OG Anunoby amassed 23 points (9-of-18 FGs, 1-of-2 FTs), nine rebounds, five assists, two steals, three blocks and four three-pointers in 43 minutes in Sunday’s win over the Heat.
On a night when Karl-Anthony Towns struggled with fouls and Miami’s frontcourt tandem of Bam Adebayo and Kel’el Ware, Anunoby gave the Knicks much-needed offensive production. The 20-point game was his first since a foot injury sidelined OG for six games. And since the All-Star break, Anunoby has been a fifth-round player in nine-cat formats. With KAT playing through a lingering thumb injury and Mikal Bridges (5/4/8 with one three-pointer) lacking consistency, there’s a greater need for Anunoby’s offensive production.
