O'Quinn had three rebounds and one block in five minutes during the Knicks' 99-91 loss to the Pelicans on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
After being a healthy scratch in the previous three contests, O'Quinn saw the floor for the 10th time in March on Monday. He is averaging 4.7 points, 3.7 rebounds, and 1.2 assists in 12 minutes per appearance this month.

O'Quinn offered 11 points (3-10 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 3-4 FT), nine rebounds, and one assist in 25 minutes during the Knicks' 104-85 loss to the Trail Blazers on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
O'Quinn neared a double-double on Tuesday, which would have been his first such showing since the second game of the 2015-16 season. During eight February games, O'Quinn managed averages of 3.5 points and 2.1 rebounds, and 0.9 blocks in eight minutes per contest, and unless he starts seeing 20 minutes or more on a regular basis, the 6-10 center can be avoided across all fantasy formats.

O'Quinn scored 19 points (7-10 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 3-3 FT) to go with six rebounds and a block over 16 minutes in a 108-105 loss to the Pacers on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
O'Quinn had his best game of the season in limited minutes, playing with impressive physicality and even hitting multiple three's for the first time in 2015-16. Minutes have been hard to come by for the bearded big man lately -- O'Quinn entered Wednesday averaging just seven minutes of court time since Jan. 31, a span including two DNP. With his strong performance against Indiana's frontcourt, O'Quinn may receive extended looks in Friday's game against the Magic.

O'Quinn has appeared in three of the Knicks' five February games to date and is averaging two points and 1.7 rebounds over 5.3 minutes.
EDGE Analysis
O'Quinn has seen more than 20 minutes in just one contest since the calendar flipped to 2016, and it looks like he'll continue to play sparingly off the bench for the Knicks with Derrick Williams seemingly cementing himself as the team's top frontcout reserve. The 25-year-old is shooting a career-worst 47.6 percent from the field and is seeing his fewest minutes since his rookie season with the Magic in 2012-13.

O'Quinn chipped in eight points (4-13 FG, 0-1 3Pt), six rebounds, three assists, two blocks, and one steal across 19 minutes in Thursday's 103-93 loss to the Raptors.
EDGE Analysis
O'Quinn was in contention for a starting job back in training camp, but with rookie Kristaps Porzingis quickly establishing himself as an NBA-ready talent, the 25-year-old has been stuck in a reserve role all season. However, Porzingis fell ill shortly before game time Thursday, which enabled O'Quinn to earn his first starting chance of the season. As the 4-for-13 shooting mark would suggest, O'Quinn didn't exactly make the most of his opportunity, and fellow big man Derrick Williams (28 minutes) ended up absorbing most of Porzingis' playing time. O'Quinn could still get another trial with the starters if Porzingis is forced to miss Friday's tilt with the Suns, but O'Quinn won't make for an especially enticing DFS play.

O'Quinn will draw the start Thursday versus the Raptors.
EDGE Analysis
O'Quinn will benefit from Kristaps Porzingis' late scratch from the lineup. Many expected Derrick Williams to snatch Porzingis' starting spot, but the Knicks must like the matchups with a more traditional power forward. O'Quinn typically does not see much time in the rotation, but due to a litany of injuries he should see a much heavier workload than usual Thursday.

O'Quinn scored four points (2-2 FG) and added three rebounds and two assists across seven minutes in Monday's 119-113 double-overtime win over the 76ers.
EDGE Analysis
After supplying 15 points in 21 minutes two days earlier against the Grizzlies, O'Quinn saw his playing time drop off considerably Monday, even though Kristaps Porzingis had to depart late in the fourth quarter with a sore right foot. Though it looks like O'Quinn is back in the rotation in some capacity after sitting out games Jan. 5 and Jan. 13, it doesn't appear he'll be able to count on getting more than 20 minutes of run with much regularity.

O'Quinn (ankle) will return to action Saturday, Stefan Bondy of the New York Daily News reports.
EDGE Analysis
O'Quinn missed the Knicks previous two games, but will return to action Saturday. He will likely return to his usual workload of 15-20 minutes. He is averaging 5.1 points, 4.7 rebounds, 1.3 assists, 0.5 steals, and 0.8 blocks per game this season.

O'Quinn (ankle) will not play Wednesday against the Cavaliers, Chris Herring of the Wall Street Journal reports.
EDGE Analysis
Neither O'Quinn nor Carmelo Anthony (ankle) will go for the Knicks on Wednesday, despite both players going through a full shootaround Wednesday morning. O'Quinn will miss his second straight game after sitting out Monday against Orlando. Expect Derrick Williams and Kevin Seraphin to pick up a few extra minutes in his stead.

O'Quinn (ankle) was a full participant in Wednesday's morning shootaround, but remains questionable for the game later in the evening against the Cavaliers.
EDGE Analysis
The Knicks will see how O'Quinn responds to treatment after shootaround before rendering a verdict on his status closer to game time. O'Quinn missed Monday's game against the Magic with the injury, and a second consecutive absence would potentially open up more playing time for reserve forwards Derrick Williams and Kevin Seraphin.
