The Knicks still need a win to lock up the three-seed in the East. Brunson and McBride should be available for Tuesday’s game between the playoff implications and the probable tags. Cameron Payne benefits the most when either is unavailable, while Delon Wright would enter the rotation if Brunson and McBride are out.

Mitchell sprained his left ankle during the third quarter of Sunday’s loss to the Kings. While he did return later in the quarter, there’s no reason for the Cavaliers not to give their star guard a night off. Sam Merrill was Mitchell’s replacement the last time he missed a game, which may be the case on Tuesday. While this would boost Merrill’s fantasy value slightly, he is not a must-stream player.

Make it nine straight games with a double-double or triple-double for Towns, whose performance on Sunday was pedestrian by his standards. Over the past two weeks, he has provided third-round value in eight-cat formats, with an average of 3.3 turnovers per game causing a two-round drop in his nine-cat value. The good news for Towns managers whose seasons run through Week 23 is that the Knicks play four games and still have some work to do to sew up the three-seed in the East.

Outside of Chicago’s Coby White, not many players have been as hot as Anunoby has been recently. He’s scored 23 points or more in 10 straight games, including three 30-point outings. Anunoby was rolling during the third quarter of Sunday’s victory, scoring 19 points on 7-of-7 shooting from the field. His hot streak was the perfect time for Anunoby managers whose leagues ended on Sunday. For those whose leagues will be active during Week 23, the Knicks play four games, beginning with the Celtics on Tuesday.

Brunson returned to the Knicks’ lineup on Sunday after a 15-game absence. Unsurprisingly, there was some rust early on. Brunson would score 10 of his 14 points after halftime as the Knicks moved one step closer to locking up the three-seed in the East. Following the game, Knicks coach Tom Thibodeau said that Brunson was not under any restrictions, but the team trainer watched him closely throughout the game. Also returning on Sunday was Miles McBride (groin), who played 16 minutes and finished with eight points, two assists, two steals and two three-pointers. The Knicks play four games during Week 23, starting with the Celtics on Tuesday.

Mitchell tweaked his left ankle during the third quarter of Sunday’s game but returned after a quick trip to the locker room. With the Cavaliers close to locking up home-court advantage throughout the Eastern Conference playoffs, he may not be guaranteed to play all four of Cleveland’s Week 23 games. That could be problematic for Mitchell managers whose leagues run through the end of the NBA regular season.

While he had a rough night at the foul line, Mobley’s overall stat line is one from which many category league managers will benefit, especially those who entered Sunday needing defensive production. The six “stocks” were the most Mobley has recorded in a game since November 27, when he tallied four steals and three blocks in a win over the Hawks. Over the past two weeks, Mobley has been a top-25 player in eight- and nine-cat formats, providing increased value at the right time for managers whose leagues ended on Sunday. For those whose leagues are active during Week 23, Mobley and the Cavaliers are scheduled to play four games.

Sunday’s game was the first for Jerome since March 25, as a knee injury sidelined him for five games. The Cavaliers’ reserve guard showed no signs of rust against the Kings and has scored 20 points or more in 12 games this season. That’s double Jerome’s total in the first five seasons of his NBA career. While the mainstream conversation regarding the Most Improved Player award has focused on Cade Cunningham, Jerome is one of the under-discussed players whose name should come up more.

Sunday’s game will be McBride’s first since March 20, while Payne played rotation minutes off the bench in Saturday’s win over the Hawks. The Knicks will have their full point guard rotation against the Suns, as starter Jalen Brunson is also available. His presence means that McBride and Payne will provide limited fantasy value coming off the bench.

Brunson is back after a 15-game absence and will be in the Knicks’ starting lineup. His return means Delon Wright heads to the bench, and the veteran backup may fall out of the rotation entirely, as Miles McBride and Cameron Payne are also available.

Payne is dealing with a minor ankle tweak but appears set to play on Sunday. He likely won’t need to start with Jalen Brunson ready for a return, so he and Miles McBride should be prepared to serve smaller roles than they have lately.

McBride has missed eight games with a groin injury but has a chance to return against Phoenix. He will back up Jalen Brunson if he’s active, so fantasy managers should expect his ceiling to be lower than it was during his stint as a starter.

Hart finished one rebound shy of another triple-double in the Knicks’ comfortable win over the Hawks. Over the past two weeks, he has provided third-round value in eight- and nine-cat formats, which isn’t far removed from his season-long production. Hart and the Knicks end Week 22 with a home game against the reeling Suns on Sunday.

After a disappointing performance in which he only attempted six shots in a loss to the Cavaliers on Wednesday, Bridges was far more involved as a scorer on Saturday. The 20 points were two fewer than his total in New York’s first two games of Week 22, and Mikal has recorded five assists or more in four of his last six outings. The next test for Bridges will be to keep this going once Jalen Brunson returns from his ankle injury, which could be as soon as Sunday against Phoenix.

Make it nine straight games with at least 23 points for Anunoby, who was impactful on both ends of the floor in Saturday’s victory. According to Basketball Monster, he’s ranked fourth in eight- and nine-cat formats over the past two weeks. Anunoby’s hot streak occurred at the right time for those who have him on their roster and are looking to win their leagues. The Knicks end Week 22 with a home game against the Suns on Sunday.

While there was a brief injury scare during the second quarter of Saturday’s game, with Towns exiting briefly, he was able to return and continue to dominate offensively. He’s recorded a double-double in eight consecutive games, with Saturday’s being the third of the 30-point variety. Given Phoenix’s struggles at the center position, Sunday could be another big day for KAT, especially if Jalen Brunson (ankle) returns.

Jerome has missed Cleveland’s last five games and Wade the last two. The former’s availability is more impactful on fantasy basketball, as Jerome has provided 11th-round value in nine-cat formats this season. Multiple rotation players, including De’Andre Hunter, Isaac Okoro and Sam Merrill, are impacted by Jerome and Wade’s availability.

Payne will be back after a four-game absence, but he won’t return to the starting unit.

Robinson will miss a second-straight game, with both coming as part of separate back-to-backs.

Brunson will miss his 15th-straight game on Saturday when the Knicks take on the Hawks. However, he should be back to close out the week on the second night of their back-to-back.

Garland has scored at least 20 points just once in his last five games despite playing at least 30 minutes in all five games. The 25-year-old point guard has struggled with his shooting of late, but still managed to recored at least six assists in each of his last five games. Fantasy managers will take the assists and Garland will look to get his shot going again Sunday against the Kings.

Mobley’s tour de force season continued Friday as he had a huge game against the Spurs. The 23-year-old center had 25 points on just 13 shots including four made three-pointers. Mobley also grabbed 12 boards and dished out five assists. He also showed up on defense with a steal and three blocks. It was quite a game for Mobley, who has been a top-30 fantasy player over the last three weeks.

Mitchell has now scored at least 24 points in each of his last five games. The 28-year-old shooting guard made six three-pointers, which is the most he’s had in a game since January 26, when he had seven three-pointers against the 76ers. Mitchell has been a top-five fantasy player over the last week.

Brunson has missed New York’s last 14 games with a sprained right ankle. Cleared to resume basketball activities on Sunday, the All-Star point guard will practice on Friday. The Knicks are hopeful that Brunson can play over the weekend, with the team visiting Atlanta on Saturday and hosting Phoenix the following day. Delon Wright and Tyler Kolek have handled the point guard responsibilities recently, but both will fall out of the rotation once Brunson, Miles McBride (groin) and Cameron Payne (ankle) return.

The Knicks will end this week with a Saturday/Sunday back-to-back, visiting Atlanta before returning home to host the Suns. And the team’s point guard rotation may be back to normal. In addition to Jalen Brunson potentially returning from his ankle injury, McBride and Payne “should” be cleared any day, according to their head coach. McBride has missed New York’s last seven games and Payne the last four. How much McBride or Payne would impact fantasy basketball during the final days of Week 22 depends on Brunson’s availability. However, with the schedule being what it is, there isn’t anything to gain from holding onto Delon Wright or Tyler Kolek if you’ve been streaming them.

While Garland’s final stat line would not be described as elite, it was a performance he and those who have him rostered needed. In his three prior appearances, the Cavaliers guard shot 34.8 percent from the field and averaged 16.7 points per game. Garland was considerably more efficient against the Knicks, and fantasy managers will also take the six assists. He’ll look to build on this performance when the Cavaliers visit the lottery-bound Spurs on Friday.

Allen may not have been dominant in Wednesday’s victory, but his performance could be considered excellent. The Cavaliers center has surpassed the 20-point mark in three of his last four outings, shooting an incredible 85.4 percent from the field. Over the past week, Allen has been ranked just outside the top 25 in nine-cat per-game value. Sidekick Evan Mobley was solid on Wednesday, finishing with 13 points, four rebounds, four assists, one steal, one block and one three-pointer. Allen’s production carried the night, moving the Cavaliers one game closer to locking down home-court advantage throughout the Eastern Conference playoffs.

After a slow first half, Mitchell kicked into high gear in the second, as Cleveland stormed back and won comfortably. He’s scored at least 24 points in four straight games, which is one reason why he’s provided top-5 value in eight- and nine-cat formats over the past week. The Cavaliers end Week 22 with games against the Spurs and Kings, which are good matchups for Mitchell. However, with Cleveland closing in on the one-seed in the East, fantasy managers will hope he isn’t given a night off in advance for the playoffs.

By design, the Cavaliers funneled the ball in Hart’s direction, resulting in him attempting 19 shots on Wednesday. He made eight, but it was more important for the Knicks that Hart attempted those shots instead of passing them up. Hart’s fantasy value has taken a hit recently, as shooting 64.7 percent from the foul line over the past two weeks hasn’t helped. However, he’s ranked just outside the top-50 in nine-cat during this stretch. Hart’s increased usage on Wednesday may have come at Mikal Bridges’ expense, as he only attempted six shots and finished with eight points, two rebounds, three assists and one steal. Bridges will need to be better, beginning with the Knicks’ Saturday/Sunday back-to-back.

In a losing effort, Anunoby extended his streak of games with at least 23 points to eight, extending the most productive stretch of his NBA career. A top-10 player in eight- and nine-cat formats over the past two weeks, the Knicks wing has been outstanding recently. And with Jalen Brunson (ankle) possibly returning this weekend, there will be time to see how he and the “new and improved” Anunoby mesh ahead of the NBA Playoffs.

Towns returned to the Knicks’ lineup after sitting out Tuesday’s win over the 76ers, recording his 54th double-double. That’s 23 more than his tally in the prior two seasons combined, a testament to how being the lone big on the court has positively impacted KAT’s fantasy value. However, he did not record any defensive stats on Wednesday and was responsible for seven turnovers. The good news for Towns managers is that neither of New York’s final two opponents of Week 22, Atlanta and Phoenix, are as formidable in the frontcourt as the Cavaliers.
