will be a starter for the 16th time during his rookie campaign Sunday. The talented scorer has averaged 16.0 points, 4.7 rebounds and 1.3 assists per game, shooting 46.5 percent from the field and 39.3 percent from deep while in the first unit for Los Angeles.
