Josh Hart Won't Suit Up Versus Minnesota

New York Knicks forward Josh Hart (personal) won't play on Thursday night versus the Minnesota Timberwolves. The former Villanova Wildcat has had a stellar year, averaging 14.1 points, 8.2 rebounds, 5.5 assists, and 1.5 steals. Unfortunately, he'll miss his first game of the 2024-25 campaign due to personal reasons. Without question, the void left by Hart's absence won't be easy to fill, although Miles McBride and Precious Achiuwa should see more minutes, making them both viable fantasy assets.

Josh Hart Iffy For Wednesday's Cup Game

New York Knicks guard/forward Josh Hart (ankle) is considered questionable for Wednesday's NBA Cup quarterfinal against Atlanta. He might miss his first game of the season because of an ankle sprain. New York's bench mob, featuring Miles McBride, Cameron Payne, and Precious Achiuwa, will likely be more involved in the game if Hart doesn't get cleared for Wednesday night. McBride offers the most fantasy value out of the three, but he's been quiet offensively in recent games, finishing back-to-back outings with eight points.

Karl-Anthony Towns Expected To Face Atlanta

New York Knicks center Karl-Anthony Towns (knee) is probable heading into Wednesday's matchup versus the Atlanta Hawks. KAT wasn't available for Saturday's loss to the Detroit Pistons. However, he was back on the floor for the win over the Toronto Raptors on Monday evening, finishing with a massive 24 points, 15 rebounds, two blocks, and two steals. But if Towns suffers an unforeseen setback, Precious Achiuwa, coming off a seven-point, six-board, two-block effort, could work his way into the starting lineup.

Karl-Anthony Towns Returns With Winning Performance

New York Knicks center Karl-Anthony Towns recorded a big double-double in Monday's 113-108 win over Toronto as he returned from a one-game absence. Towns initially struggled to score but finished the contest with a team-high 25 points and had the final five points in the game, including a three-point dagger. He finished 2-for-5 from behind the arc and shot 7-for-13 overall with an 8-for-10 record at the free-throw line. Towns' eighth consecutive appearance with at least 12 rebounds included 15 boards, six assists, two steals, and two blocks. The big man has fitted in superbly in New York and will look to help his team reach the NBA Cup semifinals next. The Knicks play Atlanta in the quarterfinals on Wednesday. Towns dominated with 34 points and 16 rebounds when these teams met for the first time this season.

Karl-Anthony Towns Questionable Monday Against Raptors

New York Knicks center Karl-Anthony Towns (knee) has been tagged as questionable for Monday's game against the Toronto Raptors while he deals with patellar tendinopathy in his right knee. Towns has been an integral part of the Knicks' success so far this season and he's only missed two games this year. He currently averages 25.2 points, 13.2 rebounds, 3.0 assists, and 2.3 threes per game. If he's unavailable for a second consecutive game, Jericho Sims would likely get the start again but Precious Achiuwa would be the better streaming option after posting six points, 10 rebounds, four assists, one block, and one steal on Saturday.

Cameron Payne Tagged As Questionable On Monday

New York Knicks guard Cameron Payne (elbow) is listed as questionable heading into Monday night's matchup against the Toronto Raptors. He's dealing with a left elbow issue which has caused him to miss the team's last two games. Over his last 12 games, he was seeing around 18 minutes per contest while averaging 9.3 points, 3.4 assists, and 1.9 rebounds per game. If he's unable to play, Miles McBride should see some extra minutes off of the bench. McBride posted eight points, two assists, two rebounds, one steal, and one block across 27 minutes against the Pistons with Payne out.

Cameron Payne Misses Second Consecutive Game

New York Knicks point guard Cameron Payne (elbow) is not ready to rejoin the lineup on Saturday against Detroit. A left elbow problem will keep Payne sidelined for a second consecutive game. Miles McBride and Tyler Kolek will get additional work off the bench on Saturday. The pair may also benefit from the fact that Jalen Brunson (back) is dealing with an injury and might not have a full workload. Kolek has yet to prove his worth as a rookie, but McBride has been performing well off the Knicks bench all year.

Jalen Brunson  • PG  •  Knicks

Jalen Brunson Available Versus Pistons

New York Knicks point guard Jalen Brunson (back) will remain in the lineup on Saturday versus Detroit. He was initially regarded as questionable for the contest due to a back issue. With Karl-Anthony Towns (knee) on the shelf, Brunson is looking at extra offensive duties on Saturday. However, with the Pistons allowing the sixth-fewest fantasy points in the league to opposing point guards, it might not be a very good night for Brunson, especially if he's not at 100 percent.

Karl-Anthony Towns Misses Saturday's Game

New York Knicks center Karl-Anthony Towns (knee) has been ruled out for Saturday's matchup against Detroit. He's dealing with a knee issue and is missing only his second game of the season. It's been a superb debut campaign for Towns in New York, and it will be difficult to replace him. Jericho Sims will start in his absence, while Precious Achiuwa and Ariel Hukporti should fill some of the minutes at the five position as well. Sims' only previous start this season resulted in a four-point, seven-rebound effort in 18 minutes.

Karl-Anthony Towns Could Miss Saturday's Game

New York Knicks center Karl-Anthony Towns (knee) is questionable for Saturday's matchup against the Pistons. KAT has had an amazing first season with the Knicks, averaging 25.2 points, 13.2 rebounds, and shooting 45.0% from deep. He's battling a knee issue, so if doesn't play versus Detroit, Precious Achiuwa, who made his 2024-25 campaign debut in Thursday's win over the Hornets, could enter the starting lineup. However, Achiuwa likely won't see much more than the 12 minutes he logged on Thursday night, meaning Jericho Sims may get more action, although not enough to justify his presence in fantasy lineups.

Jalen Brunson Uncertain To Suit Up Versus Detroit

New York Knicks guard Jalen Brunson (back) is questionable heading into Saturday's meeting with the Detroit Pistons. The former Maverick is coming off one of his best showings of the 2024-25 campaign, amassing 24 points and shooting 5-for-6 from behind the arc. But if the back contusion keeps him off the floor on Saturday night, Miles McBride will likely slide into the starting lineup and would be in line for a significant uptick in fantasy production, even more so if Karl-Anthony Towns (knee) doesn't suit up.

Jalen Brunson Questionable For Saturday

New York Knicks guard Jalen Brunson (back) is dealing with a lower back contusion and is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Detroit Pistons. The 28-year-old has yet to miss a game this season, but his potential absence could open up opportunities for Miles McBride and Tyler Kolek. Brunson has been instrumental for New York, averaging 33.8 minutes and over 25 points per game. Fantasy managers should stay tuned for updates on his availability closer to game time.

Precious Achiuwa On Track To Return Next Week

New York Knicks forward/center Precious Achiuwa (hamstring) is getting close to his season debut. Per Kristian Winfield of the New York Daily News, Knicks head coach Tom Thibodeau has said that Achiuwa could return to the court "in a week or so." The Nigerian big man suffered a left hamstring strain just before the 2024-25 campaign kicked off. After arriving from Toronto in a mid-season trade, Achiuwa notched 7.6 points and 7.2 rebounds in 24.2 minutes with the Knicks last term. He will likely have a smaller workload this season but will be a valuable backup to Karl-Anthony Towns, and the two might even share the court occasionally.

Miles McBride Active On Monday Night Against Nuggets

New York Knicks guard Miles McBride (knee) is officially active on Monday night against the Denver Nuggets. McBride has been dealing with a knee issue that has caused him to miss the last five games for New York. His return will be welcomed as he's been one of the Knicks' best options off the bench, averaging 10.7 PPG. McBride will have a solid matchup against the Nuggets' bench on Monday. Fantasy managers and DFS managers should both find a way to get McBride into their lineups. There may be the possibility that the 24-year-old plays fewer minutes than normal after coming back from injury but he should still be productive regardless of any potential minutes limits.

Karl-Anthony Towns Available For Knicks On Monday Against Nuggets

New York Knicks forward Karl-Anthony Towns (calf) is officially active on Monday night for the New York Knicks. Towns had been dealing with a left calf contusion but will be able to gut it out. Towns has been lights out after being traded to the Knicks shortly before the preseason, averaging 26.1 PPG and 12.5 RPG to start the season. The 29-year-old has only missed one game this season and is shooting 45.8% from three. Fantasy managers need to ensure Towns is in their starting lineups as he should be expected to have a good game against a familiar opponent from his time in Minnesota. Expect high production from KAT yet again on Monday night.

Karl-Anthony Towns Questionable For Meeting With Nuggets

New York Knicks center Karl-Anthony Towns (calf) might have to sit out his second game of the season on Monday versus Denver. He has landed on the injury report with a left calf contusion and is sporting a questionable tag. Towns has looked excellent with the Knicks, averaging 26.1 points and 12.5 rebounds, and it would be fun to watch him in his current form going up against Nikola Jokic. However, it seems we may have to settle for watching Jericho Sims and Ariel Hukporti battle against the reigning MVP. Additionally, Towns' absence would provide a usage boost for the rest of the first unit.

Miles McBride Questionable To Face Jazz

New York Knicks guard Miles McBride (knee) remains on the injury report as questionable ahead of Saturday's meeting with Utah. McBride hasn't featured in four games due to a knee problem, and there's a strong chance he remains on the shelf this weekend. Cameron Payne has had a good stretch during McBride's absence off the Knicks bench, averaging 12.0 points and 4.0 assists. He might be even more influential on Saturday because the Jazz allow the third-most fantasy points to opposing point guards this season.

Miles McBride Remains On The Shelf Wednesday

New York Knicks guard Miles McBride (knee) will sit out a fourth consecutive game on Wednesday versus Phoenix. He's recovering from left knee inflammation. Working as New York's sixth man, McBride has put up 10.7 points in 26.4 minutes this season while dishing out 2.5 assists. With him not out there, the starters carry a heavy load, with Cameron Payne, Tyler Kolek, and Pacome Dadiet getting extra work off the bench. Payne produced a 17-point, seven-assist effort in Monday's win over Washington, but it came in a blowout win, and he's hardly a reliable fantasy option. Meanwhile, Kolek and Dadiet are both rookies who are still trying to find their feet at this level.

Miles McBride Remains Sidelined Monday Against Wizards

New York Knicks guard Miles McBride (knee) has been ruled out for a third consecutive game on Monday and will watch from the sidelines as the team takes on the Washington Wizards. The fourth-year guard is dealing with knee inflammation which seems to be bad enough to cause the Knicks to take a cautious approach. Despite coming off of the bench, McBride has averaged 26.4 minutes per game this year, so his minutes will likely be split between Cameron Payne and the starters.

Miles McBride Remains Out On Sunday

New York Knicks guard Miles McBride (knee) will miss a second consecutive game on Sunday versus Brooklyn. McBride has been the first guy off the bench behind the Knicks' stacked starting five this season, averaging 10.7 points and 2.5 assists in 26.4 minutes. With him out of the rotation, Cameron Payne and Pacome Dadiet have a chance to see extra action, but neither player is a good fantasy option. The Knicks starters will likely be in for another busy night as well -- three of them logged 39-plus minutes against the Nets on Friday.
