O'Quinn is dealing with a calf strain in addition to an illness and appears questionable for Monday's game against the 76ers, Marc Berman of the New York Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

Initially listed as probable on the Knicks' injury report with the ailment, O'Quinn's status for the Christmas Day clash now appears to be in more peril with the news he's also slowed by a calf injury. The Knicks will likely check back on how O'Quinn is feeling ahead of pregame warmups before a determination is made on his availability. The reserve big man is averaging 8.0 points (on 60 percent shooting from the field), 5.8 rebounds, 2.2 assists and 1.6 blocks in 19.4 minutes per game over his last five contests.

O'Quinn is probable for Monday's Christmas Day clash with the 76ers, despite dealing with an illness, Knicks beat writer Brian Heyman reports.

EDGE Analysis

O'Quinn's status was in question after he missed practice due because he was under the weather. The New York native was on the court for just 12 minutes of action Thursday in which he recorded four points, two rebounds and three assists. While O'Quinn won't be detrowning Enes Kanter from the starting center role, he should be available to come off the bench.

O'Quinn recorded 10 points (5-6 FG), three rebounds, two assists, one steal, and one block in 16 minutes during Monday's 109-91 loss to the Hornets.

EDGE Analysis

O'Quinn reached double digits in scoring for the sixth time through 30 appearances this season. While he remains an inconsistent option outside of deeper leagues, O'Quinn is averaging career highs in scoring (6.5), rebounds (6.0), and dimes (2.0) while boasting career-best shooting percentages from the field (57.7) and the charity stripe (78.3).

O'Quinn will return to the bench for Wednesday's game against the Heat, Brian Mahoney of the Associated Press reports.

EDGE Analysis

O'Quinn has started the last three games for the injured Enes Kanter (back), averaging an impressive 10.0 points, 10.7 rebounds, 3.0 assists and 1.0 block across 24.7 minutes. However, with Kanter healthy and back in the top unit, O'Quinn will head to the bench and will likely see a role reduction back to the 16.9 minutes per game he's averaged this season. With that said, O'Quinn takes a big hit to his fantasy value moving forward with Kanter available.

O'Quinn totaled a season-high 20 points (7-9 FG, 6-8 FT), 15 rebounds, four assists and two blocks in a 117-102 defeat to the New York Knicks on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

With Kristaps Porzingis and Enes Kanter both missing this game, O'Quinn took over as the primary post player. Not only were the 26 minutes a season-high, so were the 20 points and 15 rebounds. This may look like a good opportunity to pick up O'Quinn in fantasy leagues, but his value is based on the health of those players. A skeptical add may be smart, but he has no value if Porzingis and Kanter don't miss an extended period of time.

O'Quinn will start Friday's game against the Hawks, Stefan Bondy of the New York Daily News reports.

EDGE Analysis

As expected, O'Quinn will move into the lineup at center in place of Enes Kanter, who's out with back spasms. He'll be in line for increased minutes Friday, as will Willy Hernangomez off the bench.

O'Quinn is expected to start Friday against the Hawks, Marc Berman of the New York Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

With Enes Kanter (back) out of action, the Knicks will likely go with O'Quinn as the starter and Willy Hernangomez as the first man off the bench. O'Quinn played 14 minutes Wednesday against Toronto, finishing with two points, five assists, three rebounds and a block.

O'Quinn tallied 15 points (3-4 FG, 9-10 FT), 12 rebounds, five blocks and one assist across 21 minutes during a 116-110 win over the Nuggets on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

O'Quinn nabbed his first double-double of the season in an effective game off the bench. He was also active on the defensive end as the five blocks easily marked a season high. O'Quinn isn't receiving enough minutes at this point for owners to be able to rely on him for consistent production.

O'Quinn gathered four points (2-5 FG), 12 rebounds, three assists, one steal and one block across 18 minutes during Friday's game against Brooklyn.

EDGE Analysis

O'Quinn led the Knicks in rebounds Friday despite coming off the bench. The 27-year-old is averaging 17.8 minutes this season because Joakim Noah (suspension) has been out. Since the Knicks acquired Enes Kanter this offseason, O'Quinn will likely play end-of-rotation minutes once Noah returns.

O'Quinn will start Tuesday's preseason opener against the Nets, Ian Begley of ESPN reports.

EDGE Analysis

While new addition Enes Kanter drew the start in the frontcourt alongside Kristaps Porzingis during Sunday's intra-squad scrimmage, it's O'Quinn who will get the first opportunity to start in Tuesday's preseason opener. Coach Jeff Hornacek has already indicated that he's going to test out different lineups throughout the preseason, however, so O'Quinn's starting spot likely won't stick over the next few games.
