Hart has missed the Knicks’ last two games due to a sore left knee, resulting in Landry Shamet moving into the starting lineup. Shamet, who would remain in that role if Hart can’t play on Sunday, can provide three-pointers in that role, but he struggled in Friday’s win over the Pacers.

While fellow Knicks wing Mikal Bridges (11 points, four rebounds and one three-pointer) struggled during the team’s five-game road trip, that was not the case for Anunoby. OG scored at least 22 points in four of the five games, including Friday’s win over the Pacers. Since the All-Star break, Anunoby has provided top-50 value in eight- and nine-cat formats. Bridges, on the other hand, sits well outside the top-100. The Knicks end Week 20 with a game against the Warriors on Sunday.

Having grabbed 21 rebounds on three separate occasions in his NBA career, Robinson broke that seal on Friday. Starting for Karl-Anthony Towns (knee), the Knicks’ center shot 60 percent from the field and recorded 22 rebounds. Add in the steals and blocks, and this was an excellent night for those who streamed Robinson. If Towns can’t play in Sunday’s game against the Warriors, do not hesitate to add Robinson.

The Knicks may have been made to work harder than expected on Friday, as the lottery-bound Pacers played their key players significant minutes. However, that didn’t prevent Brunson from recording a solid stat line, extending his streak of games with at least 24 points to four. The Knicks play once more in Week 20, a home game against the Warriors on Sunday.

Ayton was one of several Lakers starters to produce big numbers against Chicago on Thursday. In the win, he finished third on the team in scoring and was one of two players to log double-digit rebounds before finishing with a second straight double-double. Ayton has had his least productive season as a pro to this point, but perhaps he is finding his way down the stretch of the season. He’ll have a chance to log a third consecutive double-double on Saturday against the Nuggets.

Reaves was part of a Lakers backcourt that combined for 81 points, 13 three-pointers, and 16 assists on Thursday. Alongside Luka Dončić, he impressed in his 39 minutes of action, securing a second straight 30-point game. The fifth-year guard has enjoyed a career-best season so far and should remain a reliable option and one of the best guards for fantasy managers as the fantasy playoffs inch closer.

Dončić was spectacular on Thursday against the Bulls. In the win, he dominated from beyond the arc before logging his first 50-point game as a Los Angeles Laker. He was one of two Lakers to reach double-figures in rebounds, and he finished one assist shy of a triple-double. The Lakers have now won four straight games and are the current No. 3 seed in the Western Conference standings. Fantasy managers should expect Dončić to have a similar workload the rest of the way as L.A. tries to avoid the Play-In Tournament.

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.

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.

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.

Ayton did most of his damage before halftime of Tuesday’s victory, putting up 12 points and 11 rebounds. While fantasy managers will have wanted to see more production from the 7-footer in the second half, this was still one of Ayton’s best performances since the All-Star break. His status as a starter makes Ayton a must-roster player, but it would be nice if he were to be a more consistent force in the middle for the Lakers.

Despite dealing with a right wrist injury that appeared to give him trouble throughout the night, Reaves recorded his second 30-point stat line since making his return from a strained calf back in early November.

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.

It’s an open secret that Dončić’s favorite spot on the court to shoot from is the left wing, but he took it to the extreme against the Knicks on Sunday.

He was just 5-of-16 from behind the three-point line on the day, but that one shot was symbolic of dominance over the Knicks on Sunday.
