Much to the delight of those in attendance or watching on TV, Robinson and Philadelphia’s Andre Drummond put on a shooting clinic. The latter handled the three-point shooting, but the Knicks’ center shot 7-of-8 from the foul line. Robinson entered Friday shooting 6-of-27 (22.2 percent) from the charity stripe. Between the free throws and points, with this being Robinson’s first 20-point game since February 2020, the 7-footer had a massive night. That said, he’s rostered in only seven percent of Yahoo! leagues for a reason. Be sure to keep the expectations in check, fantasy managers.

For the second time in his last three appearances, Bridges failed to record a steal or blocked shot on Friday. The good news for those who have him rostered is that the Knicks wing was productive in the offensive categories. Also, this is the first time that Bridges has scored 20 points or more in at least two consecutive games since New York’s final three games of October. The Knicks end Week 9 with a home game against the Heat on Sunday.

Towns finished Friday’s defeat with his 18th double-double of the season and third in his last five appearances. He’s dealt with some lower-body injuries recently, which may factor into the relative lack of double-doubles. However, Towns has still been a top-20 player in nine-cat formats over the last two weeks. He’ll look to end Week 9 on a high note when the Knicks host the Heat on Sunday.

Brunson was one of three Knicks to score at least 21 points on Friday, but his percentages may have been evidence of some fatigue. Of course, Philadelphia’s VJ Edgecombe deserves credit for his work on defense, but Brunson’s shooting 1-of-7 from three was not the norm for him. And he’ll have one more game to navigate during Week 9, with the Knicks hosting the Heat on Sunday.

Hart and Towns are back after sitting out Thursday’s win over the Pacers, with Mohamed Diawara and Ariel Hukporti heading to the bench. Neither player is guaranteed to remain in the rotation, as Miles McBride and Landry Shamet are the lone Knicks regulars who are not available.

While McBride has been cleared to resume individual on-court work, he still has not taken the step of participating in group practices. His absence has led to more minutes for Tyler Kolek, who had the best game of his NBA career in Thursday’s win over the Pacers. That said, the Knicks would have to lose another rotation player before Kolek would be worth the risk as a streamer.

As expected, Towns will suit up after initially being listed as probable. He missed Thursday’s game and will return after just a one-game absence. That will push Ariel Hukporti back to the bench, and with Mitchell Robinson available as well, Hukporti will likely be out of the rotation entirely.

Isaac missed Thursday’s game against Denver and could miss a second straight game. His minutes would typically just go to Tristan da Silva, but he is questionable as well, so Jett Howard could see a huge bump in minutes after scoring 12 points in 29 minutes on Thursday.

Da Silva’s absence from Thursday’s loss to the Nuggets freed up minutes for Orlando’s other reserves, with Jase Richardson playing 19 minutes. While there could come a point when Richardson is worth a look, that time isn’t now. Even if da Silva remains out, leave Richardson on the waiver wire.

Suggs was held out of Thursday’s loss to the Nuggets, and it appears likely that he’ll miss a second game on Saturday. While Tyus Jones started against Denver, he played only 19 minutes, which complicates his streaming value. Jett Howard logged 29 minutes off the bench, but he’s even more challenging to trust than Jones.

Hart looks like he’ll be available after sitting out the Knicks’ first game of a back-to-back against the Pacers on Thursday. The 30-year-old shooting guard will be one of the Knicks’ main rotation players and might even find his way into the starting lineup.

Towns got the night of Thursday against the Pacers, the Knicks’ first game since winning the NBA Cup on Tuesday. The 30-year-old center appears poised to make his return Friday against the 76ers given his probable listing. Ariel Hukporti, who started and played 27 minutes Thursday, will head back to the bench.

Black has scored in double figures in five straight games, starting the last three as the Magic have been without Franz Wagner. With Jalen Suggs also out on Thursday, there was more room for Black to score, and he finished with his first 20-point game since December 1. While Black is ranked outside the top-150 in eight-cat formats over the past two weeks, the current state of Orlando’s rotation makes him worth the risk in some 12-team leagues. Don’t be afraid to add him ahead of Saturday’s game against the Jazz.

For the first time in over a month, Carter has reached double figures in three straight games. His performance against the Nuggets was his most productive of the season, with the Magic center recording his first 20-point game. Over the past two weeks, Carter has been close to a top-75 player in eight-cat formats. Unfortunately, his inconsistent offensive output makes ECJ challenging to trust outside of deep leagues.

Having last recorded a double-double on November 4, Banchero posted his first triple-double of the season on Thursday. He didn’t bring much to the table defensively, but the overall efficiency was good, with Banchero committing only two turnovers. Field-goal percentage has been the biggest issue for Banchero when it comes to fantasy value, making him a better option in points leagues than category leagues. That said, Saturday’s game against the Jazz is set up to be a good one for Banchero.

Kolek remained with the bench unit on Thursday, but the absences of Karl-Anthony Towns and Josh Hart meant that the Knicks were going to need more from their backup point guard. He answered the call, recording career-highs in points and assists while recording a complete stat line. Kolek can’t offer much value to fantasy managers when the Knicks are at full strength, but his emergence as a reliable option could prove huge for the team later this season. Jordan Clarkson also had a good night off the bench, adding 18 points (6-of-12 FGs, 1-of-1 FTs), three rebounds, one assist, one steal and five three-pointers.
NYK • Guard-Forward • #25

While Karl-Anthony Towns, Josh Hart and Mitchell Robinson were held out of Thursday’s game, there was no doubt that Bridges was going to extend his games played streak. He only had one blocked shot on Thursday, but the points, rebounds, assists and three-pointers were more than adequate. While he’s slipped just outside the top-20 in eight-cat per-game value, Bridges is still providing first-round value in nine-cat.

Brunson and the Knicks, who were without Karl-Anthony Towns, Josh Hart and Mitchell Robinson, were sluggish to begin Thursday’s game. Given Tuesday’s NBA Cup final, that was understandable. But the Knicks received key contributions from the bench, and in the end, it was Brunson who delivered the win. His three-pointer with 4.4 seconds remaining was the difference as New York extended its win streak to six games. Hopefully, Brunson will be available for Friday’s game against the 76ers, but league schedule-makers did not do their teams any favors by scheduling back-to-backs this soon out of the NBA Cup.

The Magic won’t have Jalen Suggs for Thursday’s game, and Tristan da Silva is also out. As a result, Jones moves into the starting lineup, and he’s worth streaming when allowed to start. Black will also boast a higher fantasy ceiling due to the absences.

The Magic are severely shorthanded in the backcourt against the Nuggets on Thursday. Orlando is already down Jalen Suggs and Franz Wanger and now da Silva has also been ruled out. Jett Howard and Jase Richardson should see addition minutes in this one, though neither are anything more than a desperation streaming option in deeper formats.

The Knicks are without Karl-Anthony Towns, Josh Hart and Mitchell Robinson for Thursday’s game, with the first two absences opening up two spots in the starting lineup.

Anunoby is good to go after initially being questionable for Thursday’s game.

After winning the NBA Cup on Tuesday, the Knicks are taking it easy against the Pacers.

Hart is one of three Knicks rotation players who will sit out the first game of the team’s back-to-back, with Karl-Anthony Towns and Mitchell Robinson being the others.

With Jalen Suggs joining Franz Wagner on the sidelines, there’s a chance that da Silva moves into the Magic starting lineup.

Towns carried the Knicks to the NBA Cup final with a 29-point performance against the Magic on Saturday. He wasn’t the top offensive option for the Knicks Tuesday, but still came through with a double-double.

Anunoby is averaging 16.2 points per game this season, but has now scored at least 21 points in three of his last four games. The 28-year-old small forward has made at least three three-pointers in three of his last four games as well. Anunoby’s shooting seems to be coming around since retiring from a hamstring injury. The Knicks have other offensive options, but Anunoby continues to show he’s reliable and has a higher offensive ceiling than he’s shown for most of the season so far.

Brunson didn’t light it up, but he got there on volume with 25 points on 27 field goal attempts. He uncharacteristically only attempted four free throws.

Brunson and the Knicks will be back in action on the road against the Pacers on Thursday.

After dropping 37 points on the Heat to reach Saturday’s NBA Cup semifinals in Las Vegas, Bane was held in check by the Knicks. The good news for fantasy managers is that his field-goal percentage didn’t take a severe hit, and Bane also provided solid value in the rebound and assist categories. Unfortunately for those who have him rostered, Bane and the Magic won’t play their first Week 9 game until Thursday, as part of a two-game week.

Suggs was rolling to begin Saturday’s NBA Cup semifinal, as he scored a career-high 25 first-half points. However, the Knicks did a better job of defending him in the third quarter, and injuries were also a factor. Already hobbling around the court, Suggs exited with 7:36 remaining in the fourth quarter with a sore left hip. Orlando won’t play its next game until Thursday, so Suggs will have some time to recover. If he has to miss games, Anthony Black (12/8/4/1/2 with one three-pointer) will have added fantasy value, and there would be more opportunities for rookie Jase Richardson (9/1/2 with two three-pointers).

While Banchero still has some work to do from a conditioning standpoint, Saturday’s production was the best for him since returning from a strained groin. He’s scored at least 20 points in 10 of the 16 games he’s played this season, but Banchero is ranked just outside the top-150 in eight-cat formats over the past week. With Franz Wagner (ankle) out for a few more weeks, the Magic will need Banchero’s production even more. Orlando’s Week 9 schedule isn’t suitable for fantasy basketball, as they play two games, but that may help Banchero as he works to get his groove back.

Anunoby recorded his sixth 20-point game of the season on Saturday, with the 24 being the most he’s scored since November 5 and two shy of his season-high.

Towns was outstanding in Saturday’s NBA Cup semifinal, making over 80 percent of his attempts from the field. While he ranks among the best perimeter-shooting big men in league history, not settling for those shots is crucial for KAT. That wasn’t an issue on Saturday, with Towns attacking the Orlando defense consistently.

The Knicks and Magic have met four times this season, and Brunson has scored at least 30 points in all four.

After a few rough outings, Bane came up big to help the Magic advance to the NBA Cup semifinals in Las Vegas. Bane joked after the game that he just lost $35,000 (courtesy of him throwing a ball at OG Anunoby), and that he’s “gotta go get it back somehow.” Orlando just lost Franz Wagner (ankle) to what is expected to be a multi-week absence. Bane figured things out after a slow start to the season when Paolo Banchero missed time, and now Bane will get the opportunity to gel with Banchero with Wagner sidelined. While Bane has shown on multiple occasions that he can still be as productive as he was in Memphis, it hasn’t happened consistently when this team is healthy. For now, he’ll look to help the Magic win the NBA Cup by taking on more responsibility on offense, which is a great thing for fantasy managers.

He was an inefficient 4-of-11 from the field, and he’s 7-of-19 for 25 total points across his last two outings.

Black shot an inefficient 6-of-16 from the floor and 1-of-7 from beyond the arc. He also committed four turnovers, but fantasy managers playing in eight-cat leagues or those not worried about field-goal percentage were surely pleased with this performance. With Franz Wagner (leg) potentially set to miss time this week, Black could see an uptick in minutes. Jalen Suggs (leg) went to the locker room in the fourth quarter, and though he was able to return, he may be banged up, which could result in even more playing time for Black.
