Knicks' OG Anunoby: Goes for 23 points vs. Washington
Anunoby had 23 points (8-12 FG, 4-5 3Pt, 3-4 FT), two rebounds, three assists and two steals over 31 minutes during Saturday's 122-103 victory over the Wizards.
Anunoby and Mikal Bridges are two players tasked with handling a more significant role on offense due to Jalen Brunson (ankle) being sidelined. Anunoby, known league-wide for his defensive prowess, has now scored at least 20 points in five of his last seven contests, including each of the previous two. He's averaging a solid 20.1 points, 5.3 rebounds, 3.0 assists and 2.3 steals per game in that seven-game stretch.

Knicks' Mikal Bridges: Excellent all-around performance
Bridges logged 27 points (10-20 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 3-3 FT), six rebounds, four assists, one block and three steals in 38 minutes during Saturday's 122-103 victory over Washington.
Bridges extended his streak of games with double-digit points to eight, and this was the third time he cleared the 25-point mark in that stretch. The veteran forward has been outstanding in recent weeks and has looked solid as one of the go-to options on offense for the Knicks in the absence of Jalen Brunson (ankle). Bridges is averaging 21.8 points, 4.1 rebounds and 5.0 assists per game in that eight-game stretch.

Knicks' Karl-Anthony Towns: Scores 31 points in win
Towns provided 31 points (10-20 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 10-13 FT), 11 rebounds, one assist, one block and two steals in 37 minutes during Saturday's 122-103 win over the Wizards.
Towns delivered a dominant performance on both ends of the court, limiting the impact of Alex Sarr while also recording his 17th double-double with at least 30 points this season. The star big man has been tasked with handling a bigger workload on offense due to the absence of Jalen Brunson (ankle), and Towns has been thriving. He's averaging 24.0 points, 10.5 rebounds, 2.2 assists and a combined 1.5 steals-plus-blocks per game across 10 appearances since the beginning of March.

Knicks' Cameron Payne: Will start Saturday
Payne will start Saturday against the Wizards, Kristian Winfield of the New York Daily News reports.
Payne will get the nod at point guard for the Knicks due to the absences of both Jalen Brunson (ankle) and Miles McBride (groin). Payne's lone start this season came on Jan. 1, when he posted eight points, nine assists, three rebounds and three steals across 36 minutes in a win over the Jazz.

Knicks' Miles McBride: Sitting out Saturday
McBride (groin) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Wizards, Kristian Winfield of the New York Daily News reports.
Cameron Payne will likely start at point guard in place of McBride, who had been filling in for Jalen Brunson (ankle) on the top unit in each of the last seven games. While Payne should see the brunt of the minutes at point guard, the Knicks could also make room in the rotation for either Tyler Kolek or Delon Wright as Payne's backup.

Knicks' Miles McBride: Game-time call Saturday
Knicks head coach Tom Thibodeau labeled McBride (groin) as a game-time call for Saturday's contest versus the Wizards, James L. Edwards III of The Athletic reports.
McBride is dealing with a left groin contusion. The 24-year-old guard has started the last seven games for New York while Jalen Brunson (ankle) has been on the mend, averaging 12.6 points, 5.1 assists, 2.7 rebounds, 2.6 three-pointers and 1.3 steals in 34.0 minutes per contest during that stretch.

Knicks' Jalen Brunson: Out at least one more week
The Knicks announced Saturday that Brunson (ankle) is taking part in controlled court work and will have his status updated in one week.
Brunson has missed seven straight games since suffering a sprained right ankle in a March 6 loss to the Lakers. New York will likely continue to roll with Miles McBride (groin) as its starting point guard until Brunson is healthy enough to return to the floor.

Knicks' Mitchell Robinson: Removed from injury report
Robinson (ankle) has been cleared to play in Saturday's game against the Wizards.
After missing Thursday's loss to the Hornets, Robinson will return to the floor for the Knicks on Saturday. The veteran big man is coming off a strong performance off the bench in Wednesday's loss to the Spurs, finishing with 13 points, 11 rebounds, one steal and two blocks.

Knicks' Miles McBride: Questionable for Saturday
McBride (groin) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Wizards.
McBride was also listed as questionable due to the groin injury before suiting up in Thursday's loss to the Hornets. The 24-year-old posted nine points (4-10 FG, 1-6 3Pt), six assists, three rebounds and one block across 36 minutes. If McBride joins Jalen Brunson (ankle) on the sideline Saturday, Cameron Payne and Tyler Kolek are candidates for an uptick in playing time.

Knicks' Cameron Payne: Muted performance in loss
Payne supplied five points (2-8 FG, 1-4 3Pt), three rebounds and three assists over 16 minutes during Thursday's 115-98 loss to the Hornets.
Jalen Brunson (ankle) is nearing a return for New York, as he's no longer confined to a walking boot and was able to do some light shooting Thursday. Payne hasn't been able to take advantage of his absence, posting averages of 5.8 points, 3.3 assists, 1.5 rebounds and 1.3 three-pointers in 15.6 minutes over his last four appearances.

Knicks' Landry Shamet: Scoreless in 19 minutes
Shamet supplied zero points (0-3 FG, 0-3 3Pt) and one steal in 19 minutes during Thursday's 115-98 loss to Charlotte.
Jalen Brunson (ankle) ditched his walking boot and was able to do some light shooting Thursday, suggesting he's nearing a return, but he still doesn't have an official return timetable. Despite playing 21.4 minutes per contest over his last four games, Shamet has been very quiet with 3.3 points, 2.0 rebounds and 1.0 steals.

Knicks' Josh Hart: Posts solid line in loss
Hart ended with 13 points (5-8 FG, 3-3 3Pt), four rebounds, six assists and one steal over 39 minutes during Thursday's 115-98 loss to Charlotte.
Right behind Karl-Anthony Towns, Hart has been second on the Knicks in nine-category fantasy value this season. Through 66 games, Hart is on pace to post third-round value with averages of 14.0 points, 9.6 rebounds, 5.7 assists, 1.5 steals and 1.1 three-pointers on 53.3 percent shooting from the field while playing 37.7 minutes.

Knicks' Karl-Anthony Towns: Double-doubles in loss to Hornets
Towns ended Thursday's 115-98 loss to the Hornets with 24 points (10-21 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 10 rebounds and three assists in 36 minutes.
Towns remains the most reliable scoring option for the Knicks, and while he's been experiencing an uptick in workload and usage rate due to the absence of Jalen Brunson (ankle), he's not been fazed by the uptick in workload. The star big man surpassed the 20-point mark for the seventh game in a row, a span in which he's also notched three double-doubles. Towns is averaging 25.4 points, 9.1 rebounds and 2.8 assists per game in that seven-game stretch.

Knicks' OG Anunoby: Fills stat sheet in loss Thursday
Anunoby finished with 25 points (7-19 FG, 3-12 3Pt, 8-8 FT), six rebounds, two assists, one block and three steals across 38 minutes during Thursday's 115-98 loss to the Hornets.
Anunoby is known for his ability to fill the stat sheet and thrive on the defensive end, but he's improved his scoring of late in the absence of Jalen Brunson (ankle). The veteran forward has reached the 20-point mark in four of his last six contests, a span in which he's averaging 19.7 points, 5.8 rebounds and 2.3 steals per game.

Knicks' Mikal Bridges: Solid all-around performance
Bridges finished Thursday's 115-98 loss to Charlotte with 16 points (5-11 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 6-8 FT), four rebounds, six assists and three steals in 33 minutes.
Bridges scored in double digits for the seventh game in a row and was able to deliver a more efficient effort compared to the one he posted in Wednesday's loss to the Spurs. However, the uptick in numbers wasn't enough to stop the Knicks' ongoing losing skid. He should continue to operate as one of the Knicks' secondary go-to options on offense behind Karl-Anthony Towns as long as Jalen Brunson (ankle) remains sidelined.

Knicks' Miles McBride: Playing vs. Charlotte
McBride (groin) is available for Thursday's game against the Hornets, Stefan Bondy of The New York Post reports.
McBride recorded 11 points, five assists and three rebounds in Wednesday's loss to the Spurs, and while he was dealing with a groin contusion, he'll give it a go in the second leg of this back-to-back. McBride is averaging 13.2 points, 2.7 rebounds, 5.0 assists and 1.5 steals per game over his last six starts.

Knicks' Jalen Brunson: Ditches walking boot
Knicks head coach Tom Thibodeau said Thursday that Brunson (ankle) is no longer confined to a walking boot and has been able to do some light shooting, Steve Popper of Newsday reports.
The Knicks hope to have Brunson back before the regular season ends, but until the star guard is able to take part in practice, his return to game action shouldn't be viewed as imminent. Brunson sustained a right ankle sprain in a March 6 overtime loss to the Lakers and has missed the Knicks' last six contests.
