OG Anunoby Leads Team In Scoring In Win
OG Anunoby led the team in scoring on Thursday, putting up 26 points along with six steals in the team's 122-84 blowout win over the Denver Nuggets. This was just the second time in 13 games with the Knicks that Anunoby scored at least 20 points and the fourth time he made three or more three-pointers. The Knicks' defense was already one of the NBA's best this season, and adding an elite wing defender like Anunoby has only made them scarier on that end. He'll look to continue his strong play on Saturday against the Heat.

OG Anunoby Good To Go For Game 1
OG Anunoby (thumb) will suit up for Saturday's matchup against the Detroit Pistons. Due to a right thumb sprain, Anunoby sat out two of the final three regular-season games, but the team has not listed him on the injury report ahead of Saturday's Game 1. Anunoby had higher offensive usage late in the regular season and averaged a career-high 18.0 points for the year. But fantasy managers should not expect similar postseason numbers with Jalen Brunson (ankle) back in the lineup.

OG Anunoby, Josh Hart Will Play On Friday
OG Anunoby (thumb) and Josh Hart (knee) will play on Friday against the Cavaliers. Anunoby and Hart weren't available for Thursday's loss to the Detroit Pistons. As a result, Miles McBride and Precious Achiuwa moved into the starting lineup, with the duo combining for 30 points, 12 boards, nine assists, six steals, and three blocks. While the absence of Karl-Anthony Towns (knee) should keep them involved, they aren't expected to be nearly as productive for DFS managers.

OG Anunoby Considered A Game-Time Decision Against Cavaliers
OG Anunoby (thumb) has been listed as questionable for Friday's contest with the East-leading Cleveland Cavaliers. He's a true game-time decision according to head coach Tom Thibodeau, along with Karl-Anthony Towns (knee), Jalen Brunson (ankle), and Josh Hart (knee). Anunoby was forced to miss their last game due to the same thumb sprain that he's dealing with now. If he's unable to play again, Mikal Bridges would likely soak up a lot of minutes while P.J. Tucker and Landry Shamet get some more run off of the bench. Tucker clocked 27 minutes in their last game and registered three points and six rebounds, so finding a streaming option may be better elsewhere.

OG Anunoby Out On Thursday
OG Anunoby (thumb) has been ruled out for Thursday's contest against the Detroit Pistons. He will miss his first game since Feb. 20 due to a thumb sprain. Josh Hart (knee) and Mitchell Robinson (ankle) have also been ruled out for Thursday's action, which should significantly increase Precious Achiuwa's playing time. Miles McBride and Landry Shamet are also expected to receive more opportunities in a favorable fantasy matchup against a team that ranks eighth in pace while holding a mediocre defensive rating.
