Fri Apr 5 | 19:44 | OG Anunoby Officially Active On Friday |
New York Knicks forward OG Anunoby (elbow) will play on Friday against Chicago. He's appeared in just three of the team's last 30 games, so there's a chance he'll be limited in his first game back from his most recent layoff. However, the 26-year-old should be on the floor enough to negatively impact the fantasy outlook of Miles McBride, who will head back to the bench for this one. |

Fri Apr 5 | 15:52 | OG Anunoby Questionable To Return On Friday |
New York Knicks forward OG Anunoby (elbow) has been upgraded to questionable for the first time since having to be sidelined again due to a flare-up in his elbow, which caused him to miss almost two months from January to March. He originally returned for three games on March 12, but experienced a setback and has missed the last nine games. If he's able to play against the Chicago Bulls, it's unclear how many minutes he'll receive right away, since 30 or more minutes seemed to be too much last time. Miles McBride would take the biggest hit to his opportunities, but fantasy managers may want to wait and see how Anunoby comes back into the rotation. |

Mon Apr 1 | 09:41 | Knicks Not Expecting OG Anunoby, Julius Randle Back This Season |
New York Knicks forwards OG Anunoby (elbow) and Julius Randle (shoulder) appear unlikely to return to action this season. Following Sunday's 113-112 loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder, Knicks guard/forward Josh Hart said that the team would be "pleasantly surprised" if Anunoby and Randle returned to the court in 2023-24. Anunoby made a comeback from elbow surgery on March 12 but played in only three games, while Randle has been out of the lineup since the end of January, missing 28 contests. The injuries have given extra fantasy value to Hart, who averaged 10.9 points, 11.9 rebounds, 6.3 assists, and 1.1 steals across March. Donte DiVincenzo and Precious Achiuwa have also taken on larger roles. |

Fri Mar 29 | 09:15 | OG Anunoby Ruled Out Again Friday |
New York Knicks forward OG Anunoby (elbow) has been ruled out for the contest against the San Antonio Spurs on Friday, which pushes his missed-game streak to six in a row. Anunoby came back from his elbow injury for three games but has since gone back to the sidelines after a flare-up in his elbow. The Knicks threw Anunoby back on the court in a full starting role without limitations when he returned, so it seems he took on too much too early. While he's out, Miles McBride should continue to see more opportunities, while Donte DiVincenzo sees an uptick in value as well. |

Sun Mar 24 | 17:35 | OG Anunoby Still Out On Monday |
New York Knicks forward OG Anunoby (elbow) won't play on Monday against the Pistons. He's listed as out for management purposes. However, Anunoby will now miss his fourth consecutive contest, so his next chance to return will be Wednesday in Toronto against his former team. In the meantime, Miles McBride, who had 26 points in 48 minutes in Saturday's win over Brooklyn, will continue to see a surge in DFS potential. |

Wed Mar 20 | 20:33 | OG Anunoby Ruled Out Thursday |
New York Knicks forward OG Anunoby (elbow) is ruled out for Thursday's game against the Denver Nuggets. He didn't play against Golden State on Monday because of a flare-up in his right elbow, which he recently returned from surgery on. Precious Achiuwa may get into the starting five in Anunoby's absence. 29-year-old Josh Hart may also see some extra minutes on the court against the defending champs. |

Mon Mar 18 | 20:22 | OG Anunoby Set For Multi-Game Absence |
New York Knicks forward OG Anunoby (elbow) is facing a multi-game absence. He has already been ruled out for Monday's matchup against Golden State, and according to ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski, this won't be the only game Anunovy is expected to miss. Anunoby recently returned from a right elbow surgery, but the elbow has "flared up" again, according to Wojnarowski. New York plays Denver next on Thursday. Precious Achiuwa looks set for a fresh stint in the starting five without Anunoby available, with Josh Hart also getting extra run-outs. Achiuwa is close to averaging a double-double as a starter this season, while Hart has turned into a triple-double threat lately. |

Mon Mar 18 | 15:11 | Knicks Holding Out OG Anunoby Monday |
New York Knicks forward OG Anunoby (elbow) won't play in Monday's game against the Golden State Warriors. Anunoby played in New York's past three contests following a month and a half on the shelf due to surgery on his right elbow, and the Knicks will give the three-and-D wing the night off after he struggled to shoot the ball (1-for-8) in Saturday's win over the Sacramento Kings. Expect Anunoby to return in Thursday's showdown with the defending-champion Denver Nuggets for the final outing of the team's four-game West Coast road trip. Over 18 games in the Big Apple without Anunoby this season, Precious Achiuwa is averaging 12.5 points, 9.5 rebounds, 1.8 blocks, and 1.1 steals and makes for a strong plug-and-play fantasy option as the most likely candidate to join the starting five against a middling Dubs defense. |

Sun Mar 17 | 22:25 | OG Anunoby Iffy For Monday |
New York Knicks forward OG Anunoby (elbow) has drawn another questionable tag ahead of Monday night. Initially, there were some reports about the team taking it easy on Anunoby during his first few games or so, but that hasn't been the case yet. In his first three games back, he's played 28, 35, and 33 minutes respectively. He originally popped up as questionable ahead of their last game but ended up playing a full game. One thing about head coach Tom Thibodeau is that he's going to play his starters heavy minutes. If Anunoby isn't experiencing any setbacks and suits up, fantasy managers can expect him to play a normal workload. If he sits out, Donte DiVincenzo will take on a bigger role while Bojan Bogdanovic and Precious Achiuwa will see added opportunities. |

Fri Mar 15 | 23:22 | OG Anunoby Questionable Against Sacramento |
New York Knicks forward OG Anunoby (elbow) is tagged as questionable heading into Saturday's game in Sacramento. He's not injured. But considering the 26-year-old recently returned from a lengthy layoff, head coach Tom Thibodeau could keep him out for this one. That said, Anunoby has played well in his two games since returning, averaging 13.0 points, 6.5 rebounds, and 1.5 steals. If he can't play on Saturday, the slumping Bojan Bogdanovic would presumably see more minutes. |

Thu Mar 14 | 15:40 | Knicks Remove OG Anunoby From Injury Report |
The New York Knicks have removed forward OG Anunoby (elbow) from the injury report ahead of Thursday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. The Knicks are 13-2 with Anunoby in the lineup this season, but with a 205.5-point implied total on tap for Thursday's matchup, the reigning steals champion may not attract much DFS rostership on the six-game slate. Anunoby posted 14 points, two triples, and a steal in Tuesday's rout of the Philadelphia 76ers. |

Tue Mar 12 | 19:08 | OG Anunoby Officially Active On Tuesday |
New York Knicks forward OG Anunoby (elbow) is officially active for Tuesday's meeting with Philadelphia. Head coach Tom Thibodeau indicated the former Raptor would be available if things went well in warm-ups, so the update isn't much of a surprise. Anunoby will also get the start, so he should be added to all fantasy lineups. However, he could see limited work in his first game in over a month, so Precious Achiuwa and Bojan Bogdanovic will remain viable fantasy assets in all formats. |

Tue Mar 12 | 18:43 | OG Anunoby Expected To Play On Tuesday |
New York Knicks forward OG Anunoby (elbow) will play on Tuesday against the 76ers, barring a setback during warmups. The Knicks desperately need him, with the team losing 10 of their 18 games while he's been out of the lineup because of an elbow injury. While the 26-year-old makes most of his presence known defensively whenever he's on the floor, averaging 1.8 steals in 14 games in New York, he also has averaged 15.6 points. Nonetheless, Anunoby might be limited in his first game back. However, he should see enough action to lower the fantasy ceiling of Josh Hart. |

Mon Mar 11 | 21:24 | OG Anunoby Questionable For Tuesday Night |
New York Knicks forward OG Anunoby (elbow) is questionable for Tuesday's meeting with the 76ers. He hasn't played in over a month because of elbow surgery. But the former Raptor has recently ramped things up at practice and is labeled as day-to-day. That said, there's still a good chance Anunoby won't be available versus Philadelphia. If that's the case, fantasy managers could see the 26-year-old back in the lineup when the Knicks begin a four-game road trip on Thursday in Portland. Unfortunately, it could take Anunoby some time to get his legs back under him, meaning his fantasy potential could be capped for at least a few games once he's cleared. |

Thu Mar 7 | 19:29 | OG Anunoby Will Not Return On Friday |
New York Knicks forward OG Anunoby (elbow) has been ruled out of at least one more game while he works his way back from elbow surgery. The 26-year-old has returned to full contact at practice and the team has considered him day-to-day. There was an outside chance that he was going to return on Friday, but his next chance to take the court will be either Sunday or Tuesday against the Philadelphia 76ers. Precious Achiuwa, Josh Hart, and Bojan Bogdanovic will continue to see more minutes in the meantime. All three will likely take a hit to their fantasy value once Anunoby returns, but his first few games are probably going to be limited minutes as he gets acclimated to game speed again. |

Thu Mar 7 | 15:43 | Knicks Say OG Anunoby Is Now Day-To-Day |
New York Knicks forward OG Anunoby (elbow) is going through contact drills and is playing five-on-five now, according to head coach Tom Thibodeau. While it sounds like Anunoby is getting closer to a return, and Thibodeau said he's now day-to-day, the forward hasn't been cleared to fully play yet. The 26-year-old three-and-D specialist should be deemed doubtful ahead of Friday's tilt versus the Orlando Magic, but it appears that he could suit up as soon as Sunday's meeting with the Philadelphia 76ers. Precious Achiuwa has handled a monstrous workload with Anunoby on the shelf since late January, logging 36.4 minutes per game over his last 16 contests and averaging 12.6 points, 9.3 rebounds, and 2.6 combined steals and blocks over this span. Keep him rostered in fantasy leagues. |

Tue Feb 27 | 15:57 | Knicks Hope OG Anunoby Can Return In 2-3 Weeks |
The Athletic's Shams Charania hears the New York Knicks hope forward OG Anunoby (elbow) is back on the floor in two or three weeks. Anunoby underwent surgery on his right elbow on Feb. 8, and he could be ready for full practices in early March. Precious Achiuwa will continue occupying heavy workloads in Anunoby's stead, facing a difficult task on Tuesday against a New Orleans Pelicans team that ranks sixth in opponent field-goal percentage (46.4%). |

Sat Feb 24 | 20:27 | OG Anunoby Moving In The Right Direction |
According to ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski, speaking on NBA Countdown, New York Knicks forward OG Anunoby (elbow) is expected to be re-evaluated at the end of next week. The 26-year-old has averaged 15.6 points, 4.6 boards, 1.8 steals, and 1.1 blocks in 14 games with the Knicks. Unfortunately, he had a loose bone fragment in his elbow and underwent surgery on February 8. But Anunoby remains on schedule regarding a potential return, so fantasy managers should remain optimistic that things continue to move in the right direction. At any rate, Josh Hart, averaging nearly a double-double in 16 starts this season, is worth rostering in any fantasy format until Anunoby is healthy enough to return. |

Thu Feb 8 | 20:40 | OG Anunoby Has Elbow Surgery |
According to ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski, New York Knicks forward OG Anunoby (elbow) underwent surgery on Thursday. The former Raptor, who was traded to New York in December, has averaged 15.6 points, 4.6 rebounds, and 1.8 steals in 14 appearances with the Knicks. However, he's missed the last five games because of an elbow issue. After further tests, it was revealed that Anunoby had a loose bone fragment in his right elbow, requiring him to go under the knife. He's expected to resume basketball activities in three weeks. But with the All-Star break on the horizon, the blow to fantasy managers might not be as impactful. That said, Donte DiVincenzo and the newly acquired Bojan Bogdanovic could see more work until Anunoby is healthy. |

Thu Feb 8 | 16:52 | OG Anunoby Still Out Thursday |
New York Knicks forward OG Anunoby (elbow) remains out for Thursday's tilt versus the Dallas Mavericks. The Knicks have updated Anunoby's injury from inflammation to a bone spur irritation in his right elbow, which can't help but sound a bit more complicated than the original listing. With the All-Star break on the horizon, New York could opt to hold Anunoby out until play resumes to get this issue fully resolved, but the forward nonetheless has a chance to end a six-game absence on Saturday against the visiting Indiana Pacers in the final game of a six-game homestand. Head coach Tom Thibodeau has tightened his rotations to eight players with Quentin Grimes (knee) out of the mix, leaving behind ample playing time for Precious Achiuwa. Averaging 13.2 points, 7.8 rebounds, 1.4 steals, and 1.4 blocks in 39.8 minutes across his past five games, Achiuwa remains a strong fantasy streamer on Thursday. |
