Green has not appeared in a game since November 9, but that could change very soon. Saturday’s 5-on-5 session was the guard’s third since beginning the ramp-up process two weeks ago. Given the time that Green has missed, his playing time will likely be limited in his first few games back.

Booekr is back in the fold after a one-game absence. Grayson Allen was excellent in his absence, scoring 33 points in Thursday’s loss to the Pistons. Allen will likely head to the bench, but he’ll still play plenty as part of the second unit.

The Knicks will be down two starters for Saturday’s game, as Hart joins Jalen Brunson (ankle) on the sidelines. Mitchell Robinson could move into the starting lineup as part of a two-big lineup, but his minutes will remain limited. Also, more minutes will be available for Jordan Clarkson and Landry Shamet.

Hart wasn’t on the initial injury report, but he is now dealing with soreness in the same ankle that caused him to miss eight games in late December and early January. Mitchell Robinson could start in his place in a two-big lineup, though there should be extra minutes available for Jordan Clarkson and Landry Shamet regardless.

Booker missed Thursday’s game against the Pistons and is in danger of missing another. Grayson Allen filled that spot and went for 33 points and seven triples. He should be in for another big night if Booker remains out, though he’ll still retain value in a reserve role.

Thursday’s loss to the Warriors was the Knicks’ second game in as many nights, so Robinson did not play. His return to the rotation will give the team better cover in the chance that Karl-Anthony Towns gets into early foul trouble. Also, the Knicks had some success with the two-big lineup in their January 9 loss to the Suns in Phoenix.

Brunson did not play in Thursday’s loss to the Warriors after spraining his right ankle the night prior in Sacramento. Miles McBride scored 25 points and dished out six assists as the starting point guard, and he would be worth rostering if Brunson has to miss another game. For those who already have Deuce, he may be worth holding onto if the Knicks’ captain returns, given the team’s need for consistent bench production.

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.

While Bridges’ overall stat line was a bit lean, the offensive output was solid in the final game of the Knicks’ road trip. Before Thursday, he had not scored at least 20 points in a game since December 21. While Bridges isn’t expected to be a prolific scorer, he’s capable of offering more production than he’s managed over the past three weeks. And if Jalen Brunson (ankle) misses more time, the Knicks will need more scoring from Bridges.

With Jalen Brunson (ankle) unavailable, McBride moved into the starting point guard role on Thursday. And he performed well, matching his season-highs in points and assists. Rostered in 14 percent of Yahoo! leagues, McBride has been a top-100 player over the past two weeks. 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.

With Devin Booker (ankle) out, the Suns needed Brooks to avoid getting into early foul trouble. He failed to do so, and that would factor into him fouling out with 2:13 remaining in the fourth quarter. Before his disqualification, the Suns’ wing struggled to get much going offensively, and his production was lacking beyond points and three-pointers. Brooks will look to bounce back on Saturday against the Knicks.

The Suns don’t look to Goodwin for much scoring, but his defensive abilities make him a player who has to be in the rotation. The 12 rebounds were three shy of his season-high, and Goodwin matched his high in steals. He still isn’t a player who should be rostered in most leagues, but Goodwin is averaging 24.0 minutes per game over the past month.

Gillespie had an excellent night in Detroit, recording his second double-double of the season. The 18 points were the most he’s scored in a game since December 29, when he scored 25 in a win over the Wizards. Devin Booker (ankle) was out on Thursday, which freed up a few more scoring opportunities for Gillespie. Between Booker and Jalen Green (hamstring), there may come a point when fantasy managers look to move on from Gillespie. But as long as they’re out, he’s worth holding onto.

With no Devin Booker (ankle) in the fold, there were shots to go around for everyone within the Suns’ rotation. Allen may have taken that to heart, as he fired up 25 shots overall, with 20 coming from beyond the arc. He surpassed the 30-point mark for the second time this season and for the first time since dropping 42 in a November 10 win over the Pelicans. If Booker remains out for Saturday’s game against the Knicks, Allen will have added fantasy value.

The Knicks don’t have Jalen Brunson, as he sprained his right ankle during Wednesday’s loss to the Kings. He’ll be replaced in the lineup by McBride, who now offers a higher fantasy ceiling than he does as the sixth man. Tyler Kolek’s playing time should receive a boost, but Deuce is the streamer to target.

Booker hurt his ankle in the first half against the Heat on Tuesday, but was able to return to the game and play 40 minutes. However, it appears that his ankle injury either tightened up or swelled up on him after the game. As of now, we shouldn’t expect this to sideline Booker for a long period of time. The Suns will hope that Dillon Brooks (illness) can play on Thursday, but Grayson Allen and Jordan Goodwin should see more minutes tonight.

Anunoby missed all six of his three-point attempts, contributing to an 8-of-41 night for the Knicks as a team. That ends a run of three consecutive games with at least two three-pointers. Even with Wednesday’s poor showing, Anunoby has shot 49.5 percent from the field over the past two weeks.

Towns and the Knicks had a night to forget in Sacramento. He didn’t shoot the ball well, with the one positive for fantasy managers being his steals. Towns’ five steals were a career-high, nearly double his tally in New York’s first six games of 2026. However, shooting just 41.2 percent from the field, KAT has been an eighth-round player in eight-cat formats over the past two weeks.

Bridges and the Knicks had a rough night shooting the basketball, as they were 8-of-41 from three and made just 39 percent of their attempts overall.

He’ll look to bounce back on Thursday against the Warriors.

Allen went off for 25 points and six three-pointers in the loss to the Heat on Tuesday. It was his first game with at least 20 points since November 12 against the Magic, over two months ago. Allen was instant offense off the bench with 25 points in 27 minutes while Royce O’Neale started and had eight points in 32 minutes. If Allen shows some more consistency with his scoring, it’s possible the Suns move him back into the starting lineup in short order.

The Suns are off until Thursday when they take on the Pistons on the road.

With the Knicks going 3-5 in the eight games he missed with a high ankle sprain, Hart’s return to action was certainly anticipated. And he got off to an excellent start, scoring eight points in his first stint on the floor.

One reason to consider streaming O’Neale while the Suns are without Jalen Green is the three-point production, and he came through on Friday. The veteran forward hit four of his six attempts against the Knicks while also offering solid value in the rebound category. The lingering questions are: how much longer will Green, who began his ramp-up process, be sidelined by his hamstring injury? And, will the Suns continue to bring Grayson Allen (10/3/1/1 in 26 minutes) off the bench? The answers will have a direct impact on O’Neale’s fantasy value.

Brooks didn’t record any defensive statistics on Friday, but he had another good night on the offensive end of the floor. He’s scored at least 20 points in 18 games this season, six more than his tally with the Rockets in 2024-25. Brooks’ overall game isn’t exactly fantasy-friendly, but he’s hovering just outside the top-100 in eight-cat formats this season. The move to Phoenix has done wonders for the wing, who’s enjoying a level of offensive freedom that he didn’t have in either Memphis or Houston.

Friday’s performance was rather routine for Booker, who has scored at least 30 points in three of his last six outings. Add in the assists and three-pointers, and category-league managers should be relatively pleased with the output. That said, many hoped that Booker would be able to offer first-round fantasy value this season, and it hasn’t happened. The defensive production is limited, and the emergence of Dillon Brooks (scoring) and Collin Gillespie (assists) has also factored into Booker’s reduced fantasy value. That said, there’s no need to panic unless you reached early to draft him.
