Shamet injured his right shoulder when he ran into a Wendell Carter Jr. screen. This is the same shoulder he dislocated during the 2024-25 preseason, spending months on the shelf before joining the Knicks mid-season. With Miles McBride now questionable due to an illness, the Knicks have called on Tyler Kolek and Mohamed Diawara to play rotation minutes off the bench.

Wiggins missed Friday’s game against the Bulls with Kel’el Ware moving into the starting lineup. The 30-year-old small forward is dealing with a left hip flexor injury. Wiggins’ absence is likely more good news for fantasy managers that have Ware, who should continue to start.

Powell is listed as probable with left hip irritation. The 32-year-old shooting guard is off to a great start, providing second-round value so far this year. With Tyler Herro (ankle) and Andrew Wiggins (hip) already ruled out, this is another opportunity for Powell to have a ceiling game.

McBride popped up on the injury report as questionable with an illness mere hours before game-time against the Magic on Saturday. Typically, that doesn’t bode well for players in McBride’s situation. McBride doesn’t have a path towards much fantasy value with Jalen Brunson back from an ankle injury anyway.

Ware moved into the starting lineup with Andrew Wiggins out against the Bulls on Friday. It was the 21-year-old center’s 12th start of the year as he also picked up starts while Bam Adebayo was out for two weeks with a toe injury. Ware showed his upside once again when given the opportunity with 20 points and 14 rebounds in 28 minutes. While he figures to move back to the bench soon, Ware still has to be rostered in most leagues.

Adebayo returned from a two-week absence with a toe injury against the Warriors on Wednesday and had 20 points in 29 minutes. The 28-year-old center had 18 points in 29 minutes in the Heat’s route of the Bulls on Friday. Adebayo is showing no ill effects in the two games since returning from his injury. The Heat will be back in action against the 76ers on Sunday.

The Heat are without Andrew Wiggins for Friday’s game, opening up a spot in the starting lineup. Ware will fill the void, making his 12th start of the season. While the effort can wane at times, the second-year center should be rostered in most 12-team leagues.

Jović had his hip injury pop up before Wednesday’s game against the Warriors and missed that one as well. He will now sit out one more, and with Andrew Wiggins (hip) also out, that should be more usage and minutes for Jaime Jaquez Jr. and Simone Fontecchio.

It’s been reported that Wiggins’ injury won’t linger, so there’s a chance he’s back on Sunday against the 76ers.

Bridges only shot 1-of-5 from deep on Wednesday, but the overall production remained solid for the versatile wing. Having entered the season with a Yahoo! ADP in the high-70s, Bridges is providing first-round value in nine-cat formats and second-round value in eight-cat. Thus far, he has been one of the best value picks in fantasy basketball, and there’s no reason to assume that will change anytime soon. Bridges managers can consider selling high, but that may not be a good idea due to his production and availability.

After a slow start to the season due to back and finger injuries, Hart has looked more comfortable recently. He recorded his third double-double on Wednesday and has been a seventh-round player in nine-cat formats over the past two weeks. While he isn’t starting for the injured OG Anunoby, the starter’s absence does raise Hart’s fantasy ceiling. While New York plays only one more game in Week 5, it will play four in Week 6. Hart is worth adding ahead of Saturday’s game against Orlando.
NYK • Center-Forward • #32

Towns recorded another double-double on Wednesday, salvaging what was a rather ordinary night by his standards. He was 1-of-6 from three and missed four free throws, so the percentages took a beating. The good news for Towns managers is that the rebounds, assists and steals were present, so all wasn’t lost from a value standpoint. He’ll look to clean up the shooting when the Knicks visit Orlando on Saturday.

Back in the Knicks’ lineup after missing two games with a sprained ankle, Brunson made up for lost time with a solid effort to help New York pick up its first road win of the season. The foul shooting was a bit off, but the overall line will undoubtedly please those who have Brunson rostered. Just as encouraging is that he played 35 minutes without any flare-ups. Miles McBride returned to the bench on Wednesday, finishing with 11 points, two assists, two blocks and three three-pointers. With Brunson available, McBride isn’t worth holding onto in most fantasy leagues.

Ware moved to the bench with Bam Adebayo returning from a toe injury. The 21-year-old center still saw 19 minutes against the Warriors. While Ware didn’t have much of an offensive game with seven points on 10 attempts, he still pulled down 16 rebounds. Ware’s fantasy ceiling is lower and he’ll see fewer minutes now that he’s coming off the bench, but he’s still worth rostering in fantasy basketball.

Powell made at least four three-pointers for the fourth time in his last five games. The 32-year-old shooting guard is still the top dog on the Heat until Tyler Herro (ankle) returns. One of the most consistent scorers in the league, don’t expect Powell’s role to change much.

Adebayo missed two weeks and six games with a toe injury before returning to the Heat’s lineup on Wednesday. The 28-year-old center played 29 minutes and had a great game with 20 points and a complete stat line. Adebayo’s return pushed Kal’el Ware to the bench, though he still played 19 minutes as well.

Brunson is back in the lineup after a two-game absence, giving the Knicks a welcome boost on the offensive end of the floor. His return means Miles McBride will come off the bench, which considerably lowers his fantasy ceiling. New York’s other four starters are unchanged, with Shamet continuing to fill in for the injured OG Anunoby.

The Heat have only made one change to their starting lineup, but it’s a big one. Adebayo is back after a six-game absence, and his return pushes Kel’el Ware to the bench. Ware will still play plenty, but he has a slightly lower fantasy ceiling when used in a reserve role.

Herro underwent ankle surgery in mid-September and has not appeared in a game this season. However, that may change soon, as it’s reported that Monday’s game against the Mavericks could be the target date for Herro to play. His return will impact the entire Heat perimeter rotation. Norman Powell’s role may not change much, but Pelle Larsson could head to the bench and Davion Mitchell may not have the ball in his hands as much as a playmaker.

Downgraded from questionable to doubtful earlier Wednesday afternoon, Jović is officially out for the matchup with Golden State. The Heat will have Bam Adebayo (toe) available, and Jaime Jaquez Jr. and Simone Fontecchio can also absorb the minutes that would have gone to Jović.

After six games on the shelf, Adebayo will play on Wednesday. His return impacts Kel’el Ware the most, as the second-year center will likely return to the bench. Managers who have Ware on their rosters must hold onto him, as he’ll have solid value whether he starts or comes off the bench.

Jović was a late addition to the injury report and was deemed questionable, but he has now been downgraded to doubtful.

Jović dealt with a hip injury earlier this season, and now he is back on the injury report with one as a late addition. If he is unavailable, Jaime Jaquez Jr. and Simone Fontecchio, who have both already been playing large roles, would likely see even more minutes. However, Bam Adebayo (toe) could be back, and his return would alter the rotation more than Jović’s absence.

This isn’t a guarantee that Brunson will play, but after being listed as questionable, this is a positive sign. Brunson has missed the Knicks’ last two games, which has allowed Miles McBride to fill in as a starter. If Brunson is back, McBride will return to play his typical role off the bench.

Injured during a November 12 loss to the Magic, Brunson has missed New York’s last two games. However, he did go through a workout before Monday’s loss to the Heat and may be available on Wednesday. Miles McBride has started the last two games and played well enough to be streamed if Brunson remains out.

Adebayo has missed six straight games, but he has a chance to return for Wednesday’s tilt with Golden State. Kel’el Ware has started six straight in Adebayo’s place, averaging 12.7 points, 12.5 rebounds, 1.0 steals and 2.3 blocked shots in that span. Ware’s fantasy value will take a hit when Adebayo returns, though the former is still worth rostering in standard leagues. Ware is averaging just north of 24 minutes per game, and he has standalone value thanks to his scoring, rebounding and defensive contributions.

Hart finished one assist shy of a double-double, and that’s a category where he can provide added value while the Knicks await Jalen Brunson’s return from a sprained ankle. Hart’s averages have decreased due to his being moved to the bench, with the forward ranked outside the top-150 in nine-cat formats. However, Hart has been a top-100 player over the past two weeks. That’s why he is still rostered in 76 percent of Yahoo! leagues.

Despite joining his teammates in Miami late for personal reasons, McBride had one of his best games of the season on Monday. After totaling 27 points on 35.7 percent shooting in his previous four appearances, Deuce recorded his first 20-point game of the season. With Jalen Brunson (ankle) out, it would have been nice to get some assist production from McBride, but the points, rebounds, and three-pointers were good. With OG Anunoby also out, McBride should remain a starter until those two return.

Bridges continues to provide elite category-league value, recording another complete stat line on Monday. With Jalen Brunson and OG Anunoby out due to injury, the Knicks will need even more production from Bridges in the short term. With Monday’s performance, he’s now providing top-10 per-game value in nine-cat formats, according to Basketball Monster. Bridges is a “sell high” candidate, but he’s shown no signs of slowing down.

Towns extended his double-double streak to nine games on Monday, but this was not his best performance by a long shot. The Knicks forward/center was 1-of-7 from beyond the arc and never seemed to establish a rhythm offensively. Towns did manage to clear 20 points and record a complete stat line, so all wasn’t lost for those who have him rostered. He’ll look to bounce back on Wednesday when the Knicks visit the Mavericks.

Fontecchio has scored at least 13 points in three of his last four games, with Monday’s total being the highest in a game for him since October 30. The Heat forward is mainly a points and three-pointers option, and he’s been relatively effective in those areas. Fontecchio is averaging 11.5 points and 2.6 three-pointers per game. Jaime Jaquez Jr. (13/1/4 with one three-pointer on Monday) remains the superior option in category leagues, but deep-league managers seeking three-point production may consider Fontecchio.

Ware has reached double digits in rebounds in five straight games, recording double-doubles in the last four. This is the consistency that the Heat and fantasy managers have desired. Over his last five games, the second-year center has provided first-round value in 12-team formats. For the season, Ware is outperforming his Yahoo! ADP (87) by a considerable distance, as he continues to pick up the slack with Bam Adebayo unavailable.

Mitchell has reached double figures in five straight games, with Monday’s total being a season-high. During this five-game stretch, “Off Night” has averaged 13.4 points and 7.2 assists while shooting 53.2 percent from the field and 81.8 percent from the foul line. That production has been good for seventh-round value in nine-cat formats. Mitchell is rostered in 30 percent of Yahoo! leagues, and that number may increase following recent improvements on the offensive end.

One game removed from scoring 38 points in a road loss to the Knicks, Powell’s point total was halved on Monday. However, he’ll likely value the win more than Friday’s gaudy stat line. Powell has been on a roll to start the season, with this being the second game in which he’s failed to score at least 20 points. Carrying more of the offensive workload with Tyler Herro and Bam Adebayo out due to injury, Powell has provided top-25 value in nine-cat formats.

McBride has rejoined the Knicks after not traveling to Miami with the team for personal reasons, and he’ll continue to start in place of the injured Jalen Brunson. Also in the starting lineup is Shamet, who steps into the spot left vacant by the injured OG Anunoby. Unlike Brunson, who’s considered day-to-day, OG will be out for at least two weeks. Shamet is worth considering in deep leagues, especially after going off for 36 points in Friday’s win over the Heat.

No surprise here as Adebayo has missed the last five games with a toe injury.

Brunson injured his ankle on Wednesday against the Magic, leaving in the fourth quarter.

Jaquez played 34 minutes off the bench with Tyler Herro and Bam Adebayo out. While the Heat will get its stars back at some point, fantasy managers have to be pleased with Jaquez’ production so far.

Powell only has two games with at least 30 points this season, but both have come in his last three games. The 32-year-old shooting guard was basically unstoppable, scoring 38 points on 22 shots and going 8-of-15 from behind the three-point line. Powell has proven in recent years that he’s one of the best scorers in the league and will continue to be one of the Heat’s top players.

With Jalen Brunson out Friday against the Heat, Clarkson played the most minutes (33) and scored the most points (24) that he’d had in a game this season.

Shamet had a unique opportunity in this game. With Jalen Brunson out and OG Anunoby leaving the game early, the 28-year-old shooting guard saw 37 minutes against the Heat. Shamet had to play at a certain point as he was on fire and ended up with 36 points, which was the most of any bench player this season. He’s best used in deeper formats for his scoring and three-point shooting.

Towns only had one 30-point game on the season entering play Friday, but dropped 31 points in the first half against the Heat. The 29-year-old center became the fifth player in Knicks history to score at least 30 points in the first half. Towns scored more points Friday (39) than he had in his previous two games combined (36). Hopefully, he’ll be able to build on this performance and increase his scoring average to be in line with last year’s.

This will be the fifth missed game in a row for Adebayo, who is dealing with a sprained toe. He was seen without a boot earlier in the week, so it seems like his return is close, but it won’t be in New York on Friday. Kel’el Ware will get another start in his place, but he could have a tough night if Mitchell Robinson suits up for New York. If Robinson is out with his own injury management, then Ware should have a strong showing against Karl Anthony Towns in the paint.

One game after securing a game-winning dunk, Wiggins logged another efficient scoring performance in the rematch against the Cavaliers. He had similar shooting efficiency and production from the three-point line in both games, but lacked the free-throw volume this time around. The veteran wing had one of his better rebounding performances of the season on Wednesday while also notching a season-high in assists along the way. Overall, he finished with solid numbers from a fantasy basketball standpoint.

Ware secured his second straight double-double on Wednesday against Miami. He didn’t reach 20 rebounds, as he did on Monday, but was still productive on both the offensive and defensive glass. He’s filled in nicely for Bam Adebayo (toe), who has missed four straight games. It’ll be interesting to see how Ware’s minutes and production will be impacted by Adebayo’s eventual return. Regardless, he continues to put up numbers.

While Towns did post his tenth double-double of the season, this was an underwhelming performance from the 7-footer. He shot 40 percent from the field and was whistled for five fouls on the night. While nights like this have not been the norm for Towns this season, his scoring average (20.2) has decreased by more than four points per game from last season’s (24.4). The good news is that KAT has been productive enough in the other major categories to remain a second-round player in nine-cat formats, sitting a few spots off his Yahoo! ADP (12).

For most of Wednesday’s game, Brunson appeared to be the only Knicks player ready for the physicality that Orlando brought to the table. Unfortunately, he hobbled off the floor late in the fourth quarter after spraining his right ankle, heading to the locker room immediately. After the defeat, Knicks head coach Mike Brown had no information on the severity of Brunson’s injury, but this is something to watch ahead of Friday’s game against the Heat. Brunson left the arena on crutches while wearing a walking boot, and Miles McBride is the player to target in this spot.

Towns recorded yet another double-double on Tuesday, moving his total to nine in 10 games. He’s had better nights shooting the basketball, but it’s the all-around stat line that makes KAT one of the most valuable frontcourt players in fantasy basketball. With Tuesday’s performance, Towns is closing in on top-10 value in eight- and nine-cat formats, which aligns with his Yahoo! ADP (12). The Knicks play twice more during Week 4, starting with the Magic on Wednesday.

Bridges continues to exceed the expectations of many fantasy managers, turning in another excellent all-around performance on Tuesday. He recorded his first 20-point game since Halloween and fourth of the season, but Bridges’ value isn’t measured solely by points. The four steals were a season-high, and he’s dished out at least five assists in seven games. By comparison, he had 29 games of at least five assists the entire 2024-25 season. Bridges is providing top-10 value in nine-cat formats, which may prompt some managers to sell high. However, given his availability — he’s yet to miss an NBA game — it may be better to hold onto Bridges.
