Mon May 13 | 19:16 | OG Anunoby To Remain Out On Tuesday |
New York Knicks forward OG Anunoby (hamstring) will remain sidelined for Game 5 against Indiana on Tuesday. He injured his left hamstring in Game 2 of the series, and it was reported at the weekend that Anunoby has yet to resume running. It looks like it could take quite a bit of time until he's good to go again. Anunoby's absence has opened the door for Alec Burks to enter the rotation, with Precious Achiuwa also benefitting. |

Sun May 12 | 00:26 | OG Anunoby Out Again On Sunday |
New York Knicks forward OG Anunoby (hamstring) won't play in Sunday's playoff matchup with the Pacers. The former Raptor injured his left hamstring in Game 2 and wasn't available for the loss of Friday night. While he is with the team in Indiana and receiving multiple treatment sessions daily, there's a chance he could miss more games moving ahead. Nonetheless, until Anunoby is back on the floor, Precious Achiuwa and Alec Burks should continue to see more minutes. However, Burks scored 14 points in Game 3, so he'll be the preferred DFS option over Achiuwa. |

Thu May 9 | 18:49 | OG Anunoby Will Not Play In Game 3 Against Indiana |
New York Knicks forward OG Anunoby (hamstring) has been ruled out for Friday's Game 3 against the Pacers. He suffered a hamstring strain in Game 2 on Wednesday. Despite the injury, Anunoby managed to post his new playoff career high with 28 points in 28 minutes. He's also an outstanding defender, and Anunoby's injury is definitely a big blow for the Knicks, who have gone 26-5 with him in the lineup since acquiring the versatile forward from Toronto. Precious Achiuwa and Alec Burks should share Anunoby's minutes, with the rest of the Knicks squad already logging a massive amount of playing time in the playoffs. |

Wed May 8 | 22:03 | OG Anunoby Won't Return To Game 2 |
New York Knicks forward OG Anunoby (hamstring) won't return to Wednesday's matchup against the Pacers. He had played well in the contest, scoring 28 points while shooting 10-for-19 from the field and 4-for-7 from deep. Unfortunately, Anunoby limped off the court late in the third quarter, with TNT's Chris Haynes reporting the former Raptor experienced left hamstring soreness. Jalen Brunson (foot) briefly exited this contest, although he returned. However, DFS managers will likely see both men on the injury report ahead of Game 3 on Friday evening. While Anunoby is sidelined, Precious Achiuwa will likely see more work. |

Wed May 8 | 21:52 | OG Anunoby Limps To The Locker Room |
New York Knicks forward OG Anunoby (leg) exited Wednesday's postseason matchup with the Pacers. Jalen Brunson (foot) left in the first half because of right foot discomfort. Fortunately, Brunson returned, although now the team could be without Anunoby, who limped off the court while holding his left hamstring in the third quarter. If he doesn't return, he'll finish with 28 points, shooting 10-for-19 from the field and 4-for-7 from deep, with Precious Achiuwa and Miles McBride expected to see more minutes the rest of the way. |

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. |
