ISAIAH HARTENSTEIN NEWS

Listed as probable Hartenstein (ankle) is probable Saturday against the Clippers.

Impact Hartenstein typically sees minutes in the teens as long as Mitchell Robinson is healthy. He'll continue to be a solid source of rebounds, defensive stats and field-goal percentage.

Grabs 10 boards in victory Hartenstein chipped in four points (2-3 FG), 10 rebounds and two assists in 19 minutes during Saturday's 128-106 victory over New Orleans.

Impact Hartenstein grabbed double-digit boards for the third straight game, maintaining some streaming value, even in 12-team formats. With Mitchell Robinson back, Hartenstein has been able to hold onto the backup role, with Jericho Sims basically falling out of the rotation. At this point, it feels unlikely Hartenstein will be anything more than a 20-minute-per-night player. If that holds true, he should be viewed as nothing more than a rebounds streamer.

Secures 14 rebounds Hartenstein racked up six points (3-5 FG), 14 rebounds, one assist and one block in 25 minutes during Saturday's 126-120 victory over the Jazz.

Impact Hartenstein had been held in check on the glass after finishing with three and six rebounds in his previous two contests, but he emerged as a serious threat on the boards Saturday evening. He didn't see many opportunities to shoot the basketball, but he made the most of five attempts from the field. Hartenstein has shown of late that he can add some value for fantasy managers as a big man by notching double-digit rebounds in five of his last seven matchups. He's also swatted away at least one shot in five of those contests.

Emerging as key rebounding source Hartenstein finished Sunday's 108-97 win over the 76ers with two points (1-1 FG), 14 rebounds, one assist and one block in 26 minutes.

Impact Even though he continued to come off the bench, Hartenstein played more minutes than starting center Jericho Sims (22) for the fourth consecutive game. Hartenstein has pulled down double-digit boards in each of those contests while chipping in one steal and nearly one block (0.8) per game, giving him some value for fantasy managers seeking help in the traditional big-man categories. Unless head coach Tom Thibodeau changes course and starts to feed more of the center minutes to Sims or if the Knicks add another center ahead of Thursday's trade deadline, Hartenstein may be able to maintain his level of production from the past week for as long as Mitchell Robinson is on the mend from thumb surgery.

Upward trend continues Hartenstein notched eight points (3-7 FG, 2-3 FT), 10 rebounds, one assist and three steals over 29 minutes during Thursday's 106-104 victory over Miami.

Impact Hartenstein closed the game Thursday, once again outplaying Jericho Sims. Despite still coming off the bench, Hartenstein has been the go-to option over the past two games, teasing everyone with his strong per-minute upside. There is no indication he will take the starting spot away from Sims, but should the minutes stick at close to 30, he could become a viable pickup across all 12-team leagues.

Double-double off bench Hartenstein closed Tuesday's 129-123 overtime loss to the Lakers with 16 points (7-10 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 13 rebounds and one assist across 40 minutes off the bench.

Impact Hartenstein saw a starter's workload and recorded his second double-double of the season, while starting center Jericho Sims played only 13 minutes due to a combination of ineffectiveness and foul trouble. With Mitchell Robinson (thumb) potentially not returning until March, the Knicks could have some incentive to add veteran frontcourt depth at the trade deadline, but for now Hartenstein's role seems secure.

Poaches minutes from Sims Hartenstein finished with four points (2-3 FG), nine rebounds, four assists, one steal and one block in 23 minutes off the bench in Tuesday's 105-103 win over the Cavaliers.

Impact With Mitchell Robinson recovering from thumb surgery and at risk of being sidelined through the All-Star break, Jericho Sims picked up his third straight start at center Tuesday. However, Hartenstein ended up working in a relatively even timeshare with Sims, who logged 25 minutes. Sims had performed reasonably well in his previous two starts but provided just two points, four rebounds and two turnovers Tuesday, paving the way for Hartenstein to cut into his workload. Hartenstein took advantage of the opportunity and produced a well-rounded line, but it's unclear if the performance will earn him the lion's share or even a split of the minutes regularly moving forward. For now, Hartenstein looks like a player to monitor in 12-team category leagues over the Knicks' next couple of games rather than someone who warrants an immediate pickup off the waiver wire.

Grabs seven boards in win Hartenstein finished Friday's 112-108 victory over the Wizards with eight points (3-6 FG, 2-3 FT) and seven rebounds over 19 minutes.

Impact Hartenstein logged 19 minutes in the victory, a slight increase from what he had been getting prior to Friday. Mitchell Robinson fouled out in 29 minutes, affording Hartenstein the additional playing time. Viewed as a potential 12-team asset coming into the season, Hartenstein quickly fell out of favor, resulting in him being dropped across most competitive formats. Despite this bump in playing time, there is no reason to think it will lead to anything significant moving forward.

Decent showing off bench Hartenstein amassed eight points (2-6 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 4-4 FT), five rebounds and one steal in 19 minutes during Wednesday's 117-114 victory over San Antonio.

Impact Hartenstein led the Knicks' bench in scoring and scored four of his eight points from the charity stripe. Wednesday's performance marked his best scoring night since Dec. 11 and his second time in four games collecting five rebounds. Hartenstein is averaging 5.5 points and 6.3 rebounds in 19.4 minutes over 39 appearances this year.

Perfect from field Hartenstein closed with five points (2-2 FG, 1-1 3Pt), seven rebounds and one block over 19 minutes during Friday's 118-117 loss to Chicago.

Impact Hartenstein hasn't scored in double-figures since Dec. 9. The 24-year-old big man generates most of his fantasy value on the glass, averaging 7.0 rebounds in 33 games this season.

Productive night on boards Hartenstein totaled six points (2-5 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 1-2 FT), eight rebounds and one assist over 16 minutes during Wednesday's 128-120 overtime victory over the Bulls.

Impact Hartenstein failed to impress in the scoring column, but he secured four of his eight rebounds in the first quarter and dished out an assist in the third after being held without one Sunday against the Kings. The 24-year-old is averaging 6.4 points and 7.0 rebounds in 20.7 minutes across 28 matchups this year.

Near double-double Sunday Hartenstein logged 10 points (4-9 FG, 2-2 FT), nine rebounds and one assist in 14 minutes during Sunday's 92-81 win over the Cavaliers.

Impact Hartenstein nearly recorded his second double-double of the season despite playing only 14 minutes. He was around the rim throughout the game as six of his nine rebounds came off the offensive glass. He's averaging 6.9 rebounds in just 20.9 minutes per contest through 24 games.

Downward trend continues Sunday Hartenstein totaled four points (2-3 FG, 0-1 3Pt), four rebounds and one block over 15 minutes during Sunday's 127-123 loss to the Grizzlies.

Impact Hartenstein played fewer than 18 minutes for the fifth consecutive game, continuing what has been a significant drop-off in both playing time and production. While it does appear as though he is playing through an Achilles injury, managers simply can't play the waiting game any longer. Despite the upside, he can be safely returned to waivers until such time that he is logging significant minutes once more.

Returns to bench role Hartenstein is coming off the bench Monday against the Thunder.

Impact Hartenstein had started his team's last six matchups while Mitchell Robinson recovered from a knee injury, but he'll return to the bench following Robinson's return. Hartenstein averaged 6.2 points and 6.5 rebounds in his last six games as the starting center.

NOVEMBER 22, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Another subdued effort Friday Hartenstein amassed eight points (3-4 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 1-1 FT), five rebounds, one block and one steal across 17 minutes during Friday's 111-101 loss to the Warriors.

Impact Hartenstein fell short of the mark once again Friday, continuing what has been a lean spell over the past two weeks. Despite what seemed like a nice opportunity, Hartenstein has been unable to build on what was an encouraging start to the season. He is outside the top 150 over the past two weeks, meaning he is certainly in drop territory. It could be worth waiting to see what his role looks like when Mitchell Robinson returns from his knee injury, but for those needing immediate production, moving on is a viable strategy.

NOVEMBER 19, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Bottoms out in win Hartenstein notched zero points (0-1 FG), three rebounds, one block and one steal in 22 minutes during Wednesday's 106-103 victory over the Nuggets.

Impact Hartenstein flopped in the win, delivering arguably his worst performance of the season. Despite moving into the starting role in recent times, Hartenstein has been unable to make the most of things. While he does remain a 12-team option, moving on to grab a player with more upside is not out of the question.

Starting Friday Hartenstein will join the starting five for Friday's matchup against the Knicks.

Impact Hartenstein returns to the starting lineup after coming off the bench in each of the past two games despite Mitchell Robinson (knee) being out, as Coach Tom Thibodeau opted to start Jericho Sims instead. In Hartenstein's only start this season, he recorded 10 points and 14 rebounds across 38 minutes and warrants consideration in both daily and season-long formats as a streamer.

Quiet in bench role Hartenstein had four points (1-3 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds, two assists and one block in 21 minutes during Monday's 120-107 win over the Timberwolves.

Impact Hartenstein was relegated to the bench in what was a surprising move by the Knicks. It remains to be seen if this was simply a result of the matchup or whether it sticks moving forward. As long as Mitchell Robinson is out, Hartenstein should continue to be a rostered player no matter his designation.
