Grabs 12 boards, adds three blocks
Robinson finished with eight points (4-6 FG), 12 rebounds, one assist, three blocks and two steals in 20 minutes during Monday's 108-105 victory over the Hawks.
Analysis
Robinson got it done on both ends of the floor, making some key plays for the Knicks in what felt like a playoff game. Seeming healthy now, Robinson figures to play a sizeable role for New York, providing the team with an elite defensive presence, as well as a dynamic rebounder, particularly on the offensive end.

Returns vs. Atlanta
Robinson (lower body) returned to Monday's game against the Hawks with 10:34 remaining in the fourth quarter, per the broadcast.
Analysis
Robinson took a hard fall in the third quarter and limped to the locker room. However, the big man joined his teammates on the bench shortly thereafter and was cleared to return after being evaluated.

Limps to locker room
Robinson exited to the locker room in the third quarter of Monday's game against the Hawks due to an apparent lower-body injury, Steve Popper of Newsday reports.
Analysis
Robinson took a hard fall and hobbled to the bench before being evaluated by a trainer. He eventually limped to the locker room and can be considered questionable to return until further notice.

Not starting Monday
Robinson won't start Monday's game against Atlanta.
Analysis
Robinson started Friday's 136-96 win over Chicago, finishing with a 17-point, 11-rebound double-double along with two steals and one block across 23 minutes. However, with Karl-Anthony Towns (elbow) back in the lineup, Robinson will head back to the bench.

Efficient double-double in win
Robinson accumulated 17 points (7-7 FG, 3-4 FT), 11 rebounds, one block and two steals in 23 minutes during Friday's 136-96 win over the Bulls.
Analysis
Robinson got the start at center due to the absence of Karl-Anthony Towns (elbow), and the former made the most of the uptick in playing time. Robinson was perfect from the field en route to his first double-digit scoring output since March 24, and he also posted his first double-double since March 22. The big man has four double-doubles since the All-Star break, and he'll likely remain productive, particularly in category-based leagues, as long as his playing time continues to hover around the 20-minute plateau.

Starting versus Bulls
Robinson will start Friday's game against Chicago, James L. Edwards III of The Athletic reports.
Analysis
Karl-Anthony Towns (elbow) won't suit up for this contest, so Robinson will make his first start since the 101-92 win over the Pacers on March 13. In 15 starts throughout the 2025-26 campaign, the 28-year-old has averaged 4.3 points, 8.9 rebounds, 0.9 assists, 1.1 blocks and 0.7 steals in 19.9 minutes per tilt.

Good to go for Friday

Analysis

Confirmed out for Wednesday
Robinson (ankle) is out for Wednesday's game against Memphis.
Analysis
As per usual, Robinson will be held out for the second leg of this back-to-back set. He's expected back in the rotation Friday against the Bulls. Ariel Hukporti could pick up some backup center minutes with this news.

Struggles again in loss
Robinson amassed five points (2-4 FG, 1-2 FT), five rebounds and one steal over 16 minutes during Tuesday's 111-94 loss to the Rockets.
Analysis
Robinson has struggled to have an impact in recent times, averaging just 4.0 points, 5.0 rebounds and 1.0 blocks in 19.9 minutes per game across his past three appearances. Although he has been mostly healthy, his impact remains inconsistent, particularly from a fantasy standpoint. At best, managers can consider him for streaming purposes when in need of boards and blocks.
