Jalen Brunson Out Versus The Nets

Brooklyn Nets guard Jalen Brunson (ankle) won't play on Sunday versus the Nets. The Knicks will enter the playoffs as the No. 3 seed in the Eastern Conference. As expected, the team will give Brunson the day off to rest after appearing in consecutive contests on Thursday and Friday. Without him, Miles McBride, averaging 13.7 points, 1.1 steals, and 43.6% shooting from behind the arc in nine starts this season, should see a bump in DFS production, especially with Karl-Anthony Towns (knee), OG Anunoby (thumb), and Josh Hart (knee) also ruled out.

Karl-Anthony Towns Out Against Brooklyn

New York Knicks center Karl-Anthony Towns (knee) won't play on Sunday against Brooklyn. He was listed as questionable. However, not many expected to see KAT on the floor. Jalen Brunson (ankle), Josh Hart (knee), and OG Anunoby (thumb) also won't suit up, meaning DFS managers could see increased production from Precious Achiuwa, Landry Shamet, Cameron Payne, and Miles McBride.

Jalen Brunson Available For Friday's Matchup With Cleveland

Kristian Winfield of the New York Daily News reports that guard Jalen Brunson (ankle) is available for Friday's matchup with the Cleveland Cavaliers. OG Anunoby (thumb) and Josh Hart (knee) are also in, while Karl-Anthony Towns (knee) is out. One thing to consider for fantasy managers is that Brunson sits at 64 games played right now, so he only needs one more game to qualify for regular season awards and All-NBA teams. He's averaged 19.0 points, 7.0 assists and 1.7 rebounds in 33.7 minutes across three outings after a 15-game absence due to an ankle injury.

OG Anunoby, Josh Hart Will Play On Friday

New York Knicks forwards OG Anunoby (thumb) and Josh Hart (knee) will play on Friday against the Cavaliers. Anunoby and Hart weren't available for Thursday's loss to the Detroit Pistons. As a result, Miles McBride and Precious Achiuwa moved into the starting lineup, with the duo combining for 30 points, 12 boards, nine assists, six steals, and three blocks. While the absence of Karl-Anthony Towns (knee) should keep them involved, they aren't expected to be nearly as productive for DFS managers.

Karl-Anthony Towns Ruled Out Versus Cleveland

New York Knicks center Karl-Anthony Towns (knee) won't play on Friday against Cleveland. KAT had 25 points, 10 boards, five assists, and one steal in Thursday's loss to the Pistons. He also had seven turnovers. However, as some expected, Towns will get the night off. Mitchell Robinson, who had 14 points and 14 rebounds while filling in for Towns in the April 1 win over the 76ers, will move into the starting lineup.

Josh Hart Considered Questionable Against Cavaliers On Friday

New York Knicks forward Josh Hart (knee) is one of four starters listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. According to head coach Tom Thibodeau, Hart, OG Anunoby (thumb), Jalen Brunson (ankle), and Karl-Anthony Towns (knee) are all considered game-time decisions. The Cavaliers are resting a couple of players since they have the East locked up, but the Knicks are only one game ahead of the Indiana Pacers for the third seed. If Hart can't suit up, Mikal Bridges and P.J. Tucker will likely soak up some of those minutes. Tucker shouldn't be considered for a streaming option or value play in DFS after registering just three points and six rebounds across 27 minutes in their last game.

OG Anunoby Considered A Game-Time Decision Against Cavaliers

New York Knicks forward OG Anunoby (thumb) has been listed as questionable for Friday's contest with the East-leading Cleveland Cavaliers. He's a true game-time decision according to head coach Tom Thibodeau, along with Karl-Anthony Towns (knee), Jalen Brunson (ankle), and Josh Hart (knee). Anunoby was forced to miss their last game due to the same thumb sprain that he's dealing with now. If he's unable to play again, Mikal Bridges would likely soak up a lot of minutes while P.J. Tucker and Landry Shamet get some more run off of the bench. Tucker clocked 27 minutes in their last game and registered three points and six rebounds, so finding a streaming option may be better elsewhere.

Jalen Brunson Questionable On Friday Against Cavaliers

New York Knicks guard Jalen Brunson (ankle) has been given a questionable status for Friday's matchup with the Cleveland Cavaliers. Head coach Tom Thibodeau stated that he's a game-time decision along with OG Anunoby (thumb), Josh Hart (knee), and Karl-Anthony Towns (knee). One thing to consider for fantasy managers is that Brunson sits at 64 games played right now. That means he only needs one more game to qualify for regular season awards and All-NBA teams. If they hold him out of this one, he does have one more game to play. In that case, Miles McBride and Cameron Payne could both be solid options. McBride posted 12 points, six assists, two rebounds, and four steals alongside Brunson in their last game.

Karl-Anthony Towns A Game-Time Decision On Friday

New York Knicks center Karl-Anthony Towns (knee) has been listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. Head coach Tom Thibodeau clarified that Towns is a game-time decision, as well as OG Anunoby (thumb), Jalen Brunson (ankle), and Josh Hart (knee). With four of the starting five considered game-time decisions, the Knicks' lineup could look drastically different by the time they tip off. If Towns doesn't suit up, Precious Achiuwa would be the best value play for DFS lineups. In 40 minutes during their last game, Achiuwa posted 18 points, 10 rebounds, three assists, two steals, and three blocks.

Josh Hart Will Not Play Thursday Night

New York Knicks guard/forward Josh Hart (knee) will exit the lineup for Thursday's encounter with the Detroit Pistons. New York's ironman will receive a rare off night against the Pistons following a 48-minute outing in Tuesday's overtime loss to the Boston Celtics. Thursday's game marks the first leg of a back-to-back for the Knicks, so there's a good chance Hart will rejoin the fun on Friday night against the Cleveland Cavaliers. With OG Anunoby (thumb) and Mitchell Robinson (ankle) also on the shelf against Detroit, Precious Achiuwa, Miles McBride, and Landry Shamet are expected to pick up more work.

OG Anunoby Out On Thursday

New York Knicks forward OG Anunoby (thumb) has been ruled out for Thursday's contest against the Detroit Pistons. He will miss his first game since Feb. 20 due to a thumb sprain. Josh Hart (knee) and Mitchell Robinson (ankle) have also been ruled out for Thursday's action, which should significantly increase Precious Achiuwa's playing time. Miles McBride and Landry Shamet are also expected to receive more opportunities in a favorable fantasy matchup against a team that ranks eighth in pace while holding a mediocre defensive rating.

Jalen Brunson Available For Tuesday's Meeting With Celtics

Sean Grande of NBC Sports Boston reports that New York Knicks guard Jalen Brunson (ankle) will suit up Tuesday against the Boston Celtics. He missed a month of action after spraining his ankle during the March 6 loss to the Lakers. Fortunately, the All-Star was cleared to return for Sunday's win over the Suns, finishing with 15 points and six rebounds. It will likely take him another few games to shake off any residual rust. Despite the upside typically, Brunson may not be the safest option for DFS managers for tonight's contest.

Miles McBride  • PG  •  Knicks

Miles McBride Likely To Play Against Celtics

New York Knicks guard Miles McBride (groin) is listed as probable for Tuesday's big tilt against the Boston Celtics. On Sunday against the Phoenix Suns, McBride returned to action following an eight-game absence, but he is still listed on the injury report with a groin problem. If McBride is dealt a setback ahead of Tuesday's action and can't play, Cameron Payne will pick up additional minutes off the bench. However, with Jalen Brunson (ankle) back in action, the rest of the Knicks' guards do not hold much fantasy value.

Jalen Brunson Probable For Tuesday Evening

New York Knicks guard Jalen Brunson (ankle) is expected to play on Tuesday against the Celtics. He missed a month of action after spraining his ankle during the March 6 loss to the Lakers. Fortunately, the All-Star was cleared to return for Sunday's win over the Suns, finishing with 15 points and six rebounds. It will likely take him another game or two to shake off any residual rust. As such, Brunson may not be the safest option for DFS managers despite the obvious upside.

Jalen Brunson Officially Back Versus Phoenix

New York Knicks guard Jalen Brunson (ankle) is officially active for Sunday's matchup with the Suns. He's been sidelined for a month after tweaking his ankle during the March 6 loss to the Los Angeles Lakers. Miles McBride (groin), Cameron Payne (ankle), and most recently, Delon Wright, had been filling in. However, even though Brunson could see limited action in his first game back from the lengthy layoff, he should handle most of the minutes at the one, leaving little room for involvement from anyone else.

Mitchell Robinson  • C  •  Knicks

Mitchell Robinson Ruled Out Versus The Hawks

New York Knicks center Mitchell Robinson (ankle) won't play on Saturday against the Hawks. The Knicks will play the Suns on Sunday. As a result, he's expected to return for the second game of back-to-back outings. Karl-Anthony Towns will remain in the middle, as expected. However, Robinson's absence should mean Precious Achiuwa will see at least 20 minutes of action, with the former Raptor amassing 13 points, six rebounds, two blocks, and one steal in Wednesday's loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers.

Cameron Payne  • PG  •  Knicks

Cameron Payne Back On Saturday

New York Knicks guard Cameron Payne (ankle) will return from his four-game absence for Saturday's game against Atlanta. It's unknown if he'll see fewer minutes in his first game back from the layoff. But with Jalen Brunson (ankle) and Miles McBride (pelvis) still out, Payne will come off the bench behind Delon Wright, likely resulting in less work for Tyler Kolek and Landry Shamet, with the latter posting double-digit scoring outings in three of the Knicks' previous four contests.

Jalen Brunson Out On Saturday, Expected To Play On Sunday

New York Knicks guard Jalen Brunson (ankle) won't play on Saturday against the Hawks. However, according to Stefan Bondy of the New York Post, he's expected to return from his month-long absence on Sunday versus the Suns. Fortunately, Cameron Payne (ankle) is available and will come off the bench, likely meaning significantly less work for Landry Shamet and Tyler Kolek. Delon Wright, averaging 7.5 points, 5.0 assists, and 1.7 steals in six starts this season, will remain with the first five.
Apr 5   
Cameron Payne  • PG  •  Knicks

Cameron Payne Questionable Versus Atlanta

New York Knicks guard Cameron Payne (ankle) is questionable for Saturday's meeting with the Hawks. Payne had been filling in at the one spot in place of Jalen Brunson (ankle) and Miles McBride (pelvis). Unfortunately, he sprained his ankle in the March 26 matchup with the Los Angeles Clippers and has missed the last four games. Brunson has a chance to suit up on Saturday after missing nearly a month. Yet, if Brunson remains on the shelf and Payne can play, the latter would be worth considering for fantasy purposes, especially if he starts over Delon Wright.

Miles McBride  • PG  •  Knicks

Miles McBride Still Out On Saturday

New York Knicks guard Miles McBride (groin) remains out on Saturday against Atlanta. He has missed the last seven games because of a pelvic contusion. But it appears McBride is inching closer to a return, with Stefan Bondy of the New York Post reporting that the 24-year-old participated in Friday's practice session. With Jalen Brunson (ankle) also close to returning, it appears McBride will head back to the bench once he's cleared to suit up. As a result, he likely won't offer much from a fantasy standpoint once he's back on the court.
