Back in the Knicks’ rotation after a five-game absence, Shamet played 31 minutes without incident on Wednesday. And he had a good night shooting the basketball, making three of five attempts from beyond the arc. With Miles McBride, who did not play on Wednesday, avoiding an injury scare during Sunday’s loss to the Thunder, getting Shamet back will strengthen New York’s perimeter depth ahead of the postseason.

After totaling 35 points in the first three games of the Knicks’ four-game road trip, Anunoby put up 25 in the finale on Wednesday. Add in the rebounds and other categories, and the Knicks’ wing gave fantasy managers an excellent stat line to work with. New York ends its Week 23 with a game against the Bulls on Friday, which could be another big game for Anunoby.

For the first time in a month, Bridges has scored at least 20 points in a game. No Jalen Brunson in the lineup opened things up for the other Knicks, especially those who take a back seat offensively on most nights. In addition to shooting 66.7 percent from the field, Bridges’ three free throws were the most he’s attempted in a game since March 13. In fact, since that win over the Pacers, he totaled four free-throw attempts in the nine games that followed. Regardless of who’s on the court for the Knicks, they need Bridges to be more aggressive on offense.

With Jalen Brunson sitting out Wednesday’s game, more of the Knicks’ offense ran through Towns in Memphis. And he took advantage of the opportunity, recording his first triple-double of the season. While Towns was responsible for seven turnovers, the percentages were excellent. The Knicks end Week 23 with a game against the Bulls on Friday. Given Chicago’s lack of interior depth, fantasy managers will hope for another big night from Towns, minus the turnovers.

Alvarado gets the start for the injured Jalen Brunson (ankle) on the second night of a back-to-back. He’ll join the usual starters and will have a chance to increase his production on both ends of the floor. Jordan Clarkson could play an even bigger role off the bench.

If the Knicks want to snap a three-game losing streak, they’ll have to do so on Wednesday without their top scorer. Brunson logged heavy minutes and struggled to produce on Tuesday against the Rockets, and now will sit out the second game of the back-to-back as the Knicks face the Grizzlies.

Towns’ eight rebounds were just the second time in his last eight games that he’s had less than 10 rebounds. The 30-year-old center bounced back with 22 points after scoring 15 and 13 points in his two previous games. Towns has provided third-round per game value over the last two weeks. The Knicks have two games remaining in Week 23, starting with a matchup against the Grizzlies on Wednesday.

Brunson had his lowest scoring output in three weeks, since scoring nine points in a 39-point win over the Nuggets. The 29-year-old point guard struggled, going 5-of-14 from the field including 1-of-5 from behind the three-point line. Brunson has provided seventh-round per game value over the last two weeks. The Knicks have two games remaining in Week 23, starting with a matchup against the Grizzlies on Wednesday.

Miller got off to a scorching hot start to this game, scoring 16 points in the first quarter without missing a shot. He cooled off after that and wasn’t able to turn it into a huge performance, but it was enough for Charlotte to take a massive lead and not give it back. This came two days after he shot 5-of-13 and scored just 13 points in a loss to the Celtics on Sunday. He’ll look to keep this going into Thursday’s game against the Suns.

After a quiet performance in Sunday’s loss to the Celtics, Diabaté bounced back with his fourth double-double in his last six appearances. Diabaté continues to be a pivotal piece for Charlotte, which has led to some strong performances throughout the season, though they have come inconsistently. They’ll need him at his best entering the postseason, and he’ll look to have another double-double against the Suns on Thursday.

Bridges set a new season high for steals, and he fell one swipe shy of matching his career high. Entering this game, Bridges had a quiet stretch, and this ended up being his highest-scoring performance since March 14. He’ll continue to start and play big minutes, but his box score production has at least partially been limited by lopsided scores. That wasn’t the case in this one, and he’ll look to stay hot against the Suns on Thursday.

McBride made his return from a two-month absence with a core injury on Sunday, but he exited early with a groin injury. However, that won’t keep him sidelined for this game. He’ll occupy some of the reserve backcourt minutes, but his role will likely be too limited for him to make much of an impact for fantasy managers.

Sunday’s game was the first for McBride since January 27, as he was returning from sports hernia surgery. During a scramble for a loose ball, the Knicks guard reached for his inner thigh area. While he was able to walk back to the bench without assistance, McBride did so gingerly. He did not return to the bench after heading to the locker room, and the severity of McBride’s injury is unknown. If he heads back to the sidelines, those minutes are likely to go to Jordan Clarkson, as Mohamed Diawara’s playing time has decreased recently.

Towns has been a very consistent rebounder averaging 12.5 rebounds in March. The 18 rebounds he had against the Thunder on Sunday were the most he’s had in a game since late January when he had 22 and 20 rebounds in back-to-back games. The Knicks have three games upcoming in Week 23, starting with a matchup against the Rockets on Tuesday.

Brunson has had good numbers this week, but the Knicks still managed to go 1-2. In two of the games he had 32 points and in the other game he had 26 points and 13 assists.

The Knicks have three games upcoming in Week 23, starting with a matchup against the Rockets on Tuesday.

Ball had an opportunity to tie Saturday’s game in the final seconds, but his three-point attempt fell short of the mark. The Hornets’ point guard did not shoot the ball well, but the good news was that he kept the turnovers in check, which was not always the case in the past. Ball committed just two turnovers against the 76ers, and the assists and three-pointers were certainly useful to fantasy managers. Ball will look to clean up the shooting when the Hornets host the Celtics on Sunday.

Diabaté has recorded a double-double in three of his last four games, with the exception being Friday’s blowout win over the Knicks. The Hornets’ center, who’s rostered in 35 percent of Yahoo! leagues, has been close to a top-75 player since the All-Star break, according to Basketball Monster. With the Hornets hosting the Celtics on Sunday and then playing four games in Week 23, managers in 12-team leagues where Diabaté is still on the waiver wire should seriously consider adding him.

While he did not record any assists or defensive stats, Miller had a nice afternoon as a scorer and rebounder. The 29 points were the most he’s scored in a game in over a month, having tallied 33 in a February 26 win over the Pacers.

Hart, who made nine consecutive three-pointers before missing one during Thursday’s defeat, has upped his fantasy output recently.

Nine of Anunoby’s ten field goal attempts on Thursday came from beyond the arc, and he made five of them.

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.

Miller has scored at least 21 points in three of his last four games, including Thursday’s win over the Knicks.

Ball’s improvement as a point guard is one of the reasons the Hornets still have a chance to avoid the play-in tournament altogether.

The version of LaMelo that fantasy managers have seen in 2026 is the one they’ve been hoping to see for years.

And the 14 rebounds were the most in a game for Diabaté in just over two weeks, as he last hit that number on March 6 against the Heat.

After having his highest-scoring game as a Hornet in Tuesday’s win, White surpassed that mark for a second straight game. He has been a fantastic addition for Charlotte, and it’s clear he’s still capable of contributing in fantasy despite coming off the bench. However, he has been far more efficient recently than he was last season, so it is unlikely he is able to maintain this recent run of production. Still, he’ll look to stay hot against the Grizzlies on Saturday.
