Rotoworld Player News

Josh Hart

NYK Guard #3

Knicks coach Mike Brown told reporters he thinks Josh Hart (ankle) will play in Tuesday’s season opener against the 76ers.

Hart was ruled out with an ankle injury ahead of the Knicks’ preseason game against the Raptors on Thursday. Knicks coach Mike Brown told reporters he doesn’t think the injury will impact Hart’s status for the Knicks’ season opener against the 76ers on Tuesday, which is great news for fantasy managers. The game will air at 7:00 PM ET on NBC and Peacock.
Jalen Brunson

NYK Guard #11

Jalen Brunson had 20 points (7-of-15 FGs, 5-of-6 FTs), three rebounds, seven assists, one steal and one three-pointer in the exhibition against the Raptors on Tuesday.

Brunson was back in the lineup after skipping Tuesday’s matchup against the Raptors, which was the second night of a preseason back-to-back. The 30-year-old point guard led the Knicks with 20 points in the 122-120 victory. Brunson has averaged at least 26 points in each of the last three years, making him a rock solid pick late in the second round of fantasy drafts.
Drew Eubanks

NYK Forward-Center #17

ESPN’s Shams Charania reports that Drew Eubanks has suffered a torn pectoral muscle that will sideline him indefinitely, and the Knicks will waive him.

Eubanks was competing for a reserve role with the reigning champs, but he’ll have to look for a new team while recovering from his pectoral injury. Eubanks is not on the fantasy basketball radar ahead of the 2026-27 season.
Tyler Nickel

NYK Guard-Forward

Tyler Nickel provided a boost off the bench with 11 points (3-of-11 FGs), two rebounds, two steals and one three-pointer against the Raptors on Tuesday.

Nickel didn’t see the floor much in New York’s first two preseason games, but with the starters resting, he played a significant role in this one. He didn’t shoot the ball well from deep despite being a strong shooting prospect, but he was still able to score in double figures. Nickel likely won’t see the floor much this season, and there is no reason for managers to have him rostered outside of deep dynasty leagues.
James Wiseman

NYK Center

James Wiseman finished with 18 points (7-of-8 FGs) and 10 rebounds in a 148-98 loss to the Raptors on Tuesday.

The Knicks rested their starters for their final preseason outing, which gave Wiseman the opportunity to start. He made the most of his opportunity, though it didn’t do much to help the Knicks on the scoreboard. Still, Wiseman signed a training camp deal, so he’s still fighting for a full-time roster spot. Performances like this will help make his case, though even if he does make the roster, or ends up signing elsewhere, it is unlikely he plays a significant role.
OG Anunoby

NYK Forward-Guard #8

OG Anunoby amassed 15 points (4-of-8 FGs, 6-of-6 FTs), two rebounds, one assist, three steals and one three-pointer in Monday’s exhibition against the Timberwolves.

Anunoby was one of three Knicks starters to finish Monday’s exhibition in double figures, joining Jalen Brunson and Karl-Anthony Towns. Despite providing top-50 value each of the last two seasons, OG’s current ADP still sits in the high-60s. With that in mind, he could return excellent fantasy value in 2026-27, especially if he’s more aggressive in looking for his own shot.
Jalen Brunson

NYK Guard #11

Jalen Brunson finished Monday’s exhibition against the Timberwolves with 20 points (6-of-13 FGs, 7-of-8 FTs), five rebounds, three assists, three steals and one three-pointer.

Monday’s game was the first of two in as many nights for the Knicks, who visit the Raptors on Tuesday. Even if Brunson and the other starters are available, they may not play much in New York’s final road game this preseason. Unsurprisingly, Brunson was the most productive starter against the Timberwolves, and he’ll lead the way offensively on many nights during the regular season.
Andre Drummond

NYK Center #0

Andre Drummond produced eight points (2-of-6 FGs, 4-of-6 FTs), nine rebounds, four assists and two steals in Thursday’s exhibition against the Wizards.

Drummond’s ability to hit the boards was the main reason why the Knicks signed him to fill the void left by Mitchell Robinson. Five of Drummond’s nine rebounds on Thursday came on the offensive end of the floor. He may not be the rim protector that Robinson was, but Drummond will be an important member of the Knicks’ bench unit.
Josh Hart

NYK Guard #3

Josh Hart tallied 13 points (5-of-8 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), six rebounds, three assists, one steal, one block and one three-pointer in Thursday’s exhibition against the Wizards.

After a relatively quiet night in the Knicks’ preseason opener on Monday, Hart recorded a complete stat line on Thursday. With an ADP just inside the top-100, Hart is once again positioned to be a fantasy steal, especially in category leagues. He may not be the “sexiest” option for managers seeking significant upside, but one could do a lot worse than selecting Hart in drafts.
Karl-Anthony Towns

NYK Center-Forward #32

Karl-Anthony Towns finished Monday’s exhibition against the 76ers with five points (2-of-4 FGs), five rebounds and two assists.

Towns recently expressed displeasure with how his contract negotiations with the Knicks have gone, but he also vowed professionalism won’t be an issue. The 7-footer has a player option worth $61 million for the 2027-28 campaign, but closing a deal before the season starts would likely save the Knicks money. With Josh Hart and Miles McBride also hoping to get deals done, the Knicks have some financial things to address as they look to repeat as champions.
