Fantasy Impact: Arcidiacono is signing a new deal with the Knicks after spending much of the season in New York last year. He wasn't a big contributor on the team, averaging just 1.3 points per game and 1.2 assists in limited action. He could carve out a bigger role for himself this year, but to start, he isn't worth considering in any fantasy formats.

Fantasy Impact: Toppin will get a fresh start in Indiana after seeing limited minutes with the Knicks behind Julius Randle. He should see a lot more opportunity with the Pacers.

Free agent Derrick Rose has agreed to a deal with the Memphis Grizzlies. (Source: Shams Charania on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: It is expected to be a multi-year deal for Rose. He found himself out of the Knicks rotation for most of last season, but he still remained a great influence in the locker room. Rose should find himself in the Grizzlies rotation, especially early in the season while Ja Morant is suspended where he should see minutes at point guard behind Marcus Smart.

Josh Hart has exercised his $12.4 million player option to stay with the Knicks for 2023-24. (Source: Shams Charania via Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Hart was the spark the Knicks needed in the second half of the 2022-23 season. He also contributed meaningful minutes in the playoffs, further cementing himself in New York. In an uncertain free agent market with the new CBA coming, it’s a wise move for Hart.

Fantasy Impact: Randle missed the Knicks loss in Game 1, but will look to aid New Yorks quest to tie things up in Game 2. He could have a lighter workload given he’s been managing an injury, but expect him to be one of the more productive Knicks players.

Fantasy Impact: Brunson was a game time decision coming in, but he will be active for the Knicks as they try to even up the series against Miami. Expect him to carry his regular workload.

RJ Barrett (illness) is questionable for Friday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans. (Source: NBA Injury Report)

Fantasy Impact: Barrett is recovering from an illness of some kind that has forced him to miss the last couple of games. He's questionable for Friday and seems to have a decent chance to make his return to New York's lineup. Obi Toppin will continue to get more work for the Knicks if Barrett is unable to play against New Orleans.

Mitchell Robinson notched a double-double for the Knicks Friday night, grabbing 14 rebounds and scoring 10 points (4-5 FG, 2-3 FT) while also recording two steals, dishing out one assist, and blocking two shots in a 130-116 win over the Cavaliers.

Fantasy Impact: Robinson has offered strong rebounding output of late for the Knicks, grabbing at least six rebounds in each of his last five games. The 25-year-old has been a mostly steady option for fantasy owners in need of rebounding despite inconsistent scoring output for much of the season, averaging 7.2 points and 9.1 rebounds per game while posting an abysmal 9.7% usage rate so far this season.

Quentin Grimes filled the stat sheet for the Knicks Wednesday night, dishing out four assists, recording one steal, grabbing eight rebounds, and scoring 23 points (8-14 FG, 5-10 3PT, 2-3 FT) in a 101-92 win over the Heat.

Fantasy Impact: Grimes has been solid on both ends of the floor of late for the Knicks, dishing out at least two assists, grabbing at least two rebounds, and scoring at least 14 points in four of his last five games. The 22-year-old guard has offered a steady option with a mostly safe floor for fantasy owners, averaging 10.4 points, 2.0 assists, and 3.3 rebounds per game to go along with a usage rate of 13.9% so far this season.

Immanuel Quickley led the Knicks offense Wednesday night, scoring 24 points (8-14 FG, 2-5 3PT, 6-11 FT) while also dishing out four assists, recording three steals, and grabbing one rebound in a 101-92 win over the Heat.

Fantasy Impact: Quickley has been dynamic on the offensive end of the floor of late for the Knicks, scoring at least 19 points in four of his last five games for the club. The 23-year-old guard continues to produce whether starting or as a reserve for the Knicks, averaging 14.2 points, 3.3 assists, and 4.0 rebounds per game to go along with a 19.7% usage rate so far this season.

Isaiah Hartenstein (ankle) will play in Saturday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. (Source: NBA Injury Report)

Fantasy Impact: Hartenstein was initially on New York's injury report because of ankle soreness, but it's not considered serious and he has been upgraded to active for Saturday's game. He shouldn't have his minutes limited, but he still only projects to be a streaming option for fantasy purposes at best against the Clippers.

The New York Knicks have traded Cam Reddish and a protected future first-round pick to the Portland Trail Blazers in exchange for Josh Hart. (Source: Adrian Wojnarowski on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Reddish had shown flashes in his time with the Knicks, but he has mostly been out of the rotation this season. With Hart having started for Portland, Reddish should step into a pretty big role for the Blazers where his value could be restored for fantasy managers. Reddish becomes an intriguing player to stash.

Evan Fournier (personal) is unavailable for Thursday's contest against the Boston Celtics. (Source: NBA Injury Report)

Fantasy Impact: Fournier will miss Thursday's game because of a personal issue of some kind. It's unclear when he will be back, and he could miss more time beyond this game. Quentin Grimes is set to get more work while the veteran is out against the Celtics.
