Sunday’s game will be McBride’s first since March 20, while Payne played rotation minutes off the bench in Saturday’s win over the Hawks. The Knicks will have their full point guard rotation against the Suns, as starter Jalen Brunson is also available. His presence means that McBride and Payne will provide limited fantasy value coming off the bench.

Brunson is back after a 15-game absence and will be in the Knicks’ starting lineup. His return means Delon Wright heads to the bench, and the veteran backup may fall out of the rotation entirely, as Miles McBride and Cameron Payne are also available. The few who streamed Wright can drop him onto the waiver wire.

Camara is back after sitting out Friday’s game against the Bulls. He was replaced in the starting lineup by Matisse Thybulle, who may remain in that role since the Blazers will not have Deni Avdija. If so, that would preserve what little streaming value Thybulle possesses in fantasy leagues.

Simons will miss a fourth straight game with a forearm injury, which means Dalano Banton will remain in the starting lineup. Banton’s efficiency can be problematic, but he’s worth streaming due to the Blazers’ lack of healthy options.

Cissoko is available to play on Sunday, giving the Blazers another option on the wing. With Deni Avdija and Jerami Grant among the absentees, rotation minutes may be available for Cissoko, but he should not be streamed in fantasy leagues.

Grant’s continued absence is unsurprising; managers whose leagues run through Week 23 would be wise to drop him onto the waiver wire. Sidy Cissoko is available and may play rotation minutes, especially with Deni Avdija also out. However, there’s no need to consider streaming him. As for Reath, he has not played the minutes needed to impact fantasy basketball, so his absence will not make a significant difference.

Avdija will not play on Sunday, leaving the Trail Blazers without a player who has recently been the team’s best offensive option. Anfernee Simons is a game-time decision, and his return would undoubtedly help Portland account for Avdija’s absence. Kris Murray’s playing time will likely increase, but he has not done enough to merit being streamed.

Payne is dealing with a minor ankle tweak but appears set to play on Sunday. He likely won’t need to start with Jalen Brunson ready for a return, so he and Miles McBride should be prepared to serve smaller roles than they have lately.

McBride has missed eight games with a groin injury but has a chance to return against Phoenix. He will back up Jalen Brunson if he’s active, so fantasy managers should expect his ceiling to be lower than it was during his stint as a starter.

While Avdija was added to Portland’s injury report late on Friday, he still played 35 minutes in that night’s loss to the Bulls. As for Camara, he did not play after spraining his ankle during Thursday’s win over the Raptors. Matisse Thybulle logged 27 minutes as his replacement in the starting lineup but failed to provide the value needed to be a worthwhile streamer.

Grant has not appeared in a game since March 9, which is unlikely to change on Sunday. Deni Avdija has been firmly entrenched in the starting lineup ever since and has done enough to merit being rostered in most fantasy leagues. As for Henderson, Sunday’s game will be the fifth he’s missed due to concussion protocols. Dalano Banton has played consistent rotation minutes, recently starting since the Blazers were also without Anfernee Simons.

Hart finished one rebound shy of another triple-double in the Knicks’ comfortable win over the Hawks. Over the past two weeks, he has provided third-round value in eight- and nine-cat formats, which isn’t far removed from his season-long production. Hart and the Knicks end Week 22 with a home game against the reeling Suns on Sunday.

After a disappointing performance in which he only attempted six shots in a loss to the Cavaliers on Wednesday, Bridges was far more involved as a scorer on Saturday. The 20 points were two fewer than his total in New York’s first two games of Week 22, and Mikal has recorded five assists or more in four of his last six outings. The next test for Bridges will be to keep this going once Jalen Brunson returns from his ankle injury, which could be as soon as Sunday against Phoenix.

Make it nine straight games with at least 23 points for Anunoby, who was impactful on both ends of the floor in Saturday’s victory. According to Basketball Monster, he’s ranked fourth in eight- and nine-cat formats over the past two weeks. Anunoby’s hot streak occurred at the right time for those who have him on their roster and are looking to win their leagues. The Knicks end Week 22 with a home game against the Suns on Sunday.

While there was a brief injury scare during the second quarter of Saturday’s game, with Towns exiting briefly, he was able to return and continue to dominate offensively. He’s recorded a double-double in eight consecutive games, with Saturday’s being the third of the 30-point variety. Given Phoenix’s struggles at the center position, Sunday could be another big day for KAT, especially if Jalen Brunson (ankle) returns.

Payne will be back after a four-game absence, but he won’t return to the starting unit. He’ll play the backup point guard minutes behind Delon Wright, which will likely push rookie Tyler Kolek out of the rotation. With Jalen Brunson set to return on Sunday, Wright will only have one more game of streaming appeal.

Robinson will miss a second-straight game, with both coming as part of separate back-to-backs.

Brunson will miss his 15th-straight game on Saturday when the Knicks take on the Hawks. However, he should be back to close out the week on the second night of their back-to-back. Miles McBride (groin) could return for that game as well. Cameron Payne, who is probable to play against Atlanta, should split the point guard minutes with Delon Wright on Saturday.

Clingan has grabbed at least 18 rebounds in three games this season, with Friday’s effort being his first since February 12. The rookie center did not have a good night shooting the basketball, but he provided solid value as a rebounder and defender. Clingan has been a top-100 player in nine-cat formats over the past three weeks, and he won’t lack playing time with Deandre Ayton and Robert Williams III done for the season. Portland hosts San Antonio in its final game of Week 22 on Sunday.

While Sharpe could not extend his streak of 30-point games to three, he has scored at least 17 in nine straight. The issue on Friday was his inefficiency, as he shot 7-of-23 from the field. By comparison, Sharpe shot 49.3 percent from the field in the first eight games of this run. Over the past three weeks, he has provided sixth-round value in eight- and nine-cat formats, taking advantage of the Trail Blazers being shorthanded on the wings.

Banton has started Portland’s last three games, filling in for the injured Anfernee Simons. He hasn’t shot the ball well, making just 37.5 percent of his attempts, but Banton has averaged 18.3 points, 4.3 rebounds, 3.3 assists, 1.7 blocks and 2.0 three-pointers per game. A 12th-round player in eight-cat formats during this three-game stretch, Banton will be worth streaming on Sunday if Simons and Scoot Henderson remain out. But that’s only if managers can afford to take a hit in the field-goal percentage category.

The Trail Blazers will miss out on the postseason for a fourth consecutive season, but the team has to be pleased with what they’ve seen from Avdija, especially over the past month. He’s scored 30 points or more six times since the beginning of March, providing top-10 value in eight- and nine-cat formats. Avdija has been a league-winner down the stretch, and the good news for managers who have him rostered is that Portland is not finished with Week 22. They return home to host the Spurs on Sunday.

Simons has been downgraded from questionable to out, which means more playing time for Dalano Banton.

Avdija is a late addition to the Trail Blazers’ injury report, which is an ominous development for those who have him rostered. With Toumani Camara also out, Dalano Banton’s fantasy ceiling should be raised, even if Anfernee Simons is available.

Banton got a second-straight start, and after struggling on offense in the first one, he had far more success on Thursday. He matched his season-high for points, which he has now reached four times this season.

They have two more games this week, including the second night of a back-to-back in Chicago on Friday.

Sharpe is ending the season on a high note. He’ll be 22 in May, and he clearly still has loads of untapped potential. This was his sixth time scoring at least 20 points in his last seven appearances, and it ended up being his second-straight game with at least 30 points. He tied his career-high for scoring, which he set back in February. Sharpe has started in place of the injured Jerami Grant, but it would be a surprise if he wasn’t a full-time starter next season.

Two days after recording the second triple-double of his career, Avdija turned in another monster stat line. He didn’t get enough assists to add another triple-double, but he was a beast on the glass once again. This was the fifth time in his last 12 appearances that he came away with at least 15 rebounds. Avdija’s incredible finish to the season should make him an enticing option heading into fantasy drafts next season. Over the past two weeks, he has provided first-round value in nine-cat leagues.

Brunson has missed New York’s last 14 games with a sprained right ankle. Cleared to resume basketball activities on Sunday, the All-Star point guard will practice on Friday. The Knicks are hopeful that Brunson can play over the weekend, with the team visiting Atlanta on Saturday and hosting Phoenix the following day.

The Knicks will end this week with a Saturday/Sunday back-to-back, visiting Atlanta before returning home to host the Suns. And the team’s point guard rotation may be back to normal. In addition to Jalen Brunson potentially returning from his ankle injury, McBride and Payne “should” be cleared any day, according to their head coach. McBride has missed New York’s last seven games and Payne the last four. How much McBride or Payne would impact fantasy basketball during the final days of Week 22 depends on Brunson’s availability. However, with the schedule being what it is, there isn’t anything to gain from holding onto Delon Wright or Tyler Kolek if you’ve been streaming them.

By design, the Cavaliers funneled the ball in Hart’s direction, resulting in him attempting 19 shots on Wednesday. He made eight, but it was more important for the Knicks that Hart attempted those shots instead of passing them up. Hart’s fantasy value has taken a hit recently, as shooting 64.7 percent from the foul line over the past two weeks hasn’t helped. However, he’s ranked just outside the top-50 in nine-cat during this stretch. Hart’s increased usage on Wednesday may have come at Mikal Bridges’ expense, as he only attempted six shots and finished with eight points, two rebounds, three assists and one steal. Bridges will need to be better, beginning with the Knicks’ Saturday/Sunday back-to-back.

In a losing effort, Anunoby extended his streak of games with at least 23 points to eight, extending the most productive stretch of his NBA career. A top-10 player in eight- and nine-cat formats over the past two weeks, the Knicks wing has been outstanding recently.

Towns returned to the Knicks’ lineup after sitting out Tuesday’s win over the 76ers, recording his 54th double-double. That’s 23 more than his tally in the prior two seasons combined, a testament to how being the lone big on the court has positively impacted KAT’s fantasy value. However, he did not record any defensive stats on Wednesday and was responsible for seven turnovers. The good news for Towns managers is that neither of New York’s final two opponents of Week 22, Atlanta and Phoenix, are as formidable in the frontcourt as the Cavaliers.

A starter in the Knicks’ last three games, Wright has reached double figures twice. He matched his season-high with 12 points on Tuesday while providing solid value in the rebound, assist and steals categories. Rostered in two percent of Yahoo! leagues, Wright hasn’t done enough to justify being rostered in most leagues. However, he’s done enough to earn Tom Thibodeau’s trust and hold off rookie Tyler Kolek, who continues to come off the bench. Kolek played 20 minutes against Philadelphia, finishing with seven points, four rebounds, seven assists, one steal, one block and one three-pointer. Wright and Kolek will handle the point guard duties as long as Miles McBride and Cameron Payne remain sidelined.

Robinson celebrated his 27th birthday Tuesday night with his best effort of the season, recording season highs in points and rebounds. Seven of the Knicks’ center’s 14 rebounds were of the offensive variety, and there was even an open-court Eurostep into a dunk during the first half. Add in the steal and blocked shots, and this was an excellent night for the nine percent of Yahoo! managers who have Robinson rostered. Filling in for Karl-Anthon Towns, he only played 21 minutes, which may open the door for Robinson to play in Cleveland on Wednesday. If so, this would be the first time he’s played both games of a back-to-back since returning from ankle surgery.

Shamet has played solid basketball recently, hitting multiple three-pointers in four straight games and reaching double figures in four of his last five. Tuesday’s performance was his best of the season, as the Knicks guard established season highs in points and three-pointers. Shamet did not provide much else that would benefit category league managers. Still, the minutes will be there as the Knicks continue without Jalen Brunson, Miles McBride and Cameron Payne. Shamet is not a must-add player, but he may be worth a look for New York’s Saturday/Sunday back-to-back among managers needing three-pointers in their matchups.
