Kennard was able to play 21 minutes off the bench on Friday but will be unavailable against Toronto. Keaton Wallace will likely make a return to the rotation, though he won’t see the floor enough to be worth streaming with the rest of the backcourt rotation healthy, sans Trae Young.

The Hawks are calling this “return to competition reconditioning”, but it’s really that they don’t want to play him on a back-to-back. Asa Newell and Mouhamed Gueye will fill out the backup center minutes behind Onyeka Okongwu.

This will be a fourth straight absence for Young, and he was immediately ruled out instead of being listed as questionable initially. It’s unclear how much longer he’ll remain sidelined, but Nickeil Alexander-Walker will remain in the starting lineup for at least one more game.

Robinson will be back after missing New York’s last three games, including Friday’s matchup with Atlanta. Karl-Anthony Towns (illness) is questionable after missing that game, but Robinson’s return will at least push Ariel Hukporti to the bench. Robinson’s place in the rotation will depend on KAT’s availability.

Towns missed Friday’s game against Atlanta and could remain out for another. Mitchell Robinson (ankle) was sidelined as well, which allowed Ariel Hukporti to start at center and for Guerschon Yabusele to fill most of the backup minutes. Robinson is off the injury report, so Hukporti won’t get another start. Robinson will start if KAT is unavailable for a second straight game.

Hart has missed New York’s last four games with a sprained right ankle, most recently sitting out Friday’s loss to the Hawks. He has resumed on-court activities and, based on the Knicks’ new timeline, will miss at least three more games. Following that, the Knicks begin a four-game road trip in Phoenix on January 9. Mohamed Diawara started the first three games that Hart missed, but Miles McBride received the nod on Friday.

With Karl-Anthony Towns (illness) and Mitchell Robinson (ankle) out, Hukporti made his fourth start of the season on Friday. He didn’t provide much value as a scorer, but the rebounding and shot-blocking were superb. It was the kind of performance that may make some question whether Hukporti can consistently fill a role similar to Robinson’s. Still, it doesn’t change anything regarding his short-term fantasy value.

Anunoby recorded his fourth double-double of the season on Friday, but he remains in a shooting slump. Over his last five games, the Knicks’ wing has shot 35.5 percent from the field. The good news for fantasy managers is that Anunoby’s overall production has preserved most of his fantasy value. However, as a top-75 fantasy player during this slump, OG would be far more valuable with improved shooting.

Bridges hit a few three-pointers during the fourth quarter that helped beef up the final stat line, but he had a rough night from deep. The Knicks’ wing shot 3-of-11 from beyond the arc, with New York shooting 9-of-40 as a team. Bridges and the Knicks will look to end Week 11 on a high note when they host the 76ers on Saturday.
NYK • Guard • #11

Brunson led all scorers with 24 points, but he needed 24 shots to get it done. The Knicks’ guard was 1-of-10 from beyond the arc, with New York shooting 9-of-44 as a team. While the Hawks deserve credit for their defensive effort, Friday was a reminder of Karl-Anthony Towns’ importance, as he was out due to illness. Brunson and the Knicks will look to bounce back when they host the 76ers on Saturday.
ATL • G • #5

Daniels took on the task of defending Knicks guard Jalen Brunson, who had to work hard for his 24 points. The Great Barrier Thief’s defensive work only yielded two steals, but that doesn’t tell the whole story. From a fantasy standpoint, Daniels dished out eight assists, and managers also benefited from the six rebounds. He’s providing top-75 per-game value in eight-cat formats, with the foul shooting (60.3 percent) being the most significant issue.
ATL • Guard • #9

Once again starting for the injured Trae Young (quad), Alexander-Walker has scored 23 points or more in three of his last four appearances. Rostered in 47 percent of Yahoo! leagues, he’s providing top-75 per-game value in nine-cat formats. Even if Young is available for Saturday’s game in Toronto, Alexander-Walker is worth considering in more 12-team leagues, and some 10-team leagues as well.
ATL • F-C • #17

It’s safe to say that Okongwu likes playing against the Knicks. After hitting six three-pointers in Saturday’s home loss to New York, he hit three more in Friday’s road victory. Over the past two weeks, he has provided third-round per-game value in eight-cat formats. Even as Kristaps Porziņģis (4/8/2/2 in 17 minutes) works his way back from illness, Okongwu’s playing time and opportunities won’t be an issue. That’s excellent news for those who have him rostered.

After recording a double-double in seven straight appearances, Johnson posted his first triple-double since December 14, which was part of a streak of four consecutive triple-doubles. While the Hawks forward has been elite all season long, it’s no secret that his fantasy ceiling is raised when Trae Young (quad) is unavailable. Not only should Johnson be mentioned among the leading candidates for Most Improved Player, but he has also played well enough to deserve a trip to the All-Star Game.

Not only will the Knicks be without Josh Hart for Friday’s game, but Karl-Anthony Towns is out with an illness. McBride, who came off the bench in his first games back from a sprained ankle, will start, bumping Mohamed Diawara to the bench. Hukporti steps in to start for Towns.

Towns wasn’t on the initial injury report, but there is a chance he misses Friday’s game. Mitchell Robinson (ankle) is also questionable and would likely start if he plays and KAT doesn’t. However, if both are sidelined, the starting job would likely fall to Ariel Hukporti.

Due to the sprained ankle he suffered during the Knicks’ Christmas Day victory over the Cavaliers, Hart did not travel for the Knicks’ three-game road trip. Friday’s game will be the fourth that he’s missed, with Mohamed Diawara likely remaining in the starting lineup. While Diawara went off for 18 points in Monday’s win over New Orleans, he did not offer much value two nights later against the Spurs.

Robinson missed the final two games of the Knicks’ road trip due to left ankle injury management. The priority is to ensure that he’s healthy for the stretch run, so the Knicks’ exercising caution is unsurprising. Ariel Hukporti may play rotation minutes off the bench, but he is not worth streaming.

The Knicks were 19-0 when leading entering the fourth quarter entering play Wednesday. New York couldn’t hold a nine-point lead against the Spurs, losing 134-132. The final score was closer than it maybe should’ve been, thanks to two threes from Brunson in the game’s last 30 seconds. The Knicks return home Friday for the first game of a back-to-back against the Hawks.

Daniels hasn’t been as highly touted in fantasy basketball this season, mostly because his steals are down and his scoring has been rough. However, he has somewhat made up for it by averaging career highs in rebounds and assists, and he nearly recorded a triple-double in this game. This was a well-rounded performance for Daniels as he continues to thrive without Trae Young in the lineup.
ATL • Forward • #1

These monster nights are becoming routine for Johnson. He missed Monday’s game with an illness, but the effects clearly didn’t linger enough to limit his production in this one. Johnson has been one of the best players in fantasy basketball this season, and while his production hasn’t been limited when Trae Young is available, he has been at his best when Young isn’t playing. He’ll look to remain hot in New York on Friday.
ATL • Forward-Center • #8

After missing Atlanta’s last 10 games with an illness, Porziņģis was available off the bench in this game. In just 17 minutes, he was able to make a large impact. His last two appearances have been weeks apart, but in both games, he poured in the points in limited action. Hopefully he’ll remain available moving forward, but his health is worth keeping an eye on. Even if he remains a reserve for Atlanta, he’ll be a highly impactful option for fantasy managers.

Young sat out Monday, and he’ll be out for a second straight game. Nickeil Alexander-Walker is expected to remain in the starting lineup. He posted a monster 30/4/5/2/1 line with six triples on Monday against the Thunder.

Porziņģis will make his return after missing nearly a month due to an illness. He’ll likely have his minutes restricted and continue to come off the bench, which is good news for Onyeka Okongwu.

Brunson finished with his fifth double-double of the season and first since December 2. And, as usual, “Captain Clutch” came up big for the Knicks down the stretch. Brunson shot 4-of-5 from the field in the fourth quarter, including a floater with just over a minute remaining that extended New York’s lead to three. The Knicks still have three games to play in Week 11, starting with the Spurs on Wednesday in the final game of their road trip.

After a first quarter in which he missed all four of his shot attempts, Anunoby flipped a switch in the second. He shot 5-of-7 from the field, with all five makes occurring in the restricted area, and scored 16 points in the period. While the overall field-goal percentage wasn’t good, Anunoby’s overall stat line was one that many fantasy managers will take. He’s only shot 35.6 percent from the field over the past two weeks, which is why he’s ranked outside the top-100 in eight-cat formats during this period.

With Josh Hart unavailable due to a sprained ankle, Diawara made his second consecutive start on Monday. And the rookie took full advantage of the opportunity, hitting four three-pointers and scoring 16 points in the first half. Diawara wouldn’t offer much production in the final two quarters of Monday’s win. Still, he’s the latest example of a young Knicks player taking advantage of the opportunity given to them by head coach Mike Brown. Hart won’t play on Wednesday against the Spurs, either, meaning Diawara will get at least one more start.

Okongwu continues to thrive with Kristaps Porziņģis sidelined due to illness and he saw his role on the offensive end of the floor expand even further in this one with the Hawks missing Jalen Johnson, who has emerged as one of the game’s premier all-around players this season, due to illness. The 25-year-old big man has scored at least 23 points in three of his last five games since December 21. He’s delivered fourth-round fantasy value this season, averaging 16.4 points, 7.8 rebounds, 3.2 assists, 1.0 steals and 1.0 blocks through 33 games.

Alexander-Walker recorded his fifth 30-point effort of the season, accomplishing the feat for the first time in nearly a month. The 27-year-old guard took on an expanded role from a scoring standpoint with Jalen Johnson sidelined due to illness, hoisting a season-high 24 shot attempts in this one.

McBride is set to play in his first game since December 7, and his timing is impeccable, as Kolek has been filling in for him as Jalen Brunson’s backup. McBride may see limited minutes in his first game back in three weeks, so fantasy managers don’t need to insert him into lineups right away.

Since scoring eight points in a November 25 loss to the Wizards, Alexander-Walker has failed to score in double figures just once. His performance against the Knicks was among the best, with the reserve guard recording his fourth 20-point game in his last six appearances. Alexander-Walker has only been an 11th-round player in eight-cat formats over the past two weeks, but he’s worth holding onto in some 12-team leagues.

Finishing one rebound shy of a triple-double is becoming a habit for Johnson, who did so for a third consecutive game on Saturday. While the Hawks have now lost six straight games, the good news for fantasy managers is that the return of Trae Young (nine points, 10 assists and two steals) has not negatively affected Johnson’s fantasy value. Over the past two weeks, the Hawks’ forward has been a top-10 player in eight-cat formats.

Okongwu put on a show on Saturday, finishing one point shy of his season-high while shooting 6-of-10 from beyond the arc. The Hawks’ current starting center finished a blocked shot shy of a complete stat line, and one of the turning points was when Okongwu fouled out with 29.6 seconds remaining. As long as the Hawks remain without Kristaps Porziņģis, it will be Okongwu’s show in the middle. Those who have him rostered can either command a sky-high price via trade or hold onto him. The latter approach may be better, especially with the Hawks playing four games in Week 11.

Anunoby may not have shot the ball as well as he’s capable of, but he came up with some huge plays in crunch time to salvage the victory. After rebounding a Jalen Brunson miss and making two free throws with 29.6 seconds remaining to give New York a one-point lead, his steal of a Trae Young pass on the ensuing possession led to two more free throws. With Josh Hart (ankle) sidelined for New York’s three-game road trip, Anunoby’s production outside of points may receive a boost. If so, that would be great for those who have him rostered.

Counting Saturday’s performance, Brunson has scored at least 34 points in three straight games. The Hawks struggled to find an answer for the Knicks’ point guard, but they aren’t the first time (or the last) to have that happen. Over the past two weeks, Brunson has provided second-round value in eight-cat formats, aligning with his Yahoo! ADP (22). It would be unsurprising if he had another big night on Monday against the Pelicans, especially if New Orleans doesn’t have Herb Jones.

For the first time in over a month, Towns has recorded a double-double in three straight games. He was outstanding against the Hawks, with 18 free throws being the most he’s attempted in a game this season. Towns shot over 50 percent from the field, and while he did not record any defensive stats, the offensive production and rebounds were elite. He’ll look to build on Saturday’s performance when the Knicks open a four-game Week 11 on Monday against the Pelicans.

The good news for Okongwu managers is that the rebounds and assists were there. Unfortunately, the field-goal percentage took a beating with his 5-of-16 night against the Heat. The issue for Okongwu was three-point shooting, as he missed all five of his attempts. Through 11 games in December, he’s shot 15-of-59 from deep, which works out to 25.4 percent. With Okongwu attempting nearly 42 percent of his shots from beyond the arc, a cold spell will significantly impact his overall shooting percentage.

Johnson finished one rebound shy of a triple-double for the second straight game, leaving his total at six on the season. The good news for those who have the Hawks forward rostered is that Trae Young’s return from a knee injury has not negatively affected Johnson’s fantasy value. Over the last week, he has ranked third in eight-cat formats, even higher than his season-long value. Johnson’s sell-high window slammed shut long ago; if you have him, hold onto the forward and continue to reap the rewards.
