New York Knicks guard Cameron Payne (ankle) is questionable for Saturday's meeting with the Hawks. Payne had been filling in at the one spot in place of Jalen Brunson (ankle) and Miles McBride (pelvis). Unfortunately, he sprained his ankle in the March 26 matchup with the Los Angeles Clippers and has missed the last four games. Brunson has a chance to suit up on Saturday after missing nearly a month. Yet, if Brunson remains on the shelf and Payne can play, the latter would be worth considering for fantasy purposes, especially if he starts over Delon Wright.


Atlanta Hawks guard Trae Young (Achilles) will play on Saturday versus the visiting Knicks. Despite routinely appearing on the injury report throughout the season because of right Achilles Tendinitis, the former Oklahoma Sooner has only missed five games. He's had another quality year, averaging 24.1 points and 11.6 assists. Yet, Young has been even more productive on the scoring end in his four meetings with New York during the 2024-25 campaign, averaging 27.5 points while shooting 37.5% from behind the arc.


Detroit Pistons forward Tobias Harris (heel) is questionable for Saturday's game against Memphis. The veteran has been bothered by heel soreness, most recently keeping him off the floor for Friday's win over the Toronto Raptors. Detroit is heading to the playoffs, so it's possible Harris gets a few more games off in order to be ready. Fortunately, Cade Cunningham (calf) is probable, which will help lessen the blow. But if Harris remains out, Ausar Thompson and Malik Beasley, combining for 36 points versus the Raptors, should continue to receive more work, with one of them expected to stay in the starting lineup.


Detroit Pistons guard Cade Cunningham (calf) is probable heading into Saturday's matchup with the Grizzlies. He's missed the last six games because of a calf contusion. As a result, Dennis Schroder has been filling in at the one, most recently amassing 16 points, seven assists, and one steal in Friday's 117-105 win over the Toronto Raptors. Schroder will likely head back to the bench, assuming Cunningham is officially cleared to suit up, decreasing his fantasy potential. Cunningham's presence should also lead to fewer scoring opportunities for Tim Hardaway Jr. and Malik Beasley, with Marcus Sasser in danger of falling out of the rotation altogether.


New York Knicks center Mitchell Robinson (ankle) won't play on Saturday against the Hawks. The Knicks will play the Suns on Sunday. As a result, he's expected to return for the second game of back-to-back outings. Karl-Anthony Towns will remain in the middle, as expected. However, Robinson's absence should mean Precious Achiuwa will see at least 20 minutes of action, with the former Raptor amassing 13 points, six rebounds, two blocks, and one steal in Wednesday's loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers.
