Mitchell Robinson scored eight points (3-3 FG, 2-4 FT) to go along with two rebounds and two blocks in the Knicks 145-101 win over the Raptors.
Fantasy Impact: Robinson was eased back into action as expected in his first game back since December. This should continue as New York aims to get him fully healthy for the playoffs.

Precious Achiuwa scored 19 points (8-13 FG, 0-1 3PT, 3-3 FT) to go along with 12 rebounds, three assists, one steal and two blocks in the Knicks 145-101 win over the Raptors.
Fantasy Impact: Achiuwa was able to fill the stat line in 27 minutes off the bench. It was his first double-double since March 8 as he hasn't had quite the same role as of late playing with the second unit. His fantasy upside remains limited in his reserve role.

Miles McBride scored 29 points (10-17 FG, 9-14 3PT) to go along with three rebounds, seven assists and one steal in the Knicks 145-101 win over the Raptors.
Fantasy Impact: McBride exploded for six shots made from deep in the first quarter alone. He wound up tying his career-high in points as he was a bit quiet the rest of the night in a blowout win for New York. He should continue to add to his fantasy value down the stretch for as long as he remains in this starting role.

Fantasy Impact: Burks was also sidelined on Monday. His absence if he remains sidelined does not impact the Knicks rotation from a fantasy perspective.

Donte DiVincenzo scored 40 points (14-23 FG, 11-20 3PT, 1-3 FT) to go along with five rebounds, two assists, two steals and one block in the Knicks 124-99 win over the Pistons.
Fantasy Impact: DiVincenzo set career-highs in points and three-point shots made for a single game. He should continue to play a huge role on the offensive end for New York down the final stretch of the regular season.

Josh Hart scored 11 points (4-10 FG, 1-3 3PT, 2-2 FT) to go along with 14 rebounds, 10 assists and one steal in the Knicks 124-99 win over the Pistons.
Fantasy Impact: Hart recorded his fourth triple-double of March, while getting back in double digits as a scorer after scoring eight points in his previous two games combined. He continues to play heavy minutes on a nightly basis for New York.

Jalen Brunson scored 28 points (10-20 FG, 3-7 3PT, 5-5 FT) to go along with two rebounds and six assists in the Knicks 124-99 win over the Pistons.
Fantasy Impact: It was a nice bounce back for Brunson after struggling from the field on Saturday against the Nets. The Knicks are right behind the No. 3 seed in the East as we near the end of the regular season.

Isaiah Hartenstein filled the stat sheet for the Knicks Saturday, grabbing nine rebounds, blocking two shots, dishing out two assists, recording four steals, and scoring 17 points (8-10 FG, 1-2 FT) in a 105-93 win over the Nets.
Fantasy Impact: Hartenstein continues a modest stretch on both ends of the floor of late, finishing with at least seven points and eight rebounds in each of his last five games for the Knicks. The 25-year-old big man has made the most of his opportunity replacing the injured Mitchell Robinson in the New York starting five, averaging 7.3 points and 8.5 rebounds per game to go along with an 11.0% usage rate so far this season.

Fantasy Impact: Thibodeau says Randle is doing basically everything else, including controlled contact. When asked about it, Thibodeau said there is no timetable for Randle to be cleared for full contact. He has been sidelined since the end of January.

Bojan Bogdanovic scored 19 points (6-18 FG, 4-11 3PT, 3-3 FT) to go along with three rebounds in the Knicks 116-100 loss against the Hawks.
Fantasy Impact: Despite coming off the bench, Bogdanovic still played 31 minutes. It wasn't his most efficient performance, but he'll continue to be relied on more as a scorer for as long as Jalen Brunson remains sidelined.

Jericho Sims (illness) is active for Monday's game against the Houston Rockets. (Source: Fred Katz on Twitter)
Fantasy Impact: The Knicks haven't had Sims for three-straight games thanks to an illness that he was dealing with, but he has recovered and will be available to play on Monday. He's primed to get a lot of work with Isaiah Hartenstein (Achilles) still out of the lineup against the Rockets.

Taj Gibson will see a spot start on Saturday against the Pacers. (Source: Ian Begley on Twitter)
Fantasy Impact: The Knicks rotation remains short-handed with Isaiah Hartenstein (Achilles) and Jericho Sims (illness) ruled out. Despite starting, the fantasy upside for Gibson remains limited.

Fantasy Impact: Arcidiacono will have the chance to sign with a new team, but he'll remain off the fantasy radar.

The Knicks are trading Quentin Grimes, Malachi Flynn, Evan Fournier, Ryan Arcidiacono and two second-round picks to the Pistons in exchange for Bojan Bogdanovic and Alec Burks. (Source: Adrian Wojnarowski on Twitter)
Fantasy Impact: Fournier has been completely out of the rotation for the Knicks for most of the season. Once a sharpshooter with the Magic, he could enter the rotation more in Detroit but he likely remains off the fantasy radar nonetheless.

Fantasy Impact: Flynn was recently traded to the Knicks in the trade that sent RJ Barrett and Immanuel Quickley to the Raptors. He saw limited minutes in his short time with the Knicks, and likely remains off the fantasy radar with Detroit.

The Knicks are sending Quentin Grimes and two future second-round picks to the Pistons in exchange for Alec Burks. (Source: Adrian Wojnarowski on Twitter)
Fantasy Impact: Grimes had some solid scoring games for the Knicks this season. He joins a more crowded back court in Detroit when fully healthy and will likely remain off the fantasy radar.
