Josh Hart scored 10 points (5-18 FG, 0-6 3PT) to go along with 11 rebounds, 11 assists and one steal in the Knicks 119-112 win over the Warriors.
Fantasy Impact: With the Knicks rotation more short-handed than it already was, Hart did not sit a single second in Monday's win. He struggled with his shot, but made up for it in other areas including his fifth triple-double on the season.

Miles McBride scored 29 points (9-13 FG, 6-9 3PT, 5-6 FT) to go along with one rebound, two assists and one steal in the Knicks 119-112 win over the Warriors.
Fantasy Impact: McBride re-joined the starting lineup for New York with OG Anunoby sidelined, and recorded a career-high in points. He played 47 minutes, defending Steph Curry when he was on the court while also posting a super efficient scoring performance. He'll remain a worthy streamer as long as he remains in the starting lineup.

Jalen Brunson scored 34 points (12-25 FG, 3-9 3PT, 7-8 FT) to go along with five rebounds, seven assists and one steal in the Knicks 119-112 win over the Warriors.
Fantasy Impact: Brunson helped lead New York to a huge road win over Golden State. It was his third straight game scoring at least 34 points. He remains the top producer for a Knicks rotation that remains banged up.

Fantasy Impact: Anunoby is continuing to work his way through an elbow injury he is working his way back from. If he misses a game, Precious Achiuwa would likely return to the starting lineup.

Isaiah Hartenstein filled the stat sheet for the Knicks Saturday night, dishing out three assists, recording one steal, grabbing 14 rebounds, blocking four shots, and chipping in seven points (3-3 FG, 1-1 FT) in a 98-91 win over the Kings.
Fantasy Impact: Hartenstein continues a modest stretch on both ends of the floor of late, finishing with at least two assists, five rebounds, and three points in each of his last five games for the Knicks. The 25-year-old continues to make the most of his time on the floor despite limited touches on the offensive end of the floor, averaging 6.9 points and 8.4 rebounds per game to go along with a usage rate of just 10.5% so far this season.

Donte DiVincenzo scored 12 points (4-12 FG, 2-8 3P, 2-2 FT) with five rebounds, three assists, and two steals in the Knicks 105-93 win over the Blazers on Thursday.
Fantasy Impact: DiVincenzo had a quiet night much like the rest of his team save for Jalen Brunson, who put up a ridiculous 45 points. Donte's been good in his starting role for the Knicks this season, and despite his shooting struggles, the should get back on track sooner than later.

Knicks coach Tom Thibodeau said Mitchell Robinson is making ‘good, steady progress’ and should be cleared for contact soon. (Source: Ian Begley on Twitter)
Fantasy Impact: Robinson has been sidelined since December when he underwent surgery on his ankle. He is unlikely to return for the regular season at this point, but he could be back for the playoffs. Isaiah Hartenstein should remain the starter at center for the Knicks in the meantime.

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.

Precious Achiuwa scored 15 points (7-8 FG, 1-1 FT) to go along with six rebounds, two assists, one steal and one block in the Knicks 116-100 loss against the Hawks.
Fantasy Impact: After playing no less than 34 minutes in almost every game of February, Achiuwa has now played no more than 26 minutes in his last three games. He continues to start for New York, but his fantasy upside is a bit more limited if he isn't seeing minutes in the 35-40 range.

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.

Alec Burks scored 22 points (7-14 FG, 4-7 3PT, 4-4 FT) to go along with two rebounds and one assist in the Knicks 125-111 loss against the Pacers.
Fantasy Impact: Burks scored nearly a point per minute in his first game back in New York with the Knicks. He should continue to hold value in deeper leagues, likely playing over 20 minutes per game off the bench for a short-handed Knicks rotation.

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.

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.

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.
