		New York Knicks guard RJ Barrett (finger) is questionable to play against the Indiana Pacers on Wednesday. Barrett is still looking to get back on the court after dealing with his finger injury and may make his return Wednesday at home. Immanuel Quickley has been great filling in for Barrett but will likely be the odd man out if Barrett is able to play. Fantasy managers should check back closer to game time for an update on Barrett's status.
		New York Knicks guard/forward RJ Barrett (finger) will play and start Wednesday against the Indiana Pacers. Barrett is reportedly available with no minutes limit after injuring his finger on December 27th. With his return, either Quentin Grimes or Immanuel Quickley will return to the bench and see a hit in fantasy value. Given the nature of hand injuries, Barrett may take awhile to get his shot back and could see some poor shooting days ahead.

		New York Knicks guard RJ Barrett (finger) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. The 22-year-old was listed as doubtful, so there was a little hope he'd return for this game. Sadly, he'll miss his sixth game in a row as he continues to work his way back from a right index finger laceration. In his absence, Immanuel Quickley will continue playing big minutes in the rotation. He'll be a great streaming option until Barrett gets back on the court.

		New York Knicks guard RJ Barrett (finger) is listed as doubtful for Monday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. He has missed each of the last five games and has been sidelined since December 27th due to right index finger laceration. His absence has allowed Immanuel Quickley to play big minutes in the rotation. Quickly is currently providing top-75 value over the last two weeks. However, his fantasy value is going to take a hit once Barrett gets back on the court. Fantasy managers should check back on Monday. Although, it sounds like Barrett isn't quite ready to get back on the court yet.

		New York Knicks guard RJ Barrett (finger) will have to sit out another game with a laceration on his right index finger. He has missed the last four consecutive games with the same injury and will officially miss a fifth. Immanuel Quickley has entered the starting lineup and he's only rostered in 59 percent of leagues at the moment. After him, another streaming option could be either Miles McBride or Evan Fournier. Both of them have received some more playing time, but they're harder to predict since their opportunities fluctuate.

TEAM	PLAYER	TRANSACTION
		New York Knicks guard Derrick Rose (knee) will be available on a "situational" basis Wednesday against the San Antonio Spurs, according to head coach Tom Thibodeau. Essentially, Rose will only play if the guards ahead of him get into foul trouble or have to leave the game. Rose has been mostly out of the rotation and is not a recommended fantasy option.
		New York Knicks forward Obi Toppin (knee) is available to play on a "situational" basis Wednesday against the San Antonio Spurs. Toppin has not played since December 7th after suffering a fracture in his kneecap. Head coach Tom Thibodeau noted Toppin is available on a situational basis, meaning Toppin likely won't play unless there is garbage time. Toppin will need to get consistent practice time before making an impact.

Monday, January 02

TEAM	PLAYER	TRANSACTION
		New York Knicks guard RJ Barrett (finger) will officially miss his third consecutive game due to a laceration on his index finger. The fact that the team listed him out again this far in advance shows that the laceration is still pretty significant. Over the last couple of games, Immanuel Quickley and Miles McBride have entered the starting lineup since Jalen Brunson has been out as well. Quickley and McBride are solid streaming options as long as Barrett is sidelined.
		New York Knicks guard Jalen Brunson (hip) has been tagged as questionable for the team's Monday night contest against the Phoenix Suns. The 26-year-old has already missed the last three games due to the same hip issue and is in danger of missing a fourth. Immanuel Quickley has been filling in as the starting point guard and Derrick Rose has gotten some opportunities off of the bench. Miles McBride has even received some more minutes. Rose would be the only one to not be considered a streaming option if Brunson misses more time.

Saturday, December 31

TEAM	PLAYER	TRANSACTION
		New York Knicks guard Jalen Brunson (hip) is questionable for Saturday's game against the Houston Rockets. The former Mavericks star has been out since Christmas, having missed New York's previous two games. Brunson has been an excellent addition to the Knicks, averaging 20.2 points and 6.6 assists per contest. If he doesn't suit up, Immanuel Quickley could have another big performance, as he went off for 36 points in his last game against the San Antonio Spurs. Quentin Grimes and Miles McBride could also benefit from Brunson's absence.

Friday, December 30

TEAM	PLAYER	TRANSACTION
		New York Knicks small forward RJ Barrett (finger) has been ruled out for Saturday's game vs. the Rockets due to a laceration on his right index finger. Barrett's absence will mark his second in a row, paving the way for Miles McBride and Quentin Grimes to see significant minutes on the wing. Prior to injuring his finger, Barrett was averaging 23.2 PPG across 12 December contests, including shooting 42.4 percent from long range. Julius Randle should see another massive workload against a young Rockets frontcourt, with Barrett's next chance to return coming Monday against Phoenix.
		New York Knicks point guard Jalen Brunson (hip) has been deemed questionable to play in Saturday's game vs. Houston as he continues to battle a sore right hip. Brunson's absence Thursday paved the way for Immanuel Quickley to draw the start and drop a career-high 36 points; another game without Brunson would vault Quickley near the top of DFS intrigue charts. During his first season with the Knicks, Brunson's usage rate has climbed each month, as he has also shot 44.9 percent from long range during 12 December contests. Fantasy managers will want to closely monitor the Knicks' injury report ahead of tip-off Saturday.

TEAM	PLAYER	TRANSACTION
		New York Knicks guard Jalen Brunson (hip) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the San Antonio Spurs. He sat out of his first game of the season on Tuesday due to right hip soreness. Immanuel Quickley helped fill the void on Tuesday with Brunson sidelined. He struggled from the floor, but finished with 14 assists during that game. That being said, Quickley will be a strong fantasy option while Brunson is sidelined. Fantasy managers should check back on Thursday for another update on Brunson.

Tuesday, December 27

TEAM	PLAYER	TRANSACTION
		New York Knicks guard Jalen Brunson (hip) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Mavericks. The 26-year-old suffered a right hip injury during the Christmas Day loss to Philadelphia. If Brunson can't suit up against his former club, RJ Barrett and Julius Randle should do most of the heavy lifting offensively. At the same time, Miles McBride or Immanuel Quickley would likely take Brunson's spot in the starting lineup, with the latter having a much higher upside for fantasy managers.

Wednesday, December 21

TEAM	PLAYER	TRANSACTION
		New York Knicks guard/forward Quentin Grimes (ankle) is considered doubtful for Wednesday's matchup against Toronto. He is dealing with a right ankle sprain and might have to head for the shelf just when he had picked up a lot of momentum. Grimes posted 19 points in Tuesday's win against Golden State, and he's also managed a pair of 20-point outings in recent games. Miles McBride and Immanuel Quickley should share Grimes' minutes on Wednesday if he's absent.

Thursday, December 15

TEAM	PLAYER	TRANSACTION
		New York Knicks point guard Jalen Brunson (foot) will play and start Wednesday against the Chicago Bulls. Brunson suffered a contused foot in their last game and was listed as questionable coming into Wednesday's contest, but he seems to have recovered enough to give it a go. There has been no reports of a minutes restriction, but if Brunson is hobbled in any way, look for Immanuel Quickley to see a boost in fantasy value.

Wednesday, December 14

TEAM	PLAYER	TRANSACTION
		New York Knicks guard Jalen Brunson (foot) is questionable against the Chicago Bulls. The former Maverick sustained a right foot contusion during Sunday's victory over the Sacramento Kings, although he still managed to log 44 minutes of work. Nonetheless, if Brunson can't make it out there on Wednesday, Miles McBride or Immanuel Quickley may enter the starting lineup, with the latter being the better fantasy option. However, Julius Randle and RJ Barrett should carry most of the load on the offensive end if Brunson doesn't play.
		New York Knicks guard Jalen Brunson (foot) is warming up ahead of Wednesday's meeting with Chicago. Brunson suffered a right foot contusion during Sunday's win over Sacramento, although he still managed to log 44 minutes. Nonetheless, he remains questionable, so fantasy managers should wait on the official word before plugging him into the lineup. However, if Brunson can go, he is a must-start fantasy option.

Tuesday, November 29

TEAM	PLAYER	TRANSACTION
		New York Knicks guard Immanuel Quickley (knee) is officially listed as questionable for Tuesday's contest against the Detroit Pistons. The 23-year-old was forced to exit the team's last game with knee soreness, so it's no surprise that he appeared on the injury report. There were no other reports to suggest it was more serious than some soreness or pain. He seems to be more on the side of questionable which means he'll play, but fantasy managers should stay tuned for more updates right before game time in case some pain returns and the team plays it safe.

Monday, November 21

TEAM	PLAYER	TRANSACTION
		New York Knicks guard Derrick Rose (toe) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. The veteran guard exited after only eight minutes on Sunday due to soreness in his big right toe. It's the second game of a back-to-back set, so it wouldn't be surprising to see Rose sit this one out. Quentin Grimes and Immanuel Quickley could be asked to play bigger roles if Rose is forced to sit out. Grimes is an interesting streaming option if given extended playing time.
		New York Knicks forward Cam Reddish (groin) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. The young forward was forced to sit out of Sunday's game because of the same issue. Quentin Grimes filled in nicely with 10 points, five rebounds, and eight assists across 32 minutes. He's an interesting streaming option with Derrick Rose (toe) also questionable for this game. Both Grimes and Immanuel Quickley would see increased minutes if Rose or Reddish are out. Between the two, Grimes is looking like the better streaming option right now.
		New York Knicks guard Derrick Rose (toe) and forward Cam Reddish (groin) have been ruled out for Monday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. The absence of Rose will mean more playing time for Immanuel Quickley and Miles McBride. Between the two, Quickley is the better streaming option for Monday's slate. Reddish will miss his second straight game due to groin soreness. Quentin Grimes filled in nicely for Reddish during their last game. Fantasy managers looking for a streaming option on Monday should see if Grimes is available.

Sunday, November 20

TEAM	PLAYER	TRANSACTION
		New York Knicks center Mitchell Robinson (knee) is questionable in advance of Sunday's meeting with the Suns. Fortunately, the 24-year-old is trending in a favorable direction as he continues to work his way back from a right knee sprain. Isaiah Hartenstein has averaged 7.6 rebounds and 5.8 blocks in the eight games Robinson has been out, so he'd likely continue to benefit. At the same time, Jericho Sims, who had a double-double on Friday night versus Golden State, should remain involved and may have a higher upside than Hartenstein.
		New York Knicks forward Cam Reddish (groin) is listed as questionable for Sunday's contest in Phoenix. The 23-year-old has been more involved in the rotation recently, averaging 10.3 points and 1.3 steals in eight starts this season. Unfortunately, he experienced groin soreness during Friday's matchup versus the Warriors and exited after only 25 minutes of work. If Reddish doesn't get the green light, Immanuel Quickley, who had six points and six rebounds against Golden State, could move his way into the starting lineup.
		New York Knicks forward Cam Reddish (groin) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Phoenix Suns. The 23-year-old injured his groin during Friday's loss. That being said, the Knicks are going to take the cautious approach and rest Reddish. Immanuel Quickley will likely benefit the most in terms of playing time from the absence of Reddish. The expectation is that Quentin Grimes or Evan Fournier will move into the starting five. Between the two, Fournier is the better streaming option for Sunday's slate.
		New York Knicks center Mitchell Robinson (knee) is available for Sunday's game against the Phoenix Suns. The big man has been sidelined since November 4th due to a right knee sprain. His return will impact both Isaiah Hartenstein and Jericho Sims in terms of playing time. Hartenstein should still be able to make an impact off the bench, so fantasy managers shouldn't rush to drop him. However, Sims could completely fall out of the rotation, so he probably won't be worth rostering anymore. Fantasy managers should make sure to get Robinson in their lineups for Sunday.
		New York Knicks guard Quentin Grimes will move into the starting five for Sunday's game against the Phoenix Suns. The Knicks are without Cam Reddish (groin), which means Grimes will take over his spot in the starting lineup. Grimes could be worth a look as a streaming option because he's starting here. Evan Fournier will come off the bench, but Immanuel Quickley might end up benefiting the most from the loss of Reddish. Both Grimes and Quickley are possible streaming options without Reddish available.

TEAM	PLAYER	TRANSACTION
		New York Knicks center Mitchell Robinson (knee) still won't be able to return Friday versus Golden State. He's been out for seven games and was regarded as doubtful for Friday, so ultimately his absence doesn't come as a surprise. Robinson has had a disappointing start to the season after getting re-signed in the summer, and he really needs to get 100 percent healthy again to try and turn the corner. Isaiah Hartenstein has taken over the starter's job in Robinson's absence, while Jericho Sims has been able to log some nice minutes behind him as well, However, both players seem to be the epitome of inconsistency, so it would take a brave man to trust either guy in fantasy hoops.
		New York Knicks forward Cam Reddish exited Friday's 111-101 loss to Golden State with a groin injury. He was ruled out for the rest of the contest in the fourth quarter, but Reddish admitted after the game that the injury had bothered him throughout the game. Reddish piled up 11 points with two rebounds, one assist and two steals in 25 minutes before being forced to call it quits. The Knicks return to the court on Sunday versus Phoenix, so Reddish is getting some time off, but he should be regarded as questionable for the game. His absence could help Evan Fournier re-enter the rotation and Quentin Grimes might be able to get some meaningful minutes as well.

TEAM	PLAYER	TRANSACTION
		New York Knicks center Mitchell Robinson (knee) will sit out his seventh consecutive game as he still deals with the effects of a sprained knee. The last time he played was back on November 4 and it looks like he'll be waiting a little longer to make it back to the court. Both Isaiah Hartenstein and Jericho Sims will see added minutes as they've been receiving already. Trying to pick which one is a better streaming option gets tricky because they swap good games often. In deeper leagues, take a shot at either one.

Sunday, November 13

TEAM	PLAYER	TRANSACTION
		New York Knicks center Mitchell Robinson (knee) remains out on Sunday against Oklahoma City. The 24-year-old has missed four straight games with a sprained right knee. As a result, Isaiah Hartenstein may continue to take his place in the lineup. Hartenstein had only six points while filling in for Mitchell on Friday night versus Detroit. However, he had 12 rebounds and a block, so he at least has something to offer category managers.

Friday, November 11

TEAM	PLAYER	TRANSACTION
		New York Knicks center Mitchell Robinson (knee) won't play on Friday against Detroit. This will mark Robinson's fourth straight absence as he deals with a right knee sprain. He is expected to miss more games moving ahead. In the meantime, Jericho Sims, who logged 27 minutes against the Nets on Wednesday and finished with seven points, six rebounds, and three blocks, should remain involved. At the same time, Isaiah Hartenstein, who has averaged 8.1 rebounds, 7.5 points, and 1.4 blocks this season, may also get additional work.

Tuesday, November 01

TEAM	PLAYER	TRANSACTION
		New York Knicks forward Cam Reddish (illness) and guard Quentin Grimes (foot) have both been listed as questionable for Wednesday night. If Reddish is out, the wing depth will be very thin behind RJ Barrett and Evan Fournier. Grimes would be the one to take some of those minutes if he does play. In most fantasy formats, however, he is not a must-add. Grimes is going to need some time to get back into rotation and shake some rust off while on the court.

Sunday, October 30

TEAM	PLAYER	TRANSACTION
		New York Knicks guard Quentin Grimes (foot) remains out for Sunday's meeting with the Cavaliers. The 2021 first-round pick has yet to play a game this season due to a sore foot, opening the door for Cam Reddish to see more action. However, with Reddish averaging only 8.4 points this season, he's not someone fantasy managers can rely on.

Wednesday, October 26

TEAM	PLAYER	TRANSACTION
		New York Knicks forward Obi Toppin had his fourth-year option picked up by the team on Wednesday. The 24-year-old is a former eighth overall pick from the 2020 NBA draft. So far this season, he's averaged 9.3 points, 3.7 rebounds and 1.7 assists on 57.1% shooting overall and 33.3% from deep. He's been an important piece off of the bench for head coach Tom Thibodeau's team. Fantasy-wise, he's better in deeper leagues until he starts seeing closer to 20 or more minutes per game.

Friday, October 21

TEAM	PLAYER	TRANSACTION
		New York Knicks guard Quentin Grimes (foot) is officially listed as out for the game on Friday night against the Detroit Pistons. He was hopeful of playing in this game after missing the team's season opener. However, it seems as though he'll have to wait for at least one more game to get back on the court. Grimes didn't produce much last season in terms of fantasy, but his role should be increasing when he does get back to playing. Fantasy managers will just need to watch the team's updates on his injury status.

Thursday, October 20

TEAM	PLAYER	TRANSACTION
		New York Knicks guard Quentin Grimes (foot) is hopeful to make his season debut on Friday against the Detroit Pistons. The 22-year-old has been dealing with a lingering left foot issue since the beginning of training camp. He sat out of the season opener on Wednesday, but wants to get back on the court for Friday. The expectation is that Grimes would be limited even if he does suit up. He probably won't have reliable fantasy value until he gets consistent minutes in the rotation. Evan Fournier and Cam Reddish should gain playing time while Grimes is out.

Wednesday, October 19

TEAM	PLAYER	TRANSACTION
		New York Knicks guard Quentin Grimes (foot) won't play on Wednesday against the Memphis Grizzlies. The 22-year-old has been bothered by left foot soreness, an injury that could keep him out beyond the season opener. However, considering Grimes is deep down on the depth chart, his absence won't impact many fantasy managers.

Wednesday, August 31

TEAM	PLAYER	TRANSACTION
		New York Knicks forward RJ Barrett agreed to a four-year, $107 million extension with the team on Tuesday. With incentives, he could earn as much as $120 million. Last season, the 22-year-old averaged a career-high 20.0 points while adding 5.8 rebounds and 3.0 assists. Barrett's new deal is somewhat surprising, primarily since the Jazz had expressed interest in him during trade discussions surrounding superstar guard Donovan Mitchell. Although a move may still happen down the line, the extension will certainly make things challenging. Nevertheless, the 2019 No. 3 overall can be a viable fantasy option no matter where he's suiting up. However, his lack of consistency has been a burden for fantasy managers. His three-point shooting has improved, but there is also work to be done in that area as well.
