Khris Middleton - Sidelined again WednesdayMiddleton (knee) remains out Wednesday against the Hawks.
ImpactMiddleton's 2022-23 campaign looks more like a lost one for fantasy managers. He has appeared in just seven games, and there is still no return date in sight. Middleton's next opportunity to suit up arrives Thursday against the Heat, but there aren't any signals suggesting he will be ready to do so.

RJ Barrett - Considered questionableBarrett (finger) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Pacers.
ImpactBarrett has missed six straight games with a laceration on his right index finger, but the 22-year-old was able to take part in most of Sunday's practice and appears close to a return. If the lefty is cleared for Wednesday's matchup, he may face a minutes restriction, which would limit his overall fantasy value.

Immanuel Quickley - Drops 23 in loss to MilwaukeeQuickley recorded 23 points (9-14 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 2-3 FT) and four rebounds across 43 minutes during Monday's 111-107 loss to the Bucks.
ImpactMaking his seventh straight start while RJ Barrett (finger) is on the shelf, Quickley put together another strong performance. His recent surge actually began before Christmas -- the third-year guard has scored in double digits in 11 straight contests, averaging 19.1 points, 4.4 assists, 4.3 boards and 2.8 threes over that stretch.

Julius Randle - Seventh straight double-doubleRandle supplied 25 points (9-29 FG, 1-12 3Pt, 6-7 FT), 16 rebounds, five assists and two steals across 40 minutes during Monday's 111-107 loss to the Bucks.
ImpactThe veteran forward continues to put a difficult 2021-22 campaign behind him. Randle has delivered a double-double in seven straight games, boosting him to fifth in the league with 23 on the season, and over that hot streak, he's averaging a massive 30.7 points, 13.9 boards, 4.9 assists, 4.0 threes and 1.0 steals despite shooting just 41.8 percent from the floor. As long as he continues to see huge shooting volume -- he's averaging better than 20 FG attempts a night since the beginning of December -- Randle's production isn't likely to slow down.

Jalen Brunson - Career-best night against BucksBrunson posted 44 points (15-30 FG, 4-10 3Pt, 10-10 FT), seven rebounds and four assists in 39 minutes during Monday's 111-107 loss to the Bucks.
ImpactThe 44 points were a career high for the point guard, who continues to reward the Knicks for signing him this past offseason. Brunson has scored over 20 points in five straight games sandwiched around a three-game absence due to a hip injury, and on the season, he's posting career-best averages in points (21.6), assists (6.5), three-pointers (1.7) and steals (1.0).

Brook Lopez - Productive in comeback winLopez had 17 points (7-16 FG, 3-9 3Pt, 0-1 FT), seven rebounds, three blocks, two assists and one steal across 33 minutes during Monday's 111-107 win over New York.
ImpactIt's the first time in over a month Lopez has recorded multiple blocks and multiple threes in the same game. The veteran center's offensive game has been disappointing of late with single-digit scoring efforts in three of the last five contests. However, over his last 12, he's still averaging a strong 16.0 points, 8.0 boards, 2.2 blocks, 1.4 three-pointers and 1.3 assists while shooting 56 percent from the floor.
