Knicks' OG Anunoby: Day-to-day with hamstring strain
Rotowire
Anunoby was diagnosed with a right hamstring strain and is day-to-day moving forward, Shams Charania of ESPN reports Thursday.
Anunoby tweaked his hamstring late in Game 2 and will be questionable for Game 3 on Friday. He's been outstanding in the playoffs with 21.4 points per contest. If Anunoby misses time, the Knicks could lean more on Miles McBride, Jordan Clarkson and Landry Shamet. However, per Stefan Bondy of The New York Post, Anunoby's hamstring strain is considered "very, very minor."

Knicks' OG Anunoby: Exits game with leg issue
Rotowire
Anunoby registered 24 points (9-17 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 4-4 FT), five rebounds, two assists, one block and four steals across 37 minutes during Wednesday's 108-102 victory over Philadelphia in Game 2 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals. However, he seemed to suffer a leg injury late in the game.
Anunoby seemed to tweak something in the back of his right leg with three minutes remaining in the match, and after subbing out, he did not return to the game. Coach Mike Brown declined to provide an update on Anunoby's leg issue after the game, simply saying, "he looked like he was hopping," per Kristian Winfield of the New York Daily News. For now, Anunoby should be considered questionable for Game 3 in Philly on Friday.

Rotowire
Anunoby amassed 18 points (7-8 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, one assist and one block in 30 minutes during Monday's 137-98 win over the 76ers in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals.
Anunoby needed only seven field-goal attempts to record 18 points in this blowout win, finishing as New York's second-leading scorer while playing just three quarters. The 28-year-old forward has been on a tear of late, scoring 17-plus points in five straight games while chipping in at least one block in each of the last six. He'll look to stay productive on both ends of the floor as the Knicks aim to take a 2-0 series lead in Game 2 on Wednesday.

Knicks' OG Anunoby: Cleared to play Monday
Rotowire
Anunoby (ankle) is available for Monday's Game 2 of the Eastern Conference first-round series against the Hawks, James L. Edwards III of The Athletic reports.
As expected, Anunoby will shed his probable tag due to a left ankle sprain and suit up as the Knicks look to take a 2-0 series lead. In Game 1 on Saturday, the forward totaled 18 points (6-9 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 4-4 FT), eight rebounds and one steal across 38 minutes and shouldn't face any minutes restriction Monday.

Knicks' OG Anunoby: Probable for Game 2
Rotowire
Anunoby (ankle) is listed as probable for Monday's Game 2 of the Eastern Conference first-round playoff series against the Hawks.
Anunoby is officially on the injury report with a left ankle sprain, though the designation is likely a carryover from the injury that cost him the regular-season finale. Despite the "probable" tag, there shouldn't be much concern regarding his availability for Game 2 after he logged 38 minutes and looked plenty mobile in Saturday's series opener. The 28-year-old forward was highly effective in that win, providing 18 points and eight rebounds while playing his signature elite defense. Barring an unexpected setback, Anunoby should be back in his usual starting role as the Knicks look to take a 2-0 series lead.

Knicks' OG Anunoby: Efficient vs. Atlanta
Rotowire
Anunoby ended with 18 points (6-9 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 4-4 FT), eight rebounds and one steal across 38 minutes during Saturday's 113-102 victory over Atlanta in Game 1 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.
Anunoby didn't have an eye-popping stat line for Saturday's win, but he was effective on the defensive boards and was efficient with the few shots he took to finish as the Knicks' third-leading scorer behind Jalen Brunson (28 points) and Karl-Anthony Towns (25 points). Anunoby may be known more for his defensive prowess, so it's an added bonus for the Knicks when he can produce on the offensive side of the floor and take some pressure of the shoulders of Brunson and Towns.

Rotowire
Anunoby logged 17 points (6-10 FG, 5-9 3Pt), three rebounds, two assists and one block over 39 minutes during the Knicks' 114-103 loss to the Hornets on Thursday.
Anunoby did most of his scoring damage from beyond the arc in Tuesday's loss, finishing as the Knicks' second-leading scorer behind Jalen Brunson (26 points).

Anunoby closed with 16 points (7-13 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 1-2 FT), three rebounds, one assist, one block and two steals across 35 minutes during Friday's 93-92 win over the Nets.
Even though Karl-Anthony Towns led the way for the Knicks in this low-scoring affair, Anunoby still found a way to leave his mark and post a solid performance across the board. The veteran forward went through a slump right after the All-Star break, but it's safe to say that's no longer an issue. He's averaging 19.5 points, 5.4 rebounds, 1.9 assists and 1.5 steals per game while shooting 44.8 percent from three-point range in 11 outings since the beginning of March.

Karl-Anthony Towns (knee) didn't suit up Friday, which gave Anunoby the opportunity to step into a larger role offensively. Anunoby missed some time with a toe injury back in February, but he's found a groove since working his way back from the issue. Over his last nine contests, the 28-year-old forward has averaged 20.3 points, 5.2 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 1.7 steals in 33.3 minutes per game.

Anunoby had a slump right after the All-Star break with three single-digit games in his first four contests, but it's safe to say those issues are no longer a problem. Anunoby has scored at least 22 points in three of his last four games and is making his presence felt in other areas, ultimately averaging 19.8 points, 4.9 rebounds, 1.6 assists and 1.9 steals per contest since the beginning of March.

Although Anunoby's scoring totals tend to jump around a bit, he's usually able to salvage his fantasy production with ample numbers in secondary categories. He's enjoying a nice run of production off the glass, totaling 21 rebounds over the past three games. He also sizzled by notching his highest scoring total of the season with 34 points against Denver on Friday.
