McBride did not play in Wednesday’s win over the Raptors, which was the Knicks’ second game in as many nights. His absence led to Tyler Kolek playing more minutes, with the second-year guard logging 20 minutes and dishing out 10 assists.

Hart has been dealing with a sore right ankle for a few games, but he did gut out 35 minutes in Wednesday’s win over the Raptors. If he’s unable to play on Friday, some of the minutes will likely be absorbed by Mitchell Robinson, and Miles McBride could start if he’s available after not playing against Toronto.

While Towns didn’t have a good night shooting the basketball, he didn’t let those struggles affect him in other areas. With no Mitchell Robinson (ankle), KAT dominated the glass, grabbing a season-high 22 rebounds. So even with the poor shooting, there was still some value to be gained by fantasy managers. The Knicks head home for their final two games of Week 15, starting with the Trail Blazers on Friday.

On a night when Jalen Brunson (13 points, one rebound, four assists and one block) was under the weather, Hart was among the Knicks who picked up the slack. Dealing with a sore ankle, the Knicks’ wing matched his season-high in points and finished a blocked shot shy of a complete stat line. Even with his usually limited scoring output, Hart continues to provide excellent value in category leagues. And every so often, he has a night like Wednesday in which the shots are falling consistently.

After racking up seven turnovers in Tuesday’s win over the Kings, Anunoby played a far cleaner game on Wednesday. Not only did the Knicks forward finish turnover-free, but the eight “stocks” were a season high. Anunoby’s six steals were one shy of his career-high, and the 26 points matched his season-high. Wednesday was an excellent night for OG and those who have him rostered.

In his previous two games, Bridges scored 27 points on 11-of-29 shooting from the field. He got back on track in a significant way on Wednesday, recording his second 30-point game of the season. In recording a complete stat line, Bridges shot 80 percent from the field in Toronto. He remains a fantasy standout, especially in nine-cat formats, due mainly to the unquestioned availability, but the production has also been good.

Deuce and Robinson will both get the night off for injury maintenance on their injured left ankles.

Two days after MPJ was held to nine points in a loss, which was the first time this season that he scored less than 10 points, he was able to bounce back in a big way. He set a new season high for scoring and was hyper-efficient while doing it. Porter has been a fantasy stud and will certainly be on the trade block for the rebuilding Nets ahead of next week’s deadline. He’ll make his return to Denver on Thursday and look to stay scorching hot.

The Knicks had to overcome 18 total turnovers to get a much-needed victory over the Kings on Tuesday. No one was a bigger culprit than Anunoby, who had seven turnovers in the loss. All of a sudden, the 28-year-old small forward has 19 turnovers in his last five games. It’s hurt his value as he’s provided just 13th-round per game value over the last two weeks. Anunoby will look to bounce back against the Raptors Wednesday.

Towns has now recorded a double-double in eight of his last 12 games. The 30-year-old center was having a good game, but curiously didn’t close the game on the floor as the Knicks went with a different lineup. Towns ended up playing only 27 minutes while Mitchell Robinson played 26 minutes off the bench. Giving up minutes to Robinson like that isn’t a positive development for Towns’ fantasy value. It’s a situation his fantasy managers may have to monitor going forward.

The Knicks have quietly won three games in a row now after a 2-9 stretch. The Kings cut the Knicks’ lead to five with less than four minutes left in regulation before Brunson scored seven consecutive points to put the game on ice for New York. The 29-year-old point guard has scored 59 points over the last two games after scoring just 46 points in the three games before that. The Knicks will take on the Raptors Wednesday on the second night of a back-to-back.

Since Nic Claxton (six points, six rebounds, one assist, two steals and one blocked shot) was available, Sharpe was consigned to the bench on Sunday. However, he still posted a solid stat line, including a career-high four steals — his third time reaching this mark. While Sharpe’s fantasy ceiling right now depends on Claxton’s availability, he has the look of a player who could be a standout during the “silly season.” The Nets play four games in Week 15, including a midweek back-to-back, so now is a good time for deep-league managers to kick the tires on Sharpe.

Wolf didn’t have a good night shooting the basketball, but the rookie did record a complete stat line in his 26 minutes. Rostered in two percent of Yahoo! leagues, the 7-footer is ranked just inside the top-200 in eight-cat formats over the past two weeks. Wolf will have every opportunity to contribute during the second half of the season, so he should be a solid option for the “silly season.” As for right now, the percentages and overall production are too low to trust him in most fantasy leagues.

After failing to score at all during the first half, Dëmin knocked down three three-pointers and scored 12 points in the third quarter. Of course, the outcome was no longer in doubt by that point, with the Clippers winning by a 126-89 final score, but Dëmin has made encouraging strides as a shooter. The rookie entered Sunday’s game averaging 2.4 three-pointers per game while knocking down 40 percent of his attempts. The percentage will take a hit after Dëmin shot 3-of-10 on Sunday, but managers who are rostering him should be pleased with the overall development.
