New York Knicks forward/center Isaiah Hartenstein (Achilles) won't play on Friday against the Nets. He had a double-double with six assists and two blocks in Thursday's win over the Boston Celtics. But the 25-year-old will sit this one out to rest before presumably suiting up for New York's final regular season game on Sunday. Nonetheless, without Hartenstein in the equation, Precious Achiuwa and Mitchell Robinson should split time in the middle, although the former is a much safer DFS option.

New York Knicks center Isaiah Hartenstein (wrist) will play against the Thunder on Sunday, while fellow big Mitchell Robinson (ankle) has been ruled out. Robinson appeared to hurt his left ankle again on Friday versus San Antonio. This was only his second appearance for the Knicks since recovering from ankle surgery. Hartenstein is dealing with a right wrist sprain but has been upgraded from probable to available. He's set to play a big part once more without Robinson, while Precious Achiuwa should get a boost of playing time as well. This is a favorable matchup for the Knicks frontcourt, as Oklahoma City struggles on the glass.

New York Knicks center Isaiah Hartenstein (Achilles) is not listed on the injury report ahead of the team's game on Thursday against the Warriors. The 25-year-old sat out the second night of a back-to-back after recently returning from his Achilles injury suffered earlier this month, but he is expected to be cleared to return to the lineup. However, it's likely that he will be placed on a minutes restriction, with anticipated playing time ranging between 25 to 28 minutes. Hartenstein holds season averages of 7.0 points, 8.5 rebounds, and 2.1 assists in 25.3 minutes per game.

New York Knicks center Isaiah Hartenstein (Achilles) was originally listed as questionable, but he has since been downgraded to out, according to head coach Tom Thibodeau. The 25-year-old played in each of the team's last three games while clocking 26 minutes on the court during their game on Monday. Jalen Brunson (neck) was also ruled out before tipoff, so the team will be without another starter in their game against the New Orleans Pelicans. In his place, Jericho Sims will likely take over the starting center role, while Precious Achiuwa should see some added minutes in small-ball situations. That means Bojan Bogdanovic would come in at the 4 in those situations as well.

New York Knicks center Isaiah Hartenstein (Achilles) is listed as questionable for Tuesday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans. After sidelining him for the final three pre-All-Star break outings, left Achilles tendinopathy could cost Hartenstein Tuesday's action. Look for the Knicks to reveal the 25-year-old big man's status closer to tip-off. Jericho Sims would likely make a spot start down low if Hartenstein is out for a clash between two of the NBA's top-10 defenses.

New York Knicks forward/center Isaiah Hartenstein (Achilles) will play on Thursday against the 76ers. The updates were positive over the last few days, so most had assumed Hartenstein would be back on the floor. However, head coach Tom Thibodeau indicated the 25-year-old would be under a "minutes guideline," meaning his fantasy ceiling could be significantly lower for at least a few games. It also means Precious Achiuwa, averaging 13.9 points, 10.2 rebounds, and 1.6 blocks in nine starts this season, is still worth considering for all fantasy lineups.

New York Knicks forward/center Isaiah Hartenstein (Achilles) practiced on Wednesday. He's been out with Achilles soreness, although head coach Tom Thibodeau stated he's "on track" to suit up for Thursday's meeting in Philadelphia. Thibodeau also reported that Bojan Bogdanovic (calf) and Donte DiVincenzo (hamstring) also participated in Wednesday's session, with both men trending in a favorable direction. Nonetheless, Hartenstein should be classified as questionable for the matchup versus the 76ers. With this in mind, his return could mean less work for Precious Achiuwa, who's averaged 13.9 points, 10.2 rebounds, and 1.6 blocks in nine starts this season. Achiuwa has also logged 40.6 minutes in his appearances with the first five, so Hartenstein's potential return will undoubtedly lower his fantasy ceiling.

New York Knicks center Isaiah Hartenstein (Achilles) is expected to rejoin the lineup right after the All-Star break. The Knicks get their first post-break action on Thursday versus Philadelphia. Hartenstein has been unavailable for three games due to left Achilles tendinopathy. With the Knicks thin at the center position, Hartenstein's absence resulted in Precious Achiuwa logging huge minutes. His fantasy value takes a hit with Hartenstein's return, but Achiuwa should still play a prominent role in the rotation. Hartenstein has had an impressive campaign and averages 8.3 points, 11.2 rebounds, 2.8 assists, 1.3 blocks, and 1.5 steals as a starter.

New York Knicks forward/center Isaiah Hartenstein (Achilles) won't play on Wednesday versus Orlando. He had carried a questionable tag throughout the day. However, the Achilles issue is still bothering him, so he'll miss a third consecutive contest. As a result, Precious Achiuwa will continue to see extra work, with the former Raptor coming off an impressive 17-rebound, three-block showing in Monday's loss to Houston. Without question, Achiuwa is a must-start in all fantasy formats, including those participating in DFS contests.

New York Knicks forward/center Isaiah Hartenstein (Achilles) is questionable for Wednesday's showdown with Orlando. He's missed the last two games because of a sore Achilles. With the All-Star break on the horizon, the team could play it safe by keeping the 25-year-old off the floor. At any rate, if Hartenstein sits out another game, Precious Achiuwa, coming off a 17-rebound outing on Monday in the loss to Houston, is worth starting in all fantasy leagues.

New York Knicks forward/center Isaiah Hartenstein (Achilles) is questionable for Monday's matchup with the Houston Rockets. He's battling Achilles soreness, most recently keeping him off the floor for Saturday's loss to the Indiana Pacers. The Knicks desperately need him back underneath the rim. However, if Hartenstein can't return, Taj Gibson could remain in the starting lineup. That said, Gibson failed to score on Saturday in 19 minutes, so he's not exactly an attractive alternative for fantasy managers needing to fill a hole in their starting lineups.

New York Knicks center Isaiah Hartenstein (Achilles) won't play on Saturday versus Indiana. The seven-footer is out with a sore left Achilles after being limited to 15 minutes of action in the previous game against Dallas. Precious Achiuwa has become a key cog for the Knicks due to various frontcourt injuries and is set to feature heavily again on Saturday. Taj Gibson and Jericho Sims (illness) also have a chance to get extra work, but they typically don't make a large impact in games. The latter is also considered questionable for Saturday's clash.

New York Knicks center Isaiah Hartenstein is still playing on a minutes restriction. Hartenstein said after Monday's blowout win over the Charlotte Hornets that he had a 25-minute limit, but he felt good after the game. The 25-year-old big man has been restricted to 16 minutes in each of his last two contests since returning from a two-game absence with left Achilles tendinopathy. The Knicks re-added Taj Gibson on a 10-day contract on Tuesday for frontcourt depth in the aftermath of Julius Randle's (shoulder) injury.

New York Knicks forward/center Isaiah Hartenstein (Achilles) is questionable for Saturday's game versus the Miami Heat. The former Clipper is battling left Achilles Tendinopathy, an injury that's kept him out of the lineup for the Knicks' previous two contests. Head coach Tom Thibodeau stated Thursday night that Hartenstein felt "a lot better." However, he remains in danger of missing his third consecutive game. If Hartenstein can't suit up, Jericho Sims, who's been taking Hartenstein's spot in the lineup, will likely remain with the first five. Unfortunately, Sims isn't a reliable fantasy option on the scoring end, although he's proficient on the glass. The same can be said for Precious Achiuwa.

New York Knicks center Isaiah Hartenstein (Achilles) is out for Thursday's game against the Denver Nuggets. Hartenstein will miss a second straight game due to left Achilles tendinopathy, and he'll try to return for the red-hot Knicks on Saturday against the Miami Heat. Jericho Sims is set up for another start in Hartenstein's stead on Thursday, blocking four shots in 27 minutes during Tuesday's win over the Brooklyn Nets. Precious Achiuwa is also in line for an uptick in playing time from New York's second unit against Denver.

New York Knicks center Isaiah Hartenstein (Achilles) is listed as questionable for the team's game on Thursday against the Denver Nuggets. The 25-year-old missed their last game on Tuesday due to this Achilles injury, and his status remains in question for Thursday. Jericho Sims started the last game without Hartenstein, and Sims would likely fill in again if he cannot play. The Knicks will need all the size they can get ahead of their matchup with one of the premier big men in the NBA, Nikola Jokic.

New York Knicks center Isaiah Hartenstein (Achilles) is questionable for Thursday's game against Denver. He couldn't play Tuesday versus Brooklyn due to a left Achilles issue and hasn't yet fully shaken off the injury. Jericho Sims produced a strong defensive performance with four blocks as a fill-in starter against the Nets. He'll likely receive his seventh start of the campaign on Thursday if Hartenstein doesn't return. Precious Achiuwa, who had six points and nine rebounds Tuesday, should also get healthy minutes off the bench in a difficult matchup against Nikola Jokic.

New York Knicks head coach Tom Thibodeau says center Isaiah Hartenstein (ankle) is out for Tuesday's Battle of the Boroughs with the Brooklyn Nets. This was the expected outcome after The Athletic's Fred Katz reported earlier that the Knicks were planning for Hartenstein to be unavailable and anticipating for Jericho Sims to start at the five. Hartenstein is dealing with soreness in his left ankle and will miss his first game of the season against the Nets, with his next opportunity to take the court coming on Thursday for a showdown with the defending-champion Denver Nuggets. While Sims is a serviceable source of blocks and rebounds, he could act as more of a nominal starter against Brooklyn. Look for Precious Achiuwa, who dropped an 18-point, 11-rebound double-double on his former Toronto Raptors team in Saturday's win, to be the more appealing fantasy streamer in Hartenstein's stead.

New York Knicks forward/center Isaiah Hartenstein (foot) is questionable for Tuesday's showdown with the Brooklyn Nets. The 25-year-old hasn't missed a game as a Knick. However, he injured his foot during Saturday's clash with the Toronto Raptors, keeping him out of practice on Monday. After Mitchell Robinson went down for the remainder of the 2023-24 campaign because of an ankle injury, Hartenstein became a popular roster addition for fantasy managers, especially for category participants, due to his rebounding prowess. But if he can't suit up versus the Nets, Precious Achiuwa and Jericho Sims would spend more time in the middle. Unfortunately, both men are hard to trust from a fantasy perspective.

New York Knicks center Isaiah Hartenstein (ankle) is available to play on Saturday versus the Clippers. The 24-year-old was labeled as probable on the injury report because of left ankle soreness. However, he's good to go against his former team. While Hartenstein has averaged only 5.0 points this season, he's logged a career-high 6.5 boards, so he has something to offer category managers in deeper formats.
