Despite a sore right ankle, Kolek played 12 minutes in Monday’s win over the Pelicans. He’ll likely take on a similar workload on Wednesday, as Miles McBride played 18 minutes in his return from an ankle injury against the Pelicans.

Hukporti exited Monday’s win over the Pelicans during the second quarter after suffering a mouth contusion. If he can play on Wednesday, the second-year center will play rotation minutes, as Mitchell Robinson (ankle) is out. If Hukporti can’t play, Guerschon Yabusele and Trey Jemison will pick up additional minutes.

Robinson will miss a second straight game due to left ankle injury management. Under normal circumstances, Ariel Hukporti would move into the rotation. However, he’s questionable with a mouth contusion. If Hukporti sits, Guerschon Yabusele and Trey Jemison will likely see additional minutes as they did on Monday.

Brunson finished with his fifth double-double of the season and first since December 2. And, as usual, “Captain Clutch” came up big for the Knicks down the stretch. Brunson shot 4-of-5 from the field in the fourth quarter, including a floater with just over a minute remaining that extended New York’s lead to three. The Knicks still have three games to play in Week 11, starting with the Spurs on Wednesday in the final game of their road trip.

After a first quarter in which he missed all four of his shot attempts, Anunoby flipped a switch in the second. He shot 5-of-7 from the field, with all five makes occurring in the restricted area, and scored 16 points in the period. While the overall field-goal percentage wasn’t good, Anunoby’s overall stat line was one that many fantasy managers will take. He’s only shot 35.6 percent from the field over the past two weeks, which is why he’s ranked outside the top-100 in eight-cat formats during this period.

With Josh Hart unavailable due to a sprained ankle, Diawara made his second consecutive start on Monday. And the rookie took full advantage of the opportunity, hitting four three-pointers and scoring 16 points in the first half. Diawara wouldn’t offer much production in the final two quarters of Monday’s win. Still, he’s the latest example of a young Knicks player taking advantage of the opportunity given to them by head coach Mike Brown. Hart won’t play on Wednesday against the Spurs, either, meaning Diawara will get at least one more start.

Reid was a force of nature in the second half, going off for 23 points on 7-of-10 shooting, including 4-of-6 from three-point range. The 26-year-old big main drained a season-high six triples in this one while also chipping in seven boards and three assists in a stat sheet-stuffing effort. He’s capable of delivering outstanding fantasy value when he’s feeling it from downtown. He’s a must-start for the remainder of the week when the Timberwolves face the Hawks, Heat and Wizards.

Randle recorded the unconventional triple-double while Minnesota kicked off a four-game road trip by dishing out a season-high 14 helpers, reaching double-digit assists for the second straight contest. The 31-year-old’s transition to a facilitator role has driven down his scoring numbers lately but fantasy managers will certainly take the uptick in the assist department.

Edwards took a metaphorical backseat in this one as Naz Reid caught fire off the bench, dropping a season-high 33 points on 11-of-18 shooting, including 6-of-10 from downtown. The 24-year-old fantasy superstar was able to sit out most of the fourth quarter as Minnesota lead by as many as 41 points in this one.

Hukporti took a Zion Williamson forearm to the mouth during the second quarter of Monday’s game.

McBride is set to play in his first game since December 7, and his timing is impeccable, as Kolek has been filling in for him as Jalen Brunson’s backup. McBride may see limited minutes in his first game back in three weeks, so fantasy managers don’t need to insert him into lineups right away.

Monday will be an injury management day for Robinson, who logged 18 minutes off the bench in Saturday’s win over the Hawks. While the Knicks won’t have a back-to-back to navigate, their offensive rebounding savant will get a couple of days to rest before New York visits San Antonio on Wednesday. Ariel Hukporti could move into the rotation as Karl-Anthony Towns’ backup, but he would not be worth the risk in fantasy leagues.

McBride, who last appeared in a game on December 7, was also questionable ahead of Saturday’s win over the Hawks but did not play. If he does play, the Knicks guard will likely be under a minutes restriction. If he doesn’t, Mike Brown may expand his bench again, with Mohamed Diawara (who started for Josh Hart on Saturday) and Kevin McCullar Jr. picking up rotation minutes.

Anunoby may not have shot the ball as well as he’s capable of, but he came up with some huge plays in crunch time to salvage the victory. After rebounding a Jalen Brunson miss and making two free throws with 29.6 seconds remaining to give New York a one-point lead, his steal of a Trae Young pass on the ensuing possession led to two more free throws. With Josh Hart (ankle) sidelined for New York’s three-game road trip, Anunoby’s production outside of points may receive a boost. If so, that would be great for those who have him rostered.

Counting Saturday’s performance, Brunson has scored at least 34 points in three straight games. The Hawks struggled to find an answer for the Knicks’ point guard, but they aren’t the first time (or the last) to have that happen. Over the past two weeks, Brunson has provided second-round value in eight-cat formats, aligning with his Yahoo! ADP (22). It would be unsurprising if he had another big night on Monday against the Pelicans, especially if New Orleans doesn’t have Herb Jones.

For the first time in over a month, Towns has recorded a double-double in three straight games. He was outstanding against the Hawks, with 18 free throws being the most he’s attempted in a game this season. Towns shot over 50 percent from the field, and while he did not record any defensive stats, the offensive production and rebounds were elite. He’ll look to build on Saturday’s performance when the Knicks open a four-game Week 11 on Monday against the Pelicans.

Coming off his sixth 40-point performance of the season, Edwards was one of the few bright spots in a relatively forgettable performance for Minnesota. The 24-year-old superstar is averaging a whopping 33.5 points over his last four games. The Timberwolves open a four-game week on Monday against the Bulls before facing the Hawks, Heat and Wizards on the road.

The Knicks won’t have Josh Hart (ankle) for their three-game road trip, and his absence opens up a spot in the starting lineup. Diawara will make his second start of the week, having done so in Tuesday’s loss to the Timberwolves. He isn’t worth streaming in any fantasy league, but the second-round pick is worth watching for those competing in dynasty leagues.

Shamet has been out since late November after suffering a sprained right shoulder and does not have a clear return timeline.

Hart sprained his right ankle late in Thursday’s win over the Cavaliers and was already ruled out for Saturday’s game against the Hawks. He’ll also miss games against the Pelicans (Monday) and Spurs (Wednesday) before the Knicks return home. Mitchell Robinson has started alongside Karl-Anthony Towns before, and that may be the approach the Knicks take. Hart’s absence may also mean more minutes for Tyler Kolek, who has played well recently.

Though Gobert finished one point shy of a double-double, he was still able to have a productive fantasy night in what has been a strong season for him. Of course, Nikola Jokic’s monster night will take away from what Gobert did, but it was solid for fantasy managers before he fouled out in overtime. The former Defensive Player of the Year recorded double-digit rebounds for a seventh straight game and set a new season high for blocks.

Randle has cooled off after an excellent start to the year, but he’s certainly still capable of big scoring nights, as he proved in this game. This was his sixth 30-point game of the season, though it was his first since Nov. 19, and the other four came during Minnesota’s first eight games of the season. Randle had scored 25 points in the game before this, so he’ll look to carry this momentum into a matchup with the Nets on Saturday.

Edwards started this game off hot and ended the first quarter with 14 points. He cooled off after that until the fourth quarter. He scored 13 points over the final seven minutes, including a contested three-pointer from the corner to tie the game and force overtime. He helped Minnesota score the first nine points of overtime, but the game shifted Denver’s way after that. Edwards scored 11 points in the extra frame prior to an ejection that came after he disagreed with a pivotal call. Edwards matched his season high for scoring in this game it what will go down as a disappointing loss for the Wolves.

Fresh off the most productive game of his NBA career, Kolek had another impactful performance on Christmas Day. The second-year guard finished one assist shy of a double-double and combined with Jordan Clarkson to score 41 points. Kolek may not be at the point where he’s a must-roster player, but Josh Hart’s fourth-quarter ankle injury may open up additional minutes for the Knicks’ reserves.

As much as Christmas Day games focus on name-brand stars, the Knicks’ bench was the difference in Thursday’s victory. Clarkson and Tyler Kolek spearheaded an 18-0 second-quarter run that erased a terrible start, and both made key plays during the second half to complete the rally. Clarkson’s 25 points are a season-high, and he’s reached double figures in four of his last five games. If Josh Hart (ankle) has to miss time, Clarkson’s opportunities will likely increase despite coming off the bench.

Towns fell into the bad habit of committing silly fouls, as two within the first two-plus minutes parked him on the bench early in the first quarter. While the scoring wasn’t there, KAT did grab a game-high 14 rebounds, including a putback of a Tyler Kolek miss with 27.3 seconds remaining that gave New York a four-point lead. Towns and Mitchell Robinson (13 rebounds, two assists and one blocked shot) combined to corral 27 of New York’s 43 rebounds on the day. The Knicks end Week 10 with a game against the Hawks on Saturday.

Brusnon and the Knicks got off to a brutally slow start on Christmas Day, making just two of their first 15 shot attempts. New York would get off the mat during the second and fourth quarters, but it was the bench that sparked the rallies as opposed to Brunson. The captain finished with his 15th game of 30 points or more, so all wasn’t lost for those who have him rostered. And individual plus/minus, which can be a flawed stat to begin with, is not a scoring category in fantasy leagues.

Conley was active after missing four games with a sore Achilles, and the 24 minutes played may have been more than expected. And there was a good reason for the veteran guard to play more, as Jaden McDaniels exited during the first half with a hip injury. Conley started the third quarter, and while he didn’t do much scoring, the rebounds, assists and defensive stats were there. If McDaniels can’t play on Tuesday against the Knicks, Conley could be moved into the starting lineup. He would only be worth a look in deep leagues.
