Robinson didn’t do much scoring Saturday night, but that isn’t why he’s on the court. The rebounds and blocks are why he’s so valuable to the Knicks and fantasy managers, and Robinson produced those in bulk against the Hornets. Eleven of his 14 rebounds were of the offensive variety, and he also rejected four shots. Robinson’s ranked within the top 100 in 9-cat per-game value, with foul shooting (38.5%) remaining an issue. Given what he brings to the table as a rebounder and defender, the free throws can be overlooked, especially since he doesn’t go to the line very often.

This was the second straight game that Clowney scored 17 points in a loss in Miami, but he did more work from beyond the three-point line in this one. His production has been inconsistent, and he had some rough performances in February, but he is more than capable of making a big impact. He is one of the safest fantasy options in Brooklyn at the moment.

After being held without an assist in Tuesday’s loss in Miami, Traoré responded with his second-highest assist total in a game this season. All nine of his point came before halftime, so this certainly could’ve been a bigger performance for him. Still, it was good to see him provide more playmaking in this outing. They’ll wrap up the week in Detroit on Saturday, which will be another tough matchup.

Holland had been playing well in this game, scoring 10 points in 12 minutes prior to his exit. Kevin Huerter may see a few extra minutes if Holland misses time beyond the end of this game.
