OG Anunoby is Available to Play for Monday's Game 2

New York Knicks forward OG Anunoby (ankle) is available to play ahead of Monday's Game 2 against the Atlanta Hawks. As expected, Anunoby is cleared to play after being listed as probable on the injury report. He has been dealing with an ankle issue, but it's not serious enough to keep him out of action in this important playoff game. He should take on his usual role in the rotation during Monday's game. He finished with 18 points and eight rebounds across 38 minutes of action during Saturday's win. He's looking like a decent DFS option after nearly posting a double-double on Saturday.

OG Anunoby Tagged as Probable for Monday

New York Knicks forward OG Anunoby (ankle) is listed as probable on the injury report before Monday's Game 2 clash against the Atlanta Hawks. Anunoby hurt his left ankle in Saturday's Game 1 win, but the injury isn't expected to keep him sidelined on Monday night. On Saturday, Anunoby enjoyed a strong start to this first-round matchup, amassing 18 points, eight rebounds, and one steal in 38 minutes. He knocked down two triples with three attempts and had a 6-for-9 record overall from the field. If Anunoby has a setback and is forced to sit out Monday's action, the Knicks' bench, led by Miles McBride and Landry Shamet, will have a larger role.

Mitchell Robinson Ready for Game 1 Against Hawks

New York Knicks center Mitchell Robinson (ankle) will be in the lineup on Saturday against the Atlanta Hawks. He didn't play in New York's final two regular-season games to manage an ankle injury. Robinson has done a good job as a backup big man all season, and Atlanta knows firsthand how effective he can be. The 28-year-old made two appearances against the Hawks during the regular season, notching 7.0 points, 10.5 rebounds, 2.0 blocks, and 2.0 steals in 19.0 minutes per game.

OG Anunoby Cleared to Play Saturday

New York Knicks forward OG Anunoby (ankle) will play in Game 1 against the Atlanta Hawks on Saturday. He hurt his left ankle during the final week of the regular season and sat out Sunday's loss to Charlotte. Fortunately, Anunoby won't have to miss the postseason opener, as the team hasn't included his name on the injury report. In three regular-season clashes, Anunoby posted two double-doubles against the Hawks, averaging 18.7 points, 8.3 rebounds, 2.3 assists, 1.0 blocks, and 1.7 steals. This matchup seems to suit Anunoby, and he could be one of the stars of the series.

Jalen Brunson Available for Game 1 Saturday

New York Knicks point guard Jalen Brunson (ankle) will be active on Saturday in Game 1 against the Atlanta Hawks. The star guard has managed an ankle injury late in the season and didn't play in Sunday's loss to the Charlotte Hornets, but the team has removed him from the injury report ahead of the playoff opener. During the regular season, Brunson struggled to make three-pointers against the Hawks but was still productive on offense, averaging 29.3 points and 7.7 assists across three meetings. The three-time All-Star has regularly elevated his game in the postseason, and the Knicks will go as far as he takes them in the playoffs.

Tyler Kolek Returns to Practice Ahead of Playoffs

New York Knicks guard Tyler Kolek (oblique) returned to practice Wednesday after missing the final four regular-season games with a right oblique strain, putting him on track for Game 1 against Atlanta on Saturday. Kolek logged eight points, two three-pointers, two assists, and one steal in 12 minutes in his last outing, April 3, but he faces a crowded rotation. Miles McBride started the finale and hit four three-pointers in 24 minutes, while Jordan Clarkson remains in the mix. Kolek is a deep-league flier at best, with limited playoff role security behind Jalen Brunson.

OG Anunoby Practices on Wednesday

According to Jared Schwartz of the New York Post, New York Knicks forward OG Anunoby (ankle) participated in practice on Wednesday. Anunoby sat out the Knicks' regular-season finale on Sunday after suffering a right ankle injury against Toronto on Friday. The 28-year-old is currently listed as questionable, but fantasy managers should expect him to be available for Game 1 against Atlanta on Saturday, as he still has time to rest.

Miles McBride Exits Knicks Lineup Friday

New York Knicks guard Miles McBride (pelvic) will miss the second leg of a back-to-back on Friday against the Toronto Raptors. He contributed four points, one rebound, two assists, one steal, and one block in 19 minutes as New York beat Boston on Thursday. Jose Alvarado is likely to re-enter the rotation on Friday night, while Jordan Clarkson and Landry Shamet could also pick up extra work due to McBride's absence.

Mitchell Robinson Sidelined on Friday

New York Knicks center Mitchell Robinson (ankle) has a scheduled maintenance day on Friday and won't play against the Toronto Raptors. Due to an ankle injury, he hasn't played in back-to-backs all season, and Robinson is coming off a 19-minute shift in Thursday's win over Boston. Ariel Hukporti is set to take over as the backup center on Friday night. He will see limited minutes behind Karl-Anthony Towns and isn't worthy of any fantasy consideration.

Karl-Anthony Towns • PF • Knicks

Karl-Anthony Towns Back Against Atlanta

New York Knicks forward/center Karl-Anthony Towns (elbow) is off the injury report and expected to return Monday against the Atlanta Hawks after missing one game. His return should move Mitchell Robinson back into a reserve role and reduce the minutes available for Mohamed Diawara and Ariel Hukporti. Towns has averaged 18.2 points, 10.8 rebounds, and 3.8 assists in 28.8 minutes over his last five games and posted a 20-point, 11-rebound, 11-assist triple-double in his last outing. He remains a must-start fantasy option, while Robinson's short-term streaming value likely takes a hit with Towns reclaiming starting duties.

Mitchell Robinson Posts Double-Double as Starter

New York Knicks center Mitchell Robinson started in place of Karl-Anthony Towns (elbow) and delivered 17 points, 11 rebounds, two steals and one block in 23 minutes during Friday's 136-96 win over the Chicago Bulls. He shot a perfect 7-of-7 from the field while providing his usual defensive presence. Robinson remains a strong category league option when starting, thanks to his rebounding, field-goal percentage, and defensive stats. If Towns misses additional time, Robinson should remain a strong streaming candidate, while Ariel Hukporti could continue to handle backup center minutes.

Karl-Anthony Towns Out Friday Vs. Bulls, Mitchell Robinson to Start

New York Knicks forward/center Karl-Anthony Towns (elbow) will not play in Friday's game against the Chicago Bulls, with center Mitchell Robinson moving into the starting lineup. Robinson becomes a strong rebounding streamer after recording 12 points, 22 rebounds, two steals, and two blocks in 31 minutes in his last start. His value comes from boards and defensive stats. Jalen Brunson and Mikal Bridges could see slight usage increases, while Josh Hart may help on the glass. Robinson fits as a category specialist in standard leagues for managers targeting rebounds and blocks.

Miles McBride • PG • Knicks

Miles McBride is Available on Friday

New York Knicks guard Miles McBride (pelvis) is available to play ahead of Friday's game against the Chicago Bulls. McBride is back in action after missing Wednesday's game due to injury management reasons. He's ready to go on Friday and should resume his role as the backup guard to Jalen Brunson. McBride has only been playing minutes in the teens since returning from his extended absence at the end of March. He could see an uptick in playing time on Friday, but it's unlikely to be enough to warrant using McBride as a DFS option.

Jalen Brunson • PG • Knicks

Jalen Brunson Back in Action Friday

New York Knicks point guard Jalen Brunson (ankle) will rejoin the lineup on Friday against the Chicago Bulls. Brunson sat out Wednesday's win over Memphis to manage an ankle injury, but his name hasn't been included on the injury report ahead of Friday's game. With Brunson back on the court, we will see a lot less of Jose Alvarado, Landry Shamet, and Tyler Koler in the Knicks' rotation, especially with Miles McBride (pelvic) also expected to return. Brunson had just 12 points on Tuesday night against Houston, but he had previously impressed with two 30-point efforts in three games. On Friday, he has an ideal fantasy matchup against a defensively weak team that likes to run.

Jalen Brunson is Ruled Out on Wednesday

New York Knicks guard Jalen Brunson (ankle) has been ruled out ahead of Wednesday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. Fantasy managers and Knicks fans don't need to worry as this appears to be a maintenance day. It's the second leg of a back-to-back set, so the Knicks have elected to rest Brunson against a struggling Grizzlies squad. The Knicks' backcourt is going to be extremely thin with Miles McBride (pelvis) also sitting out. That means Jose Alvarado, Jordan Clarkson, and Landry Shamet should all see increased playing time. Out of the trio, Alvarado is the most consistent option to use as a streaming option for Wednesday's slate.

Miles McBride to Suit up on Tuesday

New York Knicks guard Miles McBride (pelvis) is available to play ahead of Tuesday's game against the Houston Rockets. It was uncertain if McBride would be able to play after he made an early exit from Sunday's game. He played 11 minutes on Sunday before leaving due to what is being called a pelvic injury. He has been cleared for Tuesday's game, but the Knicks will likely monitor him closely. McBride is recovering from sports hernia surgery, so they don't want to re-aggravate the issue. The 25-year-old guard won't be an ideal streaming option for Tuesday's slate.

Miles McBride to See Limited Minutes Sunday

New York Knicks guard Miles McBride (pelvic) will return to action on Sunday night against the Oklahoma City Thunder, Stefan Bondy of the New York Post reports. He hasn't played since late January and underwent sports hernia surgery in February. According to Knicks head coach Mike Brown, McBride will have a minutes limit in Sunday's game. McBride's return will complicate the situation for Jose Alvarado and Jordan Clarkson. Although the mid-season injury was a setback for him, McBride has had a career year in New York, averaging 12.9 points, 2.6 rebounds, and 2.8 assists in 28.0 minutes per game.

Landry Shamet • SG • Knicks

Landry Shamet to Remain Out Thursday

New York Knicks guard Landry Shamet (knee) will miss a third consecutive game on Thursday against the Charlotte Hornets. The veteran hurt his right knee last week, and it might take a bit of time until Shamet is ready to play again. In the meantime, Jordan Clarkson and Jose Alvarado have a chance to make a bigger impact in the rotation. Of the two, Clarkson has performed better in recent games, coming off a 10-point, five-assist outing against the New Orleans Pelicans on Tuesday night.

Josh Hart • SF • Knicks

Josh Hart Good to Go Sunday

New York Knicks guard/forward Josh Hart (knee) is available for Sunday's game against the Washington Wizards after missing one contest with a right knee issue. Hart should resume his usual starting role and minutes workload after averaging 15.6 points, 8.6 rebounds, 3.4 assists, and 1.8 three-pointers across his last five games. His ability to contribute across categories keeps him rostered in standard leagues. Hart's return likely pushes Mohamed Diawara back into a smaller bench role, while Jalen Brunson and Karl-Anthony Towns continue leading New York's offensive usage.

Landry Shamet • SG • Knicks

Landry Shamet Leaves Friday's Game with Knee Issue

New York Knicks guard/forward Landry Shamet (knee) left Friday's 93-92 win over Brooklyn in the third quarter and is questionable for Sunday's game against Washington after logging three points, three rebounds, two steals, one assist, and one block in 22 minutes. His absence could open rotation minutes with fantasy playoffs underway. Jordan Clarkson had nine points in 22 minutes and could be a deep-league option for scoring, while Mohamed Diawara put up eight points, seven rebounds, and five assists in 20 minutes and is more of a streamer in deeper formats.
