Karl-Anthony Towns Records Another Finals Double-Double
New York Knicks forward/center Karl-Anthony Towns finished Friday's Game 2 win over the San Antonio Spurs with 21 points, 13 rebounds, four assists, one block, one steal, and three three-pointers in a 105-104 victory. He went 8-for-12 from the field and 2-for-2 at the line, giving New York a clean scoring option around the basket and from deep. Towns also spent key stretches battling Victor Wembanyama as the Knicks moved ahead 2-0 in the NBA Finals. After posting 18 points and 12 rebounds in Game 1, Towns has opened the series with back-to-back double-doubles, keeping his fantasy profile elite even when the late-game offense runs through Jalen Brunson and Mikal Bridges.

Jalen Brunson Overcomes Cold Night to Seal Game 2
New York Knicks point guard Jalen Brunson overcame a brutal shooting night in Friday's 105-104 Game 2 win over the San Antonio Spurs, finishing with 20 points, five rebounds, six assists, and five steals. The Knicks captain misfired often, going 7-for-25 from the field and 2-for-8 from deep, though he hit 4-for-5 at the line. Brunson buried a game-tying jumper down the stretch and sank the decisive free throw after a Victor Wembanyama collision. The cold shooting aside, his six assists and five steals kept the fantasy line productive, and that shot volume points to a bounce-back in Monday's Game 3 as New York carries a 2-0 series lead.

Mitchell Robinson is Upgraded to Available for Game 2
New York Knicks center Mitchell Robinson (finger) has been upgraded to available ahead of Friday's Game 2 against the San Antonio Spurs. Robinson suffered a broken pinky finger during the Eastern Conference Finals. Despite the injury, Robinson was able to suit up for the first game of this series. He finished with two points and six rebounds across 13 minutes of action. He's available once again and figures to play a similar role on Friday. Robinson might get a slightly longer leash now that the Knicks have seen he can play with the finger injury. Karl-Anthony Towns is going to play around 35 minutes, so Robinson is limited to minutes in the teens. With that being said, Robinson isn't an ideal fantasy option.

Josh Hart Grabs 15 Rebounds in Game 1 Win Over Spurs
New York Knicks guard/forward Josh Hart impressed with his rebounding in the NBA Finals opener against the San Antonio Spurs on Wednesday, grabbing a game-high 15 boards in a 105-95 win. His scoring was limited to three points, but Hart still had a big impact. His line included six assists, four steals, and one block. The 31-year-old had the game's highest plus/minus at plus-22. Hart missed all three attempts from deep and was 1-for-5 overall. He was happy to take a back seat on offense and tried to be effective elsewhere. The Knicks are unlikely to care much about Hart's offensive woes as long as the wins keep coming. With 12 straight victories, Mike Brown's team has posted the second-longest winning streak in NBA playoff history.

Karl-Anthony Towns Opens Finals With Double-Double
New York Knicks forward/center Karl-Anthony Towns recorded an 18-point, 12-rebound double-double as the team kicked off the 2026 NBA Finals with a 105-95 road win over the San Antonio Spurs on Wednesday night. Towns also had four assists and one block, going 7-for-15 from the field. He missed both attempts from three-point land but was a perfect 4-for-4 with his free throws. In the Finals, Towns faces a tough matchup against Victor Wembanyama, but he played well in Game 1. This could give him additional confidence for the rest of the series.

Jalen Brunson Scores Game-High 30 Points in Finals Opener
New York Knicks point guard Jalen Brunson led his team to a 105-95 Game 1 victory in the NBA Finals against the San Antonio Spurs on Wednesday night, scoring a game-high 30 points on a 12-for-31 effort from the field. He was huge for his team in the fourth quarter with 13 points as New York turned a tie game into a comfortable road win. Brunson overcame a couple of early injury blows, hurting his right knee and left ankle. This was an impressive Finals debut from Brunson, but he left plenty up his sleeve. In 37 minutes, he managed only two assists and three rebounds, committing four turnovers.

Mitchell Robinson is Available for Game 1 on Wednesday
New York Knicks center Mitchell Robinson (finger) is available to play ahead of Wednesday's Game 1 of the NBA Finals versus the San Antonio Spurs. Robinson suffered a broken pinky finger during the previous series. He was uncertain to suit up for the beginning of the series, but he will shed the questionable tag and play on Wednesday. The expectation is that he'll continue to play his key reserve role off the bench. He will be the primary backup center for when Karl-Anthony Towns is out of the game. The finger injury shouldn't impact his performance on the court, but the Knicks might play it somewhat cautiously in his first game playing after the injury.

Mitchell Robinson is Questionable for Game 1
New York Knicks center Mitchell Robinson (finger) is officially listed as questionable ahead of Wednesday's Game 1 of the NBA Finals versus the San Antonio Spurs. Robinson is currently nursing a fractured right pinky finger that he suffered at some point during the Eastern Conference Finals. He was able to get through some individual work without any issues on Sunday. All signs are pointing to Robinson being active, but fantasy managers will need to check back ahead of tip-off. If Robinson sits out, Karl-Anthony Towns would take on a heavy workload with Ariel Hukporti likely getting a few minutes off the bench.

Mitchell Robinson Plans to Play in Game 1 After Finger Surgery
New York Knicks center Mitchell Robinson (finger) underwent surgery on his broken right pinky and plans to play in Game 1 of the NBA Finals next Wednesday with a brace on his hand, ESPN's Shams Charania reports. The 28-year-old has been a low-usage piece all postseason, averaging 5.3 points and 5.5 rebounds in 14.2 minutes off the bench behind Karl-Anthony Towns. His value has always come from energy rebounding and rim protection rather than scoring, so the brace is the real question: a player whose calling card is securing the ball now has to do it with a protected hand. Even at full strength, he offers little beyond rebounds and blocks for fantasy purposes, and if the finger limits him, Ariel Hukporti is the only proven fallback at center for New York.

Mitchell Robinson Suffers Broken Pinky, Remains Without a Timetable
New York Knicks center Mitchell Robinson (finger) could be in danger of missing some time after suffering an injury earlier this week. Robinson has been diagnosed with a broken right pinky finger and remains without a timetable to return. The 28-year-old has been a key contributor as a reserve player for the Knicks. He averaged 4.5 points and 5.8 rebounds during the Eastern Conference Finals. The team hasn't shut the door on him returning for the Finals. His absence could open up more playing time for Ariel Hukporti. The Knicks would likely lean on Karl-Anthony Towns and Josh Hart, assuming Robinson misses any time. Robinson might still be able to contribute in a limited role, but being a full-go seems unlikely.

Mikal Bridges Cools Off in Game 4 Against Cavaliers
New York Knicks guard/forward Mikal Bridges contributed 15 points, three rebounds, and five assists during Monday's series-clinching 130-93 road win against the Cleveland Cavaliers. Once again, Bridges did a solid job for the Knicks, though his hot hand finally cooled off. After making at least 57% of his field-goal attempts in eight consecutive games, Bridges finished 4-for-16 from the floor. He went 1-for-8 from three-point range and 6-for-6 at the line. While Bridges' recent percentages have been unsustainable, the Knicks will be hoping he can replicate that form in the NBA Finals to boost their title chances.

OG Anunoby Active on Both Ends in Blowout Win
New York Knicks forward OG Anunoby recorded 17 points, seven rebounds, four assists, and two steals in Monday's 130-93 blowout win against the Cleveland Cavaliers. He made only one of five three-point attempts but finished a decent 6-for-13 from the field, helping the Knicks reach their first Finals since 1999. After recovering from a hamstring injury, Anunoby improved with each outing in the series, averaging 16.3 points, 5.8 rebounds, 3.3 assists, and 1.0 steals. He will compete for his second NBA championship and has some unfinished business after not seeing the floor in the 2019 Finals as a member of the Toronto Raptors.

Karl-Anthony Towns Leads Knicks in Scoring During Series-Clincher
New York Knicks forward/center Karl-Anthony Towns scored a team-high 19 points in Monday's series-clinching 139-93 blowout win over the Cleveland Cavaliers. He added a game-high 14 rebounds, three assists, two steals, and two blocks, marking his ninth double-double of the postseason. Towns was 3-for-3 from downtown and missed only three of his 11 field-goal attempts overall. The 30-year-old big man has been extremely efficient and effective with his play throughout the postseason and will no doubt play a major role in the upcoming Finals, where the Knicks face either San Antonio or Oklahoma City. Towns may prefer to face the Thunder, having had more success against them during the regular season.

Jalen Brunson Named Eastern Conference Finals MVP
New York Knicks point guard Jalen Brunson was unanimously named the 2026 Eastern Conference Finals MVP after the team completed its sweep of Cleveland with a 130-93 victory on Monday night. Brunson, who earned his third consecutive All-NBA Second Team selection over the weekend, averaged 25.5 points, 3.3 rebounds, 7.8 assists, and 1.0 steal per game against Cleveland. The 29-year-old has been among the top performers in the 2026 playoffs, leading the Knicks to back-to-back sweeps and the first Finals since 1999. While Brunson was outstanding in the Eastern Conference Finals, he still has room for improvement after making only 18.2% of his three-point attempts.

Karl-Anthony Towns Continues Playmaking Surge on Saturday
New York Knicks forward/center Karl-Anthony Towns amassed 13 points, eight rebounds, seven assists, three steals, and one block in Saturday's 121-108 Game 3 win over the Cleveland Cavaliers. The 30-year-old was efficient during his 36 minutes on the floor, finishing 4-for-9 from the field and a perfect 4-for-4 from the charity stripe. While Jalen Brunson (30 points) and Mikal Bridges (22 points) led the scoring effort, Towns continued to thrive as a high-post facilitator to help New York secure a commanding 3-0 series lead. The Knicks also got a strong contribution from OG Anunoby, who posted 21 points and seven rebounds as he continues to look fully mobile following a minor strain sustained in the previous round. Towns has significantly boosted his fantasy floor by serving as an offensive hub this postseason, averaging 6.1 assists through nine playoff games compared to his regular-season average of 3.4.
