Neither Dallas nor a fourth-quarter bloody nose could stop Anunoby, whose 35 points were the most he’s scored in a game since dropping 40 on the Nuggets in late November. Over the past two weeks, the Knicks wing has been a top-20 player in nine-cat formats, pushing his season-long value into the top 75. Anunoby has scored at least 23 points in three straight and six of his last eight appearances while averaging 2.0 steals and 1.1 blocks during this run.

Both Curry and Green will be back in the starting lineup after missing Sunday’s game against New Orleans. DaQuan Jeffries will be pushed back to playing a reserve role, while Josh Okogie, who started in place of Green on Sunday, is out with a hamstring injury.

Ball will miss yet another game with a wrist injury that’s kept him out since February 28. Kevin Huerter figures to continue to have a bigger role with the 27-year-old point guard sidelined.

Bogdanovic is available after being listed as questionable with a knee injury. The 32-year-old shooting guard could squeeze Kris Dunn and Derrick Jones Jr. for minutes in the rotation with Kawhi Leonard also back in the lineup.

Tucker was given a second 10-day contract by the Knicks almost two weeks ago, but he’s now set to be with the team through the rest of this season and the playoffs. The contract includes a team option for the 2025-26 season. Tucker isn’t fantasy-relevant at this point in his career, but his style of play fits in with the Knicks franchise, which has consistently been predicated on grit and toughness.

Green missed Sunday’s game against the Pelicans but will be back in the lineup to take on Utah. Josh Okogie started in place of Green but will miss the second leg of Charlotte’s back-to-back, which means Green will simply return to his normal spot in the starting unit.

Mitchell is said to be dealing with a stomach ailment that arose Monday afternoon. In his absence, Terry Rozier, Jaime Jaquez Jr. and Haywood Highsmith are all candidates to pick up more minutes against the Wizards.

Curry is back after missing Sunday’s game against the Pelicans with a knee injury. Nick Smith Jr. and DaQuan Jeffries will likely see fewer minutes with the 34-year-old point guard back on the court Monday.

Burks has been cleared for Monday’s game despite dealing with lower back discomfort. The 33-year-old shooting guard is expected to start given the Heat’s other injuries and is worth streaming in deeper formats.

Toppin signed a two-way deal with Atlanta on March 4 but has yet to appear in an NBA game for them. This calf injury only guarantees that his debut for the Hawks will continue to be delayed for another game.
