New York Knicks DVOA, Stats, & NBA Rankings

New York Knicks guard Jalen Brunson (shoulder) finished with 44 points in Sunday's win over the Milwaukee Bucks. He added six assists, five rebounds, and one steal. The 28-year-old briefly exited the contest after suffering a right shoulder injury, although he was able to return to lead the Knicks to an impressive victory. Fortunately, it doesn't sound as the injury is anything serious, with head coach Tom Thibodeau reporting Brunson suffered a "stinger." With that in mind, he'll likely appear on the injury report heading into Monday's meeting with the Detroit Pistons. If Brunson doesn't suit up for that one, Cameron Payne, scoring 18 points on Sunday, and Miles McBride could see an increase in fantasy contributions.

New York Knicks guard Miles McBride (hamstring) is considered probable for Sunday's matchup against Milwaukee. After missing five games with a hamstring strain, McBride returned to action on Friday versus Oklahoma City and is expected to remain in the lineup for Sunday's fascinating clash. Coming off the Knicks bench, McBride has averaged 9.7 points, 2.7 rebounds, and 3.1 assists in 2024-25. He hasn't been an attractive fantasy piece and could struggle on Sunday, as only four teams allow fewer bench points than the Bucks.

New York Knicks center Karl-Anthony Towns (knee) has drawn a questionable status on Friday for their matchup against the Oklahoma City Thunder. The Knicks will likely need all hands on deck to beat the Western Conference-leading Thunder despite Chet Holmgren (hip) being out. Towns was able to play against the Raptors on Wednesday and posted a stat line of 27 points, 13 rebounds, two assists, three steals, and two blocks. If he's downgraded, Jericho Sims would move into the starting five while Precious Achiuwa would get some more minutes off of the bench. Achiuwa is the more consistent producer for fantasy managers looking for a streamer in that case.

New York Knicks guard Miles McBride (hamstring) has been ruled out ahead of Wednesday's game against the Toronto Raptors. This marks the fourth game in a row that McBride has missed due to a left hamstring issue. His absence should mean increased playing time for Cameron Payne and Landry Shamet. Both players are only playing minutes in the teens and aren't contributing enough to be considered streaming options for Wednesday's slate.

New York Knicks center Karl-Anthony Towns (knee) is available ahead of Wednesday's game against the Toronto Raptors. The superstar center is back in action after sitting out of Monday's contest due to right knee tendinitis. There is no word of Towns being limited after a one-game absence, so fantasy managers should expect him to have his full workload. Jericho Sims played 29 minutes on Monday, so he's expected to fall in the rotation with Towns available. Fantasy managers can feel safe getting Towns back in their lineups ahead of tip-off.
