The Los Angeles Lakers got a steal with rookie sharpshooter Dalton Knecht, who could be the best first-year player in the NBA right now after erupting for a career-high 37 points and tying an NBA record with nine three-pointers in LA's sixth straight win on Tuesday night at Crypto.com Arena.
- Knecht lights up Utah Jazz, missing only four shots en route to 37 points
- Rookie of the Year? Too early?
- Knecht to take Rui Hachimura's spot in the starting lineup?
- Lakers are red-hot, heading into a tough stretch of games
- Brutal schedule: Orlando Magic, Denver Nuggets, @ Phoenix Suns, @ San Antonio Spurs and Oklahoma City Thunder
