New York Knicks guard/forward RJ Barrett (knee) is out for Wednesday's game versus the Cleveland Cavaliers. Barrett is nursing left knee soreness and will miss his first game of the campaign after netting 16 points with three triples over 25 minutes during Tuesday's 109-91 win over a banged-up Cleveland group. The 23-year-old former No. 3 overall pick is averaging 21.0 points, 3.0 rebounds, and 2.3 threes in 31.3 minutes, so points-league fantasy managers hope the former top-five pick can return on Friday against the Milwaukee Bucks. Quentin Grimes, Josh Hart, and Donte DiVincenzo should all benefit and absorb additional minutes for head coach Tom Thibodeau, with Hart looking like the best fantasy bet on Wednesday.

New York Knicks guard/forward RJ Barrett (knee) is questionable for Wednesday's game versus the Cleveland Cavaliers. Barrett is managing left knee soreness after scoring 16 points with three three-pointers in 25 minutes of Tuesday's 109-91 win over a short-handed Cavaliers team. The 23-year-old former No. 3 overall pick is just making the top 150 in per-game 9-cat fantasy value so far, averaging 21.0 points, 3.0 rebounds, and 2.3 threes in 31.3 minutes. Barrett will likely see how he's feeling during pregame warmups to determine his availability for this battle. Some combination of Quentin Grimes, Josh Hart, and Donte DiVincenzo would be called upon to pick up the slack if Barrett misses Wednesday's rematch against the Cavs, with Hart figuring to be the most attractive DFS choice of the three in this scenario.

New York Knicks guard RJ Barrett led the way for a Canadian comeback as Team Canada prevailed over Germany on Sunday by a score of 113-112 in overtime. The young wing ended the game with 31 points on 13-for-14 shooting from the floor and a perfect 4-for-4 from beyond the arc. Barrett scored the last couple of buckets for Canada in the final seconds of regulation to force overtime and the rest of the team stepped up around him to bring the win home. This was a Sunday to remember for Knicks fans as their top two guards combined to shoot 22-for-23 in their respective games.

The Los Angeles Clippers have RJ Barrett on their radar, according to NBA insider Ian Begley. "I do know -- the Clippers over there-- there are some fans of RJ Barrett," Begley said on the latest episode of SNY's The Putback. The Knicks were linked with a move for Paul George this week and Barrett could very well end up going to L.A. in a deal involving the veteran star, but the trade certainly isn't imminent at the moment. Barrett will be entering his fifth NBA campaign next year, starting the first season of a four-year, $107 million extension.

The 22-year-old ended the game with 26 points, seven rebounds, two assists, and one block on 8-for-17 shooting overall and 3-for-8 from deep. Barrett has been the definition of inconsistent this season, but he has scored 20 or more points in four out of the five games in this series against Miami. He's even shot 46.5% overall and 41.2% from three which are both big improvements from the first-round series against Cleveland.

New York Knicks forward RJ Barrett had an impressive night on Tuesday in the postseason victory over the Miami Heat. Julius Randle (ankle) finished just shy of a triple-double, while Jalen Brunson (ankle) scored a game-high 30 points. However, Barrett was just as impactful offensively, dropping 24 points in 38 minutes. He also shot 8-for-17 from the field and 5-for-9 from deep, capping off an efficient showing. With the series knotted at one game a piece, both teams will square off on Saturday for Game 3. Barrett has played well during the postseason, and the minutes he'll be afforded by head coach Tom Thibodeau make him an ideal DFS option.

It was a struggle for him from downtown with a 1-for-5 effort and Barrett shot barely over 60 percent at the free-throw line, but it was still an efficient performance from him and he wasn't all about scoring either. Barrett typically doesn't do much else besides scoring, but he had nine rebounds and seven assists on Sunday with one steal. It's an encouraging sign for the Knicks during a time when everybody needs to step up to limit the impact of Julius Randle's (ankle) absence.

Both players would have strong streaming appeal if Barrett is forced to miss another game on Friday.

Barrett was a very last minute scratch on Sunday after feeling under the weather and was questionable Tuesday.

He's also seeing regressions in his three-point shooting and every traditional stat except points per game.

Barrett is reportedly available with no minutes limit after injuring his finger on December 27th. With his return, either Quentin Grimes or Immanuel Quickley will return to the bench and see a hit in fantasy value.

New York Knicks guard RJ Barrett (finger) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. The 22-year-old was listed as doubtful, so there was a little hope he'd return for this game.

New York Knicks guard RJ Barrett (finger) is listed as doubtful for Monday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. He has missed each of the last five games and has been sidelined since December 27th due to right index finger laceration. His absence has allowed Immanuel Quickley to play big minutes in the rotation. Quickly is currently providing top-75 value over the last two weeks. However, his fantasy value is going to take a hit once Barrett gets back on the court. Fantasy managers should check back on Monday. Although, it sounds like Barrett isn't quite ready to get back on the court yet.

New York Knicks guard RJ Barrett (finger) will have to sit out another game with a laceration on his right index finger. He has missed the last four consecutive games with the same injury and will officially miss a fifth. Immanuel Quickley has entered the starting lineup and he's only rostered in 59 percent of leagues at the moment. After him, another streaming option could be either Miles McBride or Evan Fournier. Both of them have received some more playing time, but they're harder to predict since their opportunities fluctuate.
