    • Unlikely to return Sunday
      Anunoby (hamstring) won't return to Sunday's Game 7 against the Pacers, Keith Smith of Spotrac.com reports.

      Advice: Smith and ESPN's broadcast said Anunoby, who started in his return from a four-game absence and scored five points in five minutes before exiting, won't return Sunday. However, Fred Katz of The Athletic relays that the Knicks haven't officially ruled Anunoby out yet. Miles McBride started the second half in place of Anunoby. Rotowire.com Sunday, 2:12 pm
       
    • OG Anunoby (hamstring) will not return Sunday
      OG Anunoby (left hamstring strain) will not return to Sunday’s game against the Pacers.

      Advice: Sidelined since Game 2, Anunoby gave it a go in Sunday’s Game 7. He did make both of his shot attempts, scoring five points, but it was clear that the Knicks forward was not his usual self. Anunoby played five minutes before exiting, and the decision was made at halftime to rule him out for the rest of the afternoon. Miles McBride started the third quarter; he and Alec Burks will play more minutes in the second half. Rotoworld Sunday, 2:05 pm
       
    • Woj: OG Anunoby, Josh Hart will play in Game 7
      OG Anunoby (left hamstring strain) and Josh Hart (abdominal strain) will play in Game 7 against Indiana on Sunday, per ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski.

      Advice: New York will have Anunoby back after he missed the last four games of the series. Though both players are still dealing with injuries, the Knicks will have most of their typical rotation available to play. Precious Achiuwa should be pushed back to the bench with OG back.

    • Will start Sunday
      Anunoby (hamstring) is active and will start Sunday's Game 7 against the Pacers, Ian Begley of SportsNet New York reports.

      Advice: Anunoby will return to action for the decisive Game 7 after missing the previous four matchups due to a left hamstring strain. Josh Hart is also available despite suffering an abdominal strain during Game 6. Anunoby had 28 points (10-19 FG) in 28 minutes during Game 2 before suffering the injury, but he'll likely face some limitations Sunday. Rotowire.com Sunday, 12:04 pm
       
    • Woj: Anunoby, Hart ‘on course’ to play in Game 7
      OG Anunoby (left hamstring strain) and Josh Hart (abdominal strain) are “on course” to play in Game 7 against Indiana on Sunday.

      Advice: Both players came into the game as questionable, with Anunoby having been sidelined since Game 2. However, the Knicks are expected to be close to full strength as they look to advance to the conference finals. Precious Achiuwa should return to playing a reserve role if both OG and Hart end up playing. Rotoworld Sunday, 9:25 am
       
    • On track to play
      Anunoby, who's officially listed as questionable due to a left hamstring strain, is on course to play in Sunday's Game 7 against Indiana, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.

      Advice: The Knicks could have Anunoby, who's missed the last four games, and Josh Hart (abdomen) available for the deciding Game 7. While the pair are trending toward playing, their availability won't be made official until closer to the 3:30 ET tip. If Anunoby goes, Precious Achiuwa would likely see less work and Jericho Sims could be pushed out of the rotation. Considering Anunoby hasn't played since May 8, he could be under a minutes restriction Sunday. Rotowire.com Sunday, 9:24 am
       
    • Limited role Saturday
      Giddey closed Saturday's 117-116 loss to Dallas in Game 6 of the Western Conference Semifinals with two points (1-3 FG, 0-2 3Pt), four rebounds and one assist in 10 minutes.

      Advice: Giddey played just 10 minutes in the loss, ending what has been a disappointing season for the young Australian. Having started the majority of the season, he was moved to the bench in recent games. In fact, he played fewer than 15 minutes in five straight contests to end the campaign, placing some doubt over what his role could look like in 2024-25. Rotowire.com Saturday, 8:58 pm
       
    • Josh Giddey plays 11 minutes in series finale
      Josh Giddey shot 1-of-3 from the field in Saturday’s 117-116 loss to Dallas, accounting for two points, four rebounds, and one assist in 11 minutes.

      Advice: After playing well in the final three games of Oklahoma City’s four-game sweep of New Orleans, Giddey offered little value against the Mavericks. He played 17 minutes in the series opener and no more than 13 in any of the five games that followed. For Games 5 and 6, Thunder coach Mark Daigneault replaced Giddey in the starting lineup with Isaiah Joe due to the need for a floor spacer. The former lottery pick is eligible for a rookie-level extension this summer, but it’s fair to wonder if he’s the “odd man out” in Oklahoma City. Giddey, who had a Yahoo ADP of 58.9, finished the regular season ranked well outside the top 100. If he remains with the Thunder, he shouldn’t be selected with a top 100 pick.

    • Chet Holmgren records 21/3/1/2 line in Game 6 loss
      Chet Holmgren finished Saturday’s Game 6 loss to the Mavericks with 21 points (9-of-15 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), three rebounds, one assist, two steals, and one 3-pointer in 35 minutes.

      Advice: Despite scoring 21 points, Holmgren’s final game of the season wasn’t his best. More concerning than the 1-of-7 night from three was the rebounding, with the rookie only grabbing three. By comparison, Mavericks rookie Dereck Lively II grabbed 15 by himself. Holmgren’s struggles to rebound prompted Thunder coach Mark Daigneault to go with a bigger lineup down the stretch, with Jaylin Williams (6/2/2/1/1 with one 3-pointer in 18 minutes) joining the rookie in the frontcourt. Overall, Holmgren had an excellent rookie campaign, finishing second to Victor Wembanyama in Rookie of the Year voting and providing top-20 per-game value in 9-cat formats. Based on his Yahoo ADP, Chet was expected by many to be a 4th-round player. Those days are over; he should not get out of the third round in standard league drafts, and that’s being conservative.
