New York Knicks guard/forward Alec Burks (shoulder) will miss a second consecutive game on Wednesday versus Toronto. There was initially hope of him returning when the team listed him as questionable for the game, but Burks has now been downgraded to out. Burks' absence leaves the Knicks without a good scoring option off the bench. He's averaged around 15 minutes a night in the Big Apple, and Bojan Bogdanovic will have a chance to get some extra action off the Knicks bench without Burks.
New York Knicks center Mitchell Robinson (ankle) is officially available for Wednesday's matchup against Toronto. After recovering from ankle surgery, he will make his first appearance since Dec. 8. New York's defensive anchor played a massive role at the start of the campaign, but it's likely he will return with some kind of a minutes restriction, which will limit his fantasy value on Wednesday. Robinson will eat into the minutes of Isaiah Hartenstein, who's been the Knicks' starter in the middle during his absence.
New York Knicks center Mitchell Robinson (ankle) is expected to be active and available to play in Wednesday's matchup versus the Toronto Raptors. Upgraded to questionable on Wednesday morning, Robinson now moves to the cusp of a return following ankle surgery that's kept him out since Dec. 8. The shot-blocking big man is going to face minutes restrictions upon his return to the floor for the 43-28 Knicks, so he won't be a recommended fantasy option in season-long or DFS settings in his first game back, despite a matchup against a Raptors bunch allowing the seventh-most FanDuel points to opposing centers. Isaiah Hartenstein has filled in admirably down low in the Big Apple, averaging 8.1 points on 65.0% shooting from the field, 9.9 rebounds, 2.9 assists, and 2.5 combined steals plus blocks over 39 starts this season, but he has the most to lose from a fantasy perspective with Robinson back in the mix.
New York Knicks forward OG Anunoby (elbow) won't play on Monday against the Pistons. He's listed as out for management purposes. However, Anunoby will now miss his fourth consecutive contest, so his next chance to return will be Wednesday in Toronto against his former team. In the meantime, Miles McBride, who had 26 points in 48 minutes in Saturday's win over Brooklyn, will continue to see a surge in DFS potential.
New York Knicks forward OG Anunoby (elbow) is ruled out for Thursday's game against the Denver Nuggets. He didn't play against Golden State on Monday because of a flare-up in his right elbow, which he recently returned from surgery on. Precious Achiuwa may get into the starting five in Anunoby's absence. 29-year-old Josh Hart may also see some extra minutes on the court against the defending champs.
