OG Anunoby Starting on Tuesday
New York Knicks forward OG Anunoby (hamstring) will start Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Finals on Tuesday against the Cleveland Cavaliers, Ian Begley of SNY reports. Due to a hamstring injury, the 28-year-old missed the last two games of the second-round series matchup with Philadelphia, but he has been cleared to return to the lineup against Cleveland. Miles McBride will drop to the second unit to accommodate Anunoby's return. Anunoby has played some of the best basketball of his career this postseason, averaging 21.4 points, 7.5 rebounds, 1.1 blocks, and 1.9 steals.

Karl-Anthony Towns Making an Impact as Playmaker in Playoffs
New York Knicks forward/center Karl-Anthony Towns has taken his game to a new level as a playmaker in the 2026 NBA playoffs. Through the first two rounds of action, Towns is averaging 6.6 assists per game -- more than double his regular-season average of 3.0. During the regular season, he finished with double-digit assists just once but has done so three times already in 10 playoff games. The Knicks have a perfect 7-0 record in the playoffs when Towns dishes out at least five assists. His efforts as a playmaker have helped the Knicks build a seven-game winning streak heading into the Eastern Conference Finals, where Towns is expected to maintain a key role.

OG Anunoby Expected to Be Ready for Game 1 of East Finals
New York Knicks forward OG Anunoby (hamstring) is expected to be healthy for the start of the Eastern Conference Finals, Ian Begley of SNY reports. "OG Anunoby will play in Game 1," Begley said on Monday. "I feel very comfortable saying that, just because of where this thing was in the day or two days after it happened." Anunoby, who is chasing his second championship ring, missed the last two games of New York's second-round sweep against the Philadelphia 76ers. In eight postseason appearances, Anunoby has impressed with high-level production, averaging 21.4 points, 7.5 rebounds, 1.1 blocks, and 1.9 steals per game. His return to action would send Miles McBride back to the second unit.

Josh Hart Helps Knicks Reach East Finals
New York Knicks guard/forward Josh Hart (thumb) recorded 17 points, nine rebounds, one assist, one steal, one block, and four three-pointers in Sunday's 144-114 Game 4 win over the Philadelphia 76ers. The veteran wing shot 6-for-10 from the field, 4-for-6 from deep, and 1-for-1 at the line across 29 minutes as New York completed the sweep. Hart had been on the injury report with a thumb issue earlier in the series, but his shot looked fine in the clincher. His rebounding remains the bankable playoff piece, and the improved perimeter shooting gives him a cleaner path to fantasy value when New York's offense is this spaced out.

Karl-Anthony Towns Logs Sixth Double-Double of Postseason
New York Knicks forward/center Karl-Anthony Towns recorded his sixth double-double of the 2026 NBA Playoffs on Sunday, playing his part in a 144-114 blowout win over the Philadelphia 76ers with 17 points, four rebounds, 10 assists, and two blocks. Towns did all of that in just 20 minutes, finishing with a 5-for-7 record from the field. He was 2-for-3 from downtown and 5-for-6 at the free-throw line. New York was completely dominant in this series, allowing the team to limit Towns' workload to 23.3 minutes per game. Yet he still averaged nearly a triple-double, tallying 15.5 points, 8.0 rebounds, and 7.5 assists. Towns should be fresh and ready for the Eastern Conference Finals, which may not start for a while due to the competitive nature of the Pistons-Cavaliers series.
