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.

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.

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. While he would remain in the game then, the veteran point guard could not play after halftime. Tyler Kolek started the second half and may have to fill in as the starter if Payne is unavailable for Friday’s game against the Bucks.

Bridges had a productive night in the points and field-goal percentage categories, but the overall stat line lacked substance. However, over the past two weeks, he has been a fourth-round player in eight-cat formats, averaging 22.6 points, 3.9 rebounds, 4.0 assists, 1.1 steals, 0.4 blocks and 2.0 three-pointers per game. 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. Over the past two weeks, the Knicks wing has been a top-20 player in nine-cat formats, pushing his season-long value into the top 75. Anunoby has scored at least 23 points in three straight and six of his last eight appearances while averaging 2.0 steals and 1.1 blocks during this run.

Towns combined with Josh Hart to make some history on Tuesday, as they became the first Knicks teammates to record triple-doubles in the same game. Over the past two weeks, KAT has provided second-round value in eight- and nine-cat formats. While that may not be on par with his season-long value, Towns isn’t far off, which is notable since the Knicks have been without starting point guard Jalen Brunson (ankle). The Knicks play three more games during Week 21, starting with the Clippers on Wednesday.

While Castle’s fantasy value has not been great, the rookie has averaged 17.3 points per game since the All-Star break. If there has been a silver lining in the cloud that was the Spurs losing Victor Wembanyama and De’Aaron Fox, there’s been more room for Castle to operate. He’s reached double figures in seven straight games and provided 10th-round value in eight-cat formats over the past two weeks. The Spurs will play three games during the final four days of Week 21, starting with the Cavaliers on Thursday.

While it wasn’t enough to get the Spurs another victory, Vassell remains on an offensive tear. He’s scored 20 points or more in three straight and five of his last seven appearances, providing second-round value in nine-cat formats over the past two weeks. While the season-ending injuries for Victor Wembanyama and De’Aaron Fox weren’t good, the improved play of Vassell and Stephon Castle has been a positive for the Spurs during the post-break portion of the schedule.

Castle will shake off a questionable tag and take the court against Detroit, where he’ll look to build on a string of stellar performances. Over his last six games as a starter, the rookie has averaged 20 points, 4.2 rebounds and 4.8 dimes across 29.2 minutes.

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. His absence on Tuesday means more rotation minutes for Precious Achiuwa, who is not worth the risk in most fantasy leagues when starter Karl-Anthony Towns is available.

It’s a back-to-back, so Robinson will likely miss one of the games. Dallas, who will be playing the second night of a back-to-back, seems like a great matchup for Robinson to sit out to ensure he is ready to play the Clippers on Wednesday. We’ll see what Tom Thibodeau decides, but Precious Achiuwa should take on the backup center minutes when Robinson is out.

McBride will miss a second consecutive game with a left groin strain/contusion. Cameron Payne will remain the starting point guard, which makes him worthy of a look in deep leagues. Also, Tyler Kolek will play rotation minutes, and he tallied eight assists without committing a turnover during Saturday’s win over the Wizards.

Castle has only missed one game during his rookie season, but there is a chance that he misses a second one against Detroit. He has been starting for San Antonio, so if he sits, Julian Champagnie will likely make a return to the starting lineup. Jeremy Sochan and Keldon Johnson would also likely be in line for extra minutes and shots.

Castle entered Sunday’s game having scored at least 17 points in five straight. That run ended in Toronto, and the overall stat line was meager compared to some of the rookie’s recent performances. While Castle has averaged 17.8 points per game over the past two weeks, the limited production in other categories has limited his fantasy ceiling. However, he’ll have every opportunity to play starters’ minutes for the rest of the season, making Castle worth the risk in most leagues.

Champagnie snapped out of a three-game slump on Sunday, scoring 20 points after tallying 17 on 5-of-18 shooting in the three games prior. He’s ranked well outside the top 150 in eight- and nine-cat formats over the past two weeks, and that’s unlikely to change anytime soon. While the rotation minutes will be there for Champagnie, there’s no need to roster him in most leagues.

Vassell has been on a tear compared to his production for most of this season. Over the past month, the Spurs wing has provided top-40 value in eight-cat formats and top-25 in nine-cat. Vassell has cleaned up the percentages, shooting 46.3 percent from the field and 87.5 percent from the foul line, and the scoring output has also improved. If the Spurs allow Vassell to play in all four Week 21 games, he has the potential to be a difference-maker for many fantasy managers.

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. Over the past two weeks, Towns has provided top-20 value in eight-cat formats. While his value has taken a hit, there hasn’t been much to worry about.

Anunoby has scored 23 points or more in five of his last seven outings, but Saturday’s performance was far more efficient. However, while he has only shot 41.3 percent from the field over the past two weeks, Anunoby’s fantasy value has been excellent. OG has provided third-round value in eight-cat formats, averaging 2.4 steals and 1.0 blocks. The Knicks begin their four-game Week 21 at home on Tuesday when the Mavericks roll into town.

After a disappointing two-game road swing in which he shot 10-of-24 from the field in losses to the Spurs and Hornets, Bridges looked rejuvenated on Saturday. He went off during the second quarter, scoring 20 points on 8-of-10 shooting. Fantasy managers will undoubtedly take the complete stat line from Bridges, who has provided top-75 value in eight-cat formats over the past month. New York plays four games during Week 21, starting with the Mavericks on Tuesday.

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. The rookie, who played first-half minutes for the first time since January, won’t be worth streaming if McBride is available for the start of Week 21.

McBride has been downgraded from questionable to out for Saturday’s game, leaving the Knicks without their top two point guards. Cameron Payne will move into the starting lineup, raising his fantasy ceiling, but the veteran guard has been erratic most nights. Tyler Kolek should move into the rotation, but it’s difficult to trust Tom Thibodeau to give the rookie the playing time needed to impact fantasy basketball.

Brunson injured his ankle on March 6, and multiple outlets reported that he’ll be out until late March at the earliest. He’s progressed to doing some on-court work, and the Knicks will provide another update in one week. Miles McBride will remain the starting point guard until Brunson returns. While this raises McBride’s fantasy ceiling, his production has been lackluster, and the Knicks have struggled as a team.

The managers that held onto Vassell through his slump are reaping the rewards. In the month of March, Vassell has averaged 18.8 points, 5.4 rebounds, 3.6 assists, 1.8 steals, 1.1 blocks and three three-pointers while shooting 46.4 percent from the floor and only turning the ball over once per game. That has him ranked in the top ten in nine-cat value this month. Wednesday’s win over the Knicks was a quieter performance for him, but he was able to bounce back well on Friday.

Though he is known for being a poor option in category formats, Johnson was able to make an impact across the board on Friday. Over San Antonio’s last four games, Johnson has averaged two steals and one block per game. His season averages are 0.7 steals and 0.3 blocks, so managers shouldn’t expect the defensive production to continue. However, it has been a nice boost for the managers that have held onto him. He should continue to be a strong option for the rest of the season, though his game is typically catered for points leagues.

Sochan has started the last two games for San Antonio as part of a smaller starting lineup, and that has led to two wins for the Spurs. Sochan has scored in double figure in six consecutive games, but his 23 points on Friday were a new season-high for him. Though the Spurs’ playoff hops went down the drain when Victor Wembanyama was ruled out for the rest of the season, they have won four of their last six games and sit just three games out of the postseason picture. Sochan should continue to produce at a high level as long as he is starting.

Castle shattered his previous career-high of eight assists and was also able to record the first point-assist double-double of his career. Castle has scored at least 15 points in five consecutive games since returning to the starting unit and has at least 20 points in three of those. He sacrificed a few buckets on Friday to take on the primary playmaking role. Castle continues to strengthen his case for Rookie of the Year and will continue to be a strong fantasy option for years to come.

New York has been playing without Jalen Brunson, but Towns has had no issue stepping up and filling the void on offense. This was his seventh-straight game with at least 20 points, though they’ve only won three of those games. Towns will continue to pour in the points, but the Knicks have started to see their lead in the standings shrink. They currently sit just three games ahead of Indiana for the No. 3 seed in the East. Losing to Charlotte isn’t ideal, but they’ll have a chance to get back on track against Washington on Saturday.

After two straight subpar offensive performances, Anunoby got back over the 20-point threshold on Thursday, even if the shooting efficiency still wasn’t there. This was his seventh time scoring at least 20 points in March, and he was still able to contribute his typical defensive production. The poor field-goal percentage has been an issue lately; he has shot below 50 percent from the floor in eight consecutive games and below 40 percent in five of those. Still, he has returned third-round value during that stretch in nine-cat leagues.

McBride has played well as the starting point guard for the Knicks in place of Jalen Brunson, who is still sidelined with an ankle injury. However, Thursday wasn’t his best performance. McBride had at least 10 points and two three-pointers in five consecutive games prior to this game against Charlotte. Head coach Tom Thibodeau said earlier in the day that they’re hoping to have Brunson play a few games before the playoffs, but based on that, Brunson may not return until April. McBride’s role should be safe for a little while longer, and he’ll have an opportunity to bounce back against the Wizards on Saturday.

San Antonio decided to go small on Wednesday, with Sochan replacing Bismack Biyombo (four points and four rebounds in 10 minutes) in the starting lineup. While it did not work to slow Karl-Anthony Towns, who scored 31 points, the Spurs neutralized the other Knicks starters. Sochan has reached double figures in his last five outings, but he’s ranked well outside the top 200 in eight- and nine-cat formats over the past two weeks. However, he’ll have a higher ceiling if interim coach Mitch Johnson sticks with Sochan at the five.

Castle has scored 22 points or more in three of his last four outings, continuing to strengthen his case for Rookie of the Year. Over the past two weeks, the Spurs guard has averaged 19.4 points per game.

However, the current situation in San Antonio makes him a player who must be rostered in standard leagues for the stretch run.

Born in New York City and an alumnus of Seton Hall, Mamukelashvili had the best night of his NBA career on Wednesday. According to Justin Russo, he became the first player in NBA history to record at least 34 points and five rebounds in fewer than 20 minutes. While Mamukelashvili has rarely been a fantasy asset, he’s the kind of player who can emerge during the “silly season.” And with the Spurs playing two lottery-bound teams (Philadelphia and Toronto) to end Week 20, it would be unsurprising if Mamu could provide consistent value.

Paul continues to provide valuable leadership for the Spurs, and he finished Monday’s defeat with eight assists. However, the playing time has decreased. Paul has not surpassed 25 minutes in any of his last six appearances and hasn’t played 30 or more since February 25. With Victor Wembanyama and De’Aaron Fox out for the rest of the season and Paul’s minutes decreasing, it’s fair to wonder if he’ll be shut down at some point. However, CP3 is still playing and can provide value in the rebound and assist categories.

Since the All-Star break, Vassell has been a top-50 player in nine-cat while sitting just outside that threshold in eight-cat formats. Monday’s performance was good for the Spurs guard, who scored at least 17 points in three straight and four of his last five outings. As long as Vassell logs starters’ minutes, he’ll remain a valuable player to have rostered. Especially with De’Aaron Fox done for the rest of the season.

Like teammate Devin Vassell, Castle did not shoot the ball well on Saturday. The good news for those who have him rostered is that the rookie dished out seven assists, his highest tally since March 1.

Under normal circumstances, there would be no reason for 54 percent of Yahoo! league managers to roster the rookie.

Fantasy managers that dropped Castle after the Spurs acquired De’Aaron Fox must be kicking themselves now. The 20-year-old shooting guard had to hit the bench after San Antonio’s acquisition of Fox. He still had some good games, but his ceiling was certainly lower. Now with Fox out for the rest of the season, Castle will start again and has a chance to be a difference maker down the stretch of the season and in the fantasy playoffs.
