Shamet notched 22 points (6-8 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 6-6 FT), a rebound and an assist across 30 minutes in Monday's 103-90 win over the Nets.
Shamet delivered his best scoring performance of the season, leading New York with 22 points while converting four three-pointers and all six free-throw attempts. His 30-minute workload off the bench was encouraging, particularly with the Knicks relying on his perimeter shooting off the bench, and he seems to have a steady role as one of the main backups in the backcourt. However, his limited contributions outside scoring make him a specialized fantasy option whose value depends heavily on shooting efficiency and playing time.
Towns finished with 11 points (4-11 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 2-3 FT), 16 rebounds and five assists across 35 minutes in Monday's 103-90 win over the Nets.
Towns struggled offensively, failing to score in the first half before finishing with 11 points. However, his 16 rebounds and five assists helped compensate for the disappointing scoring output. Towns continues to provide substantial fantasy value through rebounding and playmaking, and his scoring has been solid for the most part. While this 11-point performance was a season-low mark, he had scored at least 19 points in each of his previous six showings.

Knicks' OG Anunoby: Scores 18 points in comeback win
Rotowire
Anunoby delivered 18 points (4-10 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 7-8 FT), four rebounds, two assists, two steals and a block across 38 minutes in Monday's 103-90 win over the Nets.
Anunoby played a pivotal role in New York's fourth-quarter comeback, connecting on consecutive three-pointers early in the period to erase Brooklyn's lead. His three combined defensive stats also strengthened his fantasy production, while the 38-minute workload reinforced his importance to the rotation. Anunoby's combination of perimeter shooting and defensive contributions provides a dependable fantasy foundation, and his scoring numbers have been very good -- he has notched at least 18 points in four of his last six appearances.
Brunson collected 19 points (6-16 FG, 4-11 3Pt, 3-6 FT), two rebounds and six assists in 34 minutes during Monday's 103-90 win over Brooklyn.
Brunson was held under 20 points for just the second time in seven games this season, but it was enough to help his team secure the victory. He's been particularly aggressive from deep lately, where he's gone 13-for-31 over his last three games. Brunson will draw another favorable matchup Wednesday against the Bulls.
Knicks' Jose Alvarado: Returning from four-game absence Monday
Rotowire
Alvarado (ankle) is available for Monday's game against the Nets, Ian Begley of SportsNet New York reports.
Alvarado will shed his questionable tag and suit up for the first time since Oct. 23. His return from a four-game absence will likely mean fewer opportunities for Tyler Kolek and Jordan Clarkson off the Knicks' bench.
Alvarado (ankle) is questionable for Monday's game against the Nets.
Alvarado has missed four straight games and was ruled out at least 24 hours in advance of each absence. However, it appears he's nearing a return to action. If available Monday, Alvarado would likely face limitations, while Jordan Clarkson and Tyler Kolek would be candidates for fewer minutes.

Knicks' Jalen Brunson: Tallies 24 points in Friday's loss
Rotowire

He finished Friday's contest as New York's leader in both points and assists and second in steals behind Mikal Bridges (three). Brunson has scored 20-plus points in five of the first six games of the regular season and is averaging 25.5 points, 5.2 assists, 2.8 rebounds, 1.0 steals and 2.2 threes over 35.2 minutes per game, though he's connecting on only 32.5 percent of his three-point attempts so far.
Towns ended with 22 points (8-15 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 3-3 FT), 12 rebounds, three assists and one block over 35 minutes in Friday's 98-93 loss to Philadelphia.
Towns suffered a sprained wrist in Wednesday's victory over Chicago and carried an injury designation heading into this contest. However, he was cleared to suit up for the Knicks' first game of NBA Cup group play. The 2015 No. 1 overall pick played well, finishing the night with his sixth double-double in as many games while remaining efficient shooting the ball. In six regular-season appearances in the 2026-27 campaign thus far, Towns has averaged 21.8 points, 13.5 rebounds and 3.2 assists across 31.7 minutes per outing. He has also shot 41.4 percent from downtown.
