O'Quinn (ankle) is considered questionable to play Wednesday against Cleveland, Ian Begley of ESPN New York reports.

EDGE Analysis

O'Quinn was held out of practice Tuesday after suffering a sprained right ankle Monday night, and the team will wait until Wednesday morning to re-evaluate him. The Norfolk State product has seen an increased role of late, playing at least 16 minutes in five of his last six games, but he remains a fringe option, at best, in daily formats.

O'Quinn will not play Monday against the Magic due to a right ankle injury, Ian Begley of ESPN New York reports.

EDGE Analysis

The nature of the injury is unclear, but O'Quinn will be held out Monday night after scoring four points and collecting 10 rebounds Saturday night against the Bulls. In his absence, Lou Amundson and Kevin Seraphin could each see mild boosts in minutes.

O'Quinn managed a season-high 14 points (7-8 FG), seven rebounds, a pair of assists and a block over 19 minutes in Saturday's 112-110 victory over the Blazers.

EDGE Analysis

It was an considerably efficient performance for the big man, who managed double-digit points for first time since a Halloween tilt versus the Wizards. It was also the third consecutive productive effort for the four-year pro, following a five-game stretch in which he played only seven total minutes and failed to come off the bench altogether in three of those contests. O'Quinn has generally been productive in his first Knicks season when given the opportunity, averaging 5.0 points and 4.4 rebounds over just 12.8 minutes this season.

O'Quinn has seen far fewer minutes in the past few weeks than he did to start the season.

EDGE Analysis

O'Quinn started off playing at least 11 minutes in the first six games of the season, but has only played that much twice since then. The big man did match his season high with 19 minutes of time on Friday, but he fell right back to just four minutes on Sunday. Unless he begins to see more consistent minutes, O'Quinn shouldn't be expected to score much and shouldn't be used except in very deep formats.

O'Quinn posted a season-low one point (0-1 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-2 FT) and grabbed two rebounds while playing just 11 minutes in Sunday's win over the Lakers.

EDGE Analysis

After averaging 10.5 boards over the Knicks' first two games, O'Quinn's production has fallen along with his minutes in the team's subsequent five games. He's failed to notch more than five rebounds in any of those five games, and has turned the ball over six times in that span. Moreover, with rookie Kristaps Porzingis impressing as the Knicks' starting power forward, O'Quinn isn't likely to see his role grow much moving forward.

O'Quinn posted a 10-point/10-rebound double-double in 22 minutes off the bench Thursday night. He made 5-of-9 from the field and added three assists, a steal and a block but lost three turnovers on the night.

EDGE Analysis

O'Quinn has been effective off the bench in both of his first two games, averaging nine points with 10.5 boards, three assists, 1.5 blocks and a steal in 22.5 minutes per game.

O'Quinn posted a double-double Friday, amassing 14 points (5-9 FG, 4-4 FT), two assists, 10 rebounds, and a block in a 115-104 victory over the Wizards.

EDGE Analysis

O'Quinn posted an equally impressive performance as that of one of his primary competitors for playing time, Derrick Williams. While Williams outscored him, O'Quinn was a force on the defensive glass, bringing down nine of his 10 boards on that side of the floor. The 25-year-old power forward has now tallied an impressive 18 rebounds in 46 minutes over two exhibition contests, while shooting at a 62.5 percent clip (10-for-16). If O'Quinn can manage to maintain offensive consistency while continuing to display defensive prowess, he could receive abundant opportunities in the Knicks front-court. The remainder of the preseason should help crystallize O'Quinn's regular-season role and consequently, his potential draft appeal.

O'Quinn played 21 minutes off the bench in Wednesday's exhibition against Brazilian club Bauru Basket, contributing 14 points (5-7 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 3-4 FT), eight rebounds, four assists, and a blocked shot.

EDGE Analysis

Though it was rookie Kristaps Porzingis who earned the start at power forward, O'Quinn and Kevin Seraphin (14 points on 7-for-11 shooting, five rebounds) that provided the top post production on the afternoon. Knicks coach Derek Fisher should continue to give all three players a fair chance in the preseason at staking a claim to the starting job, but O'Quinn certainly improved his stock with Wednesday's effort.

O'Quinn has been improving his offensive repertoire at Impact Basketball, Basketball Insiders reports. "Of course, I'm working on my jump shot [and] some go-to moves in the post," O'Quinn said. "I do want to get better at shooting corner threes. Last year, I was asked to do that and I want to keep working on that and expanding my range." O'Quinn struggled last season from beyond the arc, converting 28 percent of his career-high 43 attempts. He was limited all of last season from an ankle injury suffered opening night and eventually lost playing time to the Magic's Dewayne Dedmon under interim coach James Borrego. A healthy O'Quinn is an adept passer and quality rim deterrent, two qualities that all but solidify his spot in the Knicks' rotation.

O'Quinn was acquired by the Knicks under a sign and trade agreement with the Magic for a four-year deal worth $16 million, Adrian Wojnarowski of Yahoo! Sports reports. O'Quinn had a hard time earning playing time in Orlando but was a double-double threat when he saw around 30 minutes of run. He's likely positioned for a role off the bench yet again in New York, however, as he slots in behind expected starter Robin Lopez at center.
