Booker sprained his right ankle during the third quarter of Friday’s loss to the Hawks. Starting with Sunday’s game against the Heat, he’ll miss at least four games before being re-evaluated. Grayson Allen, Collin Gillespie and Jordan Goodwin will take on added importance for the Suns while they await Booker’s return.

Green was pulled from Friday’s loss to the Hawks for precautionary reasons, and his official injury is “right hamstring injury management.” That’s good news for the Suns’ guard, who played two games before aggravating the initial strain during a game in early November. With Devin Booker (ankle) out, the Suns will need more production from Grayson Allen, Collin Gillespie and Jordan Goodwin.

On a day when Mikal Bridges (9/3/4 with one three-pointer) and Miles McBride (9/1/2/2 with one three-pointer) combined to shoot 2-of-17 from beyond the arc, Shamet gave the Knicks excellent minutes off the bench. This is the first time he’s reached double figures in consecutive games since returning from a shoulder injury that sidelined him for 25 games. Shamet isn’t worth rostering when the Knicks are whole, but the last two games were a step in the right direction.

While not a prolific scorer, Hart’s ability to fill a stat line makes him highly valuable to category league managers. On Saturday, he recorded his ninth double-double of the season and first since returning from an ankle injury suffered on Christmas Day that sidelined him for eight games. However, Hart has struggled from the foul line, making 38.5 percent of his attempts over the past two weeks.

After totaling 14 points on 5-of-12 shooting in his prior two appearances, Anunoby snapped out of his mini-slump in a big way on Saturday. Shooting 66.7 percent from the field, the Knicks’ wing was a blocked shot shy of a complete stat line. Anunoby’s production helped compensate for Karl-Anthony Towns’ (10/6/1/0/1 with one three-pointer) poor afternoon, as he played 16 minutes before fouling out. The Knicks play four games in Week 15, starting with the Kings on Tuesday.

After dropping their first two meetings with the 76ers, both at home, the Knicks picked up a vital victory on Saturday. Brunson led the way offensively, recording his 18th 30-point game of the season. His fantasy value has taken a hit recently, with his decreased scoring the culprit. Brunson doesn’t bring much value in the defensive categories, making offensive production that much more important in category leagues.

Gillespie has been fantastic for the Suns this season, and with injuries to both Devin Booker (ankle) and Jalen Green (hamstring), he’s only going to become more important. He was solid in this game and should continue to be a strong source of triples, assists and steals, but he’ll have more upside as a scorer if the Suns remain this shorthanded. If Booker and Green remain out against the Heat on Sunday, Gillespie should be in for a big performance.

Allen came off the bench once again, but that may not be the case for long. Both Devin Booker (ankle) and Jalen Green (hamstring) exited early from this game, and if they remain out, Allen should slide into the starting lineup and take on more minutes. He’s rostered in just 35 percent of Yahoo! leagues, but that should change quickly with the recent injury news.

Booker was in the midst of a big night before injuring his ankle, which forced him to exit early and not return. He was seen using crutches after the game to avoid putting pressure on it. The team should provide an update in the coming days, but with Jalen Green (hamstring) also exiting early, Grayson Allen and Jordan Goodwin should see a bump in minutes and production. Hopefully this isn’t a long-term absence for Booker.

The Suns are calling it “precautionary right hamstring tightness,” so hopefully this doesn’t end up being another long-term absence for him. He only played four minutes in the first half. His absence should open up minutes for Grayson Allen and Jordan Goodwin.

If Towns isn’t able to suit up, Mitchell Robinson would start in his place. Ariel Hukporti would also see a bump in minutes off the bench, though he wouldn’t be worth streaming. Towns’ absence would open up plenty of shots and minutes, and Robinson would receive a nice value boost as a starter.

After totaling 48 points in losses to the Warriors and Suns, McBride crashed back to earth on Monday with a five-point performance against the Mavericks. He got back on track Wednesday night, shooting 50 percent from the field and finishing a blocked shot shy of a complete line. With Jalen Brunson healthy, McBride’s fantasy upside is limited, but he can still be of value to deep-league managers.

Shamet was red-hot from beyond the arc on Wednesday, making all six of his attempts on the night. While his role doesn’t make him a viable option in most fantasy leagues, the Knicks’ reserve has averaged 2.3 three-pointers per game since returning from a shoulder injury. Shamet will only be worth a look on nights when the Knicks are shorthanded on the wings.

Wednesday went as well as it could have for Brunson and the Knicks, who entered their game with the Nets 2-9 in their last 11 games. The Knicks set a franchise record for margin of victory (54 points), and Brunson didn’t have to over-exert himself. Of course, fantasy managers would have hoped for a more competitive game, as the point guard may have logged more than 31 minutes. Saturday’s game against the 76ers stands to be far more competitive.

While Goodwin has been ranked well outside the top-100 in eight- and nine-cat formats, he had another good night off the bench. He only needed 20 minutes to record Tuesday’s stat line, a performance that should go a long way toward guaranteeing him a spot in the rotation with Jalen Green (hamstring) making his return. Goodwin isn’t worth rostering in most leagues, but that could change if the Suns were to lose a wing to injury.

Allen is most valuable to fantasy managers needing three-point production, and he’s made at least four in six consecutive games. However, his fantasy value isn’t limited to one category. Allen also offered solid production in the rebound and assist categories, and he has been a top-75 player over the past two weeks despite shooting 40.9 percent from the field.

Appearing in a game for the first time since November 8, Green was under a minutes restriction on Tuesday. He played 20 minutes and provided decent production in that role. Given the time missed, fantasy managers should not expect to see Green playing starters’ minutes anytime soon. Collin Gillespie remained in the starting lineup, finishing with 12 points, four rebounds, four assists and three three-pointers in 28 minutes. He’s worth holding onto as Green works his way back into the fold, but Gillespie’s playing time will take a hit.

While the efficiency was lacking, Booker received plenty of help from the Suns’ reserves as Phoenix moved to 3-2 on its current six-game road trip. In addition to the low field-goal percentage, Booker was responsible for six of the Suns’ 22 turnovers. He’s had better nights, but the star guard still offered solid value in points and assists.

An afterthought in most fantasy circles before the season began, Gillespie continues to surprise many. The Suns guard had another excellent night on Monday, shooting 70 percent from the field and recording a complete stat line. However, there may be an issue on the horizon for Gillespie managers. Jalen Green (hamstring) is expected to return on Tuesday in Philadelphia, and some of his minutes may come at Gillespie’s expense once he’s playing without any restrictions. Gillespie managers don’t need to panic, but that is something to watch.

Booker has scored at least 22 points in each of his last three appearances. However, he’s shot just 41.1 percent from the field over the past two weeks, which is why the Suns’ guard has not been a top-100 player during this stretch. Booker doesn’t bring much to the table in the defensive stats, and the assist production has not been what many hoped it would be before the season began. While the season-long value has been good, some fantasy managers may be disappointed that Booker has “only” been a top-50 player in eight-cat formats.

Brooks continues to exceed expectations as a scorer, with Monday’s performance pushing his average to 20.9 points per game. However, there were two negatives for fantasy managers in his most recent outing. For the sixth time in his last six appearances, Brooks did not record any defensive stats. More important than that was the Suns’ wing picking up his 14th technical foul of the season. If it isn’t rescinded, Brooks will be two away from an automatic one-game suspension.

Robinson may have been the only Knicks player to bring consistent energy during the first half of Monday’s game. He finished with 15 rebounds and a double-double, his second double-double of the season. The combination of inconsistent availability and limited scoring makes Robinson challenging to rely on in most fantasy leagues. However, nights like Monday are a reminder of what he’s capable of despite the minutes restriction.

Towns may have recorded a solid stat line, but looks can be deceiving. His penchant for committing silly fouls continued, and the aggression needed from a player of KAT’s caliber was not always there.

As bad as the Knicks’ January 5 loss to the Pistons was, Monday’s performance may have been worse. They couldn’t string together stops against a depleted Mavericks team and also struggled to make shots. Brunson’s points and assists were solid, but he shot the ball poorly in a game the Knicks were never really in. The Knicks will look to bounce back on Wednesday when they host the Nets.

Suns coach Jordan Ott said that he wanted to give Green an extra day of rest since he knew he wouldn’t play both legs of the back-to-back. Green will likely have his minutes limited, which means he could come off the bench in his first game back.

For the first time since Halloween, Anunoby has recorded back-to-back 20-point games. He didn’t shoot the ball well against the Suns, but the rebounds, assists and steals should help compensate for the field-goal percentage. The assists and steals have been down recently, which has led to Anunoby being a ninth-round player in eight-cat formats over the past two weeks. However, his season-long value continues to exceed his Yahoo! ADP (66).

Towns recorded a double-double, but the performance felt a bit underwhelming from the Knicks’ star center. Phoenix’s physicality on defense appeared to affect KAT, who attempted half of his shots from beyond the arc. Shooting 43.3 percent from the field, he has only been a top-75 player over the past two weeks. Towns and the Knicks will look to bounce back on Monday against the Mavericks, the first of three games they’ll play in Week 14.

McBride put forth another quality performance filling in for Jalen Brunson, posting consecutive 20-point games for the first time this season.

While he did not record a blocked shot, Goodwin’s final stat line was a reminder of what he can provide on a nightly basis.

After putting up 20 three-pointers in Thursday’s loss to the Pistons, Allen chucked up 13 more on Saturday. While the percentage wasn’t the best, getting four three-pointers out of the Suns’ guard is a solid deal for fantasy managers.

Booker didn’t have a great night shooting the basketball, but his ability to get to the foul line boosted the final points tally.

Anunoby has scored 20 points or more in three of his last five games, but he hasn’t produced consecutive 20-point efforts since the end of October. While he did miss nine games in November/December due to injury, he has tended to take a back seat offensively more often than not. That wasn’t the case on Thursday, as Jalen Brunson’s absence led to Anunoby having his second game with at least 20 attempts this season. If Brunson’s forced to miss multiple games, Anunoby’s fantasy value may receive the most significant boost of the Knicks’ four healthy starters.

After managing just four rebounds in Wednesday’s loss to the Kings, Towns was far more active on the glass against the Warriors. The 20 rebounds were a season-high for the Knicks’ center, who also recorded his fourth double-double in five games. Unfortunately, Towns’ tendency to pick up silly fouls was once again an issue. While he didn’t foul out, foul trouble parked KAT on the bench at suboptimal times. And the Knicks can’t afford that, especially with Jalen Brunson (ankle) out. Towns will look to end Week 13 on a positive note when the Knicks host the Suns on Saturday.

More should be learned about the severity of Brunson’s injury when the team returns home on Friday. Fantasy managers might as well add McBride before an announcement is made, just to be safe.
