Karl-Anthony Towns Returning on Saturday Night

New York Knicks center Karl-Anthony Towns (illness) will play on Saturday against Philadelphia. He didn't suit up for Friday's loss to the Atlanta Hawks, his third absence of the 2025 campaign. Fortunately, that trend won't continue. As usual, KAT is a must-start in all fantasy setups. Ariel Hukporti, who had eight points, 16 rebounds, and four blocks on Friday, will head back to the bench behind Mitchell Robinson (ankle), who is also available. As a result, Hukporti shouldn't be anywhere near a fantasy lineup.

Josh Hart to Miss at Least Another Week

New York Knicks guard/forward Josh Hart (ankle) has been cleared for light court work but will be re-evaluated in one week after missing time since Dec. 25 with a sprained right ankle. Hart is set to remain sidelined, keeping the Knicks' wing rotation thin. Miles McBride stands to benefit most after starting against Atlanta and logging 11 points with three three-pointers in 31 minutes, offering short-term value in deeper formats. Jordan Clarkson could also see incremental run, while fringe minutes for Mohamed Diawara and Kevin McCullar Jr. remain low-impact for fantasy purposes.

Karl-Anthony Towns Out on Friday Night

New York Knicks forward/center Karl-Anthony Towns (illness) won't suit up on Friday against Atlanta. The Knicks also won't have Mitchell Robinson (ankle), meaning the team will be extremely thin at the five. New York will play again on Saturday versus the visiting 76ers. Hopefully, KAT will feel better by then. In the meantime, Ariel Hukporti is expected to take his place in the rotation, with the 23-year-old averaging two points, four boards, and one block in three starts throughout the 2025 campaign.

Mitchell Robinson at Risk of Missing Another Contest Friday

New York Knicks center Mitchell Robinson (ankle) is considered questionable for Friday's game against the Atlanta Hawks. Due to ankle injury management, Robinson may be absent for a third consecutive contest. It's the start of a back-to-back, making it likely Robinson will be out for at least one of the upcoming two games. With Robinson sidelined, Ariel Hukporti has operated as the backup big in recent games, contributing six points, six rebounds, and one block in Wednesday's defeat to the San Antonio Spurs.

Josh Hart Sidelined for Fourth Straight Game

New York Knicks guard/forward Josh Hart (ankle) will miss Friday's game against Atlanta, extending his absence to a fourth straight contest while he recovers from a right ankle sprain. His continued absence has opened consistent backcourt and wing minutes for several rotation players. Miles McBride delivered 21 points in 26 minutes in the last game and remains a viable streamer for scoring and threes. Jordan Clarkson continues to supply bench offense, while Tyler Kolek has taken on added playmaking duties. Mohamed Diawara has started but remains inconsistent, limiting his fantasy appeal.

Tyler Kolek Elevated to Available on Wednesday

New York Knicks guard Tyler Kolek (ankle) has been upgraded to available for Wednesday's clash with the San Antonio Spurs. Despite dealing with right ankle soreness, Kolek sheds a probable tag and will be set to suit up for tonight's tilt. The 24-year-old has played in 28 games this season, averaging 5.2 points, 2.9 assists and 1.8 rebounds across 13.0 minutes per contest. During his last seven outings, he's carried a heavier workload, averaging 21.5 minutes per game. However, his time on the floor will likely keep decreasing with Miles McBride back in action.

Ariel Hukporti Available For Wednesday

New York Knicks center Ariel Hukporti (mouth) is set to suit up for Wednesday's matchup with the San Antonio Spurs. Hukporti has been cleared to play after carrying a questionable tag earlier due to sustaining a lip laceration in Monday's 130-125 win over the Pelicans. The 23-year-old could be in line to see extra minutes this evening with Mitchell Robinson (ankle) out of action. However, fantasy managers should expect Hukporti to be a non-factor in fantasy during tonight's tilt as he's averaging just 1.3 points and 2.4 rebounds per game across 20 outings this season.

Mitchell Robinson Sits Out Wednesday's Game

New York Knicks center Mitchell Robinson (ankle) won't suit up for Wednesday's matchup against Victor Wembanyama and the San Antonio Spurs. He is managing a left ankle injury and is missing a second consecutive game. Guerschon Yabusele and Ariel Hukporti (lip) are set to have larger roles behind starting center Karl-Anthony Towns, though Hukporti is listed as questionable for Wednesday night. Wembanyama's presence makes this a tricky matchup for New York's centers.

Tyler Kolek • PG • Knicks

Tyler Kolek Active Against Pelicans

New York Knicks guard Tyler Kolek (ankle) will be active on Monday against the New Orleans Pelicans, Steve Popper of Newsday reports. Since turning heads on Christmas Day with a near double-double against the Cleveland Cavaliers, Koler has sustained an ankle injury and was initially considered questionable for Monday's matchup. While Kolek has produced a few good performances lately, his workload may decrease going forward, as Miles McBride (ankle) returns from a three-week absence on Monday.

Miles McBride Cleared to Return Monday

New York Knicks guard Miles McBride (ankle) will rejoin the fun on Monday night against the New Orleans Pelicans, James L. Edwards III of The Athletic reports. McBride has been out of the lineup since Dec. 7 due to a sprained left ankle. The 25-year-old is enjoying a productive campaign, averaging a career-high 11.6 points, 2.6 rebounds, and 2.5 assists in 27.0 minutes per game. In his comeback game, McBride's workload might be limited.

Mitchell Robinson Sidelined Against New Orleans

New York Knicks center Mitchell Robinson (ankle) won't play on Monday against New Orleans. The 2018 No. 36 overall pick was on the court for Saturday's win over the Atlanta Hawks, finishing with six points, nine boards, two steals, and one block. He'll sit this one out to rest before presumably returning on Wednesday night versus the San Antonio Spurs. With Robinson out of the mix, Ariel Hukporti and Guerschon Yabusele might see more work, although neither player can be trusted from a fantasy standpoint despite the favorable matchup.

Josh Hart to Miss at Least Two More Games

New York Knicks forward Josh Hart (ankle) was already ruled out for Saturday's meeting with Atlanta. He tweaked his ankle during the win over the Cavs on Christmas. Unfortunately, Hart's absence will extend beyond Saturday's contest, with Stefan Bondy of the New York Post reporting that the 30-year-old will miss at least the upcoming games in New Orleans and San Antonio before being re-evaluated. Hart has played as well as expected throughout the 2025 campaign, averaging 12.3 points, 8.0 rebounds, 5.1 assists, and 1.4 steals. Mohamed Diawara is in line to start on Saturday, although that trend might continue for the remainder of the road trip. However, Tyler Kolek and Jordan Clarkson should benefit the most while Hart is sidelined.

Mohamed Diawara Starting on Saturday Night

New York Knicks forward Mohamed Diawara will start in Saturday's meeting with the Atlanta Hawks. Josh Hart (ankle) will miss the next few games, at the very least, after tweaking his ankle in the Christmas win over the Cleveland Cavaliers. Diawara has started once this season, amassing five points, three boards, and one steal. He's not expected to be more productive than that, with the Knicks likely leaning more on Tyler Kolek and Jordan Clarkson to fill the void in the rotation.

Josh Hart Sidelined Against Hawks Due to Ankle Injury

New York Knicks guard/forward Josh Hart (ankle) will miss Saturday's game against the Hawks. Hart exited Thursday's game early and logged 26 minutes on Christmas Day, but the team has since ruled him out. His absence removes a consistent, high-minute wing from New York's rotation. If Miles McBride (ankle) sits, Tyler Kolek and Jordan Clarkson would likely absorb additional guard minutes. Clarkson logged 29 minutes and scored 25 points last game, while Kolek posted 16 points and nine assists in 25 minutes, with production still sensitive to how New York allocates secondary ball-handling duties.

Guerschon Yabusele • PF • Knicks

Guerschon Yabusele Questionable for Christmas Action

New York Knicks forward/center Guerschon Yabusele (illness) may miss Thursday's Christmas matchup against the Cleveland Cavaliers, as the team has listed him as questionable on the injury report. The bulky Frenchman is battling an illness and has already sat out two games. Even if Yabusele shakes off the questionable tag, he likely won't have a big role in the rotation. His tenure in New York has been disappointing, with Yabusele averaging just 9.6 minutes per game across 26 appearances. Recent reports suggest that the Knicks are considering trading him before the February deadline, leaving Yabusele's future with the team in doubt.

Miles McBride Remains Out on Christmas

New York Knicks guard Miles McBride (ankle) won't suit up for a Christmas Day battle against the Cleveland Cavaliers. He remains sidelined due to a left ankle sprain sustained at the start of this month. Landry Shamet (shoulder) also isn't available for the Knicks, giving both Jordan Clarkson and Tyler Kolek a chance to make a significant mark off the bench. The duo has a favorable matchup on Thursday, as Cleveland gives up the seventh-most bench points in the NBA. McBride's next opportunity to return will be on the road against the Atlanta Hawks on Saturday.

OG Anunoby Returns to Action Thursday

New York Knicks forward OG Anunoby (ankle) has been removed from the injury report ahead of a matchup against the Cleveland Cavaliers on Christmas Day. He skipped Tuesday's loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves due to a sore left ankle. Anunoby had a big performance in this season's first meeting with the Cavaliers, notching 24 points, 14 rebounds, and three steals. Recently, he has dealt with some efficiency issues, averaging 15.0 points, 4.3 rebounds, and 1.6 steals in December. With Jalen Brunson (ankle) also back for the Knicks on Thursday, Mitchell Robinson and Tyler Kolek will be relegated to the bench.

Jalen Brunson • PG • Knicks

Jalen Brunson Available on Christmas Day

New York Knicks point guard Jalen Brunson (ankle) is not on the injury report for Thursday's Christmas clash against the Cleveland Cavaliers. The Knicks star didn't play in Tuesday's loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves due to an ankle problem. Brunson missed only his third game of the season. After he dropped 47 points in his last outing, Brunson will be expected to put on a show for the Madison Square Garden crowd on Thursday. He has had a strong month, averaging 30.3 points, 3.4 rebounds, and 7.2 assists.

OG Anunoby Ruled Out for Tuesday

New York Knicks forward OG Anunoby (ankle) won't suit up for Tuesday's encounter with the Minnesota Timberwolves. He has landed on the injury report with a sore left ankle, indicating that Anunoby isn't dealing with anything serious. It looks like the team simply wants to give him some rest before facing the Cleveland Cavaliers on Christmas Day. Guerschon Yabusele (illness) also won't play on Tuesday, making it likely that Mohamed Diawara will log his second career start. It's a great opportunity to impress for the 20-year-old rookie, but fantasy managers should tame their expectations. In his first career start, Diaward settled for five points, three rebounds, one assist, and one steal.

Jalen Brunson to Exit Knicks Lineup Tuesday

New York Knicks point guard Jalen Brunson (ankle) will miss his third game of the season on Tuesday night against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Brunson had a monster game on Sunday against the Miami Heat with 47 points, but he will take Tuesday off to manage a right ankle injury ahead of Thursday's Christmas clash against the Cleveland Cavaliers. The Knicks' backcourt is also without Miles McBride (ankle) and Landry Shamet (shoulder), giving Jordan Clarkson and Tyler Kolek significant roles in the rotation. With that said, Tuesday's matchup is a tricky one for the duo, as Minnesota typically does a good job limiting the offensive impact of guards.
