Karl-Anthony Towns

NYK Center-Forward #32

Karl-Anthony Towns (personal) is questionable for Friday’s game against the Nets.

Towns was left off the initial injury report, but popped up as questionable for personal reasons Friday morning. The 30-year-old center’s status for the game against the Nets is up in the air. Mitchell Robinson would start with Ariel Hukporti as the backup center if Towns is ruled out.
Josh Hart

NYK Guard #3

Josh Hart (knee) is out for Friday’s game against the Nets.

After enjoying his most productive scoring effort as a Knick in Tuesday’s win over the Pacers, Hart will not play on Friday. His absence opens up a spot in the starting lineup for Landry Shamet, who is worth streaming in this spot.
Jalen Brunson

NYK Guard #11

Jalen Brunson (ankle, neck) is not on the injury report for Friday’s game against the Nets.

Knicks coach Mike Brown expected Brunson to be back for this game, and he was a full participant in practice on Thursday. Now, he’ll officially return, which will push Jose Alvarado back to the bench after a strong performance as a starter.
Jalen Brunson

NYK Guard #11

Jalen Brunson (ankle, neck) was a full participant in Thursday’s practice.

Brunson did not play in Tuesday’s win over the Pacers, with Jose Alvarado replacing him in the starting lineup. The Knicks’ captain appears on track to return on Friday against the Nets, as he fully participated in Thursday’s practice.
Jose Alvarado

NYK Guard #5

Jose Alvarado started on Tuesday and contributed 16 points (5-of-10 FGs), two rebounds, 10 assists, two steals and four three-pointers against the Pacers.

Alvarado moved into the starting lineup with Jalen Brunson (ankle) sidelined for this game and took full advantage of the opportunity. He recorded a double-double for the first time this season and provided his usual dose of steals. Knicks coach Mike Brown said he’d “imagine” Brunson is back to take on the Nets on Friday, so this was likely just a one-game stream for Alvarado, though it’s worth keeping an eye on the injury report. It’s also worth noting how good Alvarado was in case Brunson misses more time in the future.
OG Anunoby

NYK Forward-Guard #8

OG Anunoby lit up the Pacers with 26 points (10-of-13 FGs), eight rebounds, four assists, one steal and four three-pointers on Tuesday.

Anunoby has been on fire recently, which has led to some strong performances. He has shot 55.2 percent from the floor over the past two weeks while averaging 21.5 points and 3.1 triples per game during that stretch. this was just another example of an uber-efficient outing, and he’ll look to stay hot in Brooklyn on Friday.
Josh Hart

NYK Guard #3

Josh Hart led the Knicks with 33 points (12-of-13 FGs), seven rebounds, five assists, two steals and five three-pointers in a 136-110 win over the Pacers on Tuesday.

With Jalen Brunson (ankle) sidelined, Hart stepped up on offense with an unreal shooting night. He became the fourth player in franchise history to score at least 30 points while shooting at least 90 percent from the floor, joining Walt Bellamy, Willis Reed and Bernard King. In fact, it’s only happened 104 times in NBA history, though it was the sixth time it has happened this season. Hart was fantastic, though it is unlikely he is able to come close to matching this performance anytime soon.
Miles McBride

NYK Guard #2

Knicks coach Mike Brown said Miles McBride (core) is doing on-court activities and taking contact.

McBride was expected to miss six-to-eight weeks, and Friday will mark six weeks since that report. It appears he’s on track to return soon, and he will provide extra depth in the backcourt alongside Jose Alvarado. However, Tyler Kolek will be pushed even further down the depth chart.
Jose Alvarado

NYK Guard #5

Jose Alvarado, Mikal Bridges, Josh Hart, OG Anunoby and Karl-Anthony Towns will start against the Pacers on Tuesday.

Alvarado will replace Jalen Brunson (ankle) in the starting unit for this game. This will be his first start as a Knick, and he should provide plenty of steals and assists in an increased role.
Mitchell Robinson

NYK Center-Forward #23

Mitchell Robinson (back) is available for Tuesday’s game against the Pacers.

Robinson was initially listed as questionable with a back injury, but was cleared for Tuesday’s game against the Pacers. With Karl-Anthony Towns also available, Robinson will serve in his usual reserve role.
