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.

OG Anunoby is Probable for Tuesday's Game 1

New York Knicks forward OG Anunoby (hamstring) is listed as probable ahead of Game 1 against the Cleveland Cavaliers on Tuesday. Anunoby is expected to return to the court after missing Games 3 and 4 of the previous series against the Philadelphia 76ers. He was a full participant in practice last week and appears to be ready to go for the beginning of this series. Assuming he plays, Miles McBride should take a backseat after starting each of the last two games. Fantasy managers should check back ahead of tip-off on Tuesday for another update on his status.

OG Anunoby Practices in Full on Friday

New York Knicks forward OG Anunoby (hamstring) was a full participant during Friday's practice session. This is an encouraging sign after Anunoby missed the final two games of the previous series against the Philadelphia 76ers. He continues to battle a right hamstring issue, but is optimistic that he'll be ready for Game 1 of the next series. His absence from the rotation has pushed Miles McBride into the starting five. McBride knocked down seven three-pointers during the series-clinching Game 4 versus the Sixers. He figures to continue playing a significant role if Anunoby is still unable to play.

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.

Jalen Brunson Finishes Game 4 Sweep with 22 Points

New York Knicks point guard Jalen Brunson finished Sunday's 144-114 Game 4 victory over the Philadelphia 76ers with 22 points, four rebounds, six assists, and six three-pointers. The All-Star drained 6-for-10 from beyond the arc and went 8-for-17 from the field. Brunson's early shooting helped fuel a record-setting first quarter in which New York knocked down 11 three-pointers on its way to tying the NBA postseason record with 25 makes in the game. Miles McBride started in place of the injured OG Anunoby (hamstring) and led the Knicks with 25 points on seven made threes. The Knicks now advance to the Eastern Conference Finals for the second straight season, having outscored opponents by 19.4 points per game through two rounds, the best per-game differential by any team through two rounds in the 43 years of the 16-team format.

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.

Miles McBride Tallies Game-High 25 Points in Series-Clincher

New York Knicks guard Miles McBride led all scorers in Sunday's 144-114 Game 4 victory over the Philadelphia 76ers. He got hot from downtown, going 7-for-9 and finishing 7-for-10 overall from the field, making all four free-throw attempts. McBride also contributed four rebounds and one steal during the series-clinching win. The 25-year-old made a second consecutive start with OG Anunoby (hamstring) sidelined. In Game 3, McBride couldn't handle the added responsibility, scoring only three points in 21 minutes. He did much better in Sunday's game, offering the Knicks reassurance that they can count on McBride if Anunoby can't return for the start of the Eastern Conference Finals.

OG Anunoby Could Miss Another Game Sunday

New York Knicks forward OG Anunoby (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Game 4 against the Philadelphia 76ers on Sunday. The 2019 NBA champion injured his right hamstring late in Game 2 and missed Friday's Game 3 of the series. Miles McBride got a chance to start Friday, making the biggest impact on the defensive end with two blocks. On offense, he was limited to three points and two assists due to a 1-for-6 effort from the field. Landry Shamet was another player to benefit from Anunoby's absence and was a lot busier than McBride. In 26 minutes off the bench, Shamet tallied 15 points, three rebounds, and one steal. He finished as New York's third-highest scorer, behind Jalen Brunson and Mikal Bridges.

Mikal Bridges Continues Postseason Surge with 23-Point Game

New York Knicks guard/forward Mikal Bridges contributed 23 points, three rebounds, one assist, and two steals in Friday's 108-94 Game 3 win over the Philadelphia 76ers. The Villanova product hit two three-pointers and finished 8-for-14 from the field, going a perfect 5-for-5 at the free-throw line. Bridges and Josh Hart made consecutive baskets that pushed the lead to 92-84 in the fourth quarter, helping close out Philadelphia on the road. He has turned his postseason around after averaging only 7.2 points across his first five postseason performances, and four straight productive outings have shifted the conversation around his Knicks tenure.

Jalen Brunson Tallies 33 Points to Take 3-0 Series Lead

New York Knicks point guard Jalen Brunson recorded 33 points, five rebounds, and nine assists in 38 minutes during Friday's 108-94 Game 3 win over the Philadelphia 76ers. The two-time All-NBA guard shook off a 2-for-8 start to finish 11-for-22 from the field, 3-for-8 from three-point range, and 8-for-9 at the free-throw line. Brunson buried a three from the top of the arc during a fourth-quarter 9-0 Knicks run that effectively closed the game. "I'm Linus. Jalen's my blanket," head coach Mike Brown said postgame. New York now sits one win from a second straight conference finals appearance after its sixth straight postseason victory.

Josh Hart is Available to Play in Game 3

New York Knicks forward Josh Hart (thumb) is available to play ahead of Game 3 against the Philadelphia 76ers on Friday. Hart suffered a sprained left thumb during the second half of Wednesday's Game 2 victory. It's not significant enough to hold him out of this game, so he should fulfill his normal role in the starting five. Hart should be asked to take on a larger role with OG Anunoby (hamstring) ruled out for this game. He hasn't been a great offensive contributor, but the Knicks will need him to step it up a little more on Friday. The absence of Anunoby should give Hart an uptick in fantasy value.

OG Anunoby is Downgraded to Out for Game 3 on Friday

New York Knicks forward OG Anunoby (hamstring) has been ruled out ahead of Friday's Game 3 against the Philadelphia 76ers. He was questionable coming into this game due to a strained right hamstring that he suffered during Game 2. The Knicks are going to play it safe and hold him out for at least one game. His absence from the rotation will likely mean larger roles for Miles McBride and Mitchell Robinson. Between the two, Robinson is probably the better DFS option, assuming Joel Embiid (ankle, hip) is unable to play. Jalen Brunson and Karl-Anthony Towns will be asked to take on a larger workload offensively with Anunoby unavailable.

Mitchell Robinson is Returning for Game 3

New York Knicks center Mitchell Robinson (illness) has been upgraded to available ahead of Friday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. Robinson is back in the mix after missing Wednesday's Game 2 victory due to an illness. His return will likely mean that Ariel Hukporti will fall out of the rotation. Robinson could be asked to play a bigger role than normal with OG Anunoby (hamstring) ruled out for this game. The big man is an elite rebounder, but doesn't offer a ton of upside outside of that. Karl-Anthony Towns should continue to play a majority of the minutes at the center spot.

Mitchell Robinson • C • Knicks

Mitchell Robinson Probable for Friday's Action

New York Knicks center Mitchell Robinson (illness) is listed as probable for Game 3 against the Philadelphia 76ers on Friday. The seven-footer has been dealing with an illness this week and missed Game 2. However, the probable tag suggests Robinson will be ready to rejoin the lineup on Friday night. Robinson has averaged 5.6 points and 5.1 rebounds in 13.6 minutes per game this postseason. His workload could increase on Friday if New York has to play without OG Anunoby (hamstring), who is questionable. Still, given Robinson's injury history, the team won't want to overwork him and will likely keep his minutes well under 30.

OG Anunoby Tagged as Questionable for Friday

New York Knicks forward OG Anunoby (hamstring) is considered questionable for Game 3 against the Philadelphia 76ers on Friday night. He has been diagnosed with a right hamstring strain after missing the final few minutes of Wednesday's Game 2 win. According to ESPN's Shams Charania, Anunoby is considered day-to-day. While Anunoby could remain in the lineup, the Knicks have little incentive to take chances given their 2-0 series lead and will likely proceed with caution. Miles McBride, Jordan Clarkson, and Landry Shamet will cover for Anunoby if needed on Friday.

Jalen Brunson Leads Knicks With 26 Points Wednesday

New York Knicks point guard Jalen Brunson led his team in scoring with 26 points as the team secured a 2-0 series lead over the Philadelphia 76ers with a 108-102 home win on Wednesday. In a tightly contested game, Brunson saved some of his best moves for last, scoring six points down the stretch when the teams were tied at 99. In 41 minutes, his line also included one rebound, six assists, and one steal. He had some efficiency issues in the game, finishing 1-for-5 with the three-ball and 9-for-21 from the field. Through two games in the second-round matchup, Brunson is averaging over 30 points per game and will certainly try to spearhead New York's effort in Game 3 again.

OG Anunoby Suffers Apparent Leg Injury Wednesday

New York Knicks forward OG Anunoby appeared to have injured his right leg in the closing stages of Wednesday's Game 2 against the Philadelphia 76ers, ESPN's Vincent Goodwill reports. He left the action with 2:56 remaining in the fourth quarter. "It looked like he was hopping, but I don't know anything," Knicks head coach Mike Brown said postgame. "They haven't told me. I just know he left the game. Nobody said he was back. I haven't talked to anybody yet." Anunoby delivered a great performance before his injury, as he was a key figure in New York's 108-102 win. In 37 minutes, Anunoby recorded 24 points, five rebounds, two assists, four steals, and one block. He struggled from beyond the arc, going 2-for-7, but finished a solid 9-for-17 overall. Anunoby is enjoying a great postseason, and losing him would be a tough blow for the Knicks.

Mitchell Robinson is Ruled Out for Game 2 on Wednesday

New York Knicks center Mitchell Robinson (illness) has been ruled out ahead of Wednesday's Game 2 against the Philadelphia 76ers. He was questionable coming into this game due to an illness, but the Knicks have ultimately decided to hold him out. His absence won't have a huge impact on the rotation, with Karl-Anthony Towns playing a majority of the minutes at center. Ariel Hukporti could pick up some additional playing time, but he won't be someone worth targeting in DFS contests.
