New York Knicks DVOA, Stats, & NBA Rankings

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.

New York Knicks guard Miles McBride (ribs) will be active on Thursday against the Chicago Bulls. McBride suffered a rib contusion against the Atlanta Hawks before the All-Star break but is not listed on the injury report ahead of Thursday's action. The 24-year-old has had a fairly quiet campaign, averaging 9.0 points and 2.6 assists in 23.2 minutes, but he may make more noise on Thursday due to Josh Hart's (knee) absence. It's a great fantasy matchup for the Knicks players, as the Bulls like to push the tempo but have a leaky defense.

New York Knicks guard/forward Josh Hart (knee) will not be in the lineup on Thursday against the Chicago Bulls. Hart has been on the injury report with a knee issue for a while, and the team has ruled him out for Thursday's action due to right patellofemoral syndrome. OG Anunoby (foot) is on the cusp of returning to the lineup and may take Hart's spot in the starting unit on Thursday. Miles McBride (ribs) is another option, as he has been cleared to play after suffering a rib contusion before the All-Star break.

New York Knicks forward OG Anunoby (foot) is on the injury report as questionable for Thursday's contest against the Chicago Bulls. Anunoby has been sidelined for five games with a right foot sprain, but he practiced fully on Wednesday, and it looks like there's a good chance Anunoby will be ready to return against Chicago. Since moving to New York, Anunoby has been somewhat of a talisman for the Knicks, who hold a 52-20 record with him in the lineup. During Anunoby's absence, Precious Achiuwa has stepped in as a starter and might keep his place in the first unit on Thursday, as Josh Hart (knee) will come out of the lineup.
