    Are you sure you want to report NOT GUILTY Giddey for inappropriate content?

  • 87-87-6 5th Place
    • Josh Giddey limited to 11 minutes in Game 2 loss
      Josh Giddey played 11 minutes in Thursday’s loss to the Mavericks, accounting for eight points (3-of-6 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs) and two rebounds.

      Advice: If the first two games of this series are any indication, this may not be the series for Giddey. After logging 17 minutes in Tuesday’s Game 1 victory, he played 11 in Game 2, with Aaron Wiggins starting the third quarter. Wiggins, who finished with nine points, two rebounds, one block, and one 3-pointer, can serve as another floor spacer to open up driving lanes for Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Jalen Williams. Giddey, whom Mavericks center Daniel Gafford sometimes defended, does not possess that ability. Don’t be surprised if Giddey continues to lose minutes to Wiggins and Cason Wallace (six points, three rebounds, one assist, and two steals in 21 minutes) moving forward.

    • PJ Washington drains seven 3-pointers in Game 2
      P.J. Washington shot 11-of-18 from the field and 0-of-1 from the foul line in Thursday’s 119-110 win over the Thunder, scoring 29 points with 11 rebounds, four assists, two steals, one block, and seven 3-pointers in 40 minutes.

      Advice: Washington fouled out with a little over two minutes remaining in Dallas’ Game 2 victory, but he did plenty of damage before that point. He matched his career-high with seven 3-pointers, stepping up offensively on a night when Kyrie Irving failed to reach double figures. Washington’s arrival from Charlotte at the trade deadline helped the Mavericks defensively, and he has also been an effective catch-and-shoot option next to Irving and Luka Doncic. The series will shift to Dallas for Game 3 on Saturday afternoon, with the Mavericks and Thunder tied at one game apiece. Rotoworld Yesterday, 9:12 pm
       
    • OG Anunoby (hamstring) ruled out Friday vs. Pacers
      OG Anunoby (left hamstring strain) has been ruled out for Friday’s Game 3 matchup between the Knicks and Pacers.

      Advice: Anunoby’s tweaked hamstring appears to be serious and he’s been ruled out for Game 3 a day in advance. There’s no clear major beneficiary following this development. The Knicks’ normal rotation players will continue carrying an extremely heavy workload. Rotoworld Yesterday, 3:17 pm
       
    • Ruled out for Game 3
      Anunoby (hamstring) has been ruled out for Game 3 against the Pacers on Friday.

      Advice: This is a brutal blow to the Knicks, as it'll be tough to replace what Anunoby brings to the team. His absence should open up minutes for Precious Achiuwa and Alec Burks, and guys like Josh Hart and Donte DiVincenzo will be asked to step it up on offense. Anunoby's next chance to play will come Sunday. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 2:36 pm
       
    • NYK pessimistic about OG Anunoby’s status for G3
      There is “internal pessimism” surrounding OG Anunoby’s status for Game 3 on Friday, per SNY’s Ian Begley.

      Advice: Anunoby exited Game 2 with a hamstring injury, and it appears that the team is preparing to play Game 3 in Indiana without him. Miles McBride and Alec Burks should both take on extra minutes if Anunoby is forced to sit out. Rotoworld Yesterday, 10:58 am
       
    • Passive performance Wednesday
      McBride amassed four points (1-4 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT) and one assist across 20 minutes during Wednesday's 130-121 victory over the Pacers in Game 2 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals.

      Advice: McBride managed just four points in the win, struggling to find any real rhythm on the offensive end. Although his role has been somewhat limited to this point, OG Anunoby (hamstring) going down could open up an interesting opportunity. Should Anunoby be forced to miss time, look for McBride to potentially slide into the starting lineup for Game 3. Rotowire.com Wednesday, 9:47 pm
       
    • Hurts hamstring, won't return
      Anunoby has been ruled ruled out for the remainder of Wednesday's Game 2 against the Pacers with left hamstring soreness. He finished with 28 points (10-19 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 4-6 FT), four rebounds, three assists and one block in 28 minutes prior to departing.

      Advice: Anunoby went straight to the locker room and was grabbing at his left hamstring after a shot attempt late in the third period. He'll be unable to return to the contest, and given the nature of his injury, his availability for Friday's Game 3 in Indiana would seem to be in jeopardy. The Knicks have already been running a thin rotation with the likes of Mitchell Robinson (ankle), Bojan Bogdanovic (foot) and Julius Randle (shoulder) having been ruled out for the season, so head coach Tom Thibodeau may need to call upon reserves such as Precious Achiuwa, Miles McBride and Alec Burks to take on more minutes if Anunoby can't play in Game 3.

    • OG Anunoby (hamstring) will not return Wednesday
      OG Anunoby (sore left hamstring) is out for the remainder of Wednesday’s Game 2 against the Pacers.

      Advice: Anunoby, who was on fire offensively, appeared to tweak his hamstring on a run-out during the third quarter. Soreness in his left hamstring is why the Knicks forward will not return to Game 2. Precious Achiuwa will play more minutes off the bench in Anunoby’s absence. OG finished with 28 points (10-of-19 FGs, 4-of-6 FTs), four rebounds, three assists, one block, and four 3-pointers in 28 minutes. Rotoworld Wednesday, 6:57 pm
       
    • Heads to locker room
      Anunoby limped to the locker room holding his left hamstring during Wednesday's Game 2 against Indiana, Fred Katz of The Athletic reports.

      Advice: After being without Jalen Brunson for portions of the first half, the Knicks could be down Anunoby after he came up limping during the third quarter with what appears to be a left hamstring injury. Until we get an official update from the Knicks, Anunoby should be considered questionable to return. While he's out, Alec Burks, Miles McBride and Precious Achiuwa are the likely candidates for more minutes Rotowire.com Wednesday, 6:51 pm
