OG Anunoby

NYK Forward-Guard #8

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

OG Anunoby tallied 11 points (3-of-11 FGs, 4-of-6 FTs), eight rebounds, three steals, one block and one three-pointer in Saturday’s Game 5 win over the Spurs.

After totaling 51 points in Games 3 and 4, Anunoby entered Game 5 in the mix for NBA Finals MVP. However, he struggled for most of the night, and Jalen Brunson going off for 45 points put to rest any conversations about who would take home the Bill Russell Award. Even with the subpar Game 5, Anunoby’s play throughout the Knicks’ title run cemented his status as one of the top two-way players in the NBA. He can offer top-50 fantasy value during the regular season, even threatening top-25 status, and he’s surpassed 65 games each of the last two seasons.
Josh Hart

NYK Guard #3

Josh Hart accumulated 13 points (4-of-11 FGs, 2-of-3 FTs), 11 rebounds, two assists and three three-pointers in Saturday’s Game 5 win over the Spurs.

Hart finished Saturday’s win with his fourth double-double of the players, reaching double figures in points for the second time in three games. In fact, remove Games 3 and 5, and he totaled nine points in the other three contests. However, Hart’s most important contributions rarely come in the points category, as evidenced by his 11 rebounds on Saturday. Also, his 3-of-6 night from beyond the arc was huge, as the Knicks struggled to get going as a whole. Because of inconsistent scoring, he can be undervalued in category leagues, but Hart has provided top-100 value. There’s no reason why he can’t do that again in 2026-27.
Karl-Anthony Towns

NYK Center-Forward #32

Karl-Anthony Towns recorded two points (1-of-7 FGs), 10 rebounds, one assist, three steals and one block in Saturday’s Game 5 win over the Spurs.

For the second consecutive game, Towns struggled with foul trouble on Saturday. While he was productive as a rebounder and defender in his 23 minutes, extended bench time robbed KAT of his offensive rhythm. However, this did not keep the Knicks from winning their first NBA title since 1973. And even with the poor individual finish, Towns’ play throughout New York’s title run may boost his value in fantasy drafts. The Knicks were most lethal when more of the offense ran through KAT, which may be an approach head coach Mike Brown takes in 2026-27. Using a late-first round pick on Towns in standard league drafts would not be a reach.
Mikal Bridges

NYK Guard-Forward #25

Mikal Bridges notched 14 points (5-of-10 FGs, 1-of-2 FTs), two rebounds, four assists, one block and three three-pointers in Saturday’s Game 5 win over the Spurs.

After totaling nine points in Games 3 and 4 of the NBA Finals, Bridges cracked double figures in Saturday’s series clincher. On a night when Karl-Anthony Towns and OG Anunoby shot a combined 4-of-18 from the field, with the former fouling out, Bridges’ contributions were needed, even if they weren’t extraordinary. Looking ahead to next season, his availability is what gives Bridges value, especially in category leagues. However, the 2025-26 regular season may lead to him going a little later in drafts after many managers were burned by his struggles.
Jalen Brunson

NYK Guard #11

Jalen Brunson finished Saturday’s Game 5 win over the Spurs with 45 points (14-of-27 FGs, 13-of-15 FTs), three rebounds, three assists, two steals and four three-pointers.

As he has done many times since he arrived in New York, Brunson shouldered a significant amount of the scoring workload on a night when many of his teammates struggled. The captain scored 29 points after halftime, becoming the first player in Knicks franchise history to score 40 points or more in an NBA Finals game. Unsurprisingly, Brunson was named NBA Finals Most Valuable Player. Looking ahead to next season, Brunson has top-25 fantasy potential, even if he did not reach those heights in 2025-26. However, the rotation and responsibilities should be locked in more than they were in head coach Mike Brown’s first season at the helm.
Mitchell Robinson

NYK Center-Forward #23

Mitchell Robinson (finger) is available for Saturday’s Game 5 against the Spurs.

Robinson returns to the injury report for Game 5 of the NBA Finals but he is available to play. The Knicks ' big man logged 13 minutes in Game 4 and grabbed five rebounds. Robinson will continue to have a similar role as New York looks to close out the series.
Karl-Anthony Towns

NYK Center-Forward #32

Karl-Anthony Towns added 13 points (4-of-5 FGs, 4-of-4 FTs), 10 rebounds, two assists and one three-pointer in Wednesday’s win over the Spurs.

Towns battled early foul trouble in Game 4 but showed up for his team when it mattered most. He logged just 18 minutes but scored a couple of big baskets in the fourth quarter as the Knicks mounted their comeback, and finished the period as a team-best plus-21. The veteran center earned his third double-double of the series despite the low minutes total on Wednesday. He’ll have an opportunity to tally a fourth when the Knicks attempt to close out the Spurs on Saturday.
Jalen Brunson

NYK Guard #11

Jalen Brunson tallied 36 points (12-of-25 FGs, 9-of-11 FTs), five rebounds, seven assists, three steals and three three-pointers in the win over the Spurs on Wednesday.

Brunson put together a complete game on Wednesday, posting series-highs in points, field-goal percentage, and assists, while totaling his fewest turnovers. He got going with a 15-point second quarter, which he carried over into a productive 17-point second half. But even without looking at the numbers, he came up big for the Knicks throughout the fourth quarter, especially late, as he made multiple big baskets to keep New York within striking distance before OG Anunoby’s game-winning shot. Brunson has now scored 30 or more points in three of the four games — he’ll have a chance for a fourth on Saturday.
OG Anunoby

NYK Forward-Guard #8

OG Anunoby finished Wednesday’s win over the Spurs with 33 points (10-of-15 FGs, 6-of-6 FTs), four rebounds, one assist, one steal, one block and seven three-pointers.

Anunoby was stellar again, following a series-best 28-point performance with 33 points and a game-winning shot. The go-ahead basket came in the closing seconds of the fourth quarter when the Knicks trailed the Spurs 105-106. Jalen Brunson missed a deep three-pointer, which Anunoby tracked down and tipped in with 1.2 seconds remaining. Before the tip-in, the one-time NBA champion had an efficient 31 points, largely due to his seven threes. After trailing by as many as 29 points and completing the comeback, New York will have a chance to end the series and win a championship on Saturday.
Jalen Brunson

NYK Guard #11

Jalen Brunson led the Knicks with 32 points (11-of-25 FGs, 7-of-8 FTs), five rebounds, five assists, three three-pointers and five turnovers in a 115-111 loss to the Spurs in Game 3 of the NBA Finals on Monday.

Brunson had his best offensive performance of the series, but that added success didn’t result in the Knicks getting another win. It was their first loss since Game 3 against the Hawks in the first round, making it one of the longest winning streaks in postseason history. Even though the streak is over, the Knicks still lead the series 2-1 and hold homecourt advantage in the series. Brunson was still able to make more magical plays at the end of the game, and they’ll need that to continue in Game 4 on Thursday if they want to get their first home win in the NBA Finals since 1999.
