New York Knicks DVOA, Stats, & NBA Rankings

New York Knicks forward OG Anunoby (elbow) is officially active for Tuesday's meeting with Philadelphia. Head coach Tom Thibodeau indicated the former Raptor would be available if things went well in warm-ups, so the update isn't much of a surprise. Anunoby will also get the start, so he should be added to all fantasy lineups. However, he could see limited work in his first game in over a month, so Precious Achiuwa and Bojan Bogdanovic will remain viable fantasy assets in all formats.

New York Knicks forward OG Anunoby (elbow) will play on Tuesday against the 76ers, barring a setback during warmups. The Knicks desperately need him, with the team losing 10 of their 18 games while he's been out of the lineup because of an elbow injury. While the 26-year-old makes most of his presence known defensively whenever he's on the floor, averaging 1.8 steals in 14 games in New York, he also has averaged 15.6 points. Nonetheless, Anunoby might be limited in his first game back. However, he should see enough action to lower the fantasy ceiling of Josh Hart.

New York Knicks forward OG Anunoby (elbow) is questionable for Tuesday's meeting with the 76ers. He hasn't played in over a month because of elbow surgery. But the former Raptor has recently ramped things up at practice and is labeled as day-to-day. That said, there's still a good chance Anunoby won't be available versus Philadelphia. If that's the case, fantasy managers could see the 26-year-old back in the lineup when the Knicks begin a four-game road trip on Thursday in Portland. Unfortunately, it could take Anunoby some time to get his legs back under him, meaning his fantasy potential could be capped for at least a few games once he's cleared.

Washington Wizards guard Landry Shamet (calf) has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's game against the Miami Heat. Shamet was forced to miss Friday's game due to the same issue. He was only able to play seven minutes off the bench before exiting due to left calf soreness. There's a decent chance he does miss some time, but fantasy managers will have to check back for another update. Johnny Davis figures to see an expanded role if Shamet does miss time.

Philadelphia 76ers point guard Cameron Payne will join the starting unit for Sunday's contest against the Knicks, replacing Buddy Hield. The veteran is getting his third start in four games after previously filling in for Kyle Lowry and Nicolas Batum. He starts on the backcourt alongside Lowry this time, with Hield set to lead the second unit. Together with his time in Milwaukee, Payne has made five starts across the season, amassing a respectable 14.4 points, 3.0 rebounds, 3.6 assists, and 1.2 steals in the role. Hield began the campaign as a bench piece in Indiana, so the role isn't anything new for him, and he should still get plenty of action off the pine.
