Miles McBride

NYK Guard #2

SNY’s Ian Begley reports that Miles McBride (ankle) will be re-evaluated in one week.

McBride has been sidelined since December 7th, and it now appears he will be out at least a week longer. Even though he is no longer starting, McBride is a key part of the Knicks’ rotation and has made clear gains as a scorer this season. In his absence, Jordan Clarkson will continue to be relied on for bench scoring, and Tyler Kolek will see an uptick in minutes.
Jalen Brunson

NYK Guard #11

Jalen Brunson led the Knicks with 35 points (13-of-19 FGs), three rebounds, four assists, one block and six three-pointers in a 117-101 win over the Raptors on Tuesday.

Brunson took over this game early, and he entered halftime with 26 points. He wasn’t as dominant in the second half, but he did enough to help the Knicks advance to the semifinals of the NBA Cup. This was Brunson’s third straight game with at least 30 points, and he’ll look to keep that going against the Magic in Las Vegas on Saturday, with a chance to advance to the NBA Cup championship on Monday.
Josh Hart

NYK Guard #3

Josh Hart lit up the Raptors with 21 points (8-of-11 FGs), six rebounds, four assists, two steals and four three-pointers on Tuesday.

Hart simply couldn’t miss in this game. This was just his third 20-point game of the season, and he has shot at least 60 percent from the floor in each of those. All of them have come since Nov. 24, which is when he moved into the starting lineup. Hart’s return to the starting lineup was also a return to fantasy dominance for him. As long as that doesn’t change, Hart will be a fantasy stud.
Karl-Anthony Towns

NYK Center-Forward #32

Karl-Anthony Towns returned to the lineup on Tuesday and contributed 14 points (4-of-11 FGs), 16 rebounds, one assist, one steal, two blocks and one three-pointer against the Raptors.

After missing Sunday’s win over the Magic with a calf injury, Towns returned to the lineup for the quarterfinals of the NBA Cup. It wasn’t a great offensive performance, but he dominated the glass in his 31 minutes. Having Towns back on the floor helped New York advance to the semifinals in Las Vegas, which will be a matchup with the Magic on Saturday.
Karl-Anthony Towns

NYK Center-Forward #32

Karl-Anthony Towns (calf) will play against the Raptors on Tuesday.

Towns missed Sunday’s game against Orlando, which allowed Mitchell Robinson to move into the starting unit. He’ll head back to the bench with Towns back. KAT was able to practice on Monday, so it doesn’t come as a surprise that he’ll be available with a trip to Las Vegas on the line.
Pacôme Dadiet

NYK Forward #4

Pacôme Dadiet (ankle) is out for Tuesday’s game against the Raptors.

Dadiet is not in the Knicks’ regular rotation when healthy, so his absence will not affect fantasy basketball.
Miles McBride

NYK Guard #2

Miles McBride (ankle) is out for Tuesday’s game against the Raptors.

McBride suffered a sprained left ankle during Sunday’s win over the Magic and did not return. If the Knicks advance to the NBA Cup semifinals with a victory on Tuesday, they would be off until Saturday. No McBride means the Knicks will need more consistency from Jordan Clarkson, and he is not worth the risk in most fantasy leagues.
Karl-Anthony Towns

NYK Center-Forward #32

Karl-Anthony Towns (calf) went through practice on Monday.

Towns’ status for Tuesday’s game against Toronto is still up in the air, but his return to practice is a good sign. On Sunday, Mitchell Robinson started and played a season-high 25 minutes, while Ariel Hukporti filled the 23 minutes that Robinson was on the bench. Towns’ return would likely push Robinson to the bench and Hukporti back out of the rotation.
Miles McBride

NYK Guard #2

Miles McBride (ankle) will undergo an MRI on Monday.

McBride injured his left ankle during Sunday’s win over the Magic, with Orlando guard Desmond Bane landing on the Knicks guard’s leg after attempting to block his layup attempt. McBride did not return after exiting, and he’ll undergo an MRI to determine the severity of the injury. If he misses time, the Knicks will have to rely more on Jordan Clarkson for scoring off the bench, and inconsistency has been an issue for him this season.
Mitchell Robinson

NYK Center-Forward #23

Mitchell Robinson finished Sunday’s win over Orlando with six points, 13 rebounds, two assists, a steal and a blocked shot across 25 minutes.

Robinson filled in for Karl-Anthony Towns (calf) and made the most of his opportunity. The big man led all players in rebounds and did what he normally does, providing efficient shooting with just one turnover. He corralled eight offensive boards, helping New York get some second-chance looks in the close victory. Robinson should remain a starter until KAT is cleared to return.
