OG Anunoby produced 14 points (4-of-9 FGs, 4-of-8 FTs), eight rebounds, two assists, two steals, one block and two three-pointers in Monday’s Game 2 loss to the Hawks.

Anunoby had a tough night at the foul line, and every point makes a difference in a game the Knicks lost by one point. There was an injury scare during the second half, but it appeared to be nothing more than Karl-Anthony Towns stepping on Anunoby’s left foot. After spraining his left ankle during Game 1, he played 38 minutes on Monday. He should play similar minutes in Thursday’s Game 3, with the series tied at one game apiece.
Josh Hart

NYK Guard #3

Josh Hart accounted for 15 points (5-of-11 FGs, 4-of-6 FTs), 13 rebounds, six assists, one steal and one three-pointer in Monday’s Game 2 loss to the Hawks.

Hart has recorded double-doubles in each of the Knicks’ first two games of this postseason, while also doing an admirable job of defending Atlanta star forward Jalen Johnson. In Game 2, the Knicks forward’s stat line was missing only a blocked shot, and he shot nearly 50 percent from the field. Hart and the Knicks will look to regain the momentum when the series shifts to Atlanta for Game 3 on Thursday.
Karl-Anthony Towns

NYK Center-Forward #32

Karl-Anthony Towns recorded 18 points (8-of-12 FGs), eight rebounds, two assists, two blocks and two three-pointers in Monday’s Game 2 loss to the Hawks.

Despite shooting nearly 67 percent from the field, Towns only attempted 12 shots in Game 2. That’s one less than his total in Game 1, but that 25-point effort was supplemented by a 10-of-10 night at the foul line. Towns did not attempt a free throw on Monday, and the Knicks need to do a better job of ensuring that he’s getting his touches. Atlanta does not have the size to deal with Towns, especially with Jock Landale (ankle) unavailable, but that doesn’t matter if the Knicks don’t look to exploit the advantage.
Jalen Brunson

NYK Guard #11

Jalen Brunson finished Monday’s Game 2 loss to the Hawks with 29 points (10-of-26 FGs, 5-of-7 FTs), two rebounds, seven assists and four three-pointers.

Brunson may have scored 29 points, but the Hawks made him work for every one. The Knicks’ guard needed 26 field-goal attempts, and he shot 6-of-16 from inside the arc. No other Knick attempted more than 12 shots, something that cannot happen if New York is to play deep into the postseason. Now with the series tied at one game apiece, the scene shifts to Atlanta for Game 3 on Thursday.
OG Anunoby

NYK Forward-Guard #8

OG Anunoby (ankle) is available for Monday’s Game 2 against the Hawks.

Anunoby is good to go after being listed as probable on the initial injury report. He’ll take on his usual role as part of the Knicks’ starting lineup.
OG Anunoby

NYK Forward-Guard #8

OG Anunoby (ankle) is probable for Monday’s Game 2 against the Hawks.

Anunoby sprained his left ankle during the third quarter of Saturday’s series-opening win over the Hawks. The good news was that the Knicks’ wing returned to the game after a brief period on the bench, and Anunoby participated fully in Sunday’s practice. According to Knicks head coach Mike Brown, Anunoby is “good to go” for Game 2. If there are any issues, Landry Shamet and Miles McBride are potential replacements in the starting lineup.
Josh Hart

NYK Guard #3

Josh Hart notched 10 points (4-of-8 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), 14 rebounds, five assists and three steals in Saturday’s Game 1 win over the Hawks.

Hart did a little bit of everything in Game 1, with his stat line only lacking a three-pointer and a blocked shot. The Knicks’ wing exercised discretion as a scorer and was most effective as a rebounder. All 14 of Hart’s rebounds came on the defensive end, helping to eliminate second-chance opportunities for the Hawks. Add in the assists and steals, and this was a fine start to the series for Hart.
OG Anunoby

NYK Forward-Guard #8

OG Anunoby (ankle) amassed 19 points (6-of-9 FGs, 5-of-6 FTs), eight rebounds, one steal and two three-pointers in Saturday’s Game 1 win over the Hawks.

Anunoby had an injury scare during the third quarter of Saturday’s series opener, as he sprained his left ankle on a drive to the basket. While the Knicks forward exited the game immediately, he wasn’t on the bench for long before returning. Anunoby played 38 minutes, and the Knicks will likely need him to take on a similar workload in Game 2 on Monday. If Anunoby is limited or can’t play, Mikal Bridges (11/2/1/1 with one three-pointer) will have to bring more to the table offensively.
Karl-Anthony Towns

NYK Center-Forward #32

Karl-Anthony Towns recorded 25 points (6-of-13 FGs, 10-of-10 FTs), eight rebounds, four assists, one steal, three blocks and three three-pointers in Saturday’s Game 1 win over the Hawks.

Towns started slowly on Saturday, attempting two shots during the first half. The 7-footer was far more impactful after halftime, helping the Knicks push their lead to as much as 18 before holding on. As was the case during the regular season, the Knicks need to keep Towns engaged offensively to reach their full potential. Backup Mitchell Robinson (three points, four rebounds, one assist and two blocks) played 15 minutes off the bench, and there was just one short segment in which he and Towns were on the floor together.
Jalen Brunson

NYK Guard #11

Jalen Brunson finished Saturday’s Game 1 win over the Hawks with 28 points (9-of-22 FGs, 7-of-8 FTs), five rebounds, seven assists, one steal and three three-pointers.

Brunson shot 6-of-18 from inside the arc in Game 1, but an efficient 3-of-4 day from three helped compensate for those struggles. Between Dyson Daniels and Nickeil Alexander-Walker, the Hawks have two perimeter defenders capable of making things difficult for Brunson. However, he still managed to finish Game 1 with 28 points, and the seven assists were countered by just two turnovers. The Knicks will look to take a 2-0 series lead on Monday night.
