OG Anunoby

Anunoby didn't have a prolific afternoon on offense, but his work on the defensive end of the floor was critical in the Knicks' 114-89 victory. He spent most of the game guarding Victor Wembanyama, and he was able to get under the 7-foot-4 phenom and make life difficult. Anunoby recorded a complete stat line against the Spurs, and the steals and blocks numbers don't tell the full story of his defensive impact. The Knicks play four games in Week 19.

Anunoby being involved on offense has a great track record for the Knicks.

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.
