Karl-Anthony Towns (elbow) is not on the injury report for Monday’s game against the Hawks.

Towns is back after sitting out Friday’s rout of the Bulls. His return means that Mitchell Robinson will come off the bench, lowering his fantasy ceiling.
Mitchell Robinson

NYK Center-Forward #23

Mitchell Robinson accumulated 17 points (7-of-7 FGs, 3-of-4 FTs), 11 rebounds, two steals and one blocked shot in Friday’s win over the Bulls.

With no Karl-Anthony Towns (elbow), Robinson made his return to action as a starter after sitting out Wednesday’s win over the Grizzlies. He did most of his damage before halftime, finishing the first half with 15 points and 10 rebounds. Robinson was also responsible for three defensive contributions in his 23 minutes. Josh Hart also reached double figures in rebounds, grabbing 11 to go along with seven points and four assists. The Knicks play four games in Week 24 for managers whose leagues will remain active.
OG Anunoby

NYK Forward-Guard #8

OG Anunoby tallied 31 points (9-of-15 FGs,6-of-6 FTs), eight rebounds, two assists, one block and seven three-pointers in Friday’s win over the Bulls.

For the second consecutive game, Anunoby and the Knicks took advantage of a lottery-bound opponent. He shot 7-of-10 from beyond the arc against the Bulls, matching his career-high for made threes in a game. Add in the rebounds, points and percentages, and this was an excellent end to Week 23 for those rostering Anunoby. The lone negative is that the Knicks won’t play again until Monday, ending OG’s fantasy season in Yahoo! default leagues.
Jalen Brunson

NYK Guard #11

Jalen Brunson accounted for 17 points (6-of-13 FGs, 4-of-4 FTs), one rebound, 10 assists and one three-pointer in Friday’s win over the Bulls.

Back in action after sitting out Wednesday’s win over the Grizzlies, Brunson played 30 minutes on Friday. With the Knicks scoring 20 of the game’s first 21 points, there was little need for the Knicks to push their point guard too far. Brunson recorded his second points/assists double-double in four appearances while committing just two turnovers. The Knicks are done for Week 23, but they’ll play four games in Week 24 for those competing in fantasy leagues that will still be active.
Karl-Anthony Towns

NYK Center-Forward #32

Karl-Anthony Towns (elbow) is out for Friday’s game against the Bulls.

Towns is out after recording his first triple-double of the season in Wednesday’s win over the Grizzlies. Mitchell Robinson, who did not play on Wednesday, will move into the starting lineup and is worth streaming in some 12-team leagues. Jalen Brunson, Mikal Bridges, Josh Hart and OG Anunoby complete the starting five.
Karl-Anthony Towns

NYK Center-Forward #32

Karl-Anthony Towns (elbow) is questionable for Friday’s matchup with the Bulls, and Mitchell Robinson (ankle) is off the injury report.

KAT is dealing with right elbow impingement, and his late addition to the injury report doesn’t bode well for his status against Chicago. If Towns is forced to sit this one out, Robinson would replace him in the starting five, making him a reliable Friday streaming option.
Jalen Brunson

NYK Guard #11

Jalen Brunson (ankle) and Miles McBride (pelvis) are off the injury report for Friday’s matchup with the Bulls.

Brunson and Deuce will be available after sitting out Wednesday, and both should handle their typical workloads. Jose Alvarado, Tyler Kolek and Jordan Clarkson should all see their minutes reduced with New York’s top two point guards available.
Landry Shamet

NYK Guard #44

Landry Shamet (knee) accounted for 13 points (5-of-9 FGs, 0-of-1 FTs), three rebounds, one assist, two steals and three three-pointers in Wednesday’s win over the Grizzlies.

Back in the Knicks’ rotation after a five-game absence, Shamet played 31 minutes without incident on Wednesday. And he had a good night shooting the basketball, making three of five attempts from beyond the arc. With Miles McBride, who did not play on Wednesday, avoiding an injury scare during Sunday’s loss to the Thunder, getting Shamet back will strengthen New York’s perimeter depth ahead of the postseason.
OG Anunoby

NYK Forward-Guard #8

OG Anunoby tallied 25 points (8-of-17 FGs, 5-of-6 FTs), 13 rebounds, three assists, one steal, two blocks and four three-pointers in Wednesday’s win over the Grizzlies.

After totaling 35 points in the first three games of the Knicks’ four-game road trip, Anunoby put up 25 in the finale on Wednesday. Add in the rebounds and other categories, and the Knicks’ wing gave fantasy managers an excellent stat line to work with. New York ends its Week 23 with a game against the Bulls on Friday, which could be another big game for Anunoby.
Mikal Bridges

NYK Guard-Forward #25

Mikal Bridges notched 24 points (9-of-15 FGs, 3-of-3 FTs), two rebounds, one assist, one block and three three-pointers in Wednesday’s win over the Grizzlies.

For the first time in a month, Bridges has scored at least 20 points in a game. No Jalen Brunson in the lineup opened things up for the other Knicks, especially those who take a back seat offensively on most nights. In addition to shooting 66.7 percent from the field, Bridges’ three free throws were the most he’s attempted in a game since March 13. In fact, since that win over the Pacers, he totaled four free-throw attempts in the nine games that followed. Regardless of who’s on the court for the Knicks, they need Bridges to be more aggressive on offense.
