New York Knicks center Mitchell Robinson (ankle) will play on Tuesday against Miami. The 26-year-old missed over three months due to ankle surgery. However, after appearing in two games, he didn't suit up for Sunday's loss to OKC. But Mitchell will shed the questionable tag and get back in the lineup versus the Heat. However, he'll likely see between 15-20 minutes of action, although that's enough to negatively impact Isaiah Hartenstein and Precious Achiuwa's fantasy outlooks.
New York Knicks center Mitchell Robinson (ankle) is questionable ahead of Tuesday's showdown with Miami. After sitting out for over three months because of left ankle surgery, he has appeared in two games. However, the 2018 No. 26 overall pick aggravated the issue, keeping him off the floor for Sunday's one-point loss to Oklahoma City. If Mitchell is available, he'll likely see around 15-20 minutes of work, meaning his fantasy expectations are limited. But if he's not, Isaiah Hartenstein and Precious Achiuwa will presumably take care of business underneath the rim. While Hartenstein will likely get more action, DFS managers should still keep Achiuwa on the radar.
New York Knicks forwards OG Anunoby (elbow) and Julius Randle (shoulder) appear unlikely to return to action this season. Following Sunday's 113-112 loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder, Knicks guard/forward Josh Hart said that the team would be "pleasantly surprised" if Anunoby and Randle returned to the court in 2023-24. Anunoby made a comeback from elbow surgery on March 12 but played in only three games, while Randle has been out of the lineup since the end of January, missing 28 contests. The injuries have given extra fantasy value to Hart, who averaged 10.9 points, 11.9 rebounds, 6.3 assists, and 1.1 steals across March. Donte DiVincenzo and Precious Achiuwa have also taken on larger roles.
New York Knicks center Isaiah Hartenstein (wrist) will play against the Thunder on Sunday, while fellow big Mitchell Robinson (ankle) has been ruled out. Robinson appeared to hurt his left ankle again on Friday versus San Antonio. This was only his second appearance for the Knicks since recovering from ankle surgery. Hartenstein is dealing with a right wrist sprain but has been upgraded from probable to available. He's set to play a big part once more without Robinson, while Precious Achiuwa should get a boost of playing time as well. This is a favorable matchup for the Knicks frontcourt, as Oklahoma City struggles on the glass.
New York Knicks forward OG Anunoby (elbow) has been ruled out for the contest against the San Antonio Spurs on Friday, which pushes his missed-game streak to six in a row. Anunoby came back from his elbow injury for three games but has since gone back to the sidelines after a flare-up in his elbow. The Knicks threw Anunoby back on the court in a full starting role without limitations when he returned, so it seems he took on too much too early. While he's out, Miles McBride should continue to see more opportunities, while Donte DiVincenzo sees an uptick in value as well.
