Clowney has officially been cleared after initially being listed as probable for this game. He’ll return from a four-game absence, which will likely push Ziaire Williams back to the bench after he averaged 17.5 points and 2.8 steals during four game as a starter.

Hart, who made nine consecutive three-pointers before missing one during Thursday’s defeat, has upped his fantasy output recently. Over the past two weeks, the Knicks’ forward has provided second-round value in eight-cat formats. Hart’s stat line against the Hornets only lacked a blocked shot, but that doesn’t matter much when you record five steals.

Nine of Anunoby’s ten field goal attempts on Thursday came from beyond the arc, and he made five of them. Unfortunately, the final stat line had little beyond points and three-pointers, so this was not the best night for Anunoby managers competing in category leagues. He’ll look to finish Week 22 with a more robust all-around stat line when the Knicks visit the Thunder on Sunday.

Brunson was one of the few Knicks to play well in Charlotte, and even he had some issues. The Knicks’ point guard was 0-of-6 from beyond the arc, the second time in the last six games that Brunson has failed to make a three-pointer. The overall field-goal percentage was respectable, and the 13 assists were the most in a game for Brunson since he recorded 15 in a March 6 win over the Nuggets. The Knicks will look to bounce back on Sunday when they visit the Thunder.

Saraf played 34 minutes on Wednesday and showcased his ability to affect the game as both a passer and scorer. He was one of Brooklyn’s top scorers on the night, as he used the three-point shot to his advantage. And not only did he lead the Nets in assists, but he also led all players in Wednesday’s contest in that category. Saraf has come on strong over the stretch of his rookie season and continues to put up quality numbers for a Nets team that is far from playoff contention.

Wilson recorded his third straight double-digit scoring performance on Wednesday, largely thanks to a combination of two-point scoring and free-throw production. As a result, he tied a season-high in points and continues to show some encouraging signs down the stretch of his third NBA season. However, he’s not someone fantasy managers should consider rostering.

Williams impressed on both ends of the floor in his 24 minutes of game action. Offensively, he shot the ball well from the field and produced at the charity stripe to end with a team-high in points. Yet, his activity on the defensive end is what really yielded some eye-popping numbers, specifically, how his disruptiveness led to him collecting over one-third of the team’s 17 steals. Williams has now tallied at least 16 points in four straight games and multiple steals in three consecutive games. He’s rarely playing more than half the game on most nights recently, but could be a useful streaming option in fantasy leagues.

Smith made six appearances on his first 10-day deal, averaging 6.2 points, 2.2 rebounds and 2.7 assists in 19.6 minutes per game. His best performance came against the Kings on Sunday, when he contributed 18 points, four assists, three steals and three three-pointers in 29 minutes. Smith should continue to play a role off the bench for the Nets over their next five games.

Anunoby got off to a hot start to this game, scoring 13 points in the first quarter. That surpassed his total of nine points from Sunday’s game. He cooled off over the rest of the game, but he was still able to contribute in other categories, which included his highest steal count since March 6. Anunoby will look to stay hot in Charlotte on Thursday as the Knicks kick off a four-game road trip.

Towns didn’t see his usual minutes, but he was still productive during his time on the floor. Mitchell Robinson was playing well, but the Knicks also rolled out a smaller lineup to close the game, largely to try to slow down Jeremiah Fears. Towns shouldn’t be this limited often, but he was still able to turn in a strong line. He should be back to playing his usual minutes in Charlotte on Thursday.

Brunson had his highest-scoring game since Feb. 19, which was his first game after the All-Star break. That was enough for the Knicks to get a seventh straight win. Brunson was a little quieter in the two games before this one, which came right after a one-game absence with an ankle injury. It appears that the ankle isn’t giving him anymore trouble, and he’ll look to keep it going in Charlotte on Thursday.

Etienne has reached double figures in four of his last five appearances. In Monday’s blowout defeat, he established a new career-high with 18 points, shooting 4-of-7 from beyond the arc. While the recent production has been nice, there’s no reason to consider adding Etienne in any fantasy leagues. The Nets play three more games in Week 22, so there should be a few more opportunities for Etienne to play extended minutes.

Inserted into the Nets’ starting lineup after not playing at all in Sunday’s loss to the Kings, Minott logged a team-high 33 minutes in Portland. He shot the ball relatively well, including a 2-of-4 night from beyond the arc. While Minott has put forth some very good efforts since the All-Star break, the inconsistent opportunities make it challenging to trust him in fantasy leagues fully. Chaney Johnson played 26 minutes off the bench, finishing with 12 points, five rebounds and three assists. He’s another player who has received opportunities to contribute, but not to the extent that he should be rostered in most leagues.

Williams played 24 minutes on Monday, and he finished a blocked shot shy of a complete stat line. He has started the Nets’ last three games, scoring in double figures in each. However, Williams has not played more than 25 minutes in any of those appearances, which limits his upside. There isn’t much to gain from rostering Williams at this point in the season, given the playing time.

The Nets have three new starters for Monday’s game, including Claxton, who missed Sunday’s loss to the Kings. Also in the lineup are Wilson and Minott, with the latter receiving a DNP-CD in Sacramento.

After sitting out Friday’s win over the Nets, Hart played 28 minutes in his return to the lineup on Sunday. The Knicks’ 32-point win helped keep his playing time down, but just as important has been Hart’s improved shooting. Making all three of his three-point attempts against the Wizards, he is 9-of-9 over his last three appearances. Even with the Knicks limited to three games in Week 22, Hart’s three-point shooting is a huge development for category league managers.

Limited to 17 points on 7-of-19 shooting in Friday’s win over the Nets, Brunson was better against the Wizards. The overall stat line was a bit lean, with the four assists being the fewest in a game for him since February 27. However, the Knicks kept Brunson on the bench for most of the fourth quarter, giving their star guard a little more rest. The Knicks return to action on Tuesday against the Pelicans.

After a disappointing performance in Friday’s win over the Nets, with Towns being one of the few positives, the Knicks were far more focused on Sunday. And KAT had another good night, finishing with his second straight game of at least 25 points and 15 rebounds.

Traoré has scored in double figures in three straight games, with the 17 points in Sacramento being the most in a game for him since March 1. Just as important for the rookie point guard was the turnover count. After rolling up ten in losses to the Warriors and Knicks, Traoré was responsible for just two on Sunday. As long as he’s healthy, Traoré should have every opportunity to run the team. He isn’t a must-add, but the rookie is worth considering in deep leagues, especially with the Nets playing four games in Week 22.

While Saraf still has work to do as a perimeter shooter, as evidenced by his 0-of-6 night from three, he was highly efficient inside of the arc. The rookie guard shot 10-of-14 from two, while also providing solid value in assists and steals. Nolan Traoré remains the starting point guard, but Egor Dëmin (foot) being out for the rest of the season has opened up more opportunities for Saraf.

A starter in Brooklyn’s last two games, Williams has totaled 35 points, six rebounds, four assists, three steals, one blocked shot and four three-pointers in losses to the Knicks and Kings.

The Nets play in Portland on Monday, and Williams may be worth a look in deep leagues if Clowney misses another game.
