New York Knicks

New York Knicks forward OG Anunoby (elbow) will play on Tuesday against the 76ers, barring a setback during warmups. The Knicks desperately need him, with the team losing 10 of their 18 games while he's been out of the lineup because of an elbow injury. While the 26-year-old makes most of his presence known defensively whenever he's on the floor, averaging 1.8 steals in 14 games in New York, he also has averaged 15.6 points. Nonetheless, Anunoby might be limited in his first game back. However, he should see enough action to lower the fantasy ceiling of Josh Hart.

New York Knicks forward OG Anunoby (elbow) is questionable for Tuesday's meeting with the 76ers. He hasn't played in over a month because of elbow surgery. But the former Raptor has recently ramped things up at practice and is labeled as day-to-day. That said, there's still a good chance Anunoby won't be available versus Philadelphia. If that's the case, fantasy managers could see the 26-year-old back in the lineup when the Knicks begin a four-game road trip on Thursday in Portland. Unfortunately, it could take Anunoby some time to get his legs back under him, meaning his fantasy potential could be capped for at least a few games once he's cleared.

Philadelphia 76ers point guard Cameron Payne will join the starting unit for Sunday's contest against the Knicks, replacing Buddy Hield. The veteran is getting his third start in four games after previously filling in for Kyle Lowry and Nicolas Batum. He starts on the backcourt alongside Lowry this time, with Hield set to lead the second unit. Together with his time in Milwaukee, Payne has made five starts across the season, amassing a respectable 14.4 points, 3.0 rebounds, 3.6 assists, and 1.2 steals in the role. Hield began the campaign as a bench piece in Indiana, so the role isn't anything new for him, and he should still get plenty of action off the pine.

New York Knicks point guard Jalen Brunson (knee) will return to action in Friday's matchup against Orlando. The first-year All-Star ended up sitting out only one game with a left knee contusion. Brunson's return pushes Miles McBride back to the bench. The 23-year-old has struggled to get meaningful minutes as a member of the second unit and won't have much fantasy value. The Knicks star makes his return in a juicy spot, as the Magic will be without their best backcourt defender Jalen Suggs (thigh), which puts Brunson in a good position to go off for a big night.

Minnesota Timberwolves center Karl-Anthony Towns (knee) will undergo surgery to repair a torn meniscus in his left knee and is out indefinitely. The team had already ruled him out for Thursday's tilt with the Pacers. He will be reevaluated around April 8th but will likely miss the final four regular season games. Naz Reid will be relied upon in Towns' absence, and Kyle Anderson should see a more significant role in the team's rotation.
