When asked specifically about when Banchero might return, Magic coach Jamahl Mosley said, “They don’t put timelines on it. As he recovers from each session, we’ll go from there.” It sounds like Banchero is day-to-day, but it’s worth noting that there is no immediate plan for him to return this weekend.

Mathews was with the Knicks in training camp before being waived on October 18. He has averaged 6.5 points on 38.2 percent shooting from beyond the arc in his career and should fill a minor role off the Pacers’ bench.

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.

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.

Brunson is back in the lineup after a two-game absence, giving the Knicks a welcome boost on the offensive end of the floor.

This will be a fourth game in a row that Banchero will remain sidelined, which should mean another start for Tristan da Silva, who has played well in that role. He should continue to be rostered until Banchero returns, and it’s unclear how much longer he’ll remain out.

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.

For the third time this season, WCJ was able to record a double-double. He was the leading rebounder in this game, and the Magic outrebounded the Warriors, which contributed to the win. Carter’s minutes are up this year, which has led to him averaging more rebounds than he did in each of the last two seasons. He’ll continue to play a large role for Orlando as the starting center, which should lead to more double-doubles moving forward.

Jalen Suggs (groin) was back after a one-game absence, which pushed Anthony Black back to the bench. However, that didn’t stop Black from having a strong night. After scoring 18 points in Sunday’s loss, Black set a new season-high for scoring in this game. His scoring has been inconsistent, but he has had a handful of strong offensive performances this year. Black’s fantasy upside will remain limited as long as he is in a reserve role behind Suggs and Desmond Bane.

It was a slow start to the year for Bane, but he has been on fire recently. He’s scored at least 20 points in five of his last seven games and his at least two triples in four straight games. Paolo Banchero (groin) is still sidelined, which has forced Bane into a larger opportunity. That has certainly helped him turn his season around. He also set a new season-high for steals, though that isn’t going to be a category he contributes in consistently.

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.

Suggs sat out Sunday’s overtime loss to the Rockets with a sore right groin, resulting in Anthony Black moving into the starting lineup. Black will come off the bench, lowering his fantasy ceiling.

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.

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.

Sunday’s loss to the Rockets was the first that Suggs missed for a reason other than knee injury management, with a sore right groin being the reason for his absence.

The Magic were without Jalen Suggs (groin) for Sunday’s game, leading to Black making his third start of the season. The third-year guard finished two points shy of his previous high and recorded a complete stat line. Rostered in eight percent of Yahoo! leagues, Black is only worth a look on nights when he’s starting for Suggs. Orlando ends Week 5 with a Saturday/Sunday back-to-back, so Black may have added value on those final days.

Bane’s game-winning three-pointer against Portland on November 10 may have provided the spark he needed after starting the season slowly. He’s scored 19 points or more in four straight, and 22 or more in three of those outings. Bane finished Sunday’s overtime loss with a complete stat line, and he’s attempted 38 shots in the two games Orlando has played without Paolo Banchero (groin). The “buy low” period for Bane has likely come to an end. The Magic play four games during Week 5, starting with the Warriors on Tuesday.

Wagner has totaled 54 points in the two games the Magic have played since losing Paolo Banchero to a strained groin, shooting 15-of-38 from the field. While shooting efficiency has taken a hit, the raw numbers help compensate. Sunday’s game was the last of Orlando’s road trip, so more should be learned about Banchero’s injury and how long he’ll be out pretty soon. Until he returns, Wagner will be the unquestioned first option for Orlando on the offensive end of the floor.

As opposed to other instances in which he’s sat for knee injury management reasons, Jalen Suggs is out on Sunday with a sore right groin.

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

Anunoby left Friday’s game against the Heat after only five minutes with a hamstring injury. The 28-year-old small forward is now set to miss the next two weeks, at which point he’ll be re-evaluated.

Sunday’s game is the last Orlando will play on its current road trip, so more should be learned about the severity of Banchero’s injury and how much more time he’ll miss early next week.

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. The 33-year-old point guard is averaging 15.8 minutes and 9.1 points this year, which simply isn’t enough to be fantasy viable in his typical role.

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.

With Paolo Banchero (groin) sidelined, da Silva slid into the starting unit and took full advantage of the opportunity. He played 32 minutes and had his best offensive performance of the season, which included a clutch triple with less than two minutes left to get Orlando within a point.

Turnovers aside, Suggs had a productive night against Brooklyn, but what is most encouraging is the minutes. He logged 28 minutes and has played at least 25 minutes in each of his last three games. Considering he had been limited to roughly 20 minutes prior to that, he’s clearly getting closer to being at full strength. That doesn’t mean he’s going to play back-to-backs, but this is a positive development for Suggs.

Bane entered this game having scored exactly 22 points in three of his last four games, and while he wasn’t able to match that mark again, he was still able to have a solid night. What is even more encouraging is that he continues to play big minutes and get plenty of shots. His 18 shots matched his second-most attempts in a game this season, and his 40 minutes were a season-best. Especially if Paolo Banchero (groin) remains out, Bane will continue to play a larger role on offense, which should help him get back to producing how he did in Memphis.

Wagner was excellent last season when Paolo Banchero was unavailable, and that continued on Friday, with Banchero sidelined with a groin injury. Wagner turned in a strong line and came up big late; he knocked down back-to-back triples with less than two minutes left in the game to move the Magic from down one point to up five. Wagner has been solid all season, but if Banchero misses more time, Wagner will continue to produce like a fantasy star.

In his own words after the game on Friday, Banchero said that he believed he avoided a serious injury, and the MRI results would back that up. While a groin strain is not great news, it’s far better than there being any sort of tear. The Magic can afford to hold Banchero out against the lowly Nets and then he will “be evaluated daily moving forward.” That means he could return on Sunday against the Rockets or, more likely, sometime next week. In the meantime, Franz Wagner will see a bigger role in the office, and Anthony Black should get more minutes off the bench.

Banchero said he hurt his groin when he leapt for a rebound and then tried to accelerate quickly. He felt soreness on a couple of trips up and down the court and decided to remove himself from the game before it got worse. “This (groin injury), I can still do movements. There just was a pain there. (Trainers) said if it was torn or anything, I wouldn’t be able to do anything. So, that’s encouraging.” The Magic have no timeline for Banchero’s injury as of yet, but they will have a better idea after the 23-year-old undergoes imaging.

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.

Back on the bench after starting Monday’s win over Portland for the then-absent Jalen Suggs, Black stepped up with one of his best performances of the season Wednesday night. The 17 points are the most he’s scored in a game since October 30, when he dropped a season-high 20 on the Bulls. With Black being his usual annoying self on the defensive end, he helped limit the Knicks to 44.3 percent shooting. However, good showing aside, Black is a player most valuable to fantasy managers on nights when Suggs (14/2/3/1/1 with one three-pointer) is unavailable.

At this rate, Bane’s game-winning shot against Portland on Monday may be what fantasy managers look back on as the turning point in his season. Two nights removed from that much-needed event, Bane scored another 22 points on Wednesday while also dishing out eight assists. Over the past week, he has been a sixth-round player in nine-cat formats. While that doesn’t align with his Yahoo! ADP (45), Bane is headed in the right direction.

With Paolo Banchero exiting Wednesday’s game during the second quarter with a strained groin, the Magic needed additional production from Wagner. He stepped up, recording a complete line to lead Orlando to arguably its most impressive win of the season. Wagner is providing fourth-round per-game value in eight- and nine-cat formats, closing in on his Yahoo! ADP (36). Orlando hosts Brooklyn on Friday in what could be another big game for Wagner, especially if Banchero can’t play.

Banchero suffered a strained left groin during the first half, exiting with 6:40 remaining in the second quarter. Jonathan Isaac replaced the Magic forward in the lineup to begin the third quarter, and he may be thrust into a starting role if Banchero misses time.

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.

The only negatives for Brunson were the six turnovers and New York’s inability to shut the door on the Grizzlies.
