Derrick Rose scores 18 points in loss to the Hawks

Fantasy Impact:

Derrick Rose on the season is averaging 17.5 points, 4.5 assists, and 3.8 rebounds a game. Since going AWOL for the Knicks' January 9th loss to the Pelicans, Rose quickly made amends with the organization and has immediately asserted himself as the top offensive option after Carmelo Anthony while Kristaps Porzingis (Achilles) has missed the last three contests. In his four outings since the no-show, Rose is averaging 19.0 points (on 54.2% shooting), 4.8 assists and 3.0 rebounds in 31.8 minutes per game. The nine assists he delivered Monday should be treated as an outlier, but Rose will likely be a value option in DFS contests until Porzingis returns to action.
