Sims had four points (2-4 FG), 10 rebounds, two assists and one block over 29 minutes during Monday's 103-94 loss to the Magic.

EDGE Analysis

Sims had to shoulder the load left from Karl-Anthony Towns' absence (knee) during Monday's game against the Magic. Although he couldn't replace what Towns does offensively, Sims did crash the glass, recording double-digit rebounds for the second time this season.

Sims will start Monday's game against the Magic, Steve Popper of Newsday reports.

EDGE Analysis

Sims will take over down low in the absence of Karl-Anthony Towns (knee), but Sims has averaged a mere 3.5 rebounds, 2.0 points and 1.0 assists in two games as a starter this season. Fantasy managers should turn to Precious Achiuwa for a more appealing streaming option Monday.

Sims produced one rebound over two minutes during Monday's 126-106 win over the Wizards.

EDGE Analysis

Sims logged minutes for just the second time in the past four games, both of which have been no more than two minutes. With Karl-Anthony Towns and Precious Achiuwa healthy, Sims' role is basically non-existent at this point.

Sims will come off the bench in Monday's game against the Raptors, Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca reports.

EDGE Analysis

With Karl-Anthony Towns returning from a one-game absence, Sims will slide back to the bench. The big man posted one assist across only six minutes in the starting lineup during Saturday's loss to Detroit. Sims will likely play an insignificant role off the bench while competing for minutes with Precious Achiuwa.

Sims is in the Knicks' starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Pistons, Stefan Bondy of The New York Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

Sims will make his second start of the 2024-25 regular season Saturday due to Karl-Anthony Towns (knee) being sidelined. Sims has yet to score more than 10 points in a game this season, but he should give the Knicks plenty of energy on both ends of the floor.

Sims supplied four points (2-2 FG), 13 rebounds, two assists and one steal in 23 minutes during Sunday's 118-85 win over the Pelicans.

EDGE Analysis

This was the fifth game of Sims' career with at least 13 rebounds, and he finished one board shy of his career high. He took advantage of some garbage time in this blowout win, eclipsing 20 minutes for just the second time this campaign.

Sims will start Friday's game against the Nets, James L. Edwards III of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

With Karl-Anthony Towns (knee) a surprise scratch, Sims will make his first start of the season. Sims played 24 minutes during the season-opening loss to Boston, posting four points, nine rebounds and two blocks, but he's seen 16 or fewer minutes in every game since. He made 11 starts last season, averaging 4.3 points, 4.7 rebounds and 0.8 blocks in 22.7 minutes per game during those contests.

Sims is averaging 1.3 points, 4.2 rebounds and 0.5 blocks per game across six appearances off the bench this season.

EDGE Analysis

Sims was expected to contend for a spot in a depleted frontcourt without Mitchell Robinson (ankle) and Precious Achiuwa (hamstring), but such hasn't been the case. The Knicks have played Karl-Anthony Towns at center and have elected to go with forwards at center in small-ball lineups rather than handing Sims heavy minutes. Thus, Sims isn't an appealing option in most fantasy formats, and his playing time will be even more scarce once Robinson or Achiuwa are ready to return to the hardwood.

Sims is not in the starting lineup for Friday's preseason game against the Wizards, Kristian Winfield of the New York Daily News reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Knicks have shifted their entire starting unit for this preseason finale, and Sims will head back to the bench since head coach Tom Thibodeau has decided to roll out what figures to be his starting lineup for the regular-season opener at Boston next Tuesday. Sims is competing with Precious Achiuwa for the backup center role behind Karl-Anthony Towns while Mitchell Robinson (ankle) is sidelined.

Sims will enter the starting lineup in Tuesday's preseason game against the Hornets, James L. Edwards III of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Sims will enter the starting lineup with the club deciding to rest its normal starters Tuesday. The 25-year-old is expected to serve as the Knicks' third-string center behind Karl-Anthony Towns (rest) and Precious Achiuwa until Mitchell Robinson (ankle) returns to game action. Sims will likely struggle to find consistent playing time when Robinson does make his return.
