Grimes amassed 14 points (5-12 FG, 4-9 3Pt), nine rebounds, six assists and two steals across 38 minutes during Monday's 137-115 win over the Rockets.
The second-year guard came within one dime of recording his first career double-double. Grimes has scored in double digits in three straight games thanks to an incredible eruption from beyond the arc, as he's gone 15-for-29 on three-point attempts. That just builds on the growth in his shooting he's displayed since the All-Star break -- over the last 16 games, Grimes has averaged 2.5 threes a game while shooting 44.4 percent from long range.

Knicks' Quentin Grimes: Bounces back Wednesday
Rotowire
Grimes finished Wednesday's 127-120 loss to the Heat with 22 points (7-12 FG, 6-10 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds and one assist across 26 minutes.
Grimes was coming off five straight games with single-digit scoring outputs, but he made an unexpected impact as a perimeter shooter Wednesday. The 22 points tied his best total of the month, but aside from the three-pointers category, he offered little impact in other areas. Given his recent form prior to Wednesday's contest along with his lack of diverse statistical production, Grimes is tough to recommend as a pickup outside of deeper leagues, even while he continues to hold down a starting role.

Knicks' Quentin Grimes: Run of poor production continues
Rotowire
Grimes logged four points (1-3 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT), one rebound, one block and one steal across 20 minutes during Tuesday's 123-107 win over the Trail Blazers.
Though he continues to hold down a starting role, Grimes has been struggling to put up fantasy-friendly numbers and is starting to see his minutes dwindle at the expense of trade-deadline pickup Josh Hart. He's reached the 30-minute mark just once in his last 14 games, averaging 7.9 points, 1.9 rebounds, 1.8 three-pointers and 1.5 assists over that stretch while shooting 42.5 percent from the field.

Knicks' Quentin Grimes: Scores 22 against Brooklyn
Rotowire
Grimes racked up 22 points (8-12 FG, 6-9 3Pt), three rebounds and one assist across 26 minutes during Wednesday's 142-118 victory over Brooklyn.
Grimes was efficient from the field and posted a solid scoring line, but he didn't contribute much in other categories. Grimes has gone seven straight starts without clearing the 30-minute mark, and his numbers have declined in that span, as he's averaging just 8.0 points per game.

Knicks' Quentin Grimes: Plays 22 minutes against Nets
Rotowire
Grimes closed with eight points (2-5 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds and one steal over 22 minutes during Monday's 124-106 victory over the Nets.
Even though RJ Barrett played just 24 minutes due to an undisclosed issue, Grimes did not see a large workload in this one, as Josh Hart and Immanuel Quickley had the hot hands off the bench while Jalen Brunson dropped 40 points. Grimes' minutes and fantasy production are trending in the wrong direction because New York's trade deadline move didn't do him any favors.

Knicks' Quentin Grimes: Continues to struggle in loss
Rotowire
Grimes notched 10 points (4-11 FG, 2-7 3Pt) and four rebounds over 38 minutes during Saturday's 122-115 loss to the Nets.
Grimes continues to do very little with the time he is given, delivering another underwhelming performance. Despite starting and playing upward of 32 minutes on most nights, Grimes has been a non-factor in standard formats. He is outside the top 200 over the past two weeks, and anyone holding him can certainly be looking elsewhere if frustration is setting in.

Rotowire
Grimes contributed 10 points (3-5 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal over 40 minutes during Monday's 123-121 overtime loss to Toronto.
Grimes fared well with limited shot attempts, and he managed to score in double figures for the third time in four games. He also turned in a solid effort on the defensive end by securing a steal and a block.

Knicks' Quentin Grimes: Poor shooting in Friday's win
Rotowire
Grimes ended Friday's 112-108 win over Washington with eight points (2-10 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 3-3 FT), four rebounds, two assists and one steal over 33 minutes.
Grimes went just 2-of-10 from the floor in the victory, ending with an underwhelming performance. There were very few positives here for anyone rostering Grimes, other than the fact he played 33 minutes. His role feels relatively secure, and while he is worth a roster spot in most fantasy formats, his ceiling is limited.

Knicks' Quentin Grimes: Posts 19 points in win
Rotowire
Grimes closed with 19 points (8-15 FG, 3-8 3Pt), two rebounds, two assists, one block and two steals over 36 minutes during Saturday's 108-88 victory over Houston.
Grimes shot well from beyond the arc, where he scored nine of his 19 points on the night. He also recorded a pair of steals for his second straight contest. Grimes averaged 13.9 points, 4.0 rebounds, 2.1 assists and 1.0 steals in 14 games during the month of December.

Knicks' Quentin Grimes: Erupts for career-high 33 points
Rotowire
Grimes contributed 33 points (12-25 FG, 7-16 3Pt, 2-3 FT), six rebounds and four assists across 48 minutes during Tuesday's 126-121 overtime loss to Dallas.
With Jalen Brunson (hip) sitting out and RJ Barrett (finger) exiting early, Grimes was thrust into a larger role on the wing and responded by putting up 25 shots en route to a new career-high mark in scoring. The second-year wing has firmly established himself as a starter at this point, and he should benefit from an uptick in playing time and usage if Brunson's and Barrett's injuries force either player to miss additional time. In his 18 starts since supplanting Cam Reddish on the top unit, Grimes is averaging 12.2 points, 4.3 rebounds, 2.7 assists, 2.2 treys and 0.8 steals in 33.6 minutes per contest.

Grimes (ankle) closed Friday's 118-117 loss to the Bulls with eight points (3-11 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 0-2 FT), three rebounds, one assist and one block over 35 minutes.
Grimes returned to action Friday and started after missing Wednesday's game with a sprained ankle. He struggled from the field and missed six of his last seven shots. The 22-year-old averaged 14.6 points while making 50.0 percent of his threes in the seven games before the injury and will aim to return to that form moving forward.

Knicks' Quentin Grimes: Will play Friday
Rotowire
Grimes (ankle) is available for Friday's game against Chicago, Ian Begley of SportsNet New York reports.
Grimes sat out Wednesday due to a right ankle sprain but will be active Friday. He should be expected to return to the starting lineup and push Immanuel Quickley back to the bench. Grimes has logged 28 or more minutes in each of his last 10 games and has secured three 20-point outings in that span.

Grimes was held to six points in 32 minutes Sunday against the Pacers, but he looked like a completely different player Tuesday. He scored 12 of his 19 points from deep and also turned in his best passing night since Nov. 27 against Memphis. Grimes has now scored in double figures in five of his past seven contests, and he's reached the 20-point threshold in two of those appearances.

Knicks' Quentin Grimes: Pops for 22 points in win
Rotowire
Grimes ended with 22 points (6-10 FG, 5-9 3Pt, 5-6 FT), two rebounds, two assists and one steal in 29 minutes during Friday's 114-91 victory over Chicago.
Grimes topped 20 points for just the second time this season, continuing what has been a decent stretch of games. He has been inside the top 100 over the past two weeks, providing value as an efficient, low-volume scorer. There doesn't appear to be a ton of upside, at least while the Knicks are rolling out a relatively healthy roster, but he should at least be on the radar in 12-team leagues, given his role.

Knicks' Quentin Grimes: Back in double figures
Rotowire
Grimes had 14 points (5-8 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 0-1 FT), five rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal across 37 minutes during Wednesday's 128-120 overtime victory over the Bulls.
Grimes attempted eight shots from the field for his third straight contest but turned in his most impressive performance over this brief span. He managed to score in double figures for the third time in four contests and has shouldered a larger workload over the last few weeks. Grimes is averaging 35.6 minutes in his last five matchups after logging 19.6 minutes through his first 13 appearances of the 2022-23 campaign.
