OG Anunoby recorded a double-double on Tuesday with 17 points (5-of-8 FGs), 10 rebounds, one assist, two steals, one block and two three-pointers against the Hawks.

Anunoby has been excellent all series, and he has made his presence felt on both ends of the floor. He has averaged 20 points, 9.0 rebounds, 1.4 steals, 1.2 blocks and 2.6 triples while shooting 56.9 percent from the floor through the first five games, which includes a double-double in both Games 4 and 5. He should continue to make a massive impact in Game 6 on Thursday as the Knicks look to close out the series.
Karl-Anthony Towns

NYK Center-Forward #32

Karl-Anthony Towns posted a full line on Tuesday with 16 points (5-of-7 FGs), 14 rebounds, six assists, two steals, two blocks and one three-pointer against the Hawks.

The Hawks haven’t had much of an answer for KAT during this series, but the Knicks have leaned even heavier on him over the last two games, specifically as a playmaker, which has really opened things up for New York. They’ll continue to lean on him in Game 6 on Thursday, which should lead to a lot more box score production for him, and if things go how they did in this game, that’ll be enough to close out the series.
Jalen Brunson

NYK Guard #11

Jalen Brunson led the Knicks with 39 points (15-of-23 FGs, 6-of-8 FTs), three rebounds, eight assists and three three-pointers in a 126-97 win over the Hawks in Game 5 on Tuesday.

Brunson has made some big plays in this series and has had strong stretches, but his production overall has been subpar. However, this was by far his best performance, and the Hawks simply didn’t have an answer. He dominated this game and hit multiple big shots in the fourth quarter to put this game away and give the Knicks all the momentum heading into Game 6. If Brunson is playing at this level, the Knicks will have a chance to make a deep run this postseason.
Josh Hart

NYK Guard #3

Josh Hart tallied 10 points (4-of-10 FGs, 1-of-2 FTs), nine rebounds, three assists, two steals and one three-pointer in Saturday’s Game 4 win over the Hawks.

After getting little production from Hart of Mikal Bridges in Game 3 on Thursday, the Knicks received better efforts from both in Game 4. Hart finished one rebound shy of a double-double, while Bridges (eight points, two rebounds and one assist in 19 minutes) hit a couple of shots early and was nowhere near the liability that he was in Game 3. The Knicks will look to take a 3-2 series lead on Tuesday in New York.
Jalen Brunson

NYK Guard #11

Jalen Brunson (ankle) finished Saturday’s Game 4 win over the Hawks with 19 points (7-of-18 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), three assists, one steal and three three-pointers.

Improved defense and a group effort on the offensive end won the day for the Knicks, helping compensate for a mediocre showing from Brunson. In addition to the low field-goal percentage, the Knicks’ point guard recorded six turnovers. In the 114-98 victory, the Knicks were at their best when more of the action ran through Karl-Anthony Towns, taking some of the pressure off of Brunson. They’ll need to do more of the same in Game 5 on Tuesday.
OG Anunoby

NYK Forward-Guard #8

OG Anunoby amassed 22 points (9-of-16 FGs, 1-of-2 FTs), 10 rebounds, one assist, one steal, one block and three three-pointers in Saturday’s Game 4 win over the Hawks.

After scoring 29 points in Thursday’s Game 3 defeat, Anunoby came through for the Knicks with another solid showing in Game 4. His 22 points led four Knicks starters in double figures, and he finished with his first double-double of these playoffs. Anunoby has corralled at least eight rebounds in all four games of the series, which heads back to New York for Game 5 on Tuesday.
Karl-Anthony Towns

NYK Center-Forward #32

Karl-Anthony Towns accounted for 20 points (6-of-10 FGs, 7-of-9 FTs), 10 rebounds, 10 assists, two steals and one three-pointer in Saturday’s Game 4 win over the Hawks.

The Knicks entered Game 4 needing a win to even the series, and they took care of business impressively. Towns led the way, as a greater effort was made to get him the ball early and often. KAT finished with the first triple-double of his playoff career, and his stat line only lacked a blocked shot. Due to Atlanta’s lack of size and depth in the frontcourt, Towns has a clear advantage, but only if he and the Knicks consistently look to exploit it. Game 5 is on Tuesday in New York.
Karl-Anthony Towns

NYK Center-Forward #32

Karl-Anthony Towns tallied 21 points (7-of-12 FGs, 6-of-6 FTs), 17 rebounds, four assists, two steals, two blocks and one three-pointer in the loss to the Hawks on Thursday.

KAT was quite active throughout Thursday’s game. Offensively, he took advantage of his opportunities by making the majority of his shot attempts and finishing as one of New York’s top passers. Additionally, he cleaned up the glass phenomenally and was disruptive on the defensive end of the floor, as reflected in his four total stocks. The veteran big man was also a team-high plus-22 in his 34 minutes.
OG Anunoby

NYK Forward-Guard #8

OG Anunoby finished Thursday’s loss to the Hawks with 29 points (9-of-16 FGs, 7-of-7 FTs), nine rebounds, one assist, one steal, three blocks and four three-pointers.

Anunoby was one of New York’s most productive players on offense in Game 3. He bounced back from a subpar Game 2 at the charity stripe by knocking down each of his attempts on Thursday, tallied as many three-pointers in Game 3 as he had over the first two games combined, and recorded at least eight rebounds for the third time in the series. Furthermore, Anunoby tied a team-high with four stocks in his 37 minutes. A similar performance from Anunoby in Game 4 on Saturday would benefit the Knicks, as they look to even up the series.
Jalen Brunson

NYK Guard #11

Jalen Brunson totaled 26 points (11-of-23 FGs, 4-of-5 FTs), three rebounds, four assists and two steals in Thursday’s loss to the Hawks.

As usual, Brunson was one of the main contributors on the offensive end for the Knicks. He led the team in field-goal attempts by a large margin and finished as New York’s second leading scorer. The veteran point guard failed to convert any of his three-point attempts on Thursday and nearly had as many turnovers as assists. It wasn’t a flawless game by Brunson, but he was still effective. He can be even better on Saturday in Game 4.
