Jericho Sims scored four points (2-3 FG) to go with nine rebounds and two blocks in Tuesday's 132-109 loss to the Boston Celtics.
Fantasy Impact: The big man saw 24 minutes of action on Tuesday, and although he didn't do much from a scoring perspective, he did contribute well in other areas of the game. He led the team in rebounds and blocks on the night, although it wasn't enough to get them even close to a win over the Celtics. Fantasy managers shouldn't have high expectations for him moving forward.

It reportedly becomes more difficult for the Knicks to re-sign Isaiah Hartenstein following the trade for Mikal Bridges. (Source: Adrian Wojnarowski on Twitter)
Fantasy Impact: Hartenstein was already expected to test the open market, but it was still possible he could have re-signed with New York. With the trade for Bridges, the Knicks are unlikely to be able to afford to bring back Hartenstein. They'll have Mitchell Robinson returning as of now and could draft a big man with one of their three draft picks to make up for losing Hartenstein.

It is unclear what role Bogdanovic will be playing for the Nets coming off surgery.
