Ariel Hukporti scored eight points (2-4 FG, 4-4 FT) to go with 16 rebounds, four assists, and four blocks in Friday's loss to the Hawks.

Fantasy Impact

With Karl-Anthony Towns (illness) out of action, Hukporti got a chance to play significant minutes as a starter Friday night and took advantage of the opportunity. The second-year big set new career highs in rebounds and blocks, possibly earning himself a little more playing time going forward.

Ariel Hukporti is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the San Antonio Spurs.

Fantasy Impact

Hukporti suffered a lip laceration in Monday’s game against the New Orleans Pelicans, which could keep him sidelined on Wednesday. If he is ultimately ruled out, Guerschon Yabusele and Mohamed Diawara should see increased minutes, with Mitchell Robinson (injury management) already ruled out.

Ariel Hukporti did not return to Monday's game against the Pelicaans.

Fantasy Impact

Hukporti took a forearm to his mouth from Zion Williamson in the first half. His absence would not impact the Knicks rotation for fantasy managers.
