Murray and Gordon are back on the injury report, but both players are listed as probable, so they should be able to play. Gordon did not play in Thursday’s win over the Spurs, with Spencer Jones replacing him in the starting lineup. Fantasy managers should plan for Gordon and Murray to take on their usual responsibilities, which would push Jones to the bench.

The Knicks will be without two starters for Friday’s game, with Towns joining Hart on the sidelines. Landry Shamet, who started for Hart in Wednesday’s win over the Jazz, should retain that role in the final game of New York’s road trip. The other replacement in the starting lineup is Mitchell Robinson, with Ariel Hukporti serving as the backup.

The Nuggets did not have Aaron Gordon (hamstring) for Thursday’s game, resulting in Jones making his first start since February 4. Unsurprisingly, as he made 34 prior starts due to the Nuggets’ injury issues earlier this season, Jones was ready for the moment. Shooting 3-of-6 from beyond the arc, the second-year forward’s 19 points were the most in a game for him since dropping 28 on the Mavericks on December 1. Gordon sat out for injury management reasons, so he should be back on Saturday against the Lakers. If not, Jones would make for a worthwhile pickup in deep leagues.

The “Blue Arrow” was at his best when the Nuggets needed him most, scoring 16 points in the third quarter on 6-of-8 shooting from the field. Murray was efficient throughout the night, making over half of his shot attempts and going a perfect 15-of-15 from the foul line. For the first time in just over a month, the Nuggets guard has scored at least 30 points in consecutive games. Murray will look to make it three straight when the Nuggets visit the Lakers on Saturday.

Despite appearing a bit fatigued to begin Thursday’s game, which was their second in as many nights, the Nuggets rallied in the second half to pick up one of their best wins of the season. Jokić recorded another elite stat line, posting his 27th triple-double of the season. Also, this was the 10th triple-double of his career in which the three-time MVP accounted for at least 30 points and 20 rebounds. The Nuggets play once more in Week 20, Saturday night against the Lakers.

The Pacers don’t play a traditional center apart from Jay Huff, and they have been resting a lot of their players lately, so the Knicks may be trying to give Towns a rest day before their Sunday game against the Warriors. If Towns were to miss this game, Mitchell Robinson would likely start, and Mo Diawara would play more minutes as a small-ball center.

The Pacers are certainly not trying to win many games right now, but neither were the Jazz, and they were up on the Knicks for a while on Wednesday. If Hart sits out on Friday, the Knicks will again turn to Landry Shamet for a bigger role with Jordan Clarkson playing around 25 minutes, as he did against the Jazz when he scored 27 points and grabbed five rebounds.

Gordon played just 22 minutes in last night’s blowout win over the Rockets but scored zero points and grabbed four rebounds. It now seems that Denver is thinking about having him sit out the second leg of their back-to-back, which could mean more usage and minutes for Cameron Johnson and Tim Hardaway Jr.

Having struggled for most of the season, Johnson’s line on Wednesday was in line with what many fantasy managers hoped to get from him consistently. He shot 3-of-3-of-5 from beyond the arc, while recording a complete stat line. The Nuggets play two more games in Week 20, starting with the Spurs on Thursday, and they’ll need Wednesday’s version of Johnson consistently if they’re to make a deep playoff run.

After totaling 11 points on 4-of-13 shooting in his prior two appearances, Braun needed a night like Wednesday. The 19 points were the most he’s had in a game since February 27, when the Nuggets’ wing dropped 23 in a loss to the Thunder. Since the All-Star break, Braun sits just inside the top-150 in category league value. His status as a starter makes him a player worth holding onto, but the chances of Braun being a difference-maker during the playoff weeks are slim.

Obviously, Jokić has recorded far more robust stat lines than the one he produced in Wednesday’s 36-point victory. However, the three-time MVP had his triple-double by the end of the third quarter, the 83rd time in his career that The Joker has accomplished this feat. The Nuggets play two more games in Week 20, starting with the Spurs on Thursday, so getting a little extra rest was a good deal for Jokić.

Murray and the Nuggets rolled to a 129-93 victory, pulling away thanks to a dominant third quarter. While Murray wasn’t too involved in the 40-point period, scoring four points, he shouldered most of the scoring workload in the first half. The 30 points were the second-most he’s scored in a game this month, trailing only his 45-point effort against the Jazz on March 2.

Anunoby, who shot 70 percent from the field on Wednesday, has scored at least 22 points in three of his last four appearances. While he did record a complete stat line against the Jazz, his numbers were limited beyond points and three-pointers. The Knicks still have two more games in Week 20, starting with the Pacers on Friday. And with the schedule easing up a bit, fantasy managers will hope for more robust stat lines from Anunoby.

For the first time this season, Towns has recorded seven assists or more in consecutive games. And KAT has been excellent since the All-Star break, providing first-round value in 12-team, eight-cat formats. While a few other Knicks have battled inconsistency since the break, that has not been an issue for Towns, much to the delight of managers who have him on their fantasy rosters.

Like many of his teammates, Brunson started slowly on Wednesday. However, he turned things around in the second half, shooting 6-of-8 from the field and scoring 18 points. Brunson also recorded six assists after halftime as the Knicks avoided what would have been an embarrassing defeat. The Knicks play two more games in Week 20, starting with the Pacers on Friday.

Clarkson’s return to Utah was a special one, as the veteran guard gave the Knicks much-needed production off the bench. With Josh Hart (knee) unavailable and New York getting off to a terrible start, JC came through with his most productive performance of the season. The 27 points were a season-high for Clarkson, who also put up solid numbers in rebounds, assists, three-pointers and percentages. One game does not make him a player to add in fantasy leagues, but it may ensure Clarkson of another opportunity the next time the Knicks play.

Watson, who has not appeared in a game since February 4, is closing in on a return to action. However, his only live action has come against the Nuggets’ coaching staff and Aaron Gordon when the forward was ramping up for his return from a strained hamstring.

Hart finished Monday’s defeat with his 13th double-double of the season and third since the All-Star break. Due to decreased production across multiple categories, his fantasy value has dipped significantly since the All-Star break. The Knicks end their road trip with games against the Jazz and Pacers, two matchups that may serve Hart well. Fantasy managers will certainly hope that’s the case, as his value has been trending in the wrong direction, even with Monday’s double-double.

After dropping 34 points in the Knicks’ blowout of the Nuggets to open their five-game road trip, Anunoby struggled against the Lakers on Sunday. The wing rebounded nicely on Monday, even if it did not result in a Knicks’ victory. Since the All-Star break, Anunoby has provided top-50 value in nine-cat formats. While his season-long value has been better than that, his consistency has made OG a player whom fantasy managers have been able to rely on all season long.

Brunson was one of the few Knicks to shoot the ball well against the Clippers, making just over half of his attempts on the night. That was a positive development for fantasy managers, as the Knicks’ captain opened March shooting 37.5 percent from the field in his first five games of the month. Having lost both of their games in Los Angeles County, the Knicks dropped to 0-4 in California this season. The Knicks play three more games in Week 20, starting with the Jazz on Wednesday.

Including Towns, four players were responsible for 97 of the Knicks’ 118 points. Add in 20 turnovers, and it’s nearly impossible to win a game against a team that has postseason ambitions like the Clippers. The good news for fantasy managers was that Towns, who has played well over the past month, recorded a robust stat line that only lacked a steal. With the Knicks ending their road trip with games against the Jazz and Pacers, those could be big nights for KAT.

Hardaway had one of his most productive nights of the season on Monday. The eight triples represented a new season-high, and his 28 points were the most in a game for him since dropping 30 in a January 29 win over the Nets. This issue, as far as Hardaway’s fantasy value is concerned, is that he has not provided much value outside of points and three-pointers. For those needing a specialist in deeper leagues, he’s worth a look. For others, Monday’s effort did not change much.

Denver having two days off after Friday’s loss to the Knicks worked in the team’s favor, as Murray did not miss any games after exiting that contest before halftime. While he was able to play 37 minutes on Monday, the Nuggets guard missed all four of his three-point attempts on the night. However, Murray made just under half of his two-point attempts, and category league managers will be pleased with the rebounds and assists. Denver has a midweek back-to-back against the Rockets and Spurs that could be problematic for Murray, given the recent injury.

Gordon was scalding hot to begin Monday’s game, shooting 5-of-5 from the field and scoring 19 points in the first quarter. Unfortunately, the Nuggets forward cooled off considerably as the Thunder devoted more attention to him defensively, with Gordon making one of his final ten attempts from the field. Fantasy managers will certainly take the final stat line, but some will lament what could have been after the hot start.

Jokić nearly helped get the Nuggets to overtime on Monday, as his three-pointer combined with a Jamal Murray free throw for a foul off the ball tied the game with 8.4 seconds remaining. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander had other ideas, however, as his three-pointer gave the Thunder their second win over the Nuggets in less than two weeks. However, fantasy managers will be focused more on Jokić recording his 24th triple-double of the season than on the result. The Nuggets play three more games in Week 20, all against teams fighting for playoff seeding in the West.
