  • 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.

  • Active and starting
    Hart (abdomen) is in the starting five for Sunday's Game 7 against the Pacers, Ian Begley of SportsNet New York reports.

    Advice: Hart will fight through an abdominal strain he sustained Friday and will be joined by OG Anunoby (hamstring) in the starting lineup for Game 7. While it remains to be seen if Hart will have any physical limitations due to the injury, it seems he will get as many minutes as he can handle. He's generated a double-double four times in the series. Rotowire.com Sunday, 12:05 pm
     
  • 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
     
  • Trending toward playing
    Hart, who's officially listed as questionable due to an abdomen strain, is on course to play in Sunday's Game 7 against the Pacers, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.

    Advice: Hart sustained the injury during Game 6 on Friday, but it looks like he'll give it a go during the deciding Game 7. Although the 28-year-old has been playing 40-plus minutes in close games throughout the playoffs, he may have his minutes monitored Sunday due to the injury. An official decision on Hart's availability will be made closer to the 3:30 ET tipoff. Rotowire.com Sunday, 9:29 am
     
  • 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
     
  • Cason Wallace logs 24 minutes in Game 6 loss
    Cason Wallace shot 2-of-8 from the field in Saturday’s 117-116 loss to the Thunder, scoring five points with one assist, one steal, one block, and one 3-pointer in 24 minutes.

    Advice: Wallace didn’t offer much production in Game 6, but Josh Giddey’s struggles led to the rookie figuring more prominently in the Thunder rotation this series. The first-round pick averaged 21.5 minutes per game against Dallas, four more than his average against the Pelicans in the first round. Wallace wasn’t worth selecting in most redraft leagues before this season, but that could change in 2024-25. That will depend on what happens with Giddey, who is eligible for a rookie extension this summer. Does Oklahoma City extend him, or do they attempt to use Giddey to strengthen the roster (especially the frontcourt)? If Sam Presti decides to make a move, Wallace is one player who could benefit.

  • Goes down swinging
    Gilgeous-Alexander ended Saturday's 117-116 loss to Dallas in Game 6 of the Western Conference Semifinals with 36 points (14-25 FG, 4-5 3Pt, 4-7 FT), three rebounds, eight assists and two blocks across 43 minutes.

    Advice: Gilgeous-Alexander did everything he could to get the Thunder over the line Saturday, pouring in a game-high 36 points. While he ultimately fell short of his goal, enough can't be said about how good he was this season. The Thunder are just starting their journey, and with so many draft picks to work with, there is an opportunity for them to improve their roster sooner rather than later. Despite the disappointing playoff exit, Gilgeous-Alexander is poised to continue his ascension and will likely be in the MVP discussion again next season. Rotowire.com Saturday, 9:01 pm
