New York Knicks Roster
- Eastern Atlantic
- Stadium
- Madison Square Garden
New York Knicks forward Josh Hart (abdomen) was available for Sunday's pivotal meeting with the Pacers after suffering an abdominal strain on Friday night. However, while Hart should be recognized for his willingness to play through the ailment, he struggled to a degree, ending the afternoon with 10 points and shooting 3-for-9 from the field and 0-for-4 from deep. Hart did add eight rebounds, five assists, and two steals. Yet, it was apparent he wasn't fully healthy. With the Knicks eliminated from the playoffs, Hart will get some rest and prepare for the 2024-25 campaign. He appeared in 81 games for New York during the regular season, and although he isn't the most consistent on the offensive end, he'll see plenty of interest from fantasy managers.
New York Knicks guard Donte DiVincenzo scored a game-high 39 points in Sunday's loss to Indiana. He added four rebounds, two steals, and one assist. With OG Anunoby (hamstring) and Josh Hart (abdomen) plagued by injury, DiVincenzo stepped up in a big way, going 11-for-21 from the field and 9-for-15 from deep. However, it wasn't enough, with the Knicks failing to advance to the Eastern Conference Finals. Nonetheless, the 27-year-old is coming off his best season, averaging a career-high 15.5 points with 3.7 rebounds and 2.7 assists. He also appeared in 81 games after logging 72 in Golden State last season. With that said, DiVincenzo's durability and increased production should spark the interest of fantasy managers heading into the 2024-25 campaign.
New York Knicks forward OG Anunoby (hamstring) was available for Sunday's matchup against the Pacers. He had been out since suffering a hamstring strain in Game 2. Unfortunately, Anunoby clearly wasn't ready to return, with the former Raptor logging only five minutes before calling it an afternoon. At any rate, the Knicks are now eliminated from the postseason. However, Anunoby made a difference for the Knicks after being acquired from Toronto ahead of the trade deadline, averaging 14.1 points, 4.4 rebounds, and 1.7 steals in 23 games with New York. Yet, the 26-year-old dealt with several injuries near the end of the 2023-24 campaign and into the playoffs, which isn't uncommon. With that said, Anunoby has plenty of talent, but fantasy managers won't trust him fully on their rosters until he proves he can stay healthy.
New York Knicks guard Jalen Brunson (hand) finished with 17 points and nine assists in Sunday's loss to the Pacers. It wasn't Brunson's afternoon, with the former Villanova Wildcat going 6-for-17 from the field. Even worse, he suffered a fractured left hand in the fourth quarter and didn't return. The Knicks are now officially eliminated from the postseason. But Brunson had a fantastic season, playoffs included, and did all he could to try to get his team to the Eastern Conference Finals. Barring a setback, he should be ready to go to begin the 2024-25 campaign. The 27-year-old should also be a top-10 fantasy option in every format.
New York Knicks forward Josh Hart (hamstring) will play on Sunday against the Pacers. Hart has averaged a double-double throughout the series. He tweaked an abdominal muscle during Friday's loss, although it will take more than that to keep him off the floor for the pivotal clash with Indy. Of course, the veteran isn't fully healthy. However, DFS managers shouldn't ignore him.
