Tue Dec 27 202218:59Kemba Walker, Frank Ntilikina Both Available Tuesday
Dallas Mavericks guards Kemba Walker (knee) and Frank Ntilikina (knee) are both available to play Tuesday against the New York Knicks. Walker has been out due to injury management and head coach Jason Kidd said Walker will likely have his minutes managed moving forward. Ntilikina will return from a one-game absence after being upgraded from questionable with his own knee soreness. Both Walker and Ntilikina will back up star Luka Doncic and would need an injury to Doncic to have fantasy value.

Sun Dec 18 202207:22Kemba Walker Pops Up With 32 Points
Dallas Mavericks point guard Kemba Walker turned back the clock in Saturday's matchup against Cleveland and led all scorers with 32 points in a 100-99 overtime loss. He shot 12-for-25 from the field and had four makes from downtown with 13 attempts. Walker added five rebounds and seven assists to his line with one block and two turnovers in 42 minutes. The former All-Star showed that he can still ball out, but Luka Doncic (quadriceps) had the night off and Walker's role has been minuscule since he signed with the team on Nov. 28. With that said, it was a nice performance from him on Saturday and Doncic has started to get time off in back-to-back situations, so it might not be the last time we see him shine this season.

Sat Dec 10 202218:58Kemba Walker Set To Play 15-20 Minutes In Debut
Dallas Mavericks point guard Kemba Walker will make his team debut on Saturday against Chicago, and he's expected to feature for 15-20 minutes. This will be his first taste of NBA action since February. Kemba finds himself in a good spot to make his Mavs debut, as Luka Doncic (quadriceps) sits out the game. He's been a fan favorite for many years, but Walker's career took a turn for the worst in 2021-22 and fantasy managers shouldn't expect too much from him. It's actually crazy to think that Walker posted a Christmas Day triple-double only a year ago and a big 44-point performance preceded it. It's going to be intriguing to see how effective his play is going to be for Dallas.

Wed Feb 23 202220:46Kemba Walker To Sit The Rest Of The Regular Season
New York Knicks guard Kemba Walker has agreed to sit out the remainder of the regular season. The All-Star guard is on an expiring deal and will use this time to work on a trade scenarios this offseason. Walker is averaging 11.6 points, 3.0 rebounds, 3.5 assists in 37 games with the Knicks this season. Alec Burks, Quentin Grimes, and Derrick Rose (ankle) should all benefit with Walker done for the season. Burks is the best fantasy option out of the three, but Grimes has been on the rise lately. Fantasy managers can feel safe dropping Walker with him officially being ruled out for the rest of the season.

Tue Feb 8 202214:49Kemba Walker Available For Tuesday's Game
New York Knicks point guard Kemba Walker (rest) is not listed on the injury report for Tuesday's game against the Nuggets. Walker missed the first half of the back-to-back against the Jazz, indicating that his absence was likely a chance to give the 31-year-old a rest after coming off of an overtime loss. Walker should be back in the starting lineup and fantasy managers can start the point guard in deeper formats.

Mon Feb 7 202217:36Kemba Walker Will Miss Monday’s Contest
New York Knicks point guard Kemba Walker (rest) has been ruled out for Monday's game vs. the Jazz. Walker's minutes total has been held in check (22.1 average) over his last eight contests, with just one such outing seeing him score in double figures. His absence stands to allow RJ Barrett and Alec Burks to take on elevated ball-handling duties, while Immanuel Quickley is in line for a minutes boost. While Walker enjoyed a tremendous three-game stretch just prior to Christmas, he has been held scoreless in two of his last three appearances, likely knocking him from season-long consideration in most formats. Fantasy managers can expect him back in the mix Tuesday against Denver.

Tue Jan 18 202219:01Kemba Walker Returns For Tuesday’s Game, Will Start
New York Knicks point guard Kemba Walker (knee) has been given the green light to suit up for Tuesday's contest vs. the Timberwolves. Walker rejoins the starting five out of the gate despite missing the past nine outings due to left knee soreness. New York had been operating with a combination of Alec Burks and RJ Barrett serving as the team's primary ballhandler, with Walker's return giving the team a consistent point guard. Immanuel Quickley and Quentin Grimes are the two candidates to see their minutes total adversely affected by Walker's return. Prior to his injury, Walker had reestablished himself as a genuine season-long asset, having reeled off a 44-point outing and triple-double in back-to-back appearances.

Sat Jan 15 202218:43Kemba Walker Not Playing Against Hawks
New York Knicks guard Kemba Walker (knee) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Atlanta Hawks. Walker is currently not with the organization due to his left knee soreness. Although, it's a one-game road trip, so possibly Walker returns next game. His next chance to play would be Monday against the Charlotte Hornets. Until then, Alec Burks and Evan Fournier will be asked to play more minutes. Fournier has been inconsistent this season, but has picked up the slack lately. Possibly, Fournier has some streaming appeal without Walker on the court here.

Wed Jan 12 202218:15Kemba Walker Remains Sidelined For Wednesday’s Game
New York Knicks point guard Kemba Walker (knee) will miss his seventh consecutive contest Wednesday vs. Dallas due to left knee soreness. The fact that Walker earned a questionable designation could be a hint into how close he is to returning, but Immanuel Quickley and Miles McBride figure to cover for him in the meantime. Walker's furious close to December highlighted his immense fantasy upside when healthy, with his recent knee issues flaring up at an inopportune time. His next chance to get back into action comes Saturday against the Hawks.

Mon Jan 10 202217:59Kemba Walker, Nerlens Noel Will Miss Monday’s Contest
New York Knicks point guard Kemba Walker (knee) and center Nerlens Noel have been ruled out for Monday's game against San Antonio. The absences continue for both players, with Walker now having missed six consecutive contests, whereas Noel has missed 10 straight. Alec Burks and Immanuel Quickley have enjoyed elevated offensive roles in the backcourt without Walker in the mix, while Mitchell Robinson and Taj Gibson have held down the center spot in Noel's absence. Walker remains the vastly more intriguing fantasy candidate after having averaged 19.3 points, 6.5 rebounds and 5.3 assists across six December contests. His next chance (and Noel's) to suit up comes Wednesday vs. the Mavericks.

Thu Jan 6 202218:30Kemba Walker Won't Play Thursday
New York Knicks guard Kemba Walker (knee) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Boston Celtics. The MRI on Walker's knee came back clean, but the team doesn't feel comfortable letting him play on Thursday. That being said, Alec Burks will remain the starting point guard, while Immanuel Quickley gets more playing time off the bench. Burks is looking like a strong streaming option and favorable DFS choice for Thursday's small slate. Fantasy managers should hold Walker through this issue because he was playing well before the injury.

Fri Dec 31 202119:37Kemba Walker A Late Scratch On Friday
New York Knicks guard Kemba Walker (knee) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. He was expected to start and have a big role with Julius Randle out due to COVID-19 protocols. However, Walker will be a late scratch due to left knee soreness. Instead, Evan Fournier will move into the starting five for Friday's game. He hasn't exactly been a consistent option, but is worth a look with the Knicks shorthanded.

Wed Dec 29 202114:33Kemba Walker Expected To Play Wednesday
New York Knicks guard Kemba Walker is not listed on the injury report ahead of Wednesday's game against the Detroit Pistons. It's the second leg of a back-to-back set, which normally means that Walker sits out. However, it sounds like the All-Star guard will play on Wednesday. The Knicks are without Derrick Rose (ankle) and need Walker now more than ever before. Fantasy managers should expect Walker out there and fully available for this contest. He'll remain on the DFS radar with the Knicks shorthanded on scoring options.

Sat Dec 25 202115:08Kemba Walker Records His Third Career Triple-Double
New York Knicks point guard Kemba Walker continued to rock on Christmas Day against Atlanta, recording his third career triple-double with 10 points, 10 rebounds and 12 assists. It's his first triple-double in seven years, and Walker is now only the seventh player in league history to post a triple-double on Christmas Day. Kemba's 3-for-12 shooting was disappointing, but he was always going to crash down to Earth following Thursday's 44-point effort against Washington. Walker has been very productive in four games since re-entering the rotation, and he'll look to produce the goods again on Tuesday against Minnesota. The Timberwolves have done well defensively this season against point guards, but they are currently running with a completely different lineup because of health and safety protocols.

Fri Dec 24 202108:31Kemba Walker Drops 44 Points In A Losing Effort
New York Knicks point guard Kemba Walker had a huge performance in Thursday's loss to Washington, shooting 14-for-27 from the field en route to a season-high 44 points. He was 7-for-14 with the three-ball and 9-for-9 at the line, adding nine rebounds and eight assists with zero turnovers in 43 minutes. This line might go down in history as the greatest one from a player who was just out of the rotation for nearly a month. Kemba has been hot ever since returning to the fold, and he can shine against the short-handed Hawks next on Christmas Day. However, Knicks players are starting to clear health and safety protocols, and it remains to be seen how much longer Walker can stay in the rotation.

Wed Dec 22 202108:21Kemba Walker Performs Well Again
New York Knicks point guard Kemba Walker stayed strong against the Pistons on Tuesday, going for 21 points, eight rebounds, five assists and one steal in a 105-91 win. He nailed three shots from deep and finished with 8-for-21 overall shooting from the field while logging two turnovers in 40 minutes. Walker has reintroduced himself with 50 points across two games since finding his way back into the rotation. Knicks head coach Tom Thibodeau has reached deep into his bench because the team is missing six players because of health and safety protocols. Kemba is set to disappear once again when everyone's back, but fantasy managers should continue to ride him until the wheels come off.

Tue Dec 21 202118:46Kemba Walker To Start On Tuesday
New York Knicks guard Kemba Walker will move into the starting five for Tuesday's game against the Detroit Pistons. Derrick Rose (ankle) is sidelined and the Knicks have been crushed with multiple players landing in protocols. That being said, Walker will get another start after being benched due to poor play. He looked sharp during his last start and is worth streaming while the Knicks are shorthanded. He could have some DFS value as well for Tuesday's slate. Alec Burks and Evan Fournier will get more chances as well, but Walker has the most upside out of them all.

Sun Dec 19 202109:14Kemba Walker Re-Enters The Rotation With A 29-Point Effort
New York Knicks point guard Kemba Walker was back in the rotation Saturday against Boston, and he had a very good game with 29 points in 37 minutes before fouling out. He shot 8-for-20 from the field with a 5-for-11 record from downtown and hit eight of his 10 free throws. Kemba's work included six rebounds and three assists with only one turnover. This was Walker's first appearance in nearly a month and it was a good one, but his move to New York hasn't worked out well, and he clearly isn't the same player he used to be. However, Walker currently gives fantasy managers plenty to think about and looks like a nice short-term option.

Sat Dec 18 202118:51Kemba Walker Moves Into Starting Five
New York Knicks guard Kemba Walker will move into the starting five for Saturday's game against the Boston Celtics. Veteran guard Derrick Rose (ankle) is sidelined, so head coach Tom Thibodeau had no where else to turn. Walker has sat out each of the last nine games, but that streak will end on Saturday. Despite him not playing recently, Walker is likely to play significant minutes in this one. He could be a possible DFS option on Saturday, but he is a bit of a gamble.

Sat Nov 27 202118:55Kemba Walker, Derrick Rose Ruled Out For Saturday
New York Knicks point guards Kemba Walker (rest) and Derrick Rose (ankle) will be sidelined for Saturday's contest against the Hawks. The absence of the veteran duo figures to funnel the vast majority of PG minutes in the direction of Immanuel Quickley and RJ Barrett, while Alec Burks will stand to take on an elevated role among the team's second unit. Rose's absence will be his third in a row, with Quickley getting an extended look, which gives him short-term season-long stream appeal. The next chance for either Walker or Rose to suit up comes Tuesday vs. Brooklyn.
