RJ Barrett - Posts double-double in loss Barrett totaled 18 points (7-18 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 2-4 FT), 12 rebounds, five assists and two steals across 39 minutes during Monday's 97-87 loss to the Hornets.

Impact Barrett tallied slightly less production on the scoreboard Monday after totaling at least 26 points in each of the last three games, but he led the Knicks in rebounds en route to his second double-double of the 2021-22 campaign. After having his playing time monitored in late December following a lengthy absence, the 21-year-old has resumed his normal workload and has been a strong fantasy contributor.

Kemba Walker - Won't play Monday Walker (knee) will not be available for Monday's game against the Hornets, Fred Katz of The Athletic reports.

Impact Just when Walker had moved back into the rotation and fired off some memorable performances, the knee issues that have plagued him over the last few seasons began to crop up again. Monday will mark his ninth consecutive absence due to what the team is simply calling "left knee soreness." With a back-to-back on tap, Walker will likely miss Tuesday's game against Minnesota, as well.

Nerlens Noel - Sitting out second straight game Noel (knee) is listed as out for Monday's game against the Hornets.

Impact After he made his return to action in Wednesday's blowout win over the Mavericks following a 10-day stint in the NBA's COVID-19 health and safety protocols, Noel is now sidelined with an injury for the second straight game. On a fortunate note, Noel is dealing with soreness in his left knee this time around, after right knee soreness had previously cost him time earlier in the season. Noel's absence Monday should allow Taj Gibson to hold down a spot in the rotation as the backup to starting center Mitchell Robinson.

Kemba Walker - Questionable for Monday Walker (knee) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Hornets.

Quentin Grimes - Doesn't miss off bench Grimes provided eight points (3-3 FG, 2-2 3Pt), one rebound and one assist in 16 minutes during Saturday's 117-108 win over the Hawks.

Impact Grimes connected on all three of his shot attempts -- including two threes -- during Friday's win. Over his last four games, he's averaged 7.5 points, 2.3 rebounds and 2.0 assists in 22.8 minutes. Fantasy managers should monitor how the acquisition of Cam Reddish impacts the rookie's role moving forward.

Taj Gibson - Scores seven points off bench Gibson ended Saturday's 117-108 victory over the Hawks with seven points (3-4 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-2 FT) and three rebounds in 17 minutes.

Impact With Nerlens Noel (knee) a late scratch, Gibson saw an increased role behind Mitchell Robinson. The veteran forward doesn't hold much fantasy value for season long leagues, but he can certainly offer some high-floor value in DFS if one or both of the aforementioned centers are sidelined.

JANUARY 16, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

RJ Barrett - Another solid performance Barrett ended Saturday's 117-108 win over the Hawks with 26 points (8-20 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 8-10 FT), five rebounds, three assists and one steal over 41 minutes.

Impact Over his last three games, Barrett's averaging 29.7 points, 5.0 rebounds and 3.0 assists in 37.7 minutes while shooting a scalding 56.3 percent from from three. On the season, the lefty forward is averaging 16.9 points on 35.7 percent shooting from distance, so Barrett is likely due for a regression soon. However, fantasy managers shouldn't fret over the inevitable and enjoy what is arguably the best stretch of the third-year pro's career so far.

Alec Burks - Near triple-double in win Burks closed Saturday's 117-108 victory over the Hawks with 17 points (4-8 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 7-7 FT), nine rebounds and eight assists in 36 minutes.

Impact Burks has been in and out of the starting lineup this season, but he's been a steady producer no matter his role. On Saturday, he scored his most points since dropping a season-high 34 on Dec. 29 and finished second on the team in rebounds and assists. Over his last six games -- all starts --, he's averaged 11.3 points, 6.7 rebounds, 4.7 assists and 1.8 steals in 35.0 minutes. He'll look to continue his solid play against the Hornets on Monday.
