Mikal Bridges amassed 17 points (7-of-10 FGs), two rebounds, five assists, one steal and three three-pointers in Monday’s Game 1 win over the 76ers.

The three-pointer that Bridges hit with 4:10 remaining in the fourth quarter of the Knicks’ Game 5 win over the Hawks on April 28 may not have seemed like much to most observers. However, his efficiency has improved immensely since that shot. After scoring 24 points in the Game 6 rout of the Hawks, Bridges got his second round off to a good start, shooting 70 percent from the field overall and 3-of-5 from beyond the arc. Given the amount of attention that Jalen Brunson and Karl-Anthony Towns will receive from Philadelphia’s defense, Bridges’ ability to hit open shots will be a key factor in this series.
Karl-Anthony Towns

NYK Center-Forward #32

Karl-Anthony Towns accounted for 17 points (7-of-11 FGs), six rebounds, six assists, two blocks and three three-pointers in Monday’s Game 1 win over the 76ers.

Due to early foul trouble and the game getting out of hand by halftime, Towns only played 20 minutes in Game 1. The ability of him and Mitchell Robinson (two points, four rebounds and one assist in 12 minutes) to defend Joel Embiid without fouling will be a key factor in this series. Both teams getting into early foul trouble on Monday didn’t matter much, but the Knicks can’t expect to dodge that bullet consistently. Game 2 is on Wednesday night.
OG Anunoby

NYK Forward-Guard #8

OG Anunoby finished Monday’s Game 1 win over the 76ers with 18 points (7-of-8 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), three rebounds, one assist, one block and two three-pointers.

Dominant for most of the Knicks’ first-round series against the Hawks, Anunoby only missed one shot from the field in Monday’s series opener. His efficiency as a scorer makes the Knicks a formidable team, regardless of who they’re matched up with. Anunoby played 30 minutes in Game 1, as the outcome was not in doubt after halftime. The Knicks will look to take a 2-0 series lead when they host Game 2 on Wednesday.
Jalen Brunson

NYK Guard #11

Jalen Brunson tallied 35 points (12-of-18 FGs, 8-of-8 FTs), one rebound, three assists, two steals and three three-pointers in Monday’s Game 1 win over the 76ers.

Brunson’s three-pointer with three-tenths of a second remaining in the second quarter capped a 74-point half for the Knicks, removing any potential post-halftime drama. Playing against a 76ers team that appeared fatigued after going the distance in its first-round series, Brunson did most of what he wanted offensively while not having his defensive chops challenged very often. He and the Knicks are likely expecting a much tougher challenge in Game 2 on Wednesday night.
Jeremy Sochan

NYK Forward #20

Jeremy Sochan (hamstring) is available for Monday’s Game 1 against the 76ers.

Sochan is good to go after initially being listed as probable due to tightness in his left hamstring. He was not in the rotation for the Knicks’ first-round series against the Hawks, and that’s unlikely to change in Round 2.
Jeremy Sochan

NYK Forward #20

Jeremy Sochan (hamstring) is probable to play against the 76ers on Monday.

Sochan hasn’t logged many significant minutes for the Knicks during the postseason thus far, making his injury status for Monday’s opening game of the Eastern Conference Semifinals likely unimpactful. Nonetheless, he’ll provide defensive versatility on the wing, should he see the floor.
OG Anunoby

NYK Forward-Guard #8

OG Anunoby added 29 points (11-of-14 FGs, 3-of-5 FTs), seven rebounds, two assists, four steals, one block and four three-pointers in the win over the Hawks on Thursday.

Anunoby’s 14-point first quarter helped set the tone for what would be a great performance by him, and a dominant win for the Knicks. A blowout victory limited him to just 27 minutes, but in his time on the floor, he filled it up from beyond the arc and captured his third 20-point game of the series. The veteran wing also collected five stocks in what was a fantastic defensive performance from New York. The Knicks will await the winner of the Celtics-76ers series.
Karl-Anthony Towns

NYK Center-Forward #32

Karl-Anthony Towns amassed 12 points (1-of-4 FGs, 10-of-10 FTs), 11 rebounds, 10 assists, three steals and one block in Thursday’s win over the Hawks.

Towns did a bit of everything for the Knicks in their one-sided win over the Hawks. In just 18 minutes, the veteran center posted team-highs in assists and rebounds, while his great production at the charity stripe led him to the triple-double. Like many other Knicks players, Towns’ defensive stats were also impressive; he notched four stocks on that end of the floor to help round out what was a fine overall performance. He finished the series with two triple-doubles.
Mikal Bridges

NYK Guard-Forward #25

Mikal Bridges totaled 24 points (10-of-12 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), five rebounds, three assists, one block and two three-pointers in the win over the Hawks on Thursday.

Bridges was one of several Knicks players to perform well offensively on Thursday. He missed only two shots in his 27 minutes on the floor, and went perfect from beyond the arc before finishing as one of two New York players with at least 20 points. The scoring outburst was a welcome one, as Bridges had not reached double figures in points since Game 2. The Knicks will hope he can remain hot when they open up the second round against either the Celtics or the 76ers.
Mitchell Robinson

NYK Center-Forward #23

Mitchell Robinson and Dyson Daniels were ejected during second quarter of Thursday’s game.

Robinson and Daniels got tangled up as OG Anunoby attempted a free throw during the second quarter of Thursday’s game. Shoving ensued from multiple players on each team as the situation briefly escalated. Both players were eventually ejected for their roles, leaving each team without key defenders.
