Knicks' Jordan Clarkson: Scores 10 off bench
Rotowire
Clarkson racked up 10 points (4-9 FG, 2-2 3Pt), one rebound and one assist across 15 minutes during Wednesday's 135-105 win over Chicago.
Clarkson reached double figures for the second time in his last four appearances, knocking down both of his three-point attempts in the blowout victory. The veteran guard has logged at least 11 minutes in three straight contests, but his role remains limited behind New York's established backcourt options. His scoring ability offers occasional value in deeper formats, though his lack of peripheral production limits his fantasy upside.

Knicks' Andre Drummond: Grabs nine boards in win
Rotowire
Drummond recorded six points (2-6 FG, 2-2 FT) and nine rebounds in 12 minutes during Wednesday's 135-105 victory over the Bulls.
Drummond made his presence felt on the glass despite limited playing time, collecting five offensive rebounds in just 12 minutes. However, Karl-Anthony Towns remained firmly entrenched as New York's starting center, leaving Drummond with a relatively small role. The veteran big man's rebounding ability remains valuable, but his inconsistent minutes make him difficult to trust outside deeper leagues.

Knicks' Dalton Knecht: Efficient in reserve role
Rotowire
Knecht ended Wednesday's 135-105 win over the Bulls with 10 points (4-6 FG, 2-4 3Pt), seven rebounds, one assist and one block in 16 minutes.
Knecht provided a spark off the bench, knocking down two triples while collecting seven rebounds in limited action. The second-year wing made efficient use of his opportunities, but his 16-minute workload highlights the challenges of carving out consistent production in New York's crowded rotation. He remains a situational fantasy option unless his role expands.

Knicks' Mohamed Diawara: Steps up off bench
Rotowire
Diawara ended with eight points (2-5 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 3-4 FT), six rebounds, four assists and two blocks over 21 minutes during Wednesday's 135-105 victory over the Bulls.
Diawara contributed in several categories during the comfortable win, matching his season-high workload with 21 minutes off the bench. The young forward was particularly effective as a rebounder and secondary playmaker while adding two blocks. His versatility is intriguing for deeper fantasy formats, though he'll need more consistent playing time to become a reliable option.

Knicks' Jalen Brunson: Scores 33 points with five treys
Rotowire
Brunson recorded 33 points (10-17 FG, 5-10 3Pt, 8-9 FT), two rebounds and four assists over 28 minutes in Wednesday's 135-105 win over the Bulls.
Brunson got whatever he wanted against Chicago, leading his team in points and three-pointers made while posting a remarkable plus-33 plus/minus rating. After an 0-3 start to the season, the defending champs have gone 4-1 over their past five games.
Shamet will start in Wednesday's game against the Bulls, Stefan Bondy of The New York Post reports.
With Josh Hart (knee) ruled out, Shamet will move into the starting lineup. The 2018 No. 26 overall pick started 12 regular-season games in 2025-26, averaging 8.7 points, 2.8 rebounds and 1.8 assists over 26.6 minutes per contest in those appearances.

Knicks' Josh Hart: Out with sore ankle
Rotowire
Hart is out for Wednesday's game against the Bulls due to right ankle soreness.
Hart is sitting out for the first time this season, though he doesn't seem to be battling a significant issue. With Hart sidelined, fantasy managers can expect either Landry Shamet or Miles McBride to step into the starting lineup for the Knicks on Wednesday.
Hart is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Bulls due to right ankle soreness.
Hart sounds like he's nursing a minor issue, and he could go through pregame warmups before the Knicks clarify his status. The door would open for either Landry Shamet and Miles McBride to enter the starting lineup if Hart sits out Wednesday.

Knicks' Josh Hart: Modest effort in win
Rotowire
Hart closed with eight points (3-6 FG, 2-5 3Pt), six rebounds, seven assists and three steals across 27 minutes before fouling out of Monday's 103-90 victory over the Nets.
Hart made his presence felt despite another quiet scoring performance, leading New York in assists while tying for the team lead in steals. He also posted a game-best plus-22 rating as the Knicks pulled away in the fourth quarter. Hart's ability to contribute rebounds, assists and defensive stats helps maintain his fantasy value even when his scoring opportunities are limited.
Alvarado ended Monday's 103-90 victory over Brooklyn with zero points (0-1 FG, 0-1 3Pt) and one block across nine minutes.
Alvarado returned to action after missing four straight games due to an ankle injury, but he didn't make much of a statistical impact in limited action. The backup guard can be a spark plug on any night, but his production is sporadic, making him a better real-world player than a fantasy option.
Shamet notched 22 points (6-8 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 6-6 FT), a rebound and an assist across 30 minutes in Monday's 103-90 win over the Nets.
Shamet delivered his best scoring performance of the season, leading New York with 22 points while converting four three-pointers and all six free-throw attempts. His 30-minute workload off the bench was encouraging, particularly with the Knicks relying on his perimeter shooting off the bench, and he seems to have a steady role as one of the main backups in the backcourt. However, his limited contributions outside scoring make him a specialized fantasy option whose value depends heavily on shooting efficiency and playing time.
Towns finished with 11 points (4-11 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 2-3 FT), 16 rebounds and five assists across 35 minutes in Monday's 103-90 win over the Nets.
Towns struggled offensively, failing to score in the first half before finishing with 11 points. However, his 16 rebounds and five assists helped compensate for the disappointing scoring output. Towns continues to provide substantial fantasy value through rebounding and playmaking, and his scoring has been solid for the most part. While this 11-point performance was a season-low mark, he had scored at least 19 points in each of his previous six showings.

Knicks' OG Anunoby: Scores 18 points in comeback win
Rotowire
Anunoby delivered 18 points (4-10 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 7-8 FT), four rebounds, two assists, two steals and a block across 38 minutes in Monday's 103-90 win over the Nets.
Anunoby played a pivotal role in New York's fourth-quarter comeback, connecting on consecutive three-pointers early in the period to erase Brooklyn's lead. His three combined defensive stats also strengthened his fantasy production, while the 38-minute workload reinforced his importance to the rotation. Anunoby's combination of perimeter shooting and defensive contributions provides a dependable fantasy foundation, and his scoring numbers have been very good -- he has notched at least 18 points in four of his last six appearances.
Brunson collected 19 points (6-16 FG, 4-11 3Pt, 3-6 FT), two rebounds and six assists in 34 minutes during Monday's 103-90 win over Brooklyn.
Brunson was held under 20 points for just the second time in seven games this season, but it was enough to help his team secure the victory. He's been particularly aggressive from deep lately, where he's gone 13-for-31 over his last three games. Brunson will draw another favorable matchup Wednesday against the Bulls.
