Karl-Anthony Towns

NYK Power Forward #32

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Karl-Anthony Towns played 27 minutes in Saturday’s win over New Orleans, amassing 11 points (3-of-10 FGs, 3-of-3 FTs), 10 rebounds, four assists, one block, and two 3-pointers.

After putting forth a masterclass in his return to Minnesota on Thursday, Towns struggled on Saturday. Foul trouble had much to do with it, but this has rarely happened this season. Towns’ average of 3.4 fouls per game aligns with his number last season with the Timberwolves. Saturday was simply one of those days for KAT, and he still managed to provide value in the rebound and assist categories.
OG Anunoby

NYK Small Forward #8

OG Anunoby contributed 16 points (6-of-17 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), five rebounds, two assists, three steals, and two 3-pointers in 37 minutes in Saturday’s win over New Orleans.

Anunoby didn’t shoot the ball well on Saturday, but he continues to provide solid value across the board. He’s providing 3rd-round value in 9-cat formats, well ahead of his Yahoo ADP (83). The great news for fantasy managers is that Anunoby has remained relatively healthy, which has rarely been the case for most of his career. Knock on wood, he’ll avoid the extended absence that has been the norm in his career.
Mikal Bridges

NYK Small Forward #25

Mikal Bridges shot 7-of-16 from the field and 1-of-2 from the foul line in Saturday’s win over New Orleans, accumulating 18 points, three assists, two steals, and three 3-pointers in 45 minutes.

Over the past three weeks, Bridges has recently been an improved fantasy option, providing top-50 value in 8- and 9-cat formats. Free-throw percentage (69.2% over the past three weeks) remains an issue, but Bridges doesn’t have much margin for error. He’s averaging 0.9 attempts per game on the season, which means every miss can be unforgiving. New York begins a four-game Week 9 at home against the Raptors on Monday.
Josh Hart

NYK Shooting Guard #3

Josh Hart accounted for 14 points (6-of-13 FGs, 1-of-2 FTs), eight rebounds, five assists, two steals, one block, and one 3-pointer in 42 minutes in Saturday’s win over the Pelicans.

Hart was back in the lineup on Saturday after missing Thursday’s win over the Timberwolves and provided his usual production. Complete stat lines have become the norm for the Knicks wing, who remains a top-20 player in 9-cat formats. That may not hold for the entire season, but Hart’s game is exceptionally fantasy-friendly.
Jalen Brunson

NYK Point Guard #11

Jalen Brunson finished Saturday’s 104-93 win over New Orleans with 39 points (13-of-19 FGs, 6-of-6 FTs), one rebound, six assists, two steals, and seven 3-pointers in 40 minutes.

The Pelicans were very physical with Brunson defensively, and it appeared to knock him off his groove in the first half. That changed after the intermission, with the Knicks point guard going off for 29 second-half points. Brunson is providing 4th-round value in 8 and 9-cat formats for the season heading into a four-game Week 9 slate.
Josh Hart

NYK Shooting Guard #3

Josh Hart (personal reasons) is not on the injury report for Saturday’s game against the Pelicans.

Hart is back with the team after missing Thursday’s win over the Timberwolves to attend to a personal matter. His return means fewer minutes for Precious Achiuwa, who recorded a double-double on Thursday, starting alongside Karl-Anthony Towns.
Precious Achiuwa

NYK Power Forward #5

Precious Achiuwa accumulated 13 points (6-of-9 FGs), 10 rebounds, two assists, one steal, and one 3-pointer in 28 minutes in Thursday’s win over Minnesota.

Achiuwa started Thursday’s game for Josh Hart, who is away from the team for personal reasons. And he had a productive night at the office, recording his first double-double of the season. While his season-long fantasy value remains low due to his late start and place within a complete Knicks rotation, Achiuwa is worth streaming until Hart returns, especially for managers needing rebound production.
Mikal Bridges

NYK Small Forward #25

Mikal Bridges finished Thursday’s 133-107 win over Minnesota with 29 points (12-of-18 FGs, 1-of-1 FTs), six rebounds, six assists, one steal, and four 3-pointers in 36 minutes.

Bridges is getting going, much to the delight of fantasy managers. Over the past two weeks, he has provided 3rd-round per-game value in 9-cat formats and 4th-round value in 8-cat. Bridges is closing in on top-75 value for the season. While that doesn’t align with his Yahoo ADP (54), he’s trending in the right direction.
Karl-Anthony Towns

NYK Power Forward #32

Karl-Anthony Towns shot 10-of-12 from the field and 7-of-9 from the foul line in Thursday’s 133-107 win over Minnesota, scoring 32 points with 20 rebounds, six assists, two steals, and five 3-pointers in 38 minutes.

Playing against the Timberwolves in Minneapolis for the first time since being traded during the offseason, Towns was dominant on Thursday. He finished with his sixth career game with at least 30 points and 20 rebounds, and he was also the second player to put up those numbers in his first game against the team that traded him (Kareem Abdul-Jabbar). Towns has fit exceptionally well in New York, benefitting the Knicks and fantasy managers.
Precious Achiuwa

NYK Power Forward #5

Jalen Brunson, Mikal Bridges, OG Anunoby, Precious Achiuwa, and Karl-Anthony Towns will start Thursday’s game against the Timberwolves.

The Knicks are without Josh Hart, who is not with the team for personal reasons. Tom Thibodeau has decided to go with a bigger lineup, starting Achiuwa due to a need to match up with Julius Randle. Achiuwa will have deep-league streaming value in this spot, as will reserve guard Miles McBride.
