Anunoby contributed 16 points (6-17 FG, 4-13 3Pt), three rebounds, two blocks and three steals across 38 minutes during Wednesday's 103-100 loss to the Thunder.
This was a fairly typical line for Anunoby, as it showcases how valuable he can be in category fantasy formats. On the season, he's on pace for fourth-round value in nine-category formats with averages of 16.1 points, 5.2 rebounds, 2.2 assists, 1.7 steals and 2.1 three-pointers in 33.1 minutes per contest.

Knicks' OG Anunoby: Drains five triples in Friday's win
Rotowire
Anunoby finished Friday's 127-98 win over the Bucks with 24 points (8-10 FG, 5-7 3Pt, 3-4 FT), three rebounds, three assists and two steals over 28 minutes.
Anunoby entered Friday's game having scored in single digits in three of his last four outings while shooting just 34.7 percent from the field (on 12.3 FGA/G) over that span. The veteran forward started the game out slow, but he exploded for 15 points in the third quarter to extend the Knicks' lead to 20 points by the end of the frame, and he finished as the team's second-leading scorer behind Jalen Brunson (27 points).

Knicks' OG Anunoby: Muted performance in loss
Rotowire
Anunoby totaled five points (2-9 FG, 1-6 3Pt), three rebounds, two assists and one block over 34 minutes during Tuesday's 109-94 loss to the Cavaliers.
This was a dud by Anunoby's standards, but on the bright side, his usage was decent, and he saw plenty of minutes. Fantasy managers can mostly chalk this up as an off night for the defensive stalwart. Overall this season, Anunoby has been a fifth-round value in nine-category formats on a per-game basis with 16.0 points, 5.3 rebounds, 2.3 assists, 1.7 steals and 2.0 three-pointers across 45 appearances.

Rotowire
Anunoby (toe) recorded eight points (3-13 FG, 1-8 3Pt, 1-2 FT) and four blocks over 32 minutes during the Knicks' 126-111 loss to the Pistons on Thursday.
Anunoby was given the green light to return from a four-game absence due to a right toenail avulsion, with his recovery from the injury being aided by the extended rest that came during the All-Star break. The veteran forward struggled to get his shot going, but he made his presence felt defensively with a season-high block total.

Knicks' OG Anunoby: Officially questionable
Rotowire
Anunoby (toe) is officially questionable for Thursday's game against the Pistons, Steve Popper of Newsday reports.
Anunoby said after Wednesday's practice that he expects to play against Detroit, but the Knicks appear to want the veteran forward to test out his toe injury during shootaround Thursday before giving him the green light to play. With Anunoby at least looking to be on the right side of the questionable tag, Landry Shamet would likely have the most to lose from a fantasy standpoint Thursday.

Rotowire
Anunoby (toe) has been downgraded to questionable for Friday's game against the Pistons
Anunoby was initially listed as probable for Friday's contest, so the downgrade casts some doubt on his availability. If he's unable to play, it would mark his first missed game since Dec. 23. With Karl-Anthony Towns (eye) doubtful and Jose Alvarado (recently traded) and Miles McBride (abdomen) unavailable, Landry Shamet, Jordan Clarkson and Tyler Kolek are all candidates for expanded offensive roles, especially if Anunoby gets ruled out or has limitations Friday.
