Landry Fields scored just two points on 1-of-5 shooting with eight rebounds, two assists, and three steals in 24 minutes on Monday.
Fields has been awfully quiet lately, but with Amare Stoudemire possibly out for the rest of the year and the Knicks accumulating injuries, he'll be a guy to watch this week.

Landry Fields was just about the only Knick not invited to the party on Wednesday, scoring just one of New York's 121 points, but did add three rebounds and three steals in the blowout victory.
New coach Mike Woodson did little to give any clarity on the Knicks backcourt situation, as Iman Shumpert, J.R. Smith, Steve Novak and Baron Davis all played 17 or more minutes (Fields played 22). However, tonight's game was an absolute blowout, which makes it tough to see how the rotation might look in a "real game." While he will likely score more than he did tonight on most nights, the lack of minutes and his inconsistent play don't make him an attractive fantasy option.

Carmelo Anthony hit 6-of-12 shots and three 3-pointers on his way to 16 points, two rebounds, seven assists and a steal in Wednesday's easy win over the Blazers.
Not a bad day for Melo, as he sent his coach packing and played pretty well in a blowout win. If new coach Mike Woodson stays true to form, a lot of isolation plays could be heading Melo's way soon. Amare Stoudemire hit 8-of-10 shots for 17 points and eight boards, but didn't have a block tonight, but both players should be trending up with Woodson in for Mike D'Antoni.

Landry Fields scored 12 points on 5-of-11 shooting (no threes) with four rebounds, three assists, one steal, and one block in 28 minutes on Monday.
Fields has posted some useful lines lately but we're still concerned about the log-jam and general disarray in New York. Give him a look, but don't add him expecting a consistent result.

Landry Fields had 13 points, three rebounds and two steals in Sunday's loss to the 76ers.
Fields posted 18 points on Friday night, but it's hard to get too excited about him knowing that at any point in time the likes of J.R. Smith, Iman Shumpert or Steve Novak could receive the bulk of his minutes. He played 33 minutes today, but it's not a lock that he will play that much every game. We need to see a few more games like this before recommending him in 12-team leagues.

Landry Fields hit 9-of-12 shots from the field in his return to the starting lineup on Friday, scoring 18 points with seven rebounds, three assists, a steal, and a block in 37 minutes.
The Knicks started a very small lineup and the game was played at an incredibly fast pace, so we're throwing out most of what we saw for evaluation purposes. We're pretty bearish on the idea of adding Fields in 12-team leagues after tonight.

Landry Fields had four points, 10 rebounds and four assists on Tuesday, but played just 20 minutes despite starting.
With J.R. Smith and Iman Shumpert around, this might be as good as it gets for Fields. If you are still holding him, check out your waiver wire to make sure there's not a better option sitting there.

Landry Fields played just 15 minutes during the Knicks overtime loss to the Celtics on Sunday and scored three points.
It might be time to cut bait on Fields. Every player off the Knicks bench played more minutes than Fields on Sunday, and that is something that will likely to continue going forward. With Iman Shumpert back and healthy, and the emergence of Steve Novak and J.R. Smith, there are simply not enough minutes to go around for Fields.

Landry Fields was 1-of-6 for two points and three assists in 20 minutes of Wednesday's win over the Cavaliers.
Fields has really cooled off over his last two games, totaling 10 points on 5-of-15 shooting, but had scored in double figures in the three games prior. Consider this a slump, but it's also not a coincidence that Carmelo Anthony is back to form, J.R. Smith is getting heavy minutes off the bench, and Iman Shumpert returned from a knee injury tonight. It's simply too crowded at the wing positions in New York, and we'd look to drop Fields for a hot free agent now that they're all healthy.

Landry Fields double-doubled in the Knicks' loss to the Nets on Monday, scoring 10 points on 5-of-10 shooting (no threes) with 11 rebounds, one assist, and one steal in 32 minutes.
Fields is likely to keep his starting job, in part because of his chemistry with Jeremy Lin, but the acquisition of J.R. Smith didn't do anybody any favors in New York. Consider this a sell-high moment.
