Evan Fournier - Hot from downtown in lossFournier finished with 24 points (9-16 FG, 6-11 3Pt, 0-3 FT), two rebounds, two assists and one steal across 37 minutes Sunday in the Knicks' 125-109 loss to the 76ers.
ImpactFournier's scoring haul tied RJ Barrett for the Knicks lead, while the former's six triples matched his third-best total of the season. The 29-year-old hasn't lived up to expectations since signing a three-year, $54 million contract this offseason, but he enjoyed a productive February and looks to be secure in a 30-plus-minute role after his playing time had been more volatile earlier in the campaign. Fournier has now played more than 30 minutes in 10 straight games, averaging 19.0 points, 4.4 treys, 3.5 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 1.3 steals during that stretch.

Immanuel Quickley - Scores 21 points off benchQuickley generated 21 points (5-13 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 8-8 FT), five rebounds, one assist and one steal across 26 minutes Sunday in the Knicks' 125-109 loss to the 76ers.
ImpactAlec Burks has taken over as the Knicks' starting point guard after New York elected to shut Kemba Walker (rest) down for the season coming out of the All-Star break, but it's been Quickley who has thus far taken advantage of Walker's absence. He paced the New York bench in scoring Sunday, making up for his inefficiency from the field with a perfect showing from the free-throw line. Despite Burks having underwhelmed while playing 34 minutes apiece in both of his games since re-entering the starting five, head coach Tom Thibodeau hasn't suggested that Quickley will be elevated to the top unit. With Walker out of the mix and Derrick Rose (ankle) and Quentin Grimes (kneecap) both likely to remain sidelined through mid-March, however, Quickley should at least benefit from a short-term uptick in playing time.
