The Wizards are without Khris Middleton for Saturday’s game, as he suffered a knee injury during Thursday’s loss to the Pacers. He’ll be replaced in the lineup by Johnson, who is worth a roll of the dice in deep leagues. Middleton’s absence will also free up additional opportunities for Colby Jones off the bench.

Sunday’s game will be the fifth McBride has missed with a strained groin, while a sprained ankle keeps Payne out for a second straight. Delon Wright was the choice to start on Friday, playing 30 minutes in a win over the Bucks. Tyler Kolek played 18 minutes off the bench, but staying in a reserve role limits the rookie’s ceiling.

To the surprise of many fantasy managers, Knicks coach Tom Thibodeau decided to start Wright on Friday, not rookie Tyler Kolek. The decision proved correct, as the veteran guard shot the ball well and recorded a solid stat line in his 30 minutes. As for Kolek, he logged 17 minutes off the bench and finished with five points, five rebounds, one three-pointer and no turnovers. Whether or not Wright will be worth the risk for Sunday’s game against Portland depends on the availability of Cameron Payne (ankle) and Miles McBride (three), who were unavailable on Friday.

Hart finished Friday’s victory two rebounds shy of his 10th triple-double of the season, recording another full stat line. The Knicks wing has been one of the most valuable players in fantasy basketball, as he continues to exceed his Yahoo! ADP (116) by a significant margin. Where Hart goes in drafts next fall will be interesting. While he probably shouldn’t be selected with a top-50 pick in most fantasy leagues, Hart has proven capable of reaching that ceiling, if not raising it outright.

Towns had a frustrating night in Milwaukee, as the Bucks’ physicality sometimes appeared to fluster him. The good news for fantasy managers is that he recorded another double-double and two steals, but the field-goal percentage was below KAT’s standard. With Jalen Brunson (ankle) sidelined, opposing teams have made a greater effort to attack Towns on both ends of the floor. His fantasy value hasn’t slipped much, but there are times when he isn’t as effective as he can be.

Bridges has scored at least 21 points in three of his last four outings, providing increased offensive production as the Knicks press on without Jalen Brunson. Over the past two weeks, Mikal has offered fourth-round value in nine-cat formats. In addition to the scoring, fantasy managers should watch his assist production. Over his past two games, Bridges has 14 assists and three turnovers. Given how shorthanded the Knicks are at the point guard position, he’s one of the wings who has taken on more playmaking responsibilities in recent games.

Anunoby has been on a roll recently, averaging 23.5 points per game over the past two weeks. The increased scoring production is why he’s offered first-round value in nine-cat formats with Jalen Brunson (ankle) out of the Knicks’ lineup. Also, he’s recorded at least one steal in 11 straight games, averaging 2.3 per outing. Anunoby and the Knicks end their Week 21 schedule with a home game against Portland on Sunday.

The Knicks are already without Jalen Brunson, and Miles McBride and Cameron Payne are not available for Friday’s game, either. After not being in the rotation, Wright moves into the starting lineup, while Tyler Kolek will come off the bench. If the minutes are distributed evenly, Kolek offers a higher ceiling, especially for managers needing assists.

George sustained his ankle injury in Monday’s matchup with Toronto, and it will cost him a second straight game.

Poole played just 25 minutes again Thursday. It was his sixth-straight game with less than 30 minutes and fourth in that span with 25 minutes or less. While the Wizards clearly aren’t pushing Poole for heavy minutes at this point in the season, they at least had good reason for his usage on Thursday as they were party to a massive blowout. Poole had a pretty good game considering the Wizards lost by 53 points. Unfortunately for Poole, it doesn’t seem like his minutes will trend back up in what’s left of the season.

Sarr has scored at least 22 points with at least seven rebounds, at least one block and at least one steal in each of his last two games. While the Wizards are looking towards the future, Sarr is making a statement that he’s going to be a big part of it. The 19-year-old center has been just outside the top-100 in fantasy value since the All-Star break as his play has picked of late.

Washington is already actively trying to improve their lottery odds, so there is no reason for Middleton to play through injuries. Any knee pain simply isn’t worth the long-term effects. Colby Jones started the second half in place of Middleton, but AJ Johnson should also take on a larger role to finish the game.

Friday’s game will be the fourth McBride has missed with a strained groin. As for Payne, he sprained his right ankle during Wednesday’s loss to the Clippers, leaving the Knicks down three point guards, as starter Jalen Brunson (ankle) is also out. That leaves Tyler Kolek and Delon Wright to handle the point guard responsibilities, with the former having tallied 24 assists and one turnover in his last three games. Kolek does not provide much value as a scorer, but managers needing assists should strongly consider streaming him.

Thursday’s game will be the second that Smart and George have missed with their respective injuries, and the latter’s absence is more impactful on fantasy basketball. Justin Champagnie filled in for George in Wednesday’s win over the 76ers and should remain in the starting lineup, making him a streamable player in deep leagues. As for Smart, his continued absence means more playing time for AJ Johnson, who will likely come off the bench with Khris Middleton returning from a one-game absence.

Middleton has been removed from the injury report after sitting out Wednesday’s win over the 76ers for injury management reasons. AJ Johnson will likely move to the bench, but the rookie should not fall out of the rotation entirely. Middleton has not exceeded 27 minutes in any appearances with the Wizards since the team acquired him from the Bucks at the February trade deadline.

Injuries to Jalen Brunson and Miles McBride have thrust Kolek into the rotation. With Cameron Payne not returning after halftime due to a sprained ankle, the rookie started the third quarter against the Clippers. While Kolek shot 0-of-3 from the field and 0-of-2 from the foul line, he dished out seven assists and committed just one turnover. Since entering the rotation, Kolek has accounted for 24 assists and one turnover. If Payne misses time, starting with Friday’s game in Milwaukee, the Knicks will have to rely more on Kolek and Delon Wright (three assists in 12 minutes) than they want to.

With the current state of the Knicks’ point guard position, there will be increased opportunities for the healthy starters to offer more value in the assist category. Bridges dished out nine helpers on Wednesday, the most in a game for him this season. The Knicks wing only committed two turnovers, but a 1-of-5 night from beyond the arc hurt his field goal percentage. Over the past two weeks, Bridges has offered top-50 value in eight-cat formats. His value will likely increase if Cameron Payne joins Jalen Brunson and Miles McBride on the sidelines after exiting Wednesday’s game with a sprained ankle.

Anunoby has flipped a switch offensively, scoring 23 points or more in four straight games. According to Basketball Monster, he’s ranked 13th in nine-cat value over the past two weeks. With Jalen Brunson and Miles McBride out due to injury, Anunoby is one of the Knicks who needs to shoulder more of the offensive workload as the team looks to lock down the three-seed in the East. Thus far, OG has been more productive, and those who have him rostered are reaping the rewards.

Towns has scored 31 points or more in three of his last six outings, with Wednesday’s tally being the highest for him since February 12 against the Hawks. The Knicks center has offered top-20 value in eight- and nine-cat formats over the past two weeks. If anyone was concerned about what the loss of Jalen Brunson would do to Towns’ production, they should be pleased with what they’ve seen from KAT. He and the Knicks will look to get back into the win column when they visit the Bucks on Friday.

While serving as the backup to a rookie lottery pick isn’t the best place for a two-way contract player to be on the depth chart, Vukcevic has taken advantage of his opportunities. Over the past two weeks, he has offered eighth-round value in eight-cat formats. Vukcevic is rostered in 12 percent of Yahoo! leagues, and deep-league managers needing a center should consider adding him. In addition to playing two more games during Week 21, Vukcevic and the Wizards are scheduled to play four during Week 22.

Sarr recorded a complete stat line on Wednesday, and the rookie continues progressing as his debut season winds down. Over the past two weeks, the 7-foot-1 big has offered top 50 value in eight-cat formats. And since the All-Star break, Sarr is ranked just outside the top 100. His name may not be mentioned in Rookie of the Year conversations, but the Wizards are likely encouraged by what they’ve seen from Sarr.

Champagnie stepped in for the injured Kyshawn George and acquitted himself well in Philadelphia. He recorded his third double-double of the season, and the 18 points are the most Champagnie has scored in a game since December 28. Rostered in 11 percent of Yahoo! leagues, he has offered top 100 value in nine-cat formats over the past two weeks. Champagnie will be worth a look in more leagues if George remains out with his sprained ankle.

Johnson made his third start of the season on Wednesday. The rookie offered solid value in the rebound and assist categories, but a 1-of-7 night from three dragged down the field-goal percentage. Johnson will have more opportunities before the season ends, either as a starter or a reserve. There isn’t much to gain from rostering the rookie guard, but keep an eye out for him the next time he’s allowed to start.

Add another point guard to the Knicks’ injury list. Already without Jalen Brunson and Miles McBride, Payne sprained his right ankle during the first quarter of Wednesday’s game.

Bridges had a productive night in the points and field-goal percentage categories, but the overall stat line lacked substance.

Nights like Tuesday, where he puts up many “ones” in key categories, have not been the norm for Bridges recently, which has been good for those who have him rostered.

Hart made history on two fronts Tuesday night. He combined with Karl-Anthony Towns to become the first Knicks teammates to record triple-doubles in the same game. Hart’s triple-double was his ninth of the season, surpassing Walt “Clyde” Frazier for the top spot in franchise history. Regardless of Hart’s feelings on shooting the basketball, he has been an elite fantasy option this season because of his ability to fill a stat sheet. The Knicks wing has provided third-round value in eight- and nine-cat formats for the season. Hart will look to build on Tuesday’s performance when the Knicks host the Clippers on Wednesday.

Neither Dallas nor a fourth-quarter bloody nose could stop Anunoby, whose 35 points were the most he’s scored in a game since dropping 40 on the Nuggets in late November.

Tuesday’s game is the first of two in as many nights for the Knicks, who host the Clippers on Wednesday. With that being the case, Robinson was unlikely to be available for both games.

The last few games for Carrington have been subpar, so it was good to see him get back on track in this one. He recorded the third point-rebound double-double of his career and set a new career-high for rebounds. He was also able to score in double figures after scoring a total of 15 points over his last four games. Carrington has shown plenty of upside during his first year in the NBA, and he won’t turn 20 until after this upcoming Summer League. He certainly has a bright future in Washington.

Just three days after scoring a career-high 14 points, Johnson broke that mark again and had arguably the best performance of his young career. It took a few weeks for Johnson to start seeing minutes for Washington, but he has now played at least 15 minutes in seven games. He has had at least three assists in all of those. That isn’t an impressive number, but for a 20-year-old that is still learning how to play with other young players on a bad team, it’s a great sign for the future.

Not only did Towns record his second double-double in as many games, but it was also his first with at least 30 points since February 20. While Jalen Brunson’s absence makes KAT’s offensive ability even more critical to the Knicks, the lack of an elite point guard makes the “sledding” a bit more challenging on that end of the floor.

Already without Jalen Brunson, the Knicks played Saturday’s game without Miles McBride, who was sidelined by a groin injury. Payne can be erratic, but his energy paid dividends on Saturday. The veteran guard scored 10 points in the first quarter, giving a team with a habit of slow starts a welcome boost. Payne’s streaming value for the Knicks’ four-game Week 21 depends on McBride’s availability. Also seeing time on Saturday was Tyler Kolek, who tallied four points, one rebound, eight assists and three steals in 18 minutes.
