It's great news for anyone who has Rose in DFS, as the minutes with the starting unit is a sure boost to his value. Elfrid Payton shouldn't be in any DFS lineups anymore as it has become clear Rose is the preferred point guard in New York. Rose is currently averaging 38 minutes per game, scoring 21.5 points with 4.5 rebounds and 4.5 assists thus far in the playoffs.

Rose is the only reason why the Knicks were down by 12 points at halftime and not at least 20 points. After entering the game at about the seven-minute mark of the first quarter, Rose played just about the rest of the first half (39 minutes in total), dropping 14 first half points, including a few crucial baskets when it looked like the Hawks might run away with the game.
