OG Anunoby DVOA, Advanced Stats, & Fantasy Rankings

New York Knicks forward OG Anunoby played a vital role in Monday's comeback victory against the Boston Celtics. The Knicks were limited to 45 first-half points but won the game 108-105 in overtime after dominating the second half. 20 of Anunoby's game-high tying 29 points came in the second half, and he also made key plays defensively. Over 46 minutes of action, Anunoby added four rebounds, three assists, and one steal to his tally while shooting 10-for-20 from the field and 6-for-11 from behind the arc. Anunoby's performances were inconsistent during the first-round series against the Detroit Pistons, but he appears to have found his mojo recently, averaging 23.3 points with 52 percent three-point shooting over his last three outings.

New York Knicks forward OG Anunoby (thumb) will suit up for Saturday's matchup against the Detroit Pistons. Due to a right thumb sprain, Anunoby sat out two of the final three regular-season games, but the team has not listed him on the injury report ahead of Saturday's Game 1. Anunoby had higher offensive usage late in the regular season and averaged a career-high 18.0 points for the year. But fantasy managers should not expect similar postseason numbers with Jalen Brunson (ankle) back in the lineup.

New York Knicks forwards OG Anunoby (thumb) and Josh Hart (knee) will play on Friday against the Cavaliers. Anunoby and Hart weren't available for Thursday's loss to the Detroit Pistons. As a result, Miles McBride and Precious Achiuwa moved into the starting lineup, with the duo combining for 30 points, 12 boards, nine assists, six steals, and three blocks. While the absence of Karl-Anthony Towns (knee) should keep them involved, they aren't expected to be nearly as productive for DFS managers.

New York Knicks forward OG Anunoby (thumb) has been listed as questionable for Friday's contest with the East-leading Cleveland Cavaliers. He's a true game-time decision according to head coach Tom Thibodeau, along with Karl-Anthony Towns (knee), Jalen Brunson (ankle), and Josh Hart (knee). Anunoby was forced to miss their last game due to the same thumb sprain that he's dealing with now. If he's unable to play again, Mikal Bridges would likely soak up a lot of minutes while P.J. Tucker and Landry Shamet get some more run off of the bench. Tucker clocked 27 minutes in their last game and registered three points and six rebounds, so finding a streaming option may be better elsewhere.

New York Knicks forward OG Anunoby (thumb) has been ruled out for Thursday's contest against the Detroit Pistons. He will miss his first game since Feb. 20 due to a thumb sprain. Josh Hart (knee) and Mitchell Robinson (ankle) have also been ruled out for Thursday's action, which should significantly increase Precious Achiuwa's playing time. Miles McBride and Landry Shamet are also expected to receive more opportunities in a favorable fantasy matchup against a team that ranks eighth in pace while holding a mediocre defensive rating.
