New York Knicks DVOA, Stats, & NBA Rankings

New York Knicks forward OG Anunoby (thumb) has been ruled out for Thursday's contest against the Detroit Pistons. He will miss his first game since Feb. 20 due to a thumb sprain. Josh Hart (knee) and Mitchell Robinson (ankle) have also been ruled out for Thursday's action, which should significantly increase Precious Achiuwa's playing time. Miles McBride and Landry Shamet are also expected to receive more opportunities in a favorable fantasy matchup against a team that ranks eighth in pace while holding a mediocre defensive rating.

Sean Grande of NBC Sports Bostonreports that New York Knicks guardJalen Brunson(ankle) will suit up Tuesday against the Boston Celtics. He missed a month of action after spraining his ankle during the March 6 loss to the Lakers. Fortunately, the All-Star was cleared to return for Sunday's win over the Suns, finishing with 15 points and six rebounds. It will likely take him another few games to shake off any residual rust. Despite the upside typically, Brunson may not be the safest option for DFS managers for tonight's contest.

New York Knicks guard Miles McBride (groin) is listed as probable for Tuesday's big tilt against the Boston Celtics. On Sunday against the Phoenix Suns, McBride returned to action following an eight-game absence, but he is still listed on the injury report with a groin problem. If McBride is dealt a setback ahead of Tuesday's action and can't play, Cameron Payne will pick up additional minutes off the bench. However, with Jalen Brunson (ankle) back in action, the rest of the Knicks' guards do not hold much fantasy value.

New York Knicks guard Jalen Brunson (ankle) is expected to play on Tuesday against the Celtics. He missed a month of action after spraining his ankle during the March 6 loss to the Lakers. Fortunately, the All-Star was cleared to return for Sunday's win over the Suns, finishing with 15 points and six rebounds. It will likely take him another game or two to shake off any residual rust. As such, Brunson may not be the safest option for DFS managers despite the obvious upside.

New York Knicks guard Jalen Brunson (ankle) is officially active for Sunday's matchup with the Suns. He's been sidelined for a month after tweaking his ankle during the March 6 loss to the Los Angeles Lakers. Miles McBride (groin), Cameron Payne (ankle), and most recently, Delon Wright, had been filling in. However, even though Brunson could see limited action in his first game back from the lengthy layoff, he should handle most of the minutes at the one, leaving little room for involvement from anyone else.
