Knicks' Karl-Anthony Towns: Likely to play against Atlanta
Towns (knee) is listed as probable for Wednesday's NBA Cup Quarterfinals matchup against the Hawks.
Towns is expected to suit up in his second straight contest Wednesday despite dealing with right knee patellar tendinopathy. Towns has been scorching the nets from behind the arc this season, converting 44.7 percent of his 10.5 three-point attempts per contest.

Knicks' Josh Hart: Dealing with sprained ankle
Hart is questionable for Wednesday's NBA Cup Quarterfinals matchup against the Hawks due to a sprained left ankle.
Hart may miss his first game of the season Wednesday after playing only 32 minutes during Monday's win over Toronto, his fewest since Nov. 25. If Hart is sidelined, Miles McBride, Cameron Payne and Precious Achiuwa would be candidates for increased roles.

Knicks' OG Anunoby: Fills stat sheet once again
Anunoby had 14 points (6-14 FG, 2-9 3Pt, 0-1 FT), four rebounds, three assists, three blocks and two steals over 41 minutes during Monday's 113-108 win over the Raptors.
Even though Anunoby isn't expected to be anything more than the Knicks' third-best option on offense in most games, he remains a solid fantasy play across all formats due to his ability to fill the stat sheet on both ends of the court. The veteran forward has scored in double digits while recording at least two tallies in each of the six major categories in his last three appearances. He's averaging 18.7 points, 4.7 rebounds, 2.3 assists, 3.3 steals, 2.3 blocks and 2.3 three-pointers made per game in that span.

Knicks' Jalen Brunson: Double-doubles Monday
Brunson logged 20 points (7-13 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 2-5 FT), four rebounds and 11 assists in 35 minutes during Monday's 113-108 win over Toronto.
Brunson reached the 20-point mark for the fourth straight game and has notched double-digit dimes in his last two contests. He appears to have taken a back seat to Karl-Anthony Towns as the Knicks' go-to player on offense in recent weeks, but the star floor general is more than capable of taking over on any single game if called upon duty. Brunson is averaging 22.4 points and 7.8 assists per game since the beginning of December.

Knicks' Karl-Anthony Towns: Shines in victory Monday
Towns racked up 24 points (7-13 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 8-10 FT), 15 rebounds, six assists, two steals and two blocks across 36 minutes in Monday's 113-108 win over the Raptors.
Towns extended his double-double streak to 13 outings while stuffing the stat sheet on both ends of the floor. Moreover, the big man hit a huge three-pointer to ice the game in the final seconds. The 29-year-old returned to game action after missing Saturday's loss to Detroit due to right knee patellar tendonopathy, though he didn't miss a beat while leading the Knicks in points and rebounds against Toronto. Towns has logged three consecutive 20-plus-point outings, and in all three games he totaled at least 15 rebounds while shooting 40.0 percent from beyond the arc.

Knicks' Jalen Brunson: Cleared to return
Brunson (ankle) checked back in to Monday's game against the Raptors, James L. Edwards III of The Athletic reports.
Brunson made a quick stop to the locker room after appearing to hurt his ankle while tripping over a fan sitting courtside, but he managed to avoid a significant injury. He'll check back in with a little under seven minutes to go in the fourth quarter.

Knicks' Jalen Brunson: Walks to locker room
Brunson was spotted heading to the locker room after stepping on the foot of a fan sitting courtside during Monday's game against the Raptors, Vivek Jacob of the Raptors' official site reports.
Brunson looked to be walking without any sign of a limp on his way to the locker room at the end of the third quarter, but he made his way to the back slowly. The location and extent of his injury is unclear at this time.

Knicks' Jericho Sims: Retreats to bench Monday
Sims will come off the bench in Monday's game against the Raptors, Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca reports.
With Karl-Anthony Towns returning from a one-game absence, Sims will slide back to the bench. The big man posted one assist across only six minutes in the starting lineup during Saturday's loss to Detroit. Sims will likely play an insignificant role off the bench while competing for minutes with Precious Achiuwa.

Knicks' Karl-Anthony Towns: Gets green light Monday
Towns (knee) is available for Monday's game against Toronto, Stefan Bondy of The New York Post reports.
Towns will return to game action following a one-game absence due to right knee patellar tendonopathy. The big man should shoulder his normal workload Monday, and in his last five outings the superstar has averaged 21.6 points, 15.2 rebounds, 2.6 assists and 1.6 blocks while shooting 37.5 percent from beyond the arc in 34.8 minutes per game.

Knicks' Cameron Payne: Will play vs. Toronto
Payne (elbow) is available for Monday's game against the Raptors, Stefan Bondy of The New York Post reports.
Payne missed the Knicks' last two games due to a left elbow effusion, but he has progressed enough in his recovery to play Monday and will serve as the primary backup at point guard behind Jalen Brunson. Across his 10 outings prior to the injury, Payne averaged 9.7 points, 3.6 assists and 2.0 rebounds over 20.0 minutes per game.

Knicks' Cameron Payne: Deemed questionable for Monday
Payne (elbow) is questionable for Monday's game against Toronto, Ian Begley of SportsNet New York reports.
Payne is in danger of missing a third consecutive matchup due to a left elbow effusion. If the veteran guard is sidelined, Miles McBride and Tyler Kolek are candidates for an uptick in playing time off the bench.

Knicks' Karl-Anthony Towns: Iffy for Monday
Towns (knee) is questionable for Monday's matchup against the Raptors, Ian Begley of SportsNet New York reports.
Towns is in danger of missing his second consecutive outing due to right knee patellar tendonopathy. The star big man has been on a tear as of late, and in his last five outings he has averaged 21.6 points, 15.2 rebounds, 2.6 assists and 1.6 blocks while shooting 37.5 percent from beyond the arc across 34.8 minutes per game. If Towns is sidelined, Jericho Sims and Precious Achiuwa are candidates for an increased role.

Knicks' Pacome Dadiet: Rejoins parent club
The Knicks recalled Dadiet from the G League's Westchester Knicks on Sunday.
After posting 19 points (7-15, 2-7 3Pt) and six rebounds in 30 minutes off Westchester's bench during Sunday's 119-114 win over the Raptors 905, Dadiet will join the Knicks ahead of their matchup with Toronto on Monday. The rookie hasn't been a regular part of the rotation at the NBA level, averaging 7.0 minutes per game across 11 appearances.

Knicks' Precious Achiuwa: Double-digit boards off bench
Achiuwa logged six points (2-3 FG, 2-5 FT), 10 rebounds, four assists, one block and one steal in 28 minutes during Saturday's 120-111 loss to the Pistons.
Although it was Jericho Sims who entered the starting lineup for the injured Karl-Anthony Towns (knee), it was Achiuwa who soaked up the bulk of the minutes at center for the Knicks on Saturday. It was Achiuwa's second regular-season appearance after the 25-year-old big man missed the first 21 games of the year with a hamstring injury, so it was encouraging to see him already handle 28 minutes off the bench this soon after returning to the court. With New York still missing Mitchell Robinson (ankle) as well, Achiuwa is worth a speculative add in deep fantasy leagues while the status of Towns remains up in the air for Monday's game against the Raptors.

Knicks' Mikal Bridges: Heating up in December
Bridges produced 20 points (8-17 FG, 3-9 3Pt, 1-2 FT), three rebounds, three assists, one block and two steals in 38 minutes during Saturday's 120-111 loss to the Pistons.
It was a solid effort by Bridges, who's beginning to heat up of late following a sluggish start to the season. He's scored at least 19 points in all of his past four outings since the calendar turned to December, a span in which the 28-year-old wing is averaging 22.3 points, 4.0 assists, 3.0 rebounds, 1.3 steals and 3.5 three-pointers per game while shooting 41.2 percent from downtown. Leading the NBA in minutes per game (38.2), Bridges should remain a safe asset for fantasy managers going forward, even in a complementary role alongside Jalen Brunson in New York's starting backcourt after working as a top option on offense for the Nets a year ago. Bridges could continue to see a short-term boost in usage if Karl-Anthony Towns (knee) remains out for Monday's tilt against Toronto, a team that ranks 25th in the NBA in points allowed per game (117.4).

Knicks' Jalen Brunson: Big double-double in loss
Brunson chipped in 31 points (11-21 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 6-9 FT), four rebounds, 10 assists and one steal across 44 minutes during Saturday's 120-111 loss to the Pistons.
Brunson stepped up for the Knicks with running mate Karl-Anthony Towns (knee) sidelined Saturday, but his third 30-point, 10-assist double-double of the season wasn't enough as New York fell to the Pistons. Over his last 10 contests, Brunson is averaging 26.8 points, 8.7 assists, 0.8 steals and 3.4 three-pointers per game while shooting a sizzling 51.5 percent from beyond the arc. The superstar guard would figure to do the heavy lifting as the top option on offense if Towns is unable to return for Monday's favorable matchup against Toronto, a team that ranks 25th in the NBA in points allowed per game (117.4).
