New York Knicks forward OG Anunoby (elbow) has been upgraded to questionable for the first time since having to be sidelined again due to a flare-up in his elbow, which caused him to miss almost two months from January to March. He originally returned for three games on March 12, but experienced a setback and has missed the last nine games. If he's able to play against the Chicago Bulls, it's unclear how many minutes he'll receive right away, since 30 or more minutes seemed to be too much last time. Miles McBride would take the biggest hit to his opportunities, but fantasy managers may want to wait and see how Anunoby comes back into the rotation.
New York Knicks guard Josh Hart (wrist) has been cleared to play ahead of Thursday's game against the Sacramento Kings. Hart is ready to go after being listed as questionable coming into this game. He should resume his role in the starting five, but might not shoot as much due to the wrist issue. Hart still does enough in other aspects to hold fantasy value even if he doesn't score as much as normal. Fantasy managers in season long formats should feel fine about plugging Hart back in their lineups.
New York Knicks center Mitchell Robinson (ankle) has been upgraded to available ahead of Thursday's game against the Sacramento Kings. Robinson has been cleared to play after being listed as questionable coming into this game. The assumption is that Robinson will continue coming off the bench as the Knicks are trying to manage his workload. Despite not starting, Robinson should still be a valuable asset due to his defensive ability.
New York Knicks forward Josh Hart (wrist) is questionable for Thursday's game against the Kings. He has a sprained right wrist. However, it didn't stop him from logging 46 minutes in Tuesday's 10-point loss to the Miami Heat. Yet, despite his availability, Hart struggled offensively, ending the night with only two points. With that said, if he can't suit up versus Sacramento, Bojan Bogdanovic, who had 16 points on Tuesday, could become a popular DFS option.
New York Knicks center Mitchell Robinson (ankle) is questionable for Thursday's matchup with the visiting Kings. After missing over three months because of ankle surgery, he finally returned to the lineup. However, he missed Sunday's loss to OKC but managed to suit up against the Heat on Tuesday night. Unfortunately, Robinson, logged just 10 minutes and finished with one rebound and one steal while being held scoreless. If he plays, he could see more work, although presumably not much more than 15 minutes. As a result, Isaiah Hartenstein and Precious Achiuwa should continue to split most of the work in the middle. But with that in mind, Hartenstein or Achiuwa aren't consistent fantasy options.
