The big news is that Hart is back from a high right ankle sprain. In addition to starting, he will not be restricted in any way. As a result, Miles McBride heads to the bench, which lowers his fantasy ceiling.

Yabusele was initially listed as questionable with a quad injury. The 30-year-old power forward missed Friday’s game against the Suns, though his absence doesn’t impact the Knicks rotation or fantasy basketball significantly. With Josh Hart (ankle) returning, Yabusele might not have played even if he were available.

Hart was initially listed as questionable with a high right ankle sprain. The 30-year-old shooting guard missed the last eight games with the injury. Hart could be on a minutes limit in his first game back Sunday and Miles McBride could remain in the starting lineup ahead of him.

According to the NBA, Schröder confronted and attempted to strike another player 40 minutes after the Kings’ 125-101 loss to the Lakers in a Crypto.com Arena hallway. ESPN has reported that the player was Lakers guard Luka Dončić. His suspension will begin with Sunday’s game against the Rockets, and Schröder will be eligible to return on January 16 against the Wizards.

Clared to resume basketball activities a few days after Christmas, Shamet has recently done some controlled contact work, according to Knicks head coach Mike Brown. He still doesn’t have a clearly defined return timeline, so the Knicks will continue without one of their reserve wings for the time being.

Yabusele did not play in Friday’s loss to the Suns, and his absence did not significantly affect the Knicks’ rotation or fantasy basketball. And with Josh Hart (ankle) also questionable for Sunday, Yabusele could fall out of the rotation entirely.

After missing the last eight games with a high right ankle sprain, Hart could potentially return on Sunday. Miles McBride has performed well as his most recent replacement in the starting lineup. If Hart’s minutes are limited, the Knicks could leave McBride in the starting five for the time being.

Westbrook’s seven assists were the most in a game for him since December 27 and equal to his total in Sacramento’s prior two games. While he did shoot the ball well against the Warriors, the veteran point guard has made just 38.9 percent of his attempts over the past two weeks. That, combined with the decline in assists, has negatively affected Westbrook’s fantasy value. He’ll look to end Week 12 on a high note when the Kings host the Rockets on Sunday.

LaVine’s 6-of-8 night from inside the arc was countered by a 1-of-7 outside of it. Friday’s game was his second in the starting lineup since returning from a sprained ankle. With the Kings not showing signs of being able to climb out of the hole that they’ve dug themselves, this is a team to watch in the lead-up to the February trade deadline. LaVine’s name has been mentioned in rumors, and fantasy managers should hope for a change of scenery to ensure that he’s relevant during the playoff weeks.

For the first time since December 21 and 23, DeRozan has scored 20 points or more in back-to-back games. The decreased scoring output and percentages have the veteran wing outside the top-100 in nine-cat formats over the past two weeks. DeRozan’s season-long value remains high, but he’s one of the players on the Kings’ roster worth watching as the trade deadline approaches. The Kings end Week 12 at home against the Rockets on Sunday.

Towns recorded another double-double on Friday, but the impact was muted. Not only did he fail to record any defensive stats, but the 7-footer was responsible for a team-high five turnovers. The Knicks’ current run of five losses in six games has been discouraging for all involved, most especially Towns and those who have him rostered. Over the past two weeks, KAT has been a sixth-round player in nine-cat formats.

Once again, McBride got off to a good start, scoring 12 points in the first quarter of Friday’s game. Unfortunately, he didn’t offer much value offensively in the final three periods, but the final stat line was solid. Over the past two weeks, McBride has been close to a top-50 player in nine-cat formats. He’s worth rostering in deep leagues until Josh Hart returns from his high ankle sprain, and that could happen during the Knicks’ current four-game road trip.

Brunson and the Knicks have lost five of their last six, and he has just one 30-point game during this stretch. While his percentages against the Suns were good, the point guard finished with one less turnover (four) than assists (five). Over the past two weeks, he has offered fourth-round per-game value in eight-cat formats. While that doesn’t align with Brunson’s Yahoo! ADP, his drop has not been as sharp as a few other Knicks during this 1-5 stretch.

After starting Sacramento’s last 11 games, Precious Achiuwa has been moved to the bench. He’s been replaced in the lineup by Ellis, who should get the minutes needed to achieve fantasy relevance. Whether he starts or comes off the bench, there’s no need to roster Achiuwa in most fantasy leagues.

Hart has been out since suffering a sprained right ankle during a Christmas Day win over the Cavaliers. However, he has been cleared for contact and is “very close” to a return to action, according to his head coach. Miles McBride has been the most recent replacement in the starting lineup, and he may have solid deep-league value after Hart returns.

Yabusele was added to the injury report on Friday afternoon. Even with Josh Hart (ankle) still out, Yabusele’s absence will not significantly affect fantasy basketball or the Knicks’ rotation.

Yabusele is a late addition to the injury report, but his role has been too small this year for his absence to impact the rotation dramatically. Ariel Hukporti or Mohamed Diawara will likely take on a few extra minutes in his absence.

Hart has been out since spraining his right ankle on Christmas Day against the Cavaliers. Based on the most recent timeline provided by the team, with the wing set to be re-evaluated on Friday, there may be a chance he plays during New York’s four-game road trip. Miles McBride played well as the fifth starter in Wednesday’s win over the Clippers and should retain that role.

McBride has reached double figures in all six games he’s played since returning from a sprained ankle, and he replaced Mitchell Robinson in the starting lineup on Wednesday. Deuce got off to a good start, shooting 5-of-9 from the field in the first half with four made three-pointers. Over the past two weeks, he has offered top-100 per-game fantasy value. Rostered in 14 percent of Yahoo! leagues, McBride is worth streaming as long as the Knicks are without Josh Hart (ankle).

Anunoby only needed ten official shots from the field to record his first 20-point game in six outings. In fact, since the NBA Cup, he has only recorded two 20-point games. Anunoby doesn’t have to be a prolific scorer to offer excellent fantasy value, but being consistently involved in the offense does raise his ceiling. Despite shooting less than 43 percent from the field, Anunoby has been close to a top-50 player over the past two weeks.

To say that Towns wasn’t thrilled with only attempting four shots in Monday’s 31-point loss to the Pistons would be an understatement; some may even interpret his comments after Wednesday’s victory to be passive-aggressive. What matters is that KAT was more heavily involved in the offense, and while he didn’t produce a good field-goal percentage, the overall stat line was more in line with what he should do consistently. The Knicks hit the road for their next four, beginning on Friday in Phoenix.

After arguably his most inefficient game of the season in Monday’s blowout loss to the Pistons, Brunson bounced back nicely against the Clippers. In addition to shooting 75 percent from the field, the Knicks’ guard committed just two turnovers. All five starters attempted at least ten shots, and Brunson still led the way in scoring. Wednesday’s effort was the blueprint that the Knicks need to follow, even if that leads to a slight decrease in Brunson’s scoring output.

After starting Mitchell Robinson in Monday’s loss to the Pistons, the Knicks are shifting to a quicker option for Wednesday. McBride will start, shifting Bridges, Anunoby and Towns down a position. McBride has been productive recently and should be rostered in deep leagues, especially while Josh Hart is out.
