Knicks struggling when they try too hard to exploit mismatches against switching defenses"I think it causes us to get stagnant," Josh Hart said. "Instead of, when teams switch, we've got to play faster.''
Tyler Kolek - Not on injury reportKolek (illness) isn't listed on the injury report for Friday's game against the Hornets.
ImpactKolek was sidelined for Wednesday's loss to Dallas due to an illness, but he should be able to suit up Friday. However, with Cameron Payne and Miles McBride both healthy and available, Kolek may not be part of the regular rotation versus Charlotte.

Spencer Dinwiddie - Hands out nine assists WednesdayDinwiddie totaled 21 points (8-11 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, nine assists and one steal across 33 minutes during Wednesday's 129-114 win over the Knicks.
ImpactDinwiddie missed just three of his 11 shots from the field and finished just one assist away from recording a double-double. However, fantasy managers shouldn't get overly excited about this performance. Dinwiddie is not expected to crack the starting lineup any time soon, and head coach Jason Kidd has preferred to start Quentin Grimes and Jaden Hardy with Luka Doncic (wrist) sidelined, so this means Dinwiddie's fantasy upside remains pretty limited due to his role.

P.J. Washington Jr. - Comes close to triple-doubleWashington produced 19 points (7-12 FG, 3-3 3Pt, 2-3 FT), 10 rebounds, seven assists, two blocks and one steal over 36 minutes during Wednesday's 129-114 victory over the Knicks.
ImpactEven though Kyrie Irving, Naji Marshall and Quentin Grimes led the Mavericks on offense in this win, there's no question Washington had a massive impact on this victory due to his two-way contributions. The veteran forward finished just three assists away from a triple-double, and he continues to find ways to remain productive even if he's not scoring at a high rate. Washington is averaging 17.3 points, 11.0 rebounds, 3.0 assists, 1.3 steals and 1.3 blocks per game across his last six outings while posting five double-doubles in that stretch.

Naji Marshall - Scores team-high 24 pointsMarshall provided 24 points (10-17 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds and one assist over 30 minutes during Wednesday's 129-114 win over the Knicks.
ImpactMarshall got another start at small forward due to the absence of Klay Thompson (foot), and the former Xavier standout continues to provide value as a reliable scoring weapon. He's arguably going through his most productive stretch of the season, as he's scored at least 20 points in four straight games while also scoring in double digits in six appearances in a row. Marshall is averaging 20.0 points per game while shooting 47.6 percent from deep in that six-game stretch.

Mikal Bridges - Scores 20 points in loss WednesdayBridges ended with 20 points (8-19 FG, 4-10 3Pt) and five rebounds in 39 minutes during Wednesday's 129-114 loss to the Mavericks.
ImpactBridges reached the 20-point mark for the first time since Nov. 17 -- and just for the fifth time in the current campaign. Bridges has experienced a regression compared to the numbers he posted in 2023-24 with the Nets, but that was to be expected since he also holds a minor role on offense compared to the one he had in Brooklyn. Despite that slight regression, Bridges remains a valuable player across all formats. He's averaging 15.6 points, 4.4 rebounds and 3.3 assists per game across his last 10 outings, but he's only shooting 27 percent from three in that span.
