Knicks rested their starting five and key reserves in a lopsided preseason loss to Washington, highlighting Tyler Kolek’s surge as a scoring lead off the bench (20 points, 7-13 FG). Pacome Dadiet showed flashes but remains raw, while Knicks veterans and cap talk loom over rotation and salaries ahead of the regular season. Wizards leaned on their own veterans in the absence of stars, illustrating how preseason shuffles could shape fantasy value and roster decisions as teams finalize rosters for opening night.
