With no Karl-Anthony Towns (elbow), Robinson made his return to action as a starter after sitting out Wednesday’s win over the Grizzlies. He did most of his damage before halftime, finishing the first half with 15 points and 10 rebounds. Robinson was also responsible for three defensive contributions in his 23 minutes. Josh Hart also reached double figures in rebounds, grabbing 11 to go along with seven points and four assists. The Knicks play four games in Week 24 for managers whose leagues will remain active.

For the second consecutive game, Anunoby and the Knicks took advantage of a lottery-bound opponent. He shot 7-of-10 from beyond the arc against the Bulls, matching his career-high for made threes in a game. Add in the rebounds, points and percentages, and this was an excellent end to Week 23 for those rostering Anunoby. The lone negative is that the Knicks won’t play again until Monday, ending OG’s fantasy season in Yahoo! default leagues.

Back in action after sitting out Wednesday’s win over the Grizzlies, Brunson played 30 minutes on Friday. With the Knicks scoring 20 of the game’s first 21 points, there was little need for the Knicks to push their point guard too far. Brunson recorded his second points/assists double-double in four appearances while committing just two turnovers. The Knicks are done for Week 23, but they’ll play four games in Week 24 for those competing in fantasy leagues that will still be active.

Towns is out after recording his first triple-double of the season in Wednesday’s win over the Grizzlies. Mitchell Robinson, who did not play on Wednesday, will move into the starting lineup and is worth streaming in some 12-team leagues. Jalen Brunson, Mikal Bridges, Josh Hart and OG Anunoby complete the starting five.

Back in the Thunder lineup after sitting out Monday’s win over the Pistons, Williams played 23 minutes in Thursday’s blowout. The nature of the game helped keep the minutes down for J-Dub and Isaiah Hartenstein (7/6/2/2/2), with the latter playing 20 minutes. With the Thunder hosting the Jazz on Sunday, that’s another game in which the Thunder may get additional rest.

Dort came out scalding hot, shooting 5-of-5 from the field in the first quarter and producing 14 points and four three-pointers. He didn’t score again, but the Thunder are more concerned about the back injury he suffered in the third quarter. Dort’s layup attempt was blocked by Lakers’ forward Jake LaRavia, with the momentum sending the Thunder wing crashing to the court. Dort walked back to the locker room during a timeout moments later and did not return. The game was a blowout, so it made no sense for him to return regardless of the injury’s severity. Still, this is something to watch with the playoffs on the horizon.

As a team, the Thunder knocked down 19 three-pointers in their demolition of the Lakers, and Joe led the way with six. He didn’t provide much outside of the points and three-pointers, but that’s the expectation for those rostering the Thunder reserve. With Luguentz Dort (back) leaving Thursday’s game during the third quarter, Joe is one of the players whose roles could expand for Sunday’s matchup with the Jazz. And that game also has blowout potential with the Jazz focused on player development and their draft lottery odds.

Gilgeous-Alexander extended his streak of games with at least 20 points to 137 on Thursday, and he did not need to play during the fourth quarter to do so. Oklahoma City led by 30 at halftime and by 45 at the end of the third, giving the reigning MVP additional rest in the final frame. With the Thunder hosting the Jazz on Sunday, fantasy managers hoping for an even bigger night from Gilgeous-Alexander should be fine.

Back in the Knicks’ rotation after a five-game absence, Shamet played 31 minutes without incident on Wednesday. And he had a good night shooting the basketball, making three of five attempts from beyond the arc. With Miles McBride, who did not play on Wednesday, avoiding an injury scare during Sunday’s loss to the Thunder, getting Shamet back will strengthen New York’s perimeter depth ahead of the postseason.

After totaling 35 points in the first three games of the Knicks’ four-game road trip, Anunoby put up 25 in the finale on Wednesday. Add in the rebounds and other categories, and the Knicks’ wing gave fantasy managers an excellent stat line to work with. New York ends its Week 23 with a game against the Bulls on Friday, which could be another big game for Anunoby.

For the first time in a month, Bridges has scored at least 20 points in a game. No Jalen Brunson in the lineup opened things up for the other Knicks, especially those who take a back seat offensively on most nights. In addition to shooting 66.7 percent from the field, Bridges’ three free throws were the most he’s attempted in a game since March 13. In fact, since that win over the Pacers, he totaled four free-throw attempts in the nine games that followed. Regardless of who’s on the court for the Knicks, they need Bridges to be more aggressive on offense.

With Jalen Brunson sitting out Wednesday’s game, more of the Knicks’ offense ran through Towns in Memphis. And he took advantage of the opportunity, recording his first triple-double of the season. While Towns was responsible for seven turnovers, the percentages were excellent. The Knicks end Week 23 with a game against the Bulls on Friday. Given Chicago’s lack of interior depth, fantasy managers will hope for another big night from Towns, minus the turnovers.

Towns’ eight rebounds were just the second time in his last eight games that he’s had less than 10 rebounds. The 30-year-old center bounced back with 22 points after scoring 15 and 13 points in his two previous games. Towns has provided third-round per game value over the last two weeks.

Holmgren fouled out of Monday’s contest, but not before coming within arm’s reach of a double-double.

Holmgren has had better games throughout the season, but Monday’s performance was solid from a fantasy standpoint. His final line could have looked better if not for the foul issues that cut his night short.

Sunday’s game was the first for McBride since January 27, as he was returning from sports hernia surgery. During a scramble for a loose ball, the Knicks guard reached for his inner thigh area. While he was able to walk back to the bench without assistance, McBride did so gingerly. He did not return to the bench after heading to the locker room, and the severity of McBride’s injury is unknown. If he heads back to the sidelines, those minutes are likely to go to Jordan Clarkson, as Mohamed Diawara’s playing time has decreased recently.
