OG Anunoby

NYK Forward-Guard #8

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

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.
OG Anunoby

NYK Forward-Guard #8

OG Anunoby (ankle) is not on the injury report for Saturday’s Game 1 against the Hawks.

Anunoby sprained his left ankle during the Knicks’ April 10 win over the Raptors, sitting out the regular-season finale against the Hornets two days later. He’s good to go for Saturday’s series opener, and the Knicks will have a clean injury report as Tyler Kolek is also available.
Jose Alvarado

NYK Guard #5

Jose Alvarado accounted for 16 points (6-of-16 FGs), five rebounds, seven assists, two steals, one block and four three-pointers in Sunday’s loss to the Hornets.

Having fallen out of the Knicks’ rotation recently, Alvarado started Sunday’s regular-season finale and logged 34 minutes. Acquired from the Pelicans at a time when the Knicks were shorthanded on the perimeter, his opportunities may be limited during the playoffs. That said, Alvarado does not need much time to be a nuisance on the defensive end of the floor, so there may still be a role for him in the Knicks’ first-round series against the Hawks.
Miles McBride

NYK Guard #2

Miles McBride produced 21 points (8-of-15 FGs, 1-of-2 FTs), three rebounds, one assist, one steal and four three-pointers in Sunday’s loss to the Hornets.

Among the players expected to be in the Knicks’ postseason rotation, McBride was one of the few to play credible minutes on Sunday. And to the delight of head coach Mike Brown and his staff, Deuce looked sharp in his 24 minutes on the court. Given the amount of time he missed following sports hernia surgery, that’s more important than the stat line that he recorded. The Knicks will face the Hawks in the first round, which begins next weekend.
Landry Shamet

NYK Guard #44

Landry Shamet (knee) is out for Sunday’s game against the Hornets.

Shamet has been added to the lengthy list of Knicks players who won’t play in a game that won’t affect the team’s playoff seeding. His absence frees up playing time for Mohamed Diawara and Pacôme Dadiet, with the former offering a higher ceiling for those in active fantasy leagues.
Miles McBride

NYK Guard #2

Miles McBride (pelvis) is not on the injury report for Sunday’s game against the Hornets.

McBride did not play in Friday’s win over the Raptors, as it was the second in as many nights for the Knicks. With Jalen Brunson already ruled out, more of the offense should run through McBride in Sunday’s regular-season finale.
