Eligibility
The Knicks signed DaQuan Jeffries to a 10-day contract.
Fantasy Impact
Thursday was the last day the team had to get to the minimum of 14 guaranteed roster spots. Jacob Toppin was also signed to a 10-day contract.
DaQuan Jeffries is signing a second 10-day contract with the New York Knicks.
Fantasy Impact
Jeffries did not appear in a game for the Knicks during his first 10-day contract, but the Knicks will still bring him back for another 10 days. He has averaged 3.8 points and 1.9 rebounds per game in his career.
DaQuan Jeffries scored 17 points (7-14 FG, 3-10 3PT) with seven rebounds, five assists, two steals, and a turnover across 37 minutes during Saturday's 124-116 loss to the Utah Jazz.
Fantasy Impact
Jeffries earned a start in the Houston lineup on Saturday due to numerous injuries, finishing with 50 FG% and dishing five assists during Saturday's loss to the Utah Jazz. He is likely to return to a more limited role on the bench if Christian Wood (ankle), Kelly Olynyk (ankle), and Kevin Porter Jr. (ankle) can return in time for Monday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers.
Kings SG DaQuan Jeffries got his second career start Monday night where he led the team in minutes played (40), scored a career-high 18 points (5-13 FG, 2-5 3PT, 6-7 FT), added six rebounds, two assists, one steal, and one block as the Kings dropped their seventh-straight game 128-115 to the Bucks.
Fantasy Impact
Jeffries has played well when given the chance to do so. If the team continues their struggles look for Jeffries to get more playing time heading into the All-Star break. He got the start over SGs Tyrese Haliburton and Corey Joesph. Look for Jeffries to return to his supporting role on Tuesday when the Kings travel to Brooklyn to face the Nets.
Kings rookie SG DaQuan Jeffries had 17 points and was perfect from the floor (6-6 FG, 5-5 3PT) in 17 minutes off the bench for the Kings Thursday night but it wasn't enough as they fell to the Heat 118-110. It was the Kings fifth straight loss all of which came at home.
Fantasy Impact
Jeffries' hot night came on a night where the Kings needed it going 10-36 from deep as a team outside of Jeffries' 5-5. His 17 points marked a new career high and the 17 minutes tied for his most. Keep an eye on this rookie as the season progresses because if he can stay hot and other Kings guards aren't the rookie could see more time at SG.
