Hukporti started Wednesday’s game for the injured Karl-Anthony Towns, and the rookie got an alley-oop dunk on the Knicks’ first offensive possession. However, while he did shoot the ball well, the rebounding output was limited. Making matters worse was Hukporti suffering a sprained right knee early in the third quarter. While he would return briefly, the decision was ultimately made to sit him for the rest of the night. Helping Hukporti was the work of Josh Hart (7/17/4/1/1 in 39 minutes) and Precious Achiuwa (7/6/2/0/4 in 31 minutes), who combined for 23 rebounds and five blocked shots. Those two will be critical if Towns is unavailable for Friday’s game in Memphis, regardless of what happens with Hukporti.

Despite the Knicks securing the third seed in the East on Friday, McBride played 30 minutes as Josh Hart’s replacement in the starting lineup in Brooklyn. He had a good afternoon for fantasy managers in active leagues, providing solid value in points, rebounds, assists, steals and three-pointers. McBride’s role will be different when the playoffs begin next weekend, but his scoring ability will be critical off the bench.

The Knicks rested four starters for Sunday’s game, including Jalen Brunson, so Payne was in the starting lineup. As is usually the case for the veteran backup, it was an adventure, but he made big plays on both ends of the court down the stretch to get New York its 51st win. Payne will return to the bench for the playoffs, which the Knicks will begin on Saturday or Sunday when the Pistons visit for Game 1.

Vucevic’s 2024-25 season ended on Wednesday, with the Bulls center recording his 46th double-double. One of the most surprising players in fantasy basketball, Vooch was a top-20 player in nine-cat formats while sitting just outside the top-30 in eight-cat. Vucevic has been a relatively safe option for most of his time in Chicago, hovering around the top-50. As good as this season was for him fantasy-wise, managers should not go into drafts expecting Vucevic to offer value in 2025-26 on par with this season.

While he struggled with his shot on Tuesday, the 7-foot-4 Edey was a force on the boards. Having reached double digits in rebounds in five of his last six appearances of the regular season, the rookie center grabbed 17 more on Tuesday. Seven rebounds were offensive, giving the Grizzlies extra possessions that helped erase a 20-point deficit. Edey was unable to do enough to help Memphis get the win and earn a playoff spot. Still, they’ll have another opportunity to do so on Friday against the winner of Wednesday’s game between Dallas and Sacramento.
