The Knicks in the Newsroom
- StrategyThe Knicks sat Mikal Bridges for most of the second half, and his fantasy managers should wait rather than drop himBridges played 13 minutes in Chicago and is shooting 27 percent through five games, and our boards have dropped him from 131st to 155th on points, but his place in 12-team leagues depends on whether this was one night or a new rotation.
- Strategy · ProFoul trouble cost Karl-Anthony Towns and Isaiah Hartenstein on our board, and why we expect it backTowns fell from 26th to 32nd on our points board and Hartenstein from 86th to 111th after foul trouble cut their minutes on opening night, which our projections read the same way as a smaller role.
- SleepersThe opening night waiver wire, and how far to trust each nameAndre Drummond's 12 and 14 off the bench rose 29 places on our points board, while Jared McCain's six threes moved his projection not at all, because his minutes fell short of what we expected.
- StrategyVictor Wembanyama went 1-of-13 on opening night, and our projection barely movedWembanyama scored 38 ESPN fantasy points against a projection of 61.5, and our projection fell only to 60.9, because six blocks, 13 rebounds and 10 free throws carried a poor shooting night.

This is the New York Knicks (NYK) depth chart for the 26-27 NBA season, position by position: who starts, who backs up, who is out and each player’s fantasy rank, read from Sleeper’s chart every night.
The Knicks’ first choices are Jalen Brunson at point guard, Landry Shamet at shooting guard, Josh Hart at small forward, Mohamed Diawara at power forward and Karl-Anthony Towns at center.
Their best fantasy asset on our points projections is Karl-Anthony Towns, ranked 16th, and Jalen Brunson is 19th.

To use this chart in a fantasy league, the NBA fantasy schedule counts how many games the Knicks play each week, the NBA fantasy trade analyzer prices a deal for any of them, and the fantasy basketball rankings set them against every other player in the league.
