Iman Shumpert - G/F - Knicks

Iman Shumpert (bruised left knee) is listed as day-to-day.

The greater concern is that Shumpert had ACL and meniscus surgeries on his left knee in 2012, but fortunately it doesn't seem as though this contusion caused serious damage. Raymond Felton (hamstring) is out 2-3 weeks, J.R. Smith is still fighting his way back from knee surgery, Tyson Chandler (leg) may miss another 1-2 weeks, and the Knicks are simply trying to stay afloat until their key players get healthy.

Raymond Felton - G - Knicks

Raymond Felton's MRI confirmed a strained left hamstring and he will miss 2-3 weeks.

Pablo Prigioni started in Felton's absence Wednesday night, but only posted six points and two assists in 31 minutes of action. Beno Udrih didn't fare much better in 17 minutes, so Mike Woodson will have his work cut out for him filling in for Felton over the next two or three weeks. Neither player has much fantasy value even with Felton out, but there are rumors of the Knicks chasing Kyle Lowry that we'll be keeping an eye on.

Andrea Bargnani - F/C - Knicks

Andrea Bargnani played 27 minutes in a win over the Bulls on Wednesday, finishing with eight points, three boards, one assist, one steal and one block.

The milk has gone bad for Bargnani over his last four, shooting just 32.0 percent from the field for 9.5 points, 4.3 boards, 1.0 blocks and 0.8 triples. Things aren't looking up for his value with Tyson Chandler coming back at some point and Amare Stoudemire outplaying him, so it's not too bad of an idea to cut him for a hot free agent.

Kenyon Martin - F - Knicks

Kenyon Martin played 35 minutes against the Bulls on Wednesday and had three points, seven boards, two assists, one steal, two steals and four blocks.

He missed two games with an ankle injury and he hardly looked 100 percent in this game. The Knicks all the inside help they can get, but Martin's probably going to be feeling it tomorrow. He almost doubled his 35.4 minutes-per-game average tonight and this game wasn't convincing enough to add him in most leagues.

Carmelo Anthony - F - Knicks

Carmelo Anthony scored a game-high 30 points against the Bulls in an 84-78 win to go with 10 boards, four assists, three steals, one block and one 3-pointer in 41 minutes.

He matched his season high with 11 makes from the line tonight and snapped his four-game streak of shooting less than 20 shots from the floor with his 9-of-21 shooting line. Anthony is coming out of a bit of a slump from the end of November and scored 30 points for the first time since Nov. 25. Even though the Knicks did win the game, they blew a 23-point lead and coach Mike Woodson's hot seat did not cool down tonight.

Tim Hardaway Jr. - G - Knicks

Tim Hardaway Jr. played 18 minutes off the bench on Wednesday vs. the Bulls, scoring seven points with two boards, two assists, one steal and one 3-pointer.

The team might have to put him back in the starting lineup with Iman Shumpert suffering a knee injury. Hardaway is fine on offense with his 8.1 points per game on 46.7 percent shooting, but he really has some work to do on defense. He's worth a speculative add in deep leagues as long as his prospective owners keep their expectations low.
Dec 11 - 11:34 PM
Amare Stoudemire - F/C - Knicks

Amare Stoudemire played a season-high 30 minutes against the Bulls on Wednesday and had 14 points, nine boards, one assist, two steals and one block on 7-of-11 shooting.

He played in both games of a back-to-back set and he broke his yesterday's season-high 27 minutes tonight. This is the best Stoudemire has looked all season, but even the least skeptical fantasy owners are likely doubting he can keep this up. The Knicks will likely dial back his minutes in order to keep him healthy, especially once Tyson Chandler gets back. We're not fans of cutting anyone to pick him up in almost any situation.

Iman Shumpert - G/F - Knicks

Iman Shumpert has a bruised left knee and is doubtful to return to Wednesday's game against the Bulls.

This is the same knee that needed surgery back in Apr. 2012 for a torn ACL. Usually, knee bruises aren't a serious injury, but the Knicks will likely re-evaluate him. Shumpert has played 28.8 minutes per game for the Knicks and is one of their better defenders, so they will definitely miss him. J.R. Smith and Tim Hardaway Jr. would likely pick up the slack since Beno Udrih and Pablo Prigioni are already responsible for playing point guard with Raymond Felton (hamstring) out a while. Hardaway is worth a look as a speculative add in deeper leagues.

Amare Stoudemire - F/C - Knicks

Amare Stoudemire will play in his first back-to-back set on Wednesday with no restriction.

He looked like STAT circa 2010 on Tuesday in 27 minutes, scoring 15 points with five boards, two blocks and one steal in a loss. Andrea Bargnani has looked terrible lately, so the improvements for Stoudemire don't bode well for the Italian. STAT is still far too risky to be considered must-own in most leagues.

Raymond Felton - G - Knicks

Coach Mike Woodson said on Wednesday Raymond Felton (hamstring) "could be out a while."

Felton pulled his hamstring injury on Tuesday and already said he had no chance to play earlier today at shootaround. After a day off on Thursday, the Knicks will play three games in four games, so it's not a stretch to think Felton could miss all of those. Pablo Prigioni and Beno Udrih will split the duties while Prigioni gets the first crack at starting. Felton wasn't a must-own player to begin with, so his owners might have to weigh their options.

Kenyon Martin - F - Knicks

Kenyon Martin (ankle) is expected to return to action vs. Chicago on Wednesday.

His return will likely shift Metta World Peace back to the bench. K-Mart and the Knicks will have an easier time if Joakim Noah (thigh) can't suit up, but from a fantasy perspective there's not much to like about Martin, MWP and Amare Stoudemire.

Amare Stoudemire - F/C - Knicks

Amare Stoudemire will attempt to play on Wednesday, which would be his first back-to-back appearances of the season.

He scored 15 points on Tuesday and has been solid recently in limited minutes off the bench. He wanted to play back-to-back games last week but wound up sitting out Friday's game, so there are no guarantees that he'll be in uniform vs. the Bulls.

Raymond Felton - G - Knicks

Raymond Felton aggravated his pulled left hamstring during Tuesday's game and he admitted afterward that he may need to sit out a few games.

"The way I feel right now, I have no chance [for Wednesday]," Felton said. He may have returned too soon from his recent left hip injury and the Knicks' medical staff is telling him to rest, so fantasy owners should prepare to be without him for a while. Pablo Prigioni and Beno Udrih will both need to step up in the rotation if Felton does miss time.

J.R. Smith - G/F - Knicks

J.R. Smith hit 5-of-14 shots and four 3-pointers for 14 points, one rebound, three assists and a steal in Tuesday's loss to Cleveland.

The 3-pointers were nice, but the shooting and just about everything else left plenty to be desired. He's shooting just 40 percent over his last five games with averages of 10.8 points, 4.2 rebounds, 2.2 assists, 0.6 steals, 0.0 blocks and 2.8 3-pointers. If you throw out the 3-pointers, there would be no reason to own Smith right now.
Dec 10 - 10:05 PM
Amare Stoudemire - F/C - Knicks

Amare Stoudemire had 15 points, five rebounds, a steal and two blocks on 7-of-10 shooting in 27 minutes off the bench on Tuesday.

After getting a rest for Friday's game, Stoudemire has scored 15 and 17 points in his last two games, averaging 16 points, 3.5 rebounds and 1.5 blocks on 12-of-17 shooting. Of course, his next missed game is probably just around the corner, so there's no reason to rush out and pick him up in most leagues.
