O'Quinn will sit out Sunday's game against the Lakers with an ankle injury, Al Ianazzone of Newsday Sports reports.

EDGE Analysis

With O'Quinn out, look for Willy Hernangomez and Lance Thomas to be the main frontcourt backups in Sunday's game. O'Quinn's next chance to return will be Tuesday against the Suns.

O'Quinn contributed 12 points (6-8 FG, 0-1 FT), seven rebounds, three assists, two blocks and one steal in 27 minutes during Tuesday's 114-103 win over the Heat.

EDGE Analysis

O'Quinn was rewarded for his strong play over the last two weeks, as he saw over 20 minutes of playing time while coming off the bench for the first time all season, while starter Joakim Noah only played 14 minutes. Over the last ten games, O'Quinn is averaging 6.5 points, 6.4 rebounds and 1.2 blocks per game. If the 26-year-old can continue to play at a high level, he should remain a major factor in the Knicks rotation, especially if Noah remains on a minutes restriction.

O'Quinn started at center and compiled 20 points (9-11 FG, 2-2 FT), 13 rebounds, two assists and two blocks across 31 minutes in Friday's 118-114 win over the Timberwolves.

EDGE Analysis

O'Quinn started for the fourth time in seven games with Joakim Noah (ankle) sitting out, but for the only time during that stretch, coach Jeff Hornacek opted to give him the bulk of the minutes at center, rather than having him split time with rookie Willy Hernangomez. The increased playing time helped O'Quinn establish season highs in scoring and rebounds, and he could receive the opportunity to routinely flirt with 30-minute workloads if Noah's injury ends up proving more problematic than expected.

O'Quinn contributed two points (1-2 FG, 0-1 FT), eight rebounds and two assists in 18 minutes during Wednesday's 106-104 win over the Timberwolves.

EDGE Analysis

O'Quinn got his third start of the season with Joakim Noah (ankle) unable to go. The 26-year-old matched his season high in rebounds and is averaging seven boards over the three starts, an uptick from 4.5 rebounds when coming off the bench. However, Marshall Plumlee played well during his career-high 19 minutes and, going forward, could factor into the now crowded center position for the Knicks that already features Noah, O'Quinn, Willy Hernangomez and Kristaps Porzingis.

O'Quinn tallied eight points (4-5 FG), eight rebounds and one block in 17 minutes during Sunday's win over the Hawks.

EDGE Analysis

O'Quinn got the start with Joakim Noah (illness) out, and recorded a season high in rebounds. However, the 26-year-old struggled with foul trouble early on and was forced to cede playing time to Willy Hernangomez, who saw 29 minutes. If Noah misses any additional time, O'Quinn and Hernangomez should once again be in line for more playing time, but Kristaps Porzingis may also see additional playing time at center for the Knicks.

O'Quinn will start at center for Sunday's matchup with the Hawks, Al Iannazzone of Newsday Sports reports.

EDGE Analysis

O'Quinn is averaging just 10.2 minutes per game so far this season, but Joakim Noah has come down with an illness and is sitting out during Sunday's game, which gives O'Quinn an opportunity to jump into the starting lineup and see an increased role. With the additional playing time, O'Quinn could be a potential value option in DFS contests Sunday, but his value will take a steep hit once Noah returns to the court, which could be as soon as Tuesday.

O'Quinn tallied two points (1-3 FG), two rebounds, one assist and one block across three minutes in Monday's 93-77 win over the Mavericks.

EDGE Analysis

O'Quinn opened the season as Joakim Noah's primary backup at center, but the veteran has seen his role dissipate of late with rookie Willy Hernangomez taking on more responsibilities off the bench. Since he's received five or fewer minutes in three of the last four games, it's difficult to get excited about O'Quinn's fantasy prospects, even in deeper leagues.

O'Quinn scored 13 points (6-9 FG, 1-2 FT) in 17 minutes and also had eight rebounds, two assists, and a block versus the Boston Celtics on a preseason game on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

The Celtics were resting quite a few key players, which made O'Quinn's task easier for him. It's not like O'Quinn has been lighting the world on fire this preseason, and he's averaging 5.2 ppg and 4.2 rpg in his career. His fantasy value is likely to be rather limited.

O'Quinn is in the starting lineup for Tuesday's preseason game against the Rockets, Al Iannazzone of Newsday Sports reports.

EDGE Analysis

O'Quinn will draw the start, as expected regular season starter Joakim Noah is sitting out with a hamstring injury. O'Quinn is slated to open the season as Noah's backup, but for the duration of his absence throughout the preseason, look for O'Quinn to see extended run.

O'Quinn had two points (1-2 FG, 0-1 3Pt), five rebounds, and two blocks in 13 minutes during the Knicks' 111-97 loss to the Hornets on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

O'Quinn has averaged 15 minutes per game over the last four contests, which exceeds his season average of 11 minutes. However, unless Robin Lopez receives rest down the stretch and O'Quinn gets thrown into a starting role, he is only worth consideration in the deepest formats.
