Dalton Knecht is a guard for the Los Angeles Lakers, operating primarily in a reserve role off the bench. He stands 6 feet tall and weighs 204 lbs, and he played his college basketball at Tennessee before reaching the NBA level.
Through 56 games this season, Knecht is averaging 4.5 points, 1.7 rebounds, and 0.5 assists per game across 11.9 minutes per night. His shooting numbers reflect the limited and sometimes inconsistent opportunities that come with a bench role, posting a 38.6% field goal percentage and 25.5% from three-point range. His plus-minus of -2.2 suggests the team has slightly underperformed during his time on the floor. For bettors, Knecht fits the profile of a low-floor points prop target. His modest scoring average and limited minutes make the under on points props the more straightforward lean in most matchups. His rebounding (1.7 per game) and assist numbers (0.5 per game) sit low enough that unders on those markets also carry appeal. Usage can spike in certain matchups depending on roster availability, so monitoring the Lakers injury report before game time is relevant when considering any Knecht prop. His three-point volume and accuracy are both limited at this stage, making three-pointers-made props another market where the under holds logical value based on his current statistical profile.
