New York Knicks DVOA, Stats, & NBA Rankings

New York Knicks forward OG Anunoby (elbow) has been ruled out against the Charlotte Hornets on Monday due to right elbow inflammation. This will be the 26-year-old's first missed game as a member of the Knicks for something other than traveling to join the team when he was first traded. Anunoby has been a tremendous addition as the team has gone 12-2 since he's stepped on the court with them. In that span, he's averaged 15.6 points, 4.6 rebounds, 1.5 assists, 1.8 steals, 1.1 blocks, and 1.4 turnovers per game. While he's out, Donte DiVincenzo and Josh Hart will likely see the biggest increase in usage. Precious Achiuwa is also set to start since Julius Randle (shoulder) is out of the lineup. All of whom can be solid streaming options.

Minnesota Timberwolves big man Karl-Anthony Towns put up another strong performance on Thursday, with 27 points and 10 rebounds in the team's 96-94 road win over the Brooklyn Nets. The 28-year-old has been on a hot scoring stretch lately, scoring at least 27 points in three straight games, including his 62-point outburst on Monday. Towns is averaging 22.7 points and 8.8 rebounds in 33 minutes per game this year, and he'll look to continue his scoring streak on Saturday in San Antonio.

New York Knicks forward OG Anunoby led the team in scoring on Thursday, putting up 26 points along with six steals in the team's 122-84 blowout win over the Denver Nuggets. This was just the second time in 13 games with the Knicks that Anunoby scored at least 20 points and the fourth time he made three or more three-pointers. The Knicks' defense was already one of the NBA's best this season, and adding an elite wing defender like Anunoby has only made them scarier on that end. He'll look to continue his strong play on Saturday against the Heat.

New York Knicks guard Josh Hart (knee) is questionable ahead of Saturday's matchup with the Raptors. He wasn't available for Thursday's narrow win over the Washington Wizards because of a left knee injury. However, each of the Knicks' starters logged at least 38 minutes, with Quentin Grimes absorbing 19 minutes from off the bench. If Hart misses his second consecutive contest, expect head coach Tom Thibodeau to continue to give his starting lineup plenty of minutes, meaning anyone on the bench could have a tough time doing anything relevant for fantasy managers.

Brooklyn Nets guard Mikal Bridges (shin) is available for Friday's meeting with the Lakers. He was listed as probable because of a right shin contusion. However, it will take more than that to keep the league's most durable player out of the lineup. The 2018 No. 10 overall pick is averaging 21.4 points this season, nearly five less than the 2022-23 campaign. However, Bridges should remain starting in every fantasy format imaginable, considering he's starting to pick things up in all statistical categories.
