Rotoworld Player News

Jose Alvarado

NYK Guard #5

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Jose Alvarado accounted for 16 points (6-of-16 FGs), five rebounds, seven assists, two steals, one block and four three-pointers in Sunday’s loss to the Hornets.

Having fallen out of the Knicks’ rotation recently, Alvarado started Sunday’s regular-season finale and logged 34 minutes. Acquired from the Pelicans at a time when the Knicks were shorthanded on the perimeter, his opportunities may be limited during the playoffs. That said, Alvarado does not need much time to be a nuisance on the defensive end of the floor, so there may still be a role for him in the Knicks’ first-round series against the Hawks.
Miles McBride

NYK Guard #2

Miles McBride produced 21 points (8-of-15 FGs, 1-of-2 FTs), three rebounds, one assist, one steal and four three-pointers in Sunday’s loss to the Hornets.

Among the players expected to be in the Knicks’ postseason rotation, McBride was one of the few to play credible minutes on Sunday. And to the delight of head coach Mike Brown and his staff, Deuce looked sharp in his 24 minutes on the court. Given the amount of time he missed following sports hernia surgery, that’s more important than the stat line that he recorded. The Knicks will face the Hawks in the first round, which begins next weekend.
Landry Shamet

NYK Guard #44

Landry Shamet (knee) is out for Sunday’s game against the Hornets.

Shamet has been added to the lengthy list of Knicks players who won’t play in a game that won’t affect the team’s playoff seeding. His absence frees up playing time for Mohamed Diawara and Pacôme Dadiet, with the former offering a higher ceiling for those in active fantasy leagues.
Miles McBride

NYK Guard #2

Miles McBride (pelvis) is not on the injury report for Sunday’s game against the Hornets.

McBride did not play in Friday’s win over the Raptors, as it was the second in as many nights for the Knicks. With Jalen Brunson already ruled out, more of the offense should run through McBride in Sunday’s regular-season finale.
Jalen Brunson

NYK Guard #11

Jalen Brunson (ankle) and Tyler Kolek (oblique) are out for Sunday’s game against the Hornets.

While Brunson will miss Sunday’s game due to injury management, Kolek will miss a fourth straight with a strained oblique. Jose Alvarado should play plenty, and Sunday’s game may be one where the Knicks look to get Miles McBride going, as he’s struggled since returning from sports hernia surgery.
Karl-Anthony Towns

NYK Center-Forward #32

Karl-Anthony Towns (elbow) and Mitchell Robinson (ankle) are out for Sunday’s game against the Hornets.

While Towns recorded another double-double in Friday’s win over the Raptors, Robinson sat out because it was the Knicks’ second game in as many nights. With both out for Sunday’s regular-season finale, Ariel Hukporti and Jeremy Sochan should play quality minutes, with one moving into the starting lineup.
OG Anunoby

NYK Forward-Guard #8

OG Anunoby (ankle) and Josh Hart (ankle) are out for Sunday’s game against the Hornets.

The Knicks secured the No. 3 seed with their win over the Raptors on Friday, so the only starter who will play on Sunday is Mikal Bridges due to his streak of consecutive games played. Anunoby was injured during the first half of Friday’s game, with Landry Shamet replacing him in the lineup. Shamet and Jordan Clarkson may see boosts to their minutes, and Pacôme Dadiet should play more since there isn’t anything on the line seeding-wise.
Mikal Bridges

NYK Guard-Forward #25

Mikal Bridges tallied 13 points (5-of-10 FGs, 1-of-1 FTs), one rebound, three assists, three steals and two three-pointers in Friday’s win over the Raptors.

Of the Knicks’ five starters, Bridges may be the only one guaranteed to play in Sunday’s game against the Hornets, preserving his consecutive games played streak. However, fantasy managers in active leagues who are rostering Bridges should not expect him to play starters’ minutes. Jordan Clarkson (10/1/4) and Mohamed Diawara (3/1/1/1) are likely to see their opportunities increase in the regular season finale.
Karl-Anthony Towns

NYK Center-Forward #32

Karl-Anthony Towns accounted for 22 points (8-of-12 FGs, 5-of-5 FTs), 10 rebounds, five assists and one three-pointer in Friday’s win over the Raptors.

Towns added another double-double to his league-leading tally, recording his 56th on Friday. He and the Knicks have looked sharp during the final week of the regular season, which is good to see with the playoffs one week away. The Knicks secured the No. 3 seed on Friday, so Towns could either play limited minutes or sit out Sunday’s game against the Hornets entirely.
Jalen Brunson

NYK Guard #11

Jalen Brunson finished Friday’s win over the Raptors with 29 points (12-of-18 FGs, 3-of-3 FTs), three rebounds, two assists, two steals and two three-pointers.

Brunson and the Knicks took care of business on Friday, securing the No. 3 seed in the East with their win and Cleveland’s loss to Atlanta. As a result, fantasy managers in active leagues should plan for the possibility of Brunson not playing in Sunday’s game against the Hornets. If he sits, Jose Alvarado (12/5/2 with one three-pointer) would move into the starting lineup.
