New York Knicks DVOA, Stats, & NBA Rankings

New York Knicks guard/forward Josh Hart (knee) has been ruled out for Friday's meeting with the Cleveland Cavaliers. He will be sidelined for a second consecutive game due to patellofemoral syndrome in his right knee. Hart is considered day-to-day, so it's possible he can return to the lineup for Sunday's big matchup against the Boston Celtics. On Thursday against the Chicago Bulls, Miles McBride filled in for Hart in the starting unit and looks set for a larger workload again on Friday night. McBride was the team's second-highest scorer with 23 points in Thursday's 113-111 overtime win.

New York Knicks forwardOG Anunoby(foot) is listed as questionable for Friday's matchup with the Cleveland Cavaliers. Anunoby could miss his eighth consecutive contest due to a sprained right foot. If the former Raptor is unable to suit up once again, 25-year-old forward Precious Achiuwa will likely get the nod to continue to start. In his last outing on Thursday, Achiuwa finished with 11 points, nine rebounds and three steals across 46 minutes in a 113-111 overtime win over the Bulls.

New York Knicks forward Precious Achiuwa and guard Miles McBride will start in Thursday's game against Chicago. Josh Hart (knee) and OG Anunoby (foot) are both unavailable, so the team will need to plug some holes in the starting lineup. Granted, the Knicks still have Jalen Brunson, Karl-Anthony Towns, and Mikal Bridges. But Achiuwa and McBride could easily exceed usual expectations, so both are worth streaming in any fantasy format. Cameron Payne should also receive his share of work from off the bench.

New York Knicks forward OG Anunoby (foot) is ruled out on Thursday against the Bulls. The former Raptor missed five-straight contests heading into the All-Star break. He was listed as questionable for Thursday night. Unfortunately, the foot injury will keep him on the shelf. Josh Hart (knee) is also unavailable, meaning Jalen Brunson and Karl-Anthony Towns should both benefit on the scoring end. The same can be said for Mikal Bridges, Precious Achiuwa, and Cameron Payne.

New York Knicks center Mitchell Robinson (ankle) went through a full practice on Wednesday. The team has ruled Robinson out for Thursday's matchup against the Chicago Bulls, but the fact that he is back on the court as a full participant in practice suggests that his comeback is close. ESPN's Shams Charania recently reported that the Knicks and Robinson are targeting March 1 as his return date. Robinson has yet to play this season due to ankle surgery. With Karl-Anthony Towns now in Knicks colors, Robinson may have limited fantasy value upon his return, but he will be a good addition to the rotation.
