Robinson made his season debut on Friday, playing 20 minutes in the Knicks’ loss to the Bulls. Sunday’s game is the first of two in as many nights for the Knicks, who host the Wizards on Monday. With that being the case, fantasy managers can safely assume that Robinson will miss one of the Knicks’ next two games.

Powell missed the Heat’s last two games with a groin injury and did not participate in Saturday’s practice. However, while he was limited to individual work, the veteran guard is still questionable for Sunday’s game. Pelle Larsson has been Powell’s replacement in the starting lineup, but Jaime Jaquez Jr. has benefited the most in terms of fantasy value.

Jakučionis has yet to appear in an official game this season, and that won’t change on Sunday as the Heat begin their road trip in Los Angeles. Dru Smith has taken on the backup point guard responsibilities, and that won’t change for the foreseeable future.

While the season is still extremely young, Bridges continues to show signs of being a fantasy steal. He’s scored 20 points or more in three straight games and has provided excellent production across all categories. Bridges is providing first-round value in nine-cat formats, outperforming his Yahoo! ADP (77) significantly. He’ll look to continue his resurgence on Sunday when the Knicks host the Bulls in the teams’ final game of Week 2.

Robinson saw his first action of the season on Friday. While Knicks head coach Mike Brown said before the game that the 7-footer would not be restricted, he only played 20 minutes. The good news for fantasy managers needing rebounding production is that Robinson doesn’t need much time to make a dent in that category, as evidenced by his 11 boards against the Bulls. He won’t provide much in most of the other fantasy categories, making Robinson more of a specialist than someone you can rely on for solid overall production.

After scoring 24 points in the Knicks’ season-opening win over the Cavaliers, Anunoby fell into a three-game slump, averaging 11.0 points on 29.4 percent shooting. One of the few positives from Friday’s disappointing loss was OG breaking that slump, shooting 75 percent from the field and 5-of-7 from beyond the arc. However, the poor shooting in the three games prior did minimal damage to Anunoby’s fantasy value, as he’s still ranked within the top-40 in nine-cat formats.

Brunson’s streak of 30-point games ended at three, as he fell one point shy of the threshold on Friday. While the free-throw percentage was disappointing, many fantasy managers will take the overall stat line from the Knicks captain. Through five games, Brunson is providing third-round value in nine-cat formats on solid percentages, so fantasy managers don’t have much to worry about. He’ll look to help the Knicks end their three-game skid when they host the Bulls on Sunday.

With Yabusele returning from a sore knee that sidelined him for one game and Mitchell Robinson (ankle) also available, the Knicks will have a complete roster for the first time this season. However, while Robinson and KAT will impact fantasy basketball, that’s unlikely to be true for Yabusele, as he’s struggled thus far.

Thus far, the role of the fifth starter has rotated based on matchups, with Ariel Hukporti (two games), Miles McBride (one) and Landry Shamet (one) all getting a shot. Robinson, who was projected to be a starter before the season began, is ready to make his 2025-26 debut and is expected to start. For his part, Robinson, who has been out with an ankle injury, posted “I’m ready” on his Facebook account, so he’s good to go.

Rostered in three percent of Yahoo! leagues, Fontecchio has been a consistently productive member of the Heat bench. He’s hit double figures in all five games, which includes a season-best 18-point night against the Spurs on Thursday. Averaging 3.2 three-pointers per game, Fontecchio is ranked just inside the top-75 in nine-cat formats. Nikola Jović was available despite a hip injury but only played 10 minutes. While he isn’t a must-add player in standard leagues, Fontecchio has outplayed Jović, who is still rostered in 25 percent of Yahoo! leagues.

Through the season’s first four games, Wiggins could not fully take advantage of Tyler Herro’s absence from the Heat lineup. While he was shooting 50 percent from the field, that was on a career-low 11 attempts per game. On Thursday, Wiggins took a season-high 18 shots and made over half his attempts. Of course, Miami has also been without Norman Powell for the last two games, and Wiggins has totaled 33 shot attempts. His opportunities will likely decrease once Powell and Herro return, but the Heat need Wiggins to be consistently aggressive until that time comes.

Adebayo finished Thursday’s defeat with his best line of the season, recording his first 30-point double-double. As is the case with many bigs who can shoot, he spent a lot of time on the perimeter due to the presence of Victor Wembanyama. Adebayo’s 13 three-point attempts were a career-high, but he’s attempted at least five in all five of Miami’s games thus far. He’s still ranked outside the top-50 in nine-cat formats, but that will change with more performances like the one Bam produced on Thursday.

Towns continues to play through a Grade 2 quad strain, most recently looking like a shell of himself in Tuesday’s loss to the Bucks.

Yabusele, who did not play in Tuesday’s loss to the Bucks, participated in Thursday’s practice.

According to SNY’s Ian Begley, the Knicks brought Robinson on their current road trip with the idea that he could play. Friday’s game against the Bulls is the final game of the trip, and Robinson’s ability to practice opens the door for him to be available. Ariel Hukporti has been the fifth starter on nights when the Knicks needed more size, but his playing time remained low. Landry Shamet started Tuesday’s loss to the Bucks, as the Knicks were without Miles McBride (personal).

Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said he wants to have Herro on the road because he thinks the return to play is made easier the more time he spends with the team. The guard had surgery on his left ankle on September 19 but is optimistic that he can return to the court before the end of November. Norman Powell (groin) will continue to start in place of Herro, but with Powell missing time recently, Pelle Larsson has been filling the void. Larsson had 17 points in the Heat’s last game.

Powell was listed as doubtful, so this is hardly a surprise. Pelle Larsson should start in his place again, but Jaime Jaquez Jr. will be the biggest beneficiary from a fantasy perspective. He played 28 minutes off the bench in the Heat’s first game without Powell and led the team with 28 points.

Jovic was initially listed as questionable, but was upgraded on Thursday, which is a good sign for his chances to get on the court.

Jovic pops up on the injury report after playing 22 minutes off the bench in Miami’s last game. He has been solid thus far, but if he were to miss this game, Simone Fontecchio, who has also gotten off to a strong start this season, would take on a larger role off the bench.

With Miles McBride (personal) unavailable, Shamet moved into the starting lineup on Tuesday. He made good use of his opportunity, shooting 4-of-9 from beyond the arc and joining Jalen Brunson and Mikal Bridges in double figures. Shamet totaled 12 points and 44 minutes in New York’s first three games, making dismissing Tuesday as an outlier easy. However, if McBride can’t rejoin the team for Friday’s game against the Bulls in Chicago, that could be another matchup in which Mike Brown decides to start Shamet rather than Ariel Hukporti (three rebounds, one assist and one steal in 10 minutes).

Bridges has scored 20 points or more in consecutive games and seems more comfortable with Mike Brown’s offensive system than he did playing for Tom Thibodeau last season. Bridges finished Tuesday’s win with his first double-double of the season and matched his season-high in assists. While he may not sustain the top-15 value he’s currently providing, Bridges is well-positioned to bounce back after an uneven 2024-25.

Adebayo finished Tuesday’s victory with a season-high point total, and he’s scored 19 points or more in three straight games. While there were no defensive stats in his most recent stat line, Charlotte’s porous defense allowed Bam to compensate for that on the offensive end. And the lack of defensive stats has weighed down his fantasy value through the season’s first week. Counting Tuesday, Adebayo has totaled two steals and no blocked shots. However, fantasy managers should not be too concerned given his track record.

With Norman Powell (groin) sidelined, Larsson was tabbed to make his first start of the season. He rewarded Erik Spoelstra’s faith with a solid effort against the Hornets, reaching double figures for the first time this season and finishing a blocked shot shy of a complete stat line. In fact, Larsson nearly doubled his point total after scoring nine points in Miami’s first three games. However, even if Powell misses more time, Larsson isn’t the best streaming option on a roster with Jaime Jaquez Jr. and Nikola Jović (10/6/2 with two three-pointers).

While Wiggins is shooting 50 percent from the field thus far, his fantasy value has languished due to a low free-throw percentage and limited production outside of points and rebounds. Those weren’t issues on Tuesday, as he recorded his first 20-point game of the season along with four defensive contributions. Wiggins’ role isn’t a problem for fantasy managers, as he will be in the starting lineup. However, the inconsistent production is, and that explains why he’s available in more than half of Yahoo! leagues.

On a night when Karl-Anthony Towns (8/12/1/2/1) and OG Anunoby (9/6/4/1/1 with one three-pointer) combined for 17 points on 5-of-23 shooting, Brunson did what he could to carry the Knicks offensively. He’s scored 31 points or more in three straight games, shooting 50 percent or better in each. There was an injury scare during the fourth quarter, as Brunson slipped and appeared to tweak his groin on two separate occasions. He did close out the game, but that’s something to be mindful of in the lead-up to the Knicks’ NBA Cup matchup with the Bulls on Friday.

Jaquez may not have been Heat head coach Erik Spoelstra’s choice to step in for the injured Norman Powell, but that did not prevent from from having an excellent night. And he’s gotten off to a good start this season, scoring at least 13 points in all four games (17 or more in three straight). Rostered in 28 percent of Yahoo! leagues, Jaquez is worth a look if Powell’s groin injury keeps him out for multiple games. Miami has games on Thursday and Sunday to end Week 2, the second of which (at LAL) is the first game of a back-to-back.

Adebayo struggled with his shot on Sunday but remained effective as a rebounder and recorded his second double-double of the season. And the three-point attempts have increased significantly when compared to last season. Adebayo has attempted 18 three-pointers thus far, with the average of six per game being more than double his 2024-25 mark (2.8). The accuracy hasn’t been there thus far, but Bam is attempting a transformation similar to the one Brook Lopez experienced earlier in his career. If Adebayo can develop into a consistent perimeter shooter, that would do wonders for him and the Heat.

Challenging to rely on in fantasy basketball last season, Jaquez has gotten off to a good start this season. He’s scored 17 points in consecutive games, which he accomplished once in the 2024-25 campaign. Consistent production will ensure Jaquez of rotation minutes, especially once Tyler Herro and Kasparas Jakučionis are healthy enough to play. The wing rotation is not as crowded now as it will be, and Jaquez has taken advantage through Miami’s first three games. He isn’t a must-roster player, especially with the Heat playing three games during Week 2, but Jaquez is worth watching.

While Sunday’s performance was his first this season with at least 20 points, Bridges has gotten off to a much better start than last season. The Knicks wing has shot 50 percent or better in all three games while totaling 16 rebounds, 12 assists, three blocks, five steals and six three-pointers.

The Knicks play three games during Week 2, starting with the Bucks on Tuesday.

He’ll look to bounce back when the Knicks visit Milwaukee on Tuesday, the first of three games for New York during Week 2.

Powell was fantastic on Sunday. He used his ability off the dribble to earn 12 free-throw attempts, which, combined with a solid performance from the field, led to him recording a season-high point total. With Tyler Herro (ankle) out, the Heat have relied on Powell more than they may have anticipated after acquiring him from the Clippers during the offseason. But, as evidenced by his play last season before injuring his hamstring in February, Powell can offer added value on the offensive end of the floor. Miami plays three games during Week 2, hosting Charlotte on Tuesday before heading west for four straight away from home.
