Mikal Bridges Does It All For Knicks In Game 4 Victory

New York Knicks guard/forward Mikal Bridges was highly influential in Monday's 121-113 win against the Boston Celtics in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference semifinals, stuffing the stat sheet in 44 minutes. He struggled to find his range from outside, finishing only 1-for-6 on his three-point attempts, but Bridges had 23 points with 11-for-21 shooting from the field and tallied seven rebounds, three assists, four steals, and one block. 14 of Bridges' 23 points came in the second half as the Knicks managed to pull themselves out of an 11-point deficit. Bridges' defense has made a big impact in the series, as he has snagged multiple steals in all four games, and the 28-year-old has also done well in other areas, averaging 14.3 points, 5.8 rebounds, and 4.3 assists.

Jalen Brunson Leads Knicks With 39 Points Monday Night

New York Knicks point guard Jalen Brunson scored a team-high 39 points on 14-for-25 shooting in Monday's 121-113 victory against the Boston Celtics. With Brunson leading the way, the Knicks staged another second-half comeback and are now only one win away from the Conference Finals. On Monday night, Brunson also celebrated his second double-double of the postseason, dishing out 12 assists. He grabbed five rebounds and had only one turnover in 40 minutes on the floor, hitting 4-for-8 from downtown and 7-for-9 at the free-throw line. It has been a great series for Brunson, who has shot 41.2 percent against the Celtics from three-point range, while averaging 28.0 points, 4.0 rebounds, and 7.8 assists.

Karl-Anthony Towns Not On The Injury Report For Game 4

New York Knicks center Karl-Anthony Towns (finger) is not listed on the injury report heading into Monday's showdown with the Celtics. KAT suffered an injury to his left ring finger in Game 3 on Saturday. Fortunately, he practiced in full on Sunday. Towns had only 14 points in Game 1. However, he combined for 42 points and 32 boards in the Knicks' previous two contests. Of course, anything can happen, so there is still a chance Towns could pop up on the injury report. If he can't play on Monday night, Mitchell Robinson, averaging 5.0 points, 7.7 rebounds, and 1.0 steals during the series, would likely enter the starting lineup, with Precious Achiuwa the favorite to come off the bench in relief.

Josh Hart Leads All Scorers With 23 Points In Game 2 Against Celtics

New York Knicks guard/forward Josh Hart emerged as a surprising top scorer in Game 2 against the Boston Celtics on Wednesday night, putting up 23 points on 9-for-15 shooting in a 91-90 victory. While most superstars struggled for efficiency, Hart was extremely effective, contributing in other areas as well. He recorded a team-high two blocks and grabbed six rebounds, while also delivering three assists. Hart, who went 3-for-6 from behind the arc, failed to extend his double-double streak to three games, but he will still be happy with his effort. The Knicks are now 2-0 in the series as they head home and must be confident about securing a spot in the Conference Finals, with Hart making an impact all over the court. He has averaged 13.5 points, 8.6 rebounds, 5.1 assists, and 1.4 steals in these playoffs.

Mikal Bridges Makes Late Impact Again

New York Knicks guard/forward Mikal Bridges put up 14 points and had seven rebounds, five assists, and three steals in Wednesday's dramatic 91-90 Game 2 victory against the Boston Celtics. After making a big impact late in the series opener, Bridges once again played a pivotal part in another comeback win, scoring all of his 14 points in the fourth quarter, which the Knicks won by 13. Bridges, who shot 6-for-18 from the field and 2-for-8 from downtown, completed his 43-minute shift with a steal in the final seconds to deny Boston a chance to win the game. The 28-year-old has battled inconsistency in the postseason, but Bridges has been a big part of New York's success. He has averaged 14.9 points, 5.4 rebounds, 2.9 assists, 1.1 blocks, and 1.9 steals in 40.0 minutes.

Karl-Anthony Towns Turns It Around In Game 2

New York Knicks center Karl-Anthony Towns had a double-double in the win over the Celtics on Wednesday evening. After getting in foul trouble in Game 1 and finishing with only 14 points, KAT had 21 points in Game 2, adding 17 rebounds and one block. While Towns has been streaky throughout the postseason, he averaged 21.5 points and 11.5 rebounds in two meetings with the Celtics during the regular season, so it appears he has an excellent chance to keep things going on the scoring end in Game 3 on Saturday afternoon.

Jalen Brunson Leads The Knicks To Another Win

New York Knicks guard Jalen Brunson had 17 points in the postseason win over the Celtics on Wednesday night. He added seven assists, three rebounds, and one block. The 28-year-old had 29 points in Game 1. While he cooled off in this one, he stepped up when it mattered the most, helping the Knicks come from behind to put New York up 2-0 in the series. Both clubs will head to Madison Square Garden for Game 3 on Saturday afternoon. With that in mind, Brunson averaged 31.5 points and 7.5 assists at home in two meetings with the Celtics during the regular season, so he's certainly worth considering for DFS lineups.

OG Anunoby Leads Knicks Comeback Monday Night

New York Knicks forward OG Anunoby played a vital role in Monday's comeback victory against the Boston Celtics. The Knicks were limited to 45 first-half points but won the game 108-105 in overtime after dominating the second half. 20 of Anunoby's game-high tying 29 points came in the second half, and he also made key plays defensively. Over 46 minutes of action, Anunoby added four rebounds, three assists, and one steal to his tally while shooting 10-for-20 from the field and 6-for-11 from behind the arc. Anunoby's performances were inconsistent during the first-round series against the Detroit Pistons, but he appears to have found his mojo recently, averaging 23.3 points with 52 percent three-point shooting over his last three outings.

Jalen Brunson Bags 29 Points With Five Triples

New York Knicks point guard Jalen Brunson had a 29-point outing as the team opened the Eastern Conference semifinals against the Boston Celtics with a 108-105 overtime win on Monday night. His efficiency was slightly down, as Brunson finished 9-for-23 from the field, but he shot an impressive 5-for-9 from three-point range. Three of Brunson's three-point makes came in the fourth quarter, which the Knicks won by nine points to send the game into overtime. Although Brunson ended the extra frame without scoring, he would have been pleased with his night's work. The star guard rounded out his line with four rebounds, five assists, and two steals. Boston must do a better job of limiting Brunson's impact to avoid going down 2-0 in the series on home court Wednesday night.

Mitchell Robinson Questionable For Game 4 Versus Detroit

New York Knicks center Mitchell Robinson (illness) is questionable for Saturday's postseason clash with the Pistons. Robinson isn't feeling well, resulting in his absence from Saturday's practice. The 26-year-old no longer has a minutes restriction, according to head coach Tom Thibodeau. Still, he hasn't done much for DFS managers outside of his rebounding efforts, totaling only eight points in the first three games of the series. If Robinson can't suit up, Precious Achiuwa will likely see more minutes. Still, Thibodeau will presumably continue to run his starting lineup into the ground, leaving little room for anyone else to get involved.

Jalen Brunson Drops 30 Points In Game 3

New York Knicks guard Jalen Brunson registered another 30-point game en route to a 118-116 win in Game 3 over the Detroit Pistons. The Villanova product finished the game with 30 points, nine assists, seven rebounds, one block, and one turnover. He shot 9-for-20 from the floor, 1-for-7 from beyond the arc, and 11-for-13 from the charity stripe. His three-point shooting has left a lot to be desired through three games (29.2%), but his ability to get to the rim and to the free-throw line has allowed him to average a red-hot 33.7 points per game. He'll look to keep up his scoring ways in Game 4 on Sunday.

Karl-Anthony Towns Leads All Scorers In Game 3 Victory

New York Knicks center Karl-Anthony Towns posted his best offensive performance of the first-round series on Thursday. The former Timberwolf registered 31 points, eight rebounds, one assist, one steal, and two blocks while shooting 10-for-18 from the floor and 4-for-8 from three. After dropping Game 2 at home, the Knicks needed this two-point victory to gain their home-court advantage again. This game bumped Towns' averages up to 21.3 points, 8.3 rebounds, 2.0 assists, 1.7 steals, and 1.7 blocks per game. Game 4 tips off on Sunday in Detroit before returning to New York for at least one game.

Jalen Brunson Leads All Scorers With 37 Points In Monday's Loss

New York Knicks point guard Jalen Brunson put up a game-high 37 points on 12-for-27 shooting in Monday's 100-94 Game 2 loss to the Detroit Pistons. Brunson made it back-to-back 30-point efforts to start the 2025 postseason, but he failed to lead his team to victory this time around. The two-time All-Star finished 4-for-12 from downtown and shot 9-for-11 from the free-throw line, wrapping things up with three rebounds, seven assists, and two steals across 44 minutes of action. For the second game in a row, Brunson briefly exited the contest in the fourth quarter, which is slightly concerning. However, even if he is dealing with some ailment, it certainly isn't affecting his performance. Through the first two games of the series, Brunson has averaged an impressive 35.5 points along with 7.5 assists.

Josh Hart Back In Knicks Lineup Saturday

New York Knicks guard/forward Josh Hart (knee) has been taken off the injury report ahead of the postseason and will participate in Game 1 against the Detroit Pistons on Saturday. Hart missed two of the last three regular-season games to manage a right knee injury. He had a heavy workload once again this year, averaging 37.6 minutes per game, the second-highest mark in the league. The 30-year-old notched 13.6 points, 9.6 rebounds, 5.9 assists, and 1.5 steals over the year, setting a new franchise record with nine triple-doubles in a season.

OG Anunoby Good To Go For Game 1

New York Knicks forward OG Anunoby (thumb) will suit up for Saturday's matchup against the Detroit Pistons. Due to a right thumb sprain, Anunoby sat out two of the final three regular-season games, but the team has not listed him on the injury report ahead of Saturday's Game 1. Anunoby had higher offensive usage late in the regular season and averaged a career-high 18.0 points for the year. But fantasy managers should not expect similar postseason numbers with Jalen Brunson (ankle) back in the lineup.

Jalen Brunson Available For Saturday's Game 1

New York Knicks point guard Jalen Brunson (ankle) is not listed on the injury report ahead of Saturday's Game 1 against the Detroit Pistons. The savvy guard battled an ankle sprain during the final few weeks of the regular season and skipped the regular-season finale on Sunday against the Brooklyn Nets. Prior to that, Brunson featured in four consecutive games, so he should be in top shape for the postseason. In the first-round series against Detroit, Brunson will square off against Cade Cunningham in a fascinating head-to-head battle. The Knicks star notched 28.3 points and 7.8 assists with 41.9 percent three-point shooting in four regular-season clashes against the Pistons.

Karl-Anthony Towns Returning To Action Saturday

New York Knicks forward/center Karl-Anthony Towns (knee) is ready to rejoin the lineup on Saturday against the Detroit Pistons. Towns has been managing a left knee injury and did not play in the last two regular-season games. However, he has been removed from the injury report ahead of the postseason. Towns met the Pistons three times during the regular season and had no trouble filling the box score. He averaged 24.0 points, 11.0 rebounds, 5.0 assists, and 1.3 steals in the matchup.

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.
