OG Anunoby DVOA, Advanced Stats, & Fantasy Rankings

New York Knicks guard/forward OG Anunoby (elbow) is questionable for Thursday's matchup against Indiana. He's dealing with right elbow inflammation and might be kept off the court for a third straight game. Anunoby has suffered the injury blow after enjoying a hugely impressive start to life in the Big Apple. He's averaged 15.6 points, 4.6 rebounds, and 1.8 steals as a Knick, going 12-2 with his new team. Anunoby's spot in the starting unit has been filled by Precious Achiuwa, who's begun to offer quite a bit of value to fantasy managers. The 24-year-old also benefits from Julius Randle's (shoulder) absence and was even among the team leaders in playing time with 40:15 on Tuesday versus Utah.

New York Knicks head coach Tom Thibodeau says forward OG Anunoby (elbow) is out for Tuesday's matchup versus the Utah Jazz. Anunoby was a late scratch for Monday's rout of the Charlotte Hornets due to inflammation in his right elbow, and he should be considered day-to-day ahead of Thursday's contest against the Indiana Pacers when the Knicks continue their six-game homestand. Precious Achiuwa and Josh Hart started on Monday and should do so again on Tuesday.

New York Knicks forward OG Anunoby (elbow) has been ruled out against the Charlotte Hornets on Monday due to right elbow inflammation. This will be the 26-year-old's first missed game as a member of the Knicks for something other than traveling to join the team when he was first traded. Anunoby has been a tremendous addition as the team has gone 12-2 since he's stepped on the court with them. In that span, he's averaged 15.6 points, 4.6 rebounds, 1.5 assists, 1.8 steals, 1.1 blocks, and 1.4 turnovers per game. While he's out, Donte DiVincenzo and Josh Hart will likely see the biggest increase in usage. Precious Achiuwa is also set to start since Julius Randle (shoulder) is out of the lineup. All of whom can be solid streaming options.

New York Knicks forward OG Anunoby led the team in scoring on Thursday, putting up 26 points along with six steals in the team's 122-84 blowout win over the Denver Nuggets. This was just the second time in 13 games with the Knicks that Anunoby scored at least 20 points and the fourth time he made three or more three-pointers. The Knicks' defense was already one of the NBA's best this season, and adding an elite wing defender like Anunoby has only made them scarier on that end. He'll look to continue his strong play on Saturday against the Heat.

New York Knicks forward OG Anunoby made his team debut during Monday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. It looks like the Knicks got exactly what they needed as Anunoby displayed a strong defensive ability with reliable catch-and-shoot accuracy. He finished Monday's game with 17 points, six rebounds, and one assist with three 3-pointers in the victory. The hope is that Anunoby will continue to do better once he gets more comfortable with his new teammates.
