O'Quinn finished with 23 points (10-15 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 3-3 FT), eight rebounds, three assists, one steal and one block across 26 minutes during Thursday's 121-110 loss to the Nets.

EDGE Analysis

With Kristaps Porzingis (thigh) out Thursday, O'Quinn saw 26 minutes against the struggling Nets and responded by posting one of his best games of the season. Though his minutes have been spotty all season -- tallying 12 games in which he saw single-digit minutes and 15 games in which he saw 20 or more -- O'Quinn has shown strong flashes when given the opportunity. The 26-year-old center's best trait is his rebounding, where he averages 13.1 rebounds per 36 minutes, but has also shown ability to score the ball. That being said, he remains a risky player to roster in both season-long and daily formats considering the inconsistent minutes.

O'Quinn came off the bench and scored four points (2-6 FG, 0-2 3Pt) while adding seven rebounds, four assists and one block in 19 minutes during Wednesday's 101-90 win over the Magic.

EDGE Analysis

Despite some reports indicating that he would start, O'Quinn came off the bench Wednesday. Lance Thomas joined Kristaps Porzingis in the starting lineup, and Thomas played an effective 31 minutes. Thomas' success makes it unlikely that the Knicks would change things up for Friday's game against the 76ers if Willy Hernangomez (ankle) remains sidelined. Regardless of Henangomez's status, this game was a negative development in terms of O'Quinn's fantasy value moving forward.

O'Quinn will start at center Wednesday against Orlando, Steve Popper of The Record reports.

EDGE Analysis

As anticipated, O'Quinn will move into the lineup at center in the absence of Joakim Noah (knee) and Willy Hernangomez (ankle). The 26-year-old will be in line for an increase in minutes, though coach Jeff Hornacek noted that Kristaps Porzingis, who returns from an ankle injury, will also see minutes at the five.

O'Quinn will likely start at center for Wednesday's game against the Magic, Ian Begley of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

With Joakim Noah (knee) out for the season, Willy Hernangomez has taken over starting duties at center. However, Hernangomez is dealing with an ankle injury of his own and is fully expected to sit out Wednesday, which will allow O'Quinn to make another appearance with the top unit. O'Quin has been solid in eight previous starts this season, where he's averaged 9.8 points, 6.5 rebounds and 1.5 assists across 20.3 minutes. He could see an even bigger workload as one of just two true centers available, although the Knicks could experiment with more Kristaps Porzingis at the center position as well.

O'Quinn will come off the bench for Saturday's matchup against the 76ers, despite earlier reports of him starting.

EDGE Analysis

With Kristaps Porzingis (ankle) out, O'Quinn will continue providing a spark off the bench while Lance Thomas will draw the start at power forward.

O'Quinn will draw the start Saturday against the 76ers with Kristaps Porzingis (ankle) out, Ian Begley of ESPN reports.

EDGE Analysis

O'Quinn normally provides a nice spark off the bench for the Knicks, but he'll have the opportunity to start next to Willy Hernangomez for Saturday's contest. Over the past seven outings, he's averaged 8.7 points on 55.6 percent shooting, 5.6 rebounds, and 1.9 blocks across 18.1 minutes per game, but should be in line for a larger workload against the 76ers.

O'Quinn accumulated 16 points (8-9 FG, 0-1 3Pt), six rebounds, four blocks, and three assists across 22 minutes during Friday's 131-123 loss to the Nuggets.

EDGE Analysis

O'Quinn had gotten the start at center over the past two contests with Joakim Noah (hamstring) out, but coach Jeff Hornacek decided to go with a smaller starting lineup featuring Kristaps Porzingis at center and Brandon Jennings at shooting guard to deal with the fast-paced offense of the Nuggets. O'Quinn put the hurt on the Nuggets' second-unit, missing only one shot and sending away four of the their attempts in just 22 minutes. Though he has the occasional outburst similar to Friday's, the 6-10 center receives an average of just 15.1 minutes per contest, rendering him nearly irrelevant in almost all fantasy formats except DFS.

O'Quinn will play a reserve role in Friday's game against the Nuggets, Nuggets' announcer Jason Kosmicki reports.

EDGE Analysis

Quinn had started the previous two games at center in place of the injured Joakim Noah. However, the Knicks will opt to go small Friday by starting Carmelo Anthony and Kristaps Porzingis in the frountcourt. Quinn figures to see his minutes take a slight hit as a result.

O'Quinn will start at center Monday against the Lakers, Al Iannazzone of Newsday reports.

EDGE Analysis

With Joakim Noah (hamstring) ruled out, O'Quinn will enter the lineup at center and will be in line for increased minutes alongside Kristaps Porzingis. A strong rebounder, O'Quinn has some appeal as a low-cost daily play, though his production has proven to be relatively volatile on a game-to-game basis. On the season, O'Quinn has notched six double-doubles, including a 13-point, 10-rebound effort Tuesday in Washington.

O'Quinn is expected to start at center Monday against the Lakers, ESPN.com's Ian Begley reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Knicks have already ruled Joakim Noah (hamstring) out for Monday's game, and coach Jeff Hornacek hinted at the team's practice Sunday that he prefers to keep rookie center Willy Hernangomez with Brandon Jennings on the second unit, leaving O'Quinn as the most likely candidate to replace Noah in the starting five. Hernangomez, who has notched double-doubles in two of his last three contests and played 36 minutes in his most recent game Saturday against the Cavaliers, could still end up dominating the playing time at the position, making O'Quinn a somewhat risky lineup choice in DFS contests.
