Oklahoma City Thunder

Oklahoma City Thunder guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (illness) is in danger of missing his second game of the campaign on Wednesday against Denver. The Thunder star is considered questionable with an illness. Josh Giddey is set to run the offense without Gilgeous-Alexander, while a number of bench players could contribute. The Thunder have multiple starters with questionable tags, and Jalen Williams (ankle) has been ruled out, along with Isaiah Joe (sternum).

New York Knicks center Isaiah Hartenstein is still playing on a minutes restriction. Hartenstein said after Monday's blowout win over the Charlotte Hornets that he had a 25-minute limit, but he felt good after the game. The 25-year-old big man has been restricted to 16 minutes in each of his last two contests since returning from a two-game absence with left Achilles tendinopathy. The Knicks re-added Taj Gibson on a 10-day contract on Tuesday for frontcourt depth in the aftermath of Julius Randle's (shoulder) injury.

New York Knicks forward/center Isaiah Hartenstein (Achilles) is questionable for Saturday's game versus the Miami Heat. The former Clipper is battling left Achilles Tendinopathy, an injury that's kept him out of the lineup for the Knicks' previous two contests. Head coach Tom Thibodeau stated Thursday night that Hartenstein felt "a lot better." However, he remains in danger of missing his third consecutive game. If Hartenstein can't suit up, Jericho Sims, who's been taking Hartenstein's spot in the lineup, will likely remain with the first five. Unfortunately, Sims isn't a reliable fantasy option on the scoring end, although he's proficient on the glass. The same can be said for Precious Achiuwa.

New York Knicks center Isaiah Hartenstein (Achilles) is out for Thursday's game against the Denver Nuggets. Hartenstein will miss a second straight game due to left Achilles tendinopathy, and he'll try to return for the red-hot Knicks on Saturday against the Miami Heat. Jericho Sims is set up for another start in Hartenstein's stead on Thursday, blocking four shots in 27 minutes during Tuesday's win over the Brooklyn Nets. Precious Achiuwa is also in line for an uptick in playing time from New York's second unit against Denver.

New York Knicks center Isaiah Hartenstein (Achilles) is questionable for Thursday's game against Denver. He couldn't play Tuesday versus Brooklyn due to a left Achilles issue and hasn't yet fully shaken off the injury. Jericho Sims produced a strong defensive performance with four blocks as a fill-in starter against the Nets. He'll likely receive his seventh start of the campaign on Thursday if Hartenstein doesn't return. Precious Achiuwa, who had six points and nine rebounds Tuesday, should also get healthy minutes off the bench in a difficult matchup against Nikola Jokic.
