Knicks' Isaiah Hartenstein: Flirts with triple-double in win
Rotowire
Hartenstein contributed 14 points (5-7 FG, 4-4 FT), 12 rebounds, eight assists and one block over 39 minutes during Wednesday's 130-121 victory over the Pacers in Game 2 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals.
Hartenstein continues to impress for the Knicks, falling two assists short of a triple-double. With Mitchell Robinson (ankle) likely out for the remainder of the postseason, Hartenstein should be in line for heavy minutes moving forward. It's been a breakout season for Hartenstein, one that should have him well-placed to receive a sizeable upgrade when it comes time to discuss his future contract.
Knicks' Isaiah Hartenstein: Limited by foul trouble
Rotowire
Hartenstein closed Thursday's 125-114 loss to Philadelphia in Game 3 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs with 14 points (7-12 FG, 0-1 3Pt), four rebounds and one assist in 26 minutes.
Hartenstein picked up five fouls in the loss, limiting him to just 26 minutes. Mitchell Robinson went down with another ankle injury, meaning the Knicks are going to need Hartenstein to play the bulk of the center minutes. While this performance was modest, to say the least, Hartenstein has been a factor in the series to this point, continuing his breakout season.

Knicks' Isaiah Hartenstein: Picks up double-double Thursday
Rotowire
Hartenstein logged 11 points (5-11 FG, 1-3 FT), 13 rebounds, six assists, two blocks and one steal in 33 minutes during Thursday's 118-109 victory over the Celtics.
Hartenstein recorded a double-double for the second time over his last three appearances, and while he doesn't hold a prominent role in an offensive scheme led by Jalen Brunson, the big man has found ways to contribute regularly in a starting role. Hartenstein is averaging 10.6 points and 7.2 rebounds per game over his last 10 games while scoring in double digits in four straight appearances.
Hartenstein closed with 18 points (8-9 FG, 2-3 FT), 10 rebounds, one assist and one steal over 29 minutes during Sunday's 122-109 win over the Bucks.
Mitchell Robinson continues to play a limited role off the bench, and Hartenstein likely holds onto his starting job moving forward. He's been a top-50 player in nine-category formats for the past month, averaging 10.6 points, 8.0 rebounds, 3.3 assists, 1.4 steals and 1.0 blocks.

Knicks' Isaiah Hartenstein: Active on both ends Friday
Rotowire
Hartenstein closed Friday's 108-100 loss to the Bulls with 10 points (3-5 FG, 4-6 FT), seven rebounds, two assists, one block and three steals across 29 minutes.
Hartenstein is not known for recording double-doubles left and right, but the big man is capable of stuffing the stat sheet on both ends of the court, particularly in a starting role. He should remain as New York's starting center, as Mitchell Robinson is slowly working his way back from a lengthy absence. Thus, Hartenstein should be a valuable fantasy option across all formats, but particularly in category-based leagues. Hartenstein has averaged 11.6 points, 7.2 rebounds, 3.7 assists, 1.9 steals and 1.1 blocks per game over his last 10 appearances.
