New York Knicks guard Jalen Brunson (ankle) had another stellar outing. During Tuesday's win over the Memphis Grizzlies, the All-Star finished with 27 points, shooting 11-for-21 from the field, adding eight assists and three steals. However, he injured his right ankle late in the fourth quarter, although he managed to walk off the floor. With this in mind, there's a realistic chance he won't play on Thursday night versus the Dallas Mavericks. If Brunson doesn't, it will be a tough blow for fantasy managers, considering he's averaged 38 points in the last three games. Expect Brunson to appear on the injury report heading into Thursday. If the 27-year-old is ruled out, Miles McBride would likely slide into the starting lineup and is worth streaming in any fantasy setup. Of course, Donte DiVincenzo would be the favorite to lead the way on the scoring end.
New York Knicks forward OG Anunoby (elbow) has been ruled out ahead of Tuesday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. This marks the fifth game in a row that Anunoby will sit out due to elbow inflammation. Precious Achiuwa should remain in the starting five until Anunoby can play again. Achiuwa was quiet when he first joined the team. However, he has played better lately and is a decent streaming choice until Anunoby returns.
According to Tim Bontemps of ESPN, New York Knicks forward OG Anunoby (elbow) remains without a return date. The former Raptor has missed the team's previous four games because of elbow inflammation, and it appears there's a realistic chance he won't play on Tuesday against the Memphis Grizzlies. It's a tough blow for the Knicks and Anunoby, with the 26-year-old averaging 15.6 points, 1.8 steals, and 1.1 blocks since the trade that sent him from Toronto to New York. At any rate, until Anunoby is cleared to return, Precious Achiuwa, averaging 12.3 points, 1.5 blocks, and 1.0 steals in four starts this season, is worth streaming in any fantasy format.
New York Knicks forward OG Anunoby (elbow) has been ruled out ahead of Saturday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers. This marks the fourth game in a row that Anunoby has missed due to right elbow inflammation. His absence means that Josh Hart and Precious Achiuwa should remain in the starting five. Both have stepped up lately and provided top-100 fantasy value with the Knicks shorthanded. That being said, Hart and Achiuwa are looking like must-have fantasy options until the Knicks get healthy.
New York Knicks forward OG Anunoby (elbow) is questionable for Saturday's matchup with the Los Angeles Lakers. It hasn't taken the 26-year-old long to adapt to life with his new team, averaging 15.6 points, 4.6 rebounds, and 1.8 steals in 14 games with the Knicks. He's missed the last three with an elbow injury. But if Anunoby can't return on Saturday, Donte DiVincenzo should continue to benefit.
