New York Knicks DVOA, Stats, & NBA Rankings

Brooklyn Nets guard Jalen Brunson (ankle) won't play on Sunday versus the Nets. The Knicks will enter the playoffs as the No. 3 seed in the Eastern Conference. As expected, the team will give Brunson the day off to rest after appearing in consecutive contests on Thursday and Friday. Without him, Miles McBride, averaging 13.7 points, 1.1 steals, and 43.6% shooting from behind the arc in nine starts this season, should see a bump in DFS production, especially with Karl-Anthony Towns (knee), OG Anunoby (thumb), and Josh Hart (knee) also ruled out.

New York Knicks center Karl-Anthony Towns (knee) won't play on Sunday against Brooklyn. He was listed as questionable. However, not many expected to see KAT on the floor. Jalen Brunson (ankle), Josh Hart (knee), and OG Anunoby (thumb) also won't suit up, meaning DFS managers could see increased production from Precious Achiuwa, Landry Shamet, Cameron Payne, and Miles McBride.

Kristian Winfield of the New York Daily Newsreports that guardJalen Brunson(ankle) is available for Friday's matchup with the Cleveland Cavaliers.OG Anunoby(thumb) and Josh Hart(knee) are also in, whileKarl-Anthony Towns(knee) is out. One thing to consider for fantasy managers is that Brunson sits at 64 games played right now, so he only needs one more game to qualify for regular season awards and All-NBA teams. He's averaged 19.0 points, 7.0 assists and 1.7 rebounds in 33.7 minutes across three outings after a 15-game absence due to an ankle injury.

New York Knicks forwards OG Anunoby (thumb) and Josh Hart (knee) will play on Friday against the Cavaliers. Anunoby and Hart weren't available for Thursday's loss to the Detroit Pistons. As a result, Miles McBride and Precious Achiuwa moved into the starting lineup, with the duo combining for 30 points, 12 boards, nine assists, six steals, and three blocks. While the absence of Karl-Anthony Towns (knee) should keep them involved, they aren't expected to be nearly as productive for DFS managers.

New York Knicks center Karl-Anthony Towns (knee) won't play on Friday against Cleveland. KAT had 25 points, 10 boards, five assists, and one steal in Thursday's loss to the Pistons. He also had seven turnovers. However, as some expected, Towns will get the night off. Mitchell Robinson, who had 14 points and 14 rebounds while filling in for Towns in the April 1 win over the 76ers, will move into the starting lineup.
