Robinson will miss the second leg of New York’s back-to-back, which shouldn’t come as a surprise. The last time he was unavailable, Ariel Hukporti filled out 12 reserve minutes at center, where he was unproductive in fantasy hoops.

Portis didn’t make the initial injury report, but now there is a chance he is held out against Detroit. His potential absence would likely result in his minutes being divided among Myles Turner, Kyle Kuzma and Jericho Sims, which doesn’t open the door for any streaming options.

While he matched his season-high with 11 assists, Brunson had his worst scoring game of the season on Tuesday. The 15 points were a season low, and the Knicks’ point guard had not shot below 30 percent from the field since the season-opening win over Cleveland. Boston did a good job of making Brunson uncomfortable offensively, and his off night was too much to overcome in the end. He’ll look to rebound when the Knicks host the Hornets on Wednesday.

Hart has scored at least 19 points in four straight games, and the overall value has made him one of the best options in fantasy basketball over this period. Over the past week, the Knicks forward has been a top-10 player in eight- and nine-cat formats, cracking the top-5 in the former. After a slow start to the season, in part due to finger and back injuries, Hart has locked into a comfortable role and flourished. He’s rostered in 81 percent of Yahoo! leagues, and that number may increase before the end of Week 7.

While the Knicks’ four-game win streak ended on Tuesday, Towns had another encouraging offensive performance. After scoring 28 points on 8-of-21 shooting in wins over the Hornets and Bucks, KAT has totaled 51 points on 20-of-35 shooting over the last two. He’s providing third-round value in eight- and nine-cat formats, performing slightly better in the former. If Towns plays on Wednesday against the Hornets, that could be a big game for him, given Charlotte’s defensive struggles (24th in points allowed and defensive rating).

After scoring five points on 2-of-4 from the field in the first half, Bridges caught fire and nearly helped the Knicks erase a 21-point second-half deficit. He hit seven three-pointers and scored 30 points, finishing with a season-high 35. In fact, this was Bridges’ first game with at least 20 points since November 17 against the Heat. The good news for those who have him rostered is that Bridges’ fantasy value isn’t solely dependent on points. He continues to provide top-10 value in nine-cat formats but should not be considered a “sell-high” option.

Harris was not available for Monday’s loss to the Wizards, resulting in a few more minutes for fellow reserve Gary Trent Jr. While Trent’s playing 31 minutes was encouraging, his production has not been consistent enough to make him a must-roster player in most fantasy leagues.

Due to left adductor strain injury management, Antetokounmpo is back on the Bucks’ injury report. The good news is that he’s considered probable, so he’s likely to play. If not, Kyle Kuzma will likely return to the starting lineup. In that spot, Kuzma would be worth rostering, even with the efficiency concerns.

KPJ dropped 30 points in Sunday’s loss to Washington, but he left midway through the fourth quarter with lower back spasms. The back issue may keep him sidelined, and if he is unavailable, Ryan Rollins would presumably soak up additional minutes.

Antetokounmpo was still able to pour in the points, but after scoring 29 points in 19 minutes in Milwaukee’s last game, this one was underwhelming. He has scored at least 25 points in all three games since he returned from a four-game absence with a groin injury, and the only game this year in which he failed to score 20 points was the game that he exited after scoring 14 points in 13 minutes. Giannis will continue to dominate usage for Milwaukee, though up next is a tough matchup with Detroit.

KPJ made his return to the lineup on Saturday and was solid in that game after missing 19 games with a knee injury. However, he was a stud in this game before exiting with 6:37 left in the fourth due to lower back spasms. This shouldn’t be a lengthy absence for KPJ, but there is a chance he misses Wednesday’s game against the Pistons. Still, this was a phenomenal performance for him, and he has a chance to have a special season, as long as he remains healthy.

The veteran guard has been a consistent part of the Bucks’ rotation off the bench, though he’s currently averaging the fewest points and minutes per game of his career. In his absence, Amir Coffey could be the recipient of a boost in minutes, while Gary Trent Jr. may see even more opportunities than usual.

Hart played a pivotal role in this one as he remained sizzling-hot on the offensive end of the floor, eclipsing 19 points for the third consecutive game. He knocked down four of seven three-pointers and pulled down 12 rebounds to record his fifth double-double of the season. The Knicks will carry a five-game win streak into a road tilt on Tuesday against the Celtics before closing out a four-game week with matchup against the Hornets, Jazz and Magic.

Towns and Mitchell Robinson — who grabbed a staggering 15 rebounds in just 16 minutes off the bench — teamed up to help New York overwhelm Toronto on the glass, 61-40, in a one-sided affair. The 30-year-old big man is averaging nearly 22 points and 12 rebounds per-game through 19 games this season, delivering second-round value from a fantasy standpoint.

Rollins led the Bucks with 31 minutes played, but he wasn’t as productive as he has been in recent weeks. The return of Kevin Porter Jr. (knee) may have impacted Rollins’ production. This game isn’t the best data point due to the lopsided score, but this is a situation worth monitoring over the next few weeks. Rollins is clearly enjoying a breakout season and is going to be a productive player for a long time. But KPJ could impact Rollins’ usage in the short term. Hopefully that trend won’t continue, and he’ll get back on track on Monday against the Wizards.

Antetokounmpo only played 19 minutes due to the lopsided score, but that was more than enough time for him to pour in the points. Typically, Giannis will be even more dominant than he was in this game, but he was still able to make a huge impact in limited action. Up next is another matchup with a team at the bottom of the standings, with a trip to Washington on Monday. Hopefully that game will be closer so Giannis can surpass 20 minutes.

KPJ injured his knee in the season opener and has been sidelined since. In his first game back, he immediately returned to the starting lineup. He logged 25 minutes, but that may not have been because of a minutes restriction since the game was lopsided until garbage time. KPJ is available in 64 percent of Yahoo! leagues, but if his first game back is any indicator, he is worth adding off the waiver wire.

Porter is back, with Saturday’s game being his first since late October. He’ll start with Gary Trent Jr. being bumped to the bench. That’s good news for those who have Ryan Rollins, especially if this is the lineup that Doc Rivers decides to stick with moving forward. Giannis is also good to go after logging 28 minutes in his first game back from a strained groin on Friday. Look for him to be under a similar minutes limit against the Nets.

Sidelined since late October, Porter is ready to make his return to the court. While the Bucks have not divulged an official minutes limit, fantasy managers should not expect to see Porter take on a full workload in his first game back. Something to watch as KPJ shakes off the rust is how his return impacts Ryan Rollins’ playing time. Rollins has been excellent so far, but Porter’s return gives the Bucks another playmaker to call on.

Porter has been out since late October after undergoing a minor procedure on his right knee. The 25-year-old is listed as questionable, which at least gives him a chance of suiting up against the Nets on Saturday. Ryan Rollins has been excellent in Porter’s absence and should hold on to his starting job even when Porter returns.

Kuzma’s return to the bench did not affect his production negatively on Friday. He made his first seven attempts from the field, and the 20 points were the most he’s scored in a game since November 14 (season-high 29 vs. Charlotte). Fantasy managers who were eager to drop Kuzma will want to hold off on that, especially with the Bucks hosting the Nets on Saturday. If Giannis Antetokounmpo (groin) gets the night off, Kuzma will be back with the starters in what should be an advantageous matchup for him.

While Green’s production has not made him much more than a specialist within fantasy basketball, he continues to hold down his place within the Bucks’ starting lineup. He hit six more three-pointers on Friday, establishing a new season-high. Green finished a blocked shot shy of a complete stat line, and he has provided top-100 value over the past week. Still, he remains a player who’s only worth a look from managers seeking three-point production.

Antetokounmpo was back in the lineup after a four-game absence. While Bucks head coach Doc Rivers said before the game that the former MVP would be under a minutes restriction, he did not divulge a specific number. Giannis played 28 minutes and looked sharp when on the floor. Kyle Kuzma returned to the bench but was still productive, scoring 20 points. With Milwaukee facing the Nets on Saturday, they may give Giannis the night off for injury management reasons.

After knocking down five three-pointers and scoring 19 points in Wednesday’s win over the Hornets, McBride duplicated that performance two nights later. A starter in each of the Knicks’ last three games, Deuce has hit double figures in four of his last five. With Landry Shamet (shoulder) out for at least four weeks and OG Anunoby (hamstring) also out, McBride may be locked into the starting lineup for long enough to merit being streamed until the latter returns. The Knicks end Week 6 with a home game against the Raptors on Sunday.

On a night when Karl-Anthony Towns (9/10/4/0/1 with one three-pointer) and Jordan Clarkson (6/4/3) combined to shoot 4-of-21 from the field, Hart stepped up and gave the Knicks important offensive production. The move back into the starting lineup has been great for the versatile wing, who has totaled 41 points over the last two games. We’ll see what happens when OG Anunoby returns from his hamstring injury, but it may be more likely that Miles McBride returns to the bench than Hart.

Brunson has consistently tormented the Bucks, averaging 36 points per game since joining the Knicks. With that in mind, Friday’s performance should have been expected from the point guard, who led New York to the top spot in East Group C and a place in the NBA Cup quarterfinals. He’s scored at least 33 points in three of his last four games and has been close to a top-25 player in eight- and nine-cat formats over the past week. The Knicks host the Raptors, who they’ll visit in the NBA Cup quarterfinals, on Sunday in a non-Cup matchup.

Antetokounmpo has missed Milwaukee’s last four games, most recently sitting out Wednesday’s loss to the Heat. Gary Trent Jr. was his replacement in the starting lineup for that one, playing 35 minutes and scoring 15 points. Bobby Portis and Jericho Sims have also made starts due to Antetokounmpo’s injury, with Portis offering the highest fantasy ceiling.

The sharpshooting guard was productive from beyond the arc, as usual, against Miami. However, his playmaking was the bigger story on Wednesday. Green posted a season-high in assists and came within two assists of his first double-double of the season. There aren’t many reasons to believe Green can sustain this level of playmaking over the long term. He likely isn’t worth a roster spot in fantasy leagues.

Turner had one of his more productive games in quite some time on Wednesday. Accurate shooting inside the arc helped the veteran center set a new season-high in points, and also log his third 20-point outing of the season. Poor shooting from beyond the arc and a few misses from the charity stripe prevented him from producing more. Still, Turner did his part and nearly notched a double-double in the loss.

Rollins bounced back from an inefficient 10-point, 4-of-14 shooting performance against the Trail Blazers. He made four triples alone against the Heat and tied a season-high in rebounds along the way. He led Milwaukee in scoring, but ultimately it wasn’t enough to stop the Bucks’ skid — they’ve now lost six games in a row, but will have a chance to end the streak on Friday against the Knicks.

Fantasy managers can count on Bridges for efficient scoring and complete stat lines, which has been quite the departure from his first season with the Knicks. He didn’t make any three-pointers on Wednesday, but that doesn’t matter much when you record five “stocks” as Mikal did. He’s still providing top-10 value in nine-cat formats and shouldn’t be considered a “sell-high” candidate given his overall production and durability.

Making a second consecutive start, McBride had one of his best performances of the season in Charlotte. He shot 5-of-5 from beyond the arc, with the 19 points being six shy of his season-high. With Landry Shamet (shoulder) out for at least a month, McBride will be a key figure for the Knicks, whether he starts or comes off the bench. From a fantasy standpoint, he’s more valuable as a starter than as a reserve.

Despite Mitchell Robinson (five rebounds, one assist, three steals and one blocked shot in 17 minutes) returning from an illness, Knicks head coach Mike Brown decided to stick with Hart and Miles McBride in the starting lineup. The move paid off, with Hart scoring 19 first-half points in his best offensive performance of the season. He didn’t do a whole lot after halftime, but the damage had been done. To say Hart managers will take the final stat line he recorded on Wednesday would be an understatement. We’ll see if Brown sticks with the same lineup on Friday when the Knicks host the Bucks.

Needing a comfortable victory to increase their chances of advancing to the NBA Cup quarterfinals, Brunson and the Knicks beat Charlotte by a 129-101 margin. The captain has scored at least 27 points in all four games he’s played since returning from an ankle injury, including two games with 33. During this stretch, Brunson has provided top-40 value in nine-cat formats, which aligns with his season-long production. The Knicks can clinch the top spot in East Group C with a win over the Bucks on Friday.

The Bucks are without Giannis Antetokounmpo for a fourth straight game, as he continues to recover from a strained groin. Head coach Doc Rivers has decided to go small, moving Trent into the starting lineup. This raises his fantasy ceiling, making the guard worth a look even with nine games on Wednesday’s schedule. Jericho Sims and Bobby Portis will come off the bench, with the latter worth streaming despite that role.

Rollins had to deal with Portland’s Toumani Camara for most of Monday’s game, and the impact on his output was unsurprisingly negative. Monday’s game was just the fourth this season in which the fourth-year guard scored 10 points or less, so there isn’t too much to be worried about. A late-round option in drafts before the season began, Rollins has been a fourth-round player in nine-cat formats, representing one of the best values in fantasy basketball. He’ll look to bounce back when the Bucks face the Heat on Wednesday.

In the three games since Milwaukee lost Giannis Antetokounmpo (groin) during a November 17 loss to the Cavaliers, Portis has scored 19, 18 and 22 points. After starting the first two games, Portis was back on the bench Monday night, but that didn’t prevent him from recording his first 20-point game of the season. As long as Portis continues to hit the mid-to-high 20s in minutes, he’s worth trusting while the Bucks await Giannis’ return, especially with the Bucks having three more games in Week 6.

Turner recorded his second double-double in three games on Monday, but the production since Milwaukee lost Giannis Antetokounmpo to a strained groin has been underwhelming. Over the last three games, the Bucks’ center has averaged 12.3 points on 39.4 percent shooting from the field. The good news is that the rebounds, blocks and three-pointers have been there, but a more accurate Turner would be more valuable to fantasy managers. The good news is that Milwaukee plays three more games during Week 6, starting with the Heat on Wednesday.

With Landry Shamet (shoulder) joining OG Anunoby (hamstring) on the sideline, Hart made his first start of the season on Monday. And he did “Josh Hart” things in Brooklyn, recording a solid stat line that was only lacking in points and field-goal percentage.

While his overall stat line may have been pedestrian by his standards, Brunson took advantage of a subpar opponent to produce an efficient scoring night. He shot over 50 percent from the field and has tallied at least 27 points in five straight games. Over the past two weeks, Brunson has been a top-25 player in nine-cat formats, according to Basketball Monster. With games against the Hornets and Bucks to end Week 6, he’s capable of pushing his season-long value into the top-25.

After struggling in Saturday’s loss to the Magic, Towns was much better in the penultimate game of the Knicks’ five-game road trip. He recorded his third 30-point double-double of the season, with the 37 points being two shy of his high. Just as importantly for those who have Towns rostered, his fingerprints were all over Monday’s game. Sure, the opposition wasn’t the best, but nights like Monday are why KAT remains one of the top frontcourt players in fantasy basketball. Wednesday’s game against the Hornets could potentially be another good matchup for Towns.

Already without OG Anunoby, the Knicks won’t have Landry Shamet or Mitchell Robinson for Monday’s game, either. As a result, McBride and Hart move into the starting lineup. Due to an illness, the former did not play in Saturday’s loss to the Magic, despite the Knicks never officially ruling him out.
