Robinson will make his long-awaited debut on Friday, giving the Knicks some much-needed depth in the frontcourt. His minutes will be restricted as the Knicks take a conservative approach to working Robinson back into the rotation. Fantasy managers shouldn’t expect much early on, but he can provide reliable production in the rebound and blocked shot categories.

Friday’s game will be the third straight game Vucevic has missed with a strained right calf. Zach Collins has replaced him in the starting lineup and should be streamed until Vooch is cleared to play. Jalen Smith will play rotation minutes off the bench, but his fantasy value is limited in that role.

Dosunmu and Smith have missed the Bulls’ last three games. While the former’s return will likely mean fewer minutes for Dalen Terry and Tre Jones, the latter may not be as impactful in fantasy basketball circles. Zach Collins should remain the starter as the Bulls continue without the injured Nikola Vucevic. That limits Smith’s fantasy potential, although he will get rotation minutes.

Smith was on a roll before the All-Star break and has missed his last three games. It appears like he’s ready to return to the hardwood, though. Smith will have a chance to take on a large role on Friday with Nikola Vucevic listed as doubtful.

Hart has appeared in two straight after missing two straight, but he’s in danger of sitting out a third game in five outings. If Hart is ultimately sidelined, Precious Achiuwa would likely slide back into the starting lineup.

Towns missed Wednesday’s game, which allowed Ariel Hukporti in his place. However, Hukporti injured his knee in that game. If Towns remains out against Memphis, Precious Achiuwa would likely get the start. Mitchell Robinson is also questionable and could make his season debut, though his minutes would likely be limited.

Dosunmu has missed three straight but has a chance to return against the Raptors. If he’s unable to go, Tre Jones and Kevin Huerter could help to pick up the slack.

Smith has missed Chicago’s last three games with a concussion, but he could be back on Friday. Nikola Vucevic (calf) is doubtful again, so if Smith plays, he will split the center minutes with Zach Collins.

Vucevic is expected to miss a third straight game, which likely will lead to another start for Zach Collins, who recorded a 21/17/6/2 line on Wednesday. Jalen Smith (concussion) is questionable after missing Chicago’s last three games, and he may cut into Collins’ minutes if he returns.

Robinson’s long-awaited return will come over the following weekend, but New York will surely bring him along slowly. With Karl-Anthony Towns feasting and Precious Achiuwa and Josh Hart playing strong frontcourt minutes, there’s no reason to rush Robinson back after such an extended absence.

Hukporti tore his meniscus in his first-ever start on Wednesday. He only got the start in the first place because Karl-Anthony Towns is dealing with a minor knee injury. Mitchell Robinson is nearing his 2024-25 debut and Precious Achiuwa could log a spot start or two in the back half of the week, leaving Hukporti with no fantasy value.

Once again starting for the injured Nikola Vucevic, Collins recorded a stellar stat line on Wednesday. The Bulls center recorded his first double-double of the season, establishing new highs in points (21) and rebounds (17). The 17 boards were a career-high for Collins, who has provided top-100 value in nine-cat formats over the past three weeks. As long as Vucevic and Jalen Smith (concussion) remain out, Collins will be worth streaming in deep leagues. And he’s rostered in just five percent of Yahoo! leagues.

Few players in fantasy basketball have been as hot as Giddey over the past three weeks. Averaging 19.4 points, 8.9 rebounds, 6.1 assists, 1.3 steals, 1.6 blocks and 2.9 three-pointers per game, he has been a top 10 player in eight- and nine-cat formats. Even if the front office doesn’t intend this to happen, the Bulls continue holding onto the East’s final play-in spot. Giddey’s improved play has much to do with that, and the timing is good since he’ll be a free agent this summer.

Hukporti started Wednesday’s game for the injured Karl-Anthony Towns, and the rookie got an alley-oop dunk on the Knicks’ first offensive possession. However, while he did shoot the ball well, the rebounding output was limited. Making matters worse was Hukporti suffering a sprained right knee early in the third quarter. While he would return briefly, the decision was ultimately made to sit him for the rest of the night. Helping Hukporti was the work of Josh Hart (7/17/4/1/1 in 39 minutes) and Precious Achiuwa (7/6/2/0/4 in 31 minutes), who combined for 23 rebounds and five blocked shots. Those two will be critical if Towns is unavailable for Friday’s game in Memphis, regardless of what happens with Hukporti.

Over the past three weeks, Bridges has averaged 13.9 points per game, shooting 47.8 percent from the field and 50 percent from the foul line. To say he, and those who have him rostered, needed a night like Wednesday would be an understatement. Bridges shot 7-of-9 from the field in the first quarter, and the 28 points were the most he’s tallied in a game since January 27 (28 vs. Memphis). The Knicks being without Karl-Anthony Towns (knee) on Wednesday likely helped Bridges’ offensive aggression; he needs to consistently come out with that kind of force, regardless of who’s available.

The Knicks are likely thankful for two things after Wednesday’s victory: Tyrese Maxey’s bad right hand (he shot 0-of-10 from three) and Brunson. “Captain Clutch” went on a personal 9-0 run during the fourth quarter to save the Knicks from what would have been an embarrassing defeat, especially after getting blown out by the Cavaliers and Celtics over the weekend. After dishing out all seven of his assists during the first quarter, Brunson was ultra-aggressive as a scorer in crunch time to get the Knicks back into the win column.

The Knicks will be without Karl-Anthony Towns, which may not be the worst thing due to the 76ers losing eight straight games. Hukporti will get the start, and the rookie can provide some production in the rebound and blocked shot categories. However, his fantasy ceiling is low despite being allowed to start.

Collins and Huerter are available after initially being probable for Wednesday’s game. The former will continue to serve as the starting center with Nikola Vucevic (calf) out of the lineup. As for Huerter, he will figure prominently off the bench, and he’s worth having in deep leagues where there is a need for three-point production.

The Knicks will play Wednesday’s game without one starter, not two. Towns’ absence pushes Ariel Hukporti into the starting lineup. The rookie can be a solid rebounder and shot-blocker, but he offers limited fantasy upside. As for Anunoby, he has struggled recently but will figure prominently in the offensive attack, especially with Towns out.

Initially questionable, Dosunmu still has soreness in his shoulder and will miss a third straight game. His absence has freed up additional minutes for Kevin Huerter and Tre Jones. While the latter can provide assists and a low turnover count, Huerter offers a higher ceiling in the points and three-point categories.

Vooch will miss a second straight game, which means Zach Collins (shin) should draw another start. Collins posted a solid 19/5/1/1/1 line across 28 minutes against the Sixers on Monday, and he’s worth streaming again tonight.
