The Knicks’ wings continue to shine in first-year head coach Mike Brown’s system. Anunoby has scored at least 19 points in four of his last five games, and he finished Sunday’s rout a blocked shot shy of a complete stat line. Boasting a Yahoo! ADP of 66, he’s close to providing first-round value in 12-team formats. Mikal Bridges, who’s been just as good as Anunoby, contributed 16 points (6-of-8 FGs), one rebound, five assists and four three-pointers on Sunday. Whether the wing tandem can continue to approach first-round value for the entire season is up for debate. Still, Anunoby and Bridges are capable of exceeding their ADPs by a considerable margin.

Anunoby led six Knicks in double figures with 25 points, his fourth game with at least 20 points this season. A top-40 fantasy player last season, he’s providing top-20 value through the Knicks’ first eight games of 2025-26. Anunoby will look to end Week 3 on a high note when the Knicks host the Nets on Sunday in the fourth of seven straight games that New York will play at home.

After totaling 47 points in two games against the Bulls, Anunoby was comparatively quiet offensively in Monday’s win over the Wizards. However, he did record a season-high five steals, two shy of his career-high and one shy of his high as a Knick. Anunoby has picked up right where he left off last season, providing third-round value in nine-cat formats. The Knicks wings have benefited from the changes made by new head coach Mike Brown, with Anunoby and Mikal Bridges (10/2/4/3/2 with two three-pointers) being excellent value picks in fantasy basketball.

After scoring 24 points in the Knicks’ season-opening win over the Cavaliers, Anunoby fell into a three-game slump, averaging 11.0 points on 29.4 percent shooting. One of the few positives from Friday’s disappointing loss was OG breaking that slump, shooting 75 percent from the field and 5-of-7 from beyond the arc. However, the poor shooting in the three games prior did minimal damage to Anunoby’s fantasy value, as he’s still ranked within the top-40 in nine-cat formats.

There was some concern when Anunoby limped off the Madison Square Garden court with 4:57 remaining in the fourth quarter. However, the Knicks wing was cramping and could have returned to the game if needed. Anunoby’s final stat line wasn’t elite from a fantasy standpoint, as he struggled with his shot after flourishing in Wednesday’s win over the Cavaliers. However, he was one of the Knicks’ defensive stars on Friday. Fantasy managers should anticipate Anunoby being available for Sunday’s game against the Heat.

Anunoby was initially listed as probable, so his availability doesn’t come as a surprise. He should occupy his typical spot in the starting lineup, where he had 24 points and 14 rebounds in the season opener.

Anunoby should be available once again after initially being listed as probable ahead of the season opener. He had 24 points, 14 rebounds, two assists, three steals and one block against Cleveland and should play a significant role once again against Boston.

On a night when Karl-Anthony Towns got into early foul trouble, Anunoby stepped up with an outstanding performance. A factor on both ends of the floor, the Knicks forward benefited from the offensive system implemented by new head coach Mike Brown. Playing at a faster pace allowed the Knicks’ wings to have the ball in their hands more, and their stat lines received welcome boosts. Anunoby had an ADP in the sixties, so those who drafted him may receive significant value if OG can build on Wednesday’s performance.

Anunoby is one of many Knicks on the injury report for Wednesday’s opener. However, the probable tag suggests he’ll be cleared to play. He and fellow wing Mikal Bridges are two players who may benefit from being in Mike Brown’s offensive system, as the ball may be in their hands more than last season under Tom Thibodeau. Anunoby finished last season as a top-40 fantasy player and can provide similar production in 2025-26.

Anunoby is a right-handed shooter, so the sprained left hand was not a significant issue in his first action of this preseason. Like fellow starters Jalen Brunson, Mikal Bridges and Karl-Anthony Towns, he logged 17 minutes on Saturday, and the versatile wing was efficient offensively. Anunoby is one of the players who may benefit from new head coach Mike Brown’s desire to ramp up the pace and ball-movement, whether in transition or the half-court. He finished last season as a top-40 fantasy player, and managers should expect similar production from Anunoby.

Knicks head coach Mike Brown has made one change to the lineup that started Thursday’s win over Philadelphia. Anunoby is available after sitting out the preseason opener with a hand injury, so he assumes his usual starting role, with Pacôme Dadiet returning to the bench. This may be the five that opens the regular season, with Josh Hart assuming the sixth-man role.

Anunoby is dealing with a sprained left hand and will not play in Thursday’s preseason opener. As a result, 2024 first-round pick Pacôme Dadiet will receive the starting nod against the 76ers. Dadiet’s name has come up in trade rumors recently, due to the Knicks’ second apron-induced roster crunch. If the team were to want to keep two of the veterans it signed to camp deals, most notably Landry Shamet and Malcolm Brogdon, they would likely have to trade someone to avoid the second apron. Dadiet has been mentioned due to his likely bringing back the best return in a trade, but he has fans within the organization.

Anunoby was impactful on both ends of the floor Sunday night, but the shot volume may have been a bit low for a player making nearly 67 percent of his attempts. The Knicks wing had four defensive contributions in Game 3, including an emphatic block of an Aaron Nesmith jumper with 3:39 remaining in the fourth quarter and New York leading by four. Sunday’s victory was the latest example of Anunoby not needing to be an offensive focal point to impact the action. He’ll look to do the same in Game 4 on Tuesday.

Anunoby recorded a complete stat line in Friday’s series clincher, emblematic of his impact on both ends of the floor. The four “stocks” were the most he’s recorded in a game since Game 4, when the Knicks wing tallied four steals and one blocked shot. Offensively, Anunoby’s point total was his highest since Game 1, when he scored 29 in the Knicks’ comeback victory. Advancing to the Eastern Conference Finals for the first time since 2000, New York will host Indiana in Game 1 on Wednesday.

It has been a hit-or-miss series for Anunoby. He had 29 points in Game 1 and 20 points in Game 4. He scored a total of 13 points in Games 2, 3 and 5. Which Anunoby shows up in Game 6 could be critical for New York’s chances of closing this series out at home. Of course, they’d much prefer to end things in New York than to have to travel back to Boston for Game 7. Simply put, Anunoby is going to have to be much better on Friday.

Anunoby and Jalen Brunson shot a combined 11-of-20 from three in Game 1, with the former making four of his six three-pointers after halftime. And OG’s performance was a welcome development for the Knicks, given his struggles against the reigning champs during the regular season. Appearing in three of the four games, Anunoby averaged 9.0 points per game on 29.6 percent shooting. The version of Anunoby who showed up on Monday is the one New York will need if they are to have a chance of winning this series. Game 2 is on Wednesday.

With Karl Anthony-Towns scoring just 10 points in a subpar effort in Game 6, Anunoby was one of the Knicks who stepped up to provide offense. While both teams were desperate for scoring, Anunoby’s four three-pointers were crucial for the Knicks. The 27-year-old small forward is a true two-way player, and his impact was also felt on the defensive end with two blocks and three steals. Anunoby will continue to be counted on heavily in the Knicks’ upcoming second-round series against the Celtics.

Anunoby was one of two Knicks starters to shoot 50 percent or better from the field, with Josh Hart being the other. Unfortunately for him, OG only attempted 13 shots, with Jalen Brunson and Mikal Bridges (17/6/2/0/1 with two three-pointers) leading the way with 16 attempts each (they were a combined 11-of-32). Anunoby has also taken on the unenviable task of defending Cade Cunningham more than any other Knick, and he has impacted the Pistons’ point guard’s efficiency. New York will need another strong effort from Anunoby in Game 6 on Thursday.

Like Karl-Anthony Towns, Anunoby’s ability to rebound from a poor Game 2 was a reason why New York took a 2-1 series lead on Thursday. Having attempted just ten shots on Monday, the Knicks’ wing put up 17 in Game 3 and also attempted six free throws. When the Knicks make a concerted effort to share the offensive workload, they’re a difficult team to defend. In addition to the improved offensive output, Anunoby was also responsible for two steals, bringing his total to nine through three games. Game 4 is on Sunday afternoon.

Anunoby came out hot to start Saturday’s series opener, scoring 19 first-half points on 6-of-10 shooting from the field. While his offensive production tailed off after the break, that was not the case for the Knicks’ wing’s defense. Given the task of defending Cade Cunningham, Anunoby made the point guard’s life difficult for most of the evening. And he was outstanding during New York’s 21-0 fourth quarter run, forcing multiple turnovers to get the Knicks out in transition. New York hosts Game 2 on Monday night.

Anunoby and Hart returned from one-game absences against the Cavaliers but will sit for the regular-season finale. Miles McBride and Precious Achiuwa a will likely start, but Landry Shamet will have to provide plenty of support off the bench because of New York’s shortage of wings.

The Knicks are locked into the three-seed in the East, so there may not be much motivation to play the starters other than Mikal Bridges (he has not missed a game this season). Anunoby and Hart sat out Thursday’s loss to the Pistons, resulting in Miles McBride and Precious Achiuwa moving into the starting lineup. They’re the likely replacements if OG and Josh do not play.

Anunoby returned to the Knicks’ lineup after sitting out Thursday’s loss to the Pistons and struggled offensively. Shooting 33.3 percent from the field overall, the Knicks forward was 2-of-9 from beyond the arc. The good news for fantasy managers in active leagues is that Anunoby only committed one turnover. Hence, the field goal percentage was the only category in which they took a hit. The Knicks visit the Nets on Sunday in a regular season finale that won’t impact the standings, as New York secured the three-seed due to Indiana’s loss to Orlando.

Outside of Chicago’s Coby White, not many players have been as hot as Anunoby has been recently. He’s scored 23 points or more in 10 straight games, including three 30-point outings. Anunoby was rolling during the third quarter of Sunday’s victory, scoring 19 points on 7-of-7 shooting from the field. His hot streak was the perfect time for Anunoby managers whose leagues ended on Sunday. For those whose leagues will be active during Week 23, the Knicks play four games, beginning with the Celtics on Tuesday.

Make it nine straight games with at least 23 points for Anunoby, who was impactful on both ends of the floor in Saturday’s victory. According to Basketball Monster, he’s ranked fourth in eight- and nine-cat formats over the past two weeks. Anunoby’s hot streak occurred at the right time for those who have him on their roster and are looking to win their leagues. The Knicks end Week 22 with a home game against the Suns on Sunday.

In a losing effort, Anunoby extended his streak of games with at least 23 points to eight, extending the most productive stretch of his NBA career. A top-10 player in eight- and nine-cat formats over the past two weeks, the Knicks wing has been outstanding recently. And with Jalen Brunson (ankle) possibly returning this weekend, there will be time to see how he and the “new and improved” Anunoby mesh ahead of the NBA Playoffs.

Anunoby continued his excellent scoring run on Tuesday, extending his streak of games with at least 23 points to seven. The Knicks forward is hitting his stride at the right time as the team pushes ahead toward the postseason. The lone negative for Anunoby on Tuesday was his six turnovers, but high-turnover nights have not been the norm. Over the past two weeks, OG has provided top-5 per-game value in nine-cat formats. The Knicks play three more games during Week 22, which is excellent news for those who have Anunoby rostered.

Anunoby has been outstanding recently, providing top-5 value in nine-cat formats over the past two weeks. He’s scored 23 points or more in six straight games, which is his most productive run of the season to date. With Jalen Brunson (ankle) out, there has been additional room for Anunoby to spread his wings offensively, and those who have him rostered have reaped the rewards. New York begins a four-game Week 22 on Tuesday against the 76ers.

Anunoby has been on a roll recently, averaging 23.5 points per game over the past two weeks. The increased scoring production is why he’s offered first-round value in nine-cat formats with Jalen Brunson (ankle) out of the Knicks’ lineup. Also, he’s recorded at least one steal in 11 straight games, averaging 2.3 per outing. Anunoby and the Knicks end their Week 21 schedule with a home game against Portland on Sunday.
