Knicks' Immanuel Quickley: Reaches 15-point mark again
Rotowire
Quickley recorded 18 points (4-11 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 7-8 FT), two rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal across 29 minutes during Sunday's 116-113 loss to the Suns.
The Knicks lack a consistent scoring weapon outside of their trio of Julius Randle, Jalen Brunson and RJ Barrett, and more often than not, it's Quickley who ends up having solid performances off the bench. He's been on a roll of late and has scored at least 15 points in five of his last six outings, making him a valuable asset in fantasy due to his scoring prowess.

Knicks' Immanuel Quickley: Lights it up from deep off bench
Rotowire
Quickley posted 20 points (8-17 FG, 4-8 3Pt), four rebounds, two assists and one block across 26 minutes during Friday's 100-98 victory over the Heat.
Quickley led all Knicks in threes made while finishing second on the team in scoring and as one of two New York players with 20 or more points in the comeback victory. Quickley has been one of the best producers off the bench for the Knicks, notching at least 20 points in four games this year, including in three of his last five outings.

Knicks' Immanuel Quickley: Erupts for 27 points
Rotowire
Quickley totaled 27 points (10-18 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 4-5 FT), six rebounds, four assists and one steal across 33 minutes during Friday's 120-99 victory over the Wizards.
Quickley stepped up for the Knicks in a big way in the absence of both RJ Barrett (illness) and Quentin Grimes (hand). It remains to be seen if either of them will be ready in time for Saturday's game against the Hornets. Quickley is known to be streaky, but he's heating up with averages of 18.0 points, 4.6 assists, 3.4 rebounds and 2.8 three-pointers over his last five games.

Knicks' Immanuel Quickley: Hits for 20 off bench in win
Rotowire
Quickley finished with 20 points (6-11 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 5-6 FT), four assists and one steal in 28 minutes off the bench during Wednesday's 116-114 victory over the Hawks.
It's the first time Quickley has scored at least 20 points since Opening Night, when he dropped 24 in a loss to the Celtics. The fourth-year guard has been the most consistent member of the Knicks' second unit to begin the season, failing to score in double digits only twice in 11 games, and if the hand injury Quentin Grimes picked up Wednesday proves to be serious, Quickley could see his usage grow, even if he doesn't move into the starting five.

Knicks' Immanuel Quickley: Comes close to double-double
Rotowire
Quickley registered 17 points (5-9 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 3-3 FT), five rebounds and nine assists in 26 minutes during Sunday's 129-107 win over Charlotte.
As has been the case often since the start of last season, Quickley thrived off the bench and was able to generate instant offense despite not being a starter. He ended just one assist away from recording a double-double and continues to be a consistent scorer for the Knicks, putting up 10 or more points in all but one of his outings while averaging 24.3 minutes per game.

Rotowire

Quickley led all bench players in Wednesday's game in scoring and assists while connecting on a trio of threes and finishing as one of five Knicks with a double-digit point total in the win. Quickley has been a strong contributor off New York's bench this season, tallying 18 or more points in four of his eight appearances.

Knicks' Immanuel Quickley: Strong showing off bench
Rotowire
Quickley finished Tuesday's 109-91 victory over the Cavaliers with 18 points (6-11 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 3-3 FT), three rebounds and two assists in 24 minutes off the bench.
The fourth-year guard has had a very efficient start to the season, and despite seeing over five fewer minutes a game so far than he did in 2022-23, Quickley's actually improved his scoring average thanks to 46.7 percent shooting from the floor and 92.3 percent shooting from the free-throw line -- numbers that would be career highs. He's also been more active from long range, attempting a career-high 6.3 three-pointers a game while draining them at a solid 36.0 percent clip.

Knicks' Immanuel Quickley: Scores 10 points
Rotowire
Quickley produced 10 points (4-9 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), one rebound and one assist across 19 minutes during Saturday's 96-87 loss to the Pelicans.
This workload was disappointing, and Quickley's playing time has decreased in two straight games after he saw 28 minutes against Boston on Opening Night. The Knicks are very deep in the backcourt, and the logjam certainly hinders his upside early in the season.

Quickley delivered 21 points (8-14 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 3-5 FT), a rebound, three assists and three steals across 23 minutes off the bench in Monday's 114-107 preseason win over the Celtics.
Quickley was one of the best reserves during the 2022-23 NBA campaign, and he figures to have the same role this season, which should lead to him being a steady contributor in most fantasy formats. Quickley is coming off a career-best season in which he averaged 14.9 points, 4.2 rebounds and 3.4 assists per game.

Quickley (ankle) is doubtful for Monday's Game 4 in Miami.
Head coach Tom Thibodeau said Quickley was considered day-to-day Sunday, but it's not surprising that the backup point guard may not play in Game 4 after spraining his left ankle during New York's Game 3 loss.

Knicks' Immanuel Quickley: Considered day-to-day
Rotowire
Head coach Tom Thibodeau said Sunday that Quickley (ankle) is day-to-day after spraining his ankle during Saturday's Game 3 loss to Miami, Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald reports.
Quickly posted 12 points (4-12 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 2-2 FT), one rebound and one steal across 20 minutes before suffering the injury, and given the severity of the issue, it wouldn't be surprising to see the backup point guard sidelined for at least one contest. When asked if Evan Fournier or Derrick Rose could crack the rotation in Quickley's potential absence, Thibodeau said, "everything's on the table. We'll see how it unfolds," per Ian Begley of SportsNet New York.
