Mitchell Robinson Plans to Play in Game 1 After Finger Surgery

New York Knicks center Mitchell Robinson (finger) underwent surgery on his broken right pinky and plans to play in Game 1 of the NBA Finals next Wednesday with a brace on his hand, ESPN's Shams Charania reports. The 28-year-old has been a low-usage piece all postseason, averaging 5.3 points and 5.5 rebounds in 14.2 minutes off the bench behind Karl-Anthony Towns. His value has always come from energy rebounding and rim protection rather than scoring, so the brace is the real question: a player whose calling card is securing the ball now has to do it with a protected hand. Even at full strength, he offers little beyond rebounds and blocks for fantasy purposes, and if the finger limits him, Ariel Hukporti is the only proven fallback at center for New York.

Mitchell Robinson Suffers Broken Pinky, Remains Without a Timetable

New York Knicks center Mitchell Robinson (finger) could be in danger of missing some time after suffering an injury earlier this week. Robinson has been diagnosed with a broken right pinky finger and remains without a timetable to return. The 28-year-old has been a key contributor as a reserve player for the Knicks. He averaged 4.5 points and 5.8 rebounds during the Eastern Conference Finals. The team hasn't shut the door on him returning for the Finals. His absence could open up more playing time for Ariel Hukporti. The Knicks would likely lean on Karl-Anthony Towns and Josh Hart, assuming Robinson misses any time. Robinson might still be able to contribute in a limited role, but being a full-go seems unlikely.

Mikal Bridges Cools Off in Game 4 Against Cavaliers

New York Knicks guard/forward Mikal Bridges contributed 15 points, three rebounds, and five assists during Monday's series-clinching 130-93 road win against the Cleveland Cavaliers. Once again, Bridges did a solid job for the Knicks, though his hot hand finally cooled off. After making at least 57% of his field-goal attempts in eight consecutive games, Bridges finished 4-for-16 from the floor. He went 1-for-8 from three-point range and 6-for-6 at the line. While Bridges' recent percentages have been unsustainable, the Knicks will be hoping he can replicate that form in the NBA Finals to boost their title chances.

OG Anunoby Active on Both Ends in Blowout Win

New York Knicks forward OG Anunoby recorded 17 points, seven rebounds, four assists, and two steals in Monday's 130-93 blowout win against the Cleveland Cavaliers. He made only one of five three-point attempts but finished a decent 6-for-13 from the field, helping the Knicks reach their first Finals since 1999. After recovering from a hamstring injury, Anunoby improved with each outing in the series, averaging 16.3 points, 5.8 rebounds, 3.3 assists, and 1.0 steals. He will compete for his second NBA championship and has some unfinished business after not seeing the floor in the 2019 Finals as a member of the Toronto Raptors.

Karl-Anthony Towns Leads Knicks in Scoring During Series-Clincher

New York Knicks forward/center Karl-Anthony Towns scored a team-high 19 points in Monday's series-clinching 139-93 blowout win over the Cleveland Cavaliers. He added a game-high 14 rebounds, three assists, two steals, and two blocks, marking his ninth double-double of the postseason. Towns was 3-for-3 from downtown and missed only three of his 11 field-goal attempts overall. The 30-year-old big man has been extremely efficient and effective with his play throughout the postseason and will no doubt play a major role in the upcoming Finals, where the Knicks face either San Antonio or Oklahoma City. Towns may prefer to face the Thunder, having had more success against them during the regular season.

Jalen Brunson Named Eastern Conference Finals MVP

New York Knicks point guard Jalen Brunson was unanimously named the 2026 Eastern Conference Finals MVP after the team completed its sweep of Cleveland with a 130-93 victory on Monday night. Brunson, who earned his third consecutive All-NBA Second Team selection over the weekend, averaged 25.5 points, 3.3 rebounds, 7.8 assists, and 1.0 steal per game against Cleveland. The 29-year-old has been among the top performers in the 2026 playoffs, leading the Knicks to back-to-back sweeps and the first Finals since 1999. While Brunson was outstanding in the Eastern Conference Finals, he still has room for improvement after making only 18.2% of his three-point attempts.

Karl-Anthony Towns Continues Playmaking Surge on Saturday

New York Knicks forward/center Karl-Anthony Towns amassed 13 points, eight rebounds, seven assists, three steals, and one block in Saturday's 121-108 Game 3 win over the Cleveland Cavaliers. The 30-year-old was efficient during his 36 minutes on the floor, finishing 4-for-9 from the field and a perfect 4-for-4 from the charity stripe. While Jalen Brunson (30 points) and Mikal Bridges (22 points) led the scoring effort, Towns continued to thrive as a high-post facilitator to help New York secure a commanding 3-0 series lead. The Knicks also got a strong contribution from OG Anunoby, who posted 21 points and seven rebounds as he continues to look fully mobile following a minor strain sustained in the previous round. Towns has significantly boosted his fantasy floor by serving as an offensive hub this postseason, averaging 6.1 assists through nine playoff games compared to his regular-season average of 3.4.

OG Anunoby Delivers Clean Shooting Line Saturday

New York Knicks forward OG Anunoby accounted for 21 points, seven rebounds, four assists, and three three-pointers in Saturday's 121-108 Game 3 win over the Cleveland Cavaliers. The 28-year-old went 6-for-10 from the field and 6-for-6 at the foul line, giving New York another efficient scoring option as it took a 3-0 lead in the Eastern Conference Finals. Anunoby's clean offensive line stands out because he did not need heavy volume to produce, and his steady minutes should keep him useful across playoff fantasy formats as the Knicks try to close out the series Monday.

Mikal Bridges Fills Box Score in Game 3 Win

New York Knicks guard/forward Mikal Bridges tallied 22 points, six rebounds, two assists, three steals, and two blocks in Saturday's 121-108 Game 3 win over the Cleveland Cavaliers. The 29-year-old shot 11-for-15 from the field, missing his lone three-point attempt and failing to attempt a free throw. Bridges has not needed heavy usage to remain productive during New York's playoff run, and this was a strong reminder that his fantasy value is not tied only to scoring. With the Knicks up 3-0 in the Eastern Conference Finals, Bridges' two-way workload should remain steady in Game 4.

Jalen Brunson Pushes Knicks Closer to NBA Finals

New York Knicks point guard Jalen Brunson scored a team-high 30 points in Saturday's 121-108 Game 3 win over the Cleveland Cavaliers. The 29-year-old shot 10-for-19 from the field and 10-for-12 at the foul line, adding three rebounds, six assists, and one steal as New York moved within one win of the NBA Finals with a 3-0 series lead. After handing out 14 assists in Game 2, Brunson shifted back toward scoring without losing control of the offense. Through three games in the series, he is averaging 29.0 points and 8.7 assists, keeping him locked into elite playoff fantasy value heading into Game 4.

Karl-Anthony Towns Records Double-Double in Game 2 Win

New York Knicks forward/center Karl-Anthony Towns recorded 18 points, 13 rebounds, one assist, and three three-pointers in Thursday's 109-93 Game 2 win over the Cleveland Cavaliers. The 30-year-old shot 7-for-12 from the field and 1-for-2 at the line, giving New York an efficient inside-out counter while Jalen Brunson shifted into facilitator mode. Towns also finished plus-18 over 36 minutes, a solid response after a quieter Game 1. With Josh Hart scoring 26 and Brunson handing out 14 assists, Towns did not need heavy usage to carry fantasy value through rebounds, efficiency, and floor spacing.

Mikal Bridges Adds 19 Points as Knicks Grab 2-0 Lead

New York Knicks guard/forward Mikal Bridges scored 19 points on a tidy 9-for-12 from the field in Thursday's 109-93 Game 2 win over the Cleveland Cavaliers, adding three rebounds, three assists, one steal, and a corner three that pushed the lead back to 13 in the fourth. The former Net rarely needed more than a clean look, converting at the kind of clip that justified the trade haul New York gave up for him. He didn't lean on volume from deep, taking just a handful of attempts after a season spent ironing out a shooting hitch that surfaced in the preseason. Bridges has settled into a steady two-way role behind Jalen Brunson and Josh Hart, and nights like this keep him a dependable source of points and steals without the boom-or-bust threes that drag his floor.

Jalen Brunson Hands Out 14 Assists in Game 2 Win

New York Knicks point guard Jalen Brunson tallied 19 points, three rebounds, 14 assists, and one three-pointer in Thursday's 109-93 Game 2 win over the Cleveland Cavaliers. The 29-year-old shot 7-for-16 from the field and 4-for-4 at the line, trading his usual scoring-heavy profile for a playoff career-high assist total as Cleveland sent extra attention his way. Josh Hart turned those openings into 26 points, while Karl-Anthony Towns posted an 18-point, 13-rebound double-double. Through two games of the series, Brunson is averaging 28.5 points and 10.0 assists, giving him a useful floor even when the shot volume dips.

Josh Hart Erupts for Playoff Career-High 26 Points in Game 2

New York Knicks guard/forward Josh Hart scored a playoff career-high 26 points in Thursday's 109-93 Game 2 win over the Cleveland Cavaliers, burning a defense that had been daring him to shoot. The 30-year-old went 10-for-21 from the field and a scorching 5-for-11 from deep, adding seven assists, four rebounds, and two steals. It was a sharp turnaround after Game 1, when Hart was benched down the stretch amid a 26.7 percent slump from three. Cleveland left him open by design again, and this time he made them pay. With Jalen Brunson, Mikal Bridges, and Karl-Anthony Towns all scoring in double figures, Hart's three-point variance is the swing factor in his line. The threes won't always fall like this, but the assists, boards, and steals keep his floor steady as New York heads to Cleveland up 2-0.

OG Anunoby Plays Key Role in Comeback Win

New York Knicks forward OG Anunoby returned from injury with a 13-point effort in a 115-104 overtime win in Game 1 against the Cleveland Cavaliers. The Knicks overcame a 22-point deficit in the fourth quarter and recorded the largest playoff comeback in franchise history, with Anunoby scoring nine of the team's 14 points in overtime. Across 34 minutes of action, Anunoby added five rebounds, two assists, and one steal to his tally. He played a key role late in the game despite finishing with a 2-for-9 record from the field. Most of Anunoby's points were scored through an 8-for-10 effort at the free-throw line. This was Anunoby's first game in two weeks, and his performance should improve in Game 2 now that he has shaken off some rust.

Mikal Bridges Remains Efficient in Game 1 Against Cavaliers

New York Knicks forward Mikal Bridges contributed 18 points, five rebounds, one assist, and two steals during Tuesday's 115-104 comeback victory over the Cleveland Cavaliers. He finished 6-for-11 from the floor, marking Bridges' sixth consecutive outing with a field-goal efficiency of 57% or better. The 29-year-old was 2-for-4 from outside and 2-for-2 at the line. After an awful start to the postseason, Bridges has once again become an important two-way contributor for the Knicks, who are looking to return to the NBA Finals for the first time since 1999. Since Game 6 against Atalanta in Round 1, Bridges has averaged 18.7 points, 4.0 rebounds, 3.0 assists, and 1.5 steals per game.

Karl-Anthony Towns Extends Double-Double Streak to Four Games

New York Knicks forward/center Karl-Anthony Towns recorded a fourth consecutive double-double in Tuesday's 115-104 Game 1 win over the Cleveland Cavaliers. The star big man had a quiet outing, but extended his double-double streak by scoring 13 points and grabbing 13 rebounds. Additionally, Towns contributed five assists, one steal, and one block, going 6-for-14 from the field. On the negative side, Towns struggled from deep with a 1-for-5 effort and committed a game-high seven turnovers. While his performance could have been better on Tuesday night, Towns has finished eight of 11 postseason outings with a double-double, providing plenty of fantasy value.

Jalen Brunson Leads Knicks to Historic Comeback Win

New York Knicks point guard Jalen Brunson poured in 38 points during the team's spectacular comeback win over the Cleveland Cavaliers in Game 1 on Tuesday. With 8:19 left in the fourth quarter, the Knicks trailed by 22 points, but they stormed past Cleveland to win 115-104 in overtime. It marks the second-biggest fourth-quarter comeback in a playoff game in the last 30 years. Brunson produced 17 of his 38 points after the third quarter. He also bagged five rebounds, six assists, and three steals in 46 minutes. While Brunson made only one of his six attempts from deep, he went over 50% from the field with a 15-for-29 effort. During a 15-point fourth quarter, Brunson missed only two of nine field-goal attempts. The star guard posted his second-best scoring performance of the postseason and appears poised to do even more damage in the series, given the Cavaliers' struggles to contain him in Game 1.

OG Anunoby Starting on Tuesday

New York Knicks forward OG Anunoby (hamstring) will start Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Finals on Tuesday against the Cleveland Cavaliers, Ian Begley of SNY reports. Due to a hamstring injury, the 28-year-old missed the last two games of the second-round series matchup with Philadelphia, but he has been cleared to return to the lineup against Cleveland. Miles McBride will drop to the second unit to accommodate Anunoby's return. Anunoby has played some of the best basketball of his career this postseason, averaging 21.4 points, 7.5 rebounds, 1.1 blocks, and 1.9 steals.

OG Anunoby is Probable for Tuesday's Game 1

New York Knicks forward OG Anunoby (hamstring) is listed as probable ahead of Game 1 against the Cleveland Cavaliers on Tuesday. Anunoby is expected to return to the court after missing Games 3 and 4 of the previous series against the Philadelphia 76ers. He was a full participant in practice last week and appears to be ready to go for the beginning of this series. Assuming he plays, Miles McBride should take a backseat after starting each of the last two games. Fantasy managers should check back ahead of tip-off on Tuesday for another update on his status.
