NYK • Shooting Guard • #44

On a day when Mikal Bridges (9/3/4 with one three-pointer) and Miles McBride (9/1/2/2 with one three-pointer) combined to shoot 2-of-17 from beyond the arc, Shamet gave the Knicks excellent minutes off the bench. This is the first time he’s reached double figures in consecutive games since returning from a shoulder injury that sidelined him for 25 games. Shamet isn’t worth rostering when the Knicks are whole, but the last two games were a step in the right direction.

While not a prolific scorer, Hart’s ability to fill a stat line makes him highly valuable to category league managers. On Saturday, he recorded his ninth double-double of the season and first since returning from an ankle injury suffered on Christmas Day that sidelined him for eight games. However, Hart has struggled from the foul line, making 38.5 percent of his attempts over the past two weeks.

After totaling 14 points on 5-of-12 shooting in his prior two appearances, Anunoby snapped out of his mini-slump in a big way on Saturday. Shooting 66.7 percent from the field, the Knicks’ wing was a blocked shot shy of a complete stat line. Anunoby’s production helped compensate for Karl-Anthony Towns’ (10/6/1/0/1 with one three-pointer) poor afternoon, as he played 16 minutes before fouling out. The Knicks play four games in Week 15, starting with the Kings on Tuesday.

After dropping their first two meetings with the 76ers, both at home, the Knicks picked up a vital victory on Saturday. Brunson led the way offensively, recording his 18th 30-point game of the season. His fantasy value has taken a hit recently, with his decreased scoring the culprit. Brunson doesn’t bring much value in the defensive categories, making offensive production that much more important in category leagues.

Towns is good to go after being listed as questionable on the initial injury report for Saturday’s game. He’ll occupy his usual place in the starting lineup, with Mitchell Robinson coming off the bench.

If Towns isn’t able to suit up, Mitchell Robinson would start in his place. Ariel Hukporti would also see a bump in minutes off the bench, though he wouldn’t be worth streaming. Towns’ absence would open up plenty of shots and minutes, and Robinson would receive a nice value boost as a starter.

After totaling 48 points in losses to the Warriors and Suns, McBride crashed back to earth on Monday with a five-point performance against the Mavericks. He got back on track Wednesday night, shooting 50 percent from the field and finishing a blocked shot shy of a complete line. With Jalen Brunson healthy, McBride’s fantasy upside is limited, but he can still be of value to deep-league managers.

Shamet was red-hot from beyond the arc on Wednesday, making all six of his attempts on the night. While his role doesn’t make him a viable option in most fantasy leagues, the Knicks’ reserve has averaged 2.3 three-pointers per game since returning from a shoulder injury. Shamet will only be worth a look on nights when the Knicks are shorthanded on the wings.

Wednesday went as well as it could have for Brunson and the Knicks, who entered their game with the Nets 2-9 in their last 11 games. The Knicks set a franchise record for margin of victory (54 points), and Brunson didn’t have to over-exert himself. Of course, fantasy managers would have hoped for a more competitive game, as the point guard may have logged more than 31 minutes. Saturday’s game against the 76ers stands to be far more competitive.

Robinson may have been the only Knicks player to bring consistent energy during the first half of Monday’s game. He finished with 15 rebounds and a double-double, his second double-double of the season. The combination of inconsistent availability and limited scoring makes Robinson challenging to rely on in most fantasy leagues. However, nights like Monday are a reminder of what he’s capable of despite the minutes restriction.

Towns may have recorded a solid stat line, but looks can be deceiving. His penchant for committing silly fouls continued, and the aggression needed from a player of KAT’s caliber was not always there. Fantasy managers can be pleased with the complete stat line, but the Knicks need more from Towns if they’re to snap out of their current funk.

As bad as the Knicks’ January 5 loss to the Pistons was, Monday’s performance may have been worse. They couldn’t string together stops against a depleted Mavericks team and also struggled to make shots. Brunson’s points and assists were solid, but he shot the ball poorly in a game the Knicks were never really in. The Knicks will look to bounce back on Wednesday when they host the Nets.

The Knicks will have their preferred starting lineup back for this game. Brunson is back after a two-game absence, while Hart is back after missing their last game. Miles McBride and Mohamed Diawara will return to playing roles off the bench.

Hart is back after a one-game absence, which is excellent news for the Knicks and for fantasy managers. His return means that Mohamed Diawara will head back to the bench, and the rookie is not worth rostering in redraft leagues.

After a two-game absence, Brunson is back in the Knicks’ lineup. His return will push Miles McBride to the bench. While his fantasy ceiling will be lower, McBride is worth holding onto due to his consistent production in recent games.

Hart did not play in Saturday’s loss to the Suns, as he’s dealing with an ankle injury that’s considered to be day-to-day. Mohamed Diawara moved into the starting lineup but did not play enough to affect fantasy basketball. Leave him on the waiver wire if Hart remains out.

Brunson has missed New York’s last two games with a sprained right ankle. Miles McBride has been productive as Brunson’s replacement in the starting lineup, but the Knicks lost both games. McBride is worth holding onto in deep leagues, even if Brunson is available.

For the first time since Halloween, Anunoby has recorded back-to-back 20-point games. He didn’t shoot the ball well against the Suns, but the rebounds, assists and steals should help compensate for the field-goal percentage. The assists and steals have been down recently, which has led to Anunoby being a ninth-round player in eight-cat formats over the past two weeks. However, his season-long value continues to exceed his Yahoo! ADP (66).

Towns recorded a double-double, but the performance felt a bit underwhelming from the Knicks’ star center. Phoenix’s physicality on defense appeared to affect KAT, who attempted half of his shots from beyond the arc. Shooting 43.3 percent from the field, he has only been a top-75 player over the past two weeks. Towns and the Knicks will look to bounce back on Monday against the Mavericks, the first of three games they’ll play in Week 14.

McBride put forth another quality performance filling in for Jalen Brunson, posting consecutive 20-point games for the first time this season. Given the production, he is worth adding as long as Brunson remains unavailable due to his sprained ankle. The Knicks open a three-game Week 14 on Monday against the Mavericks.

Already without Jalen Brunson (ankle), the Knicks won’t have Josh Hart (ankle) for Saturday night’s game. His absence means that Diawara will start, which gives the rookie a shot at achieving fantasy relevance. However, he is not a must-stream player. McBride will get another start in Brunson’s absence and should be rostered in some 12-team leagues.

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.

Brunson will miss a second consecutive game with a sprained right ankle. His continued absence means that Miles McBride remains in the starting lineup, and Deuce is worth streaming until Brunson returns.

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.

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.
