NYK • Small Forward and Power Forward • #8

Anunoby had a brutal night in his first game back from a toe injury, scoring eight points on 3-of-13 shooting in Thursday’s loss to the Pistons. He was much sharper against the Rockets, shooting 50 percent from the field while also recording four steals. Jalen Brunson and Karl-Anthony Towns may be the headliners, but the Knicks are at their best when Anunoby is aggressive and efficient as a scorer. He’ll look to end Week 17 on a high note when the Knicks visit the Bulls on Sunday.

Anunoby was back in the Knicks’ lineup after a four-game absence, and he certainly looked rusty from beyond the arc. The Knicks’ wing shot 1-of-8 from deep, and even worse for fantasy managers was the lack of rebounds and assists. Anunoby matched his career-high with four blocked shots, but fantasy managers will hope for better from him when the Knicks host the Rockets on Saturday.

Anunoby is back after missing the Knicks’ final four games before the All-Star break. His return pushes Landry Shamet to the bench, eliminating most of the reserve wing’s fantasy value.

Anunoby was initially listed as questionable for this game but is now expected to play. He missed the final four games before the All-Star break, which allowed Landry Shamet to start in his place. Shamet will return to the bench with Anunoby expected back.

Anunoby missed the Knicks’ final four games before the All-Star break, with Landry Shamet providing solid value as the replacement in the starting lineup. Shamet should get another start if Anunoby cannot play against the team with the East’s best record.

Anunoby is set to miss his fourth game in a row with a toe injury. Landry Shamet has started the last two games with Anunoby out and had 17 points and four three-pointers in Tuesday’s OT loss to the Pacers. Shamet could be worth streaming if he starts again and Mohamed Diawara should see more minutes off the bench.

Tuesday’s game will be the third that Anunoby has missed with a toe injury. Landry Shamet replaced him in the lineup for Sunday’s win over the Celtics and may retain that role. If so, Shamet would be worth streaming. Also, look for rookie Mohamed Diawara to pick up additional minutes off the bench.

Anuoby will miss a second consecutive game with a toe injury. Mohamed Diawara started Friday’s loss to the Pistons but offered little streaming value. If the Celtics stick with two bigs in their starting lineup, the Knicks could choose to start Mitchell Robinson alongside Karl-Anthony Towns. Whether he starts or comes off the bench, Robinson is valuable because of his rebounds and blocks.

Anunoby had a 20/8/4 line in Wednesday’s win over the Nuggets, but somewhere along the way he injured his toe. The 28-year-old small forward was initially probable for Friday’s game in Detroit, but was downgraded to questionable before being ruled out. The Knicks promptly lost by 38 points without him. Mohamed Diawara would likely start if Anunoby is ruled out again, but the game against the Celtics could also get out of hand if the Knicks are missing multiple starters again.

Anunoby will miss his 13th game of the season on Friday, as he battles a toe injury. The veteran wing has been a staple in the Knicks’ starting unit since being traded to New York during the 2023-24 season. Without him, the Knicks’ path to a ninth straight win becomes more difficult. Mohamed Diawara will start and could see his opportunities increase.

Anunoby’s status doesn’t bode well for his availability, and if he’s sidelined, Mohamed Diawara could join the starting five. More minutes should be available for Landry Shamet, and Josh Hart should handle an increased workload.

Anunoby is managing soreness in his right toe, but it isn’t expected to keep him out of the lineup against Detroit. He is averaging 21.7 points, 5.4 rebounds, 3.0 assists, 2.0 steals and 3.1 triples while shooting 58.6 percent over the Knicks’ last seven games and will look to stay hot in this one.

Anunoby has scored 19 points or more in each of his last five games, scoring 20 or more in four. Outside of the first game of the Knicks’ eight-game win streak, a 54-point blowout of the Nets on January 21, OG has been provided outstanding fantasy value during this run. According to Basketball Monster, he has offered second-round per-game value during the win streak

Anunoby led three Knicks with at least 20 points in Sunday’s victory, and he’s been on a nice run recently. The 6-foot-7 forward has scored at least 23 points in three of his last four appearances, providing top-10 value in eight-cat formats during this stretch, according to Basketball Monster. The Knicks play four games in Week 16, starting with the Wizards on Tuesday.

Anunoby has now had at least 23 points and at least two made three-pointers in three of his last four games. The 28-year-old small forward is perhaps more known for his defense, but he has an excellent offensive game that includes a solid outside shot. Anunoby has been instrumental in the Knicks’ current five-game winning streak. He’s provided fourth-round per game value over the last two weeks. Anunoby and the Knicks will look to stay hot against the Lakers on Sunday.

After racking up seven turnovers in Tuesday’s win over the Kings, Anunoby played a far cleaner game on Wednesday. Not only did the Knicks forward finish turnover-free, but the eight “stocks” were a season high. Anunoby’s six steals were one shy of his career-high, and the 26 points matched his season-high. Wednesday was an excellent night for OG and those who have him rostered.

The Knicks had to overcome 18 total turnovers to get a much-needed victory over the Kings on Tuesday. No one was a bigger culprit than Anunoby, who had seven turnovers in the loss. All of a sudden, the 28-year-old small forward has 19 turnovers in his last five games. It’s hurt his value as he’s provided just 13th-round per game value over the last two weeks. Anunoby will look to bounce back against the Raptors Wednesday.

After totaling 14 points on 5-of-12 shooting in his prior two appearances, Anunoby snapped out of his mini-slump in a big way on Saturday. Shooting 66.7 percent from the field, the Knicks’ wing was a blocked shot shy of a complete stat line. Anunoby’s production helped compensate for Karl-Anthony Towns’ (10/6/1/0/1 with one three-pointer) poor afternoon, as he played 16 minutes before fouling out. The Knicks play four games in Week 15, starting with the Kings on Tuesday.

For the first time since Halloween, Anunoby has recorded back-to-back 20-point games. He didn’t shoot the ball well against the Suns, but the rebounds, assists and steals should help compensate for the field-goal percentage. The assists and steals have been down recently, which has led to Anunoby being a ninth-round player in eight-cat formats over the past two weeks. However, his season-long value continues to exceed his Yahoo! ADP (66).

Anunoby has scored 20 points or more in three of his last five games, but he hasn’t produced consecutive 20-point efforts since the end of October. While he did miss nine games in November/December due to injury, he has tended to take a back seat offensively more often than not. That wasn’t the case on Thursday, as Jalen Brunson’s absence led to Anunoby having his second game with at least 20 attempts this season. If Brunson’s forced to miss multiple games, Anunoby’s fantasy value may receive the most significant boost of the Knicks’ four healthy starters.

Anunoby missed all six of his three-point attempts, contributing to an 8-of-41 night for the Knicks as a team. That ends a run of three consecutive games with at least two three-pointers. Even with Wednesday’s poor showing, Anunoby has shot 49.5 percent from the field over the past two weeks. Anunoby and the Knicks will look to end their road trip on a high note when they visit the Warriors on Thursday.

Anunoby’s 24 points were the most he’s scored in a game in nearly a month, having last hit that number in a December 13 win over the Magic. Having shot 8-of-21 from three in his first five games of the month, the Knicks wing was 4-of-7 against the Trail Blazers. Already a top-50 player in nine-cat formats, Anunoby is closing in on that threshold in eight-cat. The Knicks play three games in Week 13.

Anunoby only needed ten official shots from the field to record his first 20-point game in six outings. In fact, since the NBA Cup, he has only recorded two 20-point games. Anunoby doesn’t have to be a prolific scorer to offer excellent fantasy value, but being consistently involved in the offense does raise his ceiling. Despite shooting less than 43 percent from the field, Anunoby has been close to a top-50 player over the past two weeks.

Anunoby recorded his fourth double-double of the season on Friday, but he remains in a shooting slump. Over his last five games, the Knicks’ wing has shot 35.5 percent from the field. The good news for fantasy managers is that Anunoby’s overall production has preserved most of his fantasy value. However, as a top-75 fantasy player during this slump, OG would be far more valuable with improved shooting.

After a first quarter in which he missed all four of his shot attempts, Anunoby flipped a switch in the second. He shot 5-of-7 from the field, with all five makes occurring in the restricted area, and scored 16 points in the period. While the overall field-goal percentage wasn’t good, Anunoby’s overall stat line was one that many fantasy managers will take. He’s only shot 35.6 percent from the field over the past two weeks, which is why he’s ranked outside the top-100 in eight-cat formats during this period.

Anunoby may not have shot the ball as well as he’s capable of, but he came up with some huge plays in crunch time to salvage the victory. After rebounding a Jalen Brunson miss and making two free throws with 29.6 seconds remaining to give New York a one-point lead, his steal of a Trae Young pass on the ensuing possession led to two more free throws. With Josh Hart (ankle) sidelined for New York’s three-game road trip, Anunoby’s production outside of points may receive a boost. If so, that would be great for those who have him rostered.

Anunoby will return following a one-game absence, and he should be expected to slot back into the starting five. With Guerschon Yabusele (illness) questionable, Anunoby could be leaned on more heavily.

New York will be thin at forward on Tuesday, which means Mohamed Diawara should see increased run. Despite a potential uptick in playing time, Diawara is unlikely to do enough to be worth streaming in standard leagues.

Anunoby has shot 41.4 percent from the field over the last two weeks, which explains why his season-long fantasy value has slipped just outside of the top-50. However, Sunday’s performance was good, as he shot 50 percent from the field and recorded a complete stat line. Anunoby and the Knicks play three games in Week 10, starting with the Timberwolves on Tuesday.

Anunoby is good to go after initially being questionable for Thursday’s game. With the Knicks hosting the 76ers on Friday, OG’s minutes may be trimmed coming off of Tuesday’s NBA Cup final victory over the Spurs. Mohamed Diawara and Pacôme Dadiet may play rotation minutes on Wednesday, but neither should be streamed.
