Anunoby posted 24 points (10-18 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 2-3 FT), five rebounds, three assists, two blocks and two steals over 37 minutes during Saturday's 125-108 loss to Indiana in Game 6 of the Eastern Conference Finals.
EDGE Analysis
Anunoby did everything he could Saturday, leading the Knicks with 24 points to go with four defensive stats. It was a tough loss for New York given the expectations coming into the series. While there will almost certainly be a period of re-evaluation during the offseason, Anunoby's role should remain relatively safe. After a somewhat slow start to the season, he picked things up over the final few months, closing with averages of 18.0 points, 4.8 rebounds, 1.5 steals, 0.9 blocks and 2.3 three-pointers across 74 games during the regular season.

Anunoby chipped in 22 points (7-16 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 7-9 FT), four rebounds, one assist, two blocks and three steals over 40 minutes during Tuesday's 130-121 loss to Indiana in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Finals.
EDGE Analysis
Anunoby got it done on both ends of the floor, albeit in a losing effort. While Jalen Brunson typically garners all the attention, Anunoby has quietly put together a strong postseason, averaging 15.7 points, 4.6 rebounds, 2.5 three-pointers and 3.0 combined steals and blocks in 13 games over the past month. Now trailing the Pacers 3-1, the series will head back to New York for what is a must-win game for the Knicks.

Anunoby supplied 16 points (6-15 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 2-4 FT), three rebounds, two assists, three blocks and three steals in 42 minutes during Wednesday's 138-135 overtime loss to the Pacers in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Finals.
EDGE Analysis
Anunoby got it done on both ends of the floor, albeit in a losing effort. He has now recorded 10 combined steals and blocks over the past two games, averaging 19.5 points, 6.0 rebounds, 2.5 steals, 2.5 blocks and 3.0 three-pointers during that time. The loss sees the Knicks fall behind 1-0 despite having home-court advantage. Following a devastating defeat, New York must refocus heading into Game 2 Friday.

Anunoby contributed 23 points (7-18 FG, 4-13 3Pt, 5-5 FT), nine rebounds, two assists, two blocks and two steals over 37 minutes during Friday's 119-81 win over Boston in Game 6 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals.
EDGE Analysis
Anunoby was tied with Jalen Brunson as the Knicks' highest scorer in this win, and it's worth noting that four starters reached the 20-point plateau for New York, with the lone exception being Josh Hart. Anunoby reached the 20-point mark for the third time in the series, and he'll remain one of the Knicks' top players ahead of the Eastern Conference Finals matchup against the Pacers. That series begins Wednesday.

Anunoby amassed 20 points (8-14 FG, 4-8 3Pt), three rebounds and two assists in 40 minutes during Monday's 121-113 victory over the Celtics in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals.
EDGE Analysis
Anunoby went to the locker room after appearing to be bothered by a hamstring issue during the first quarter, but he returned to action shortly after and was one of four New York players who recorded at least 20 points. Anunoby scored seven combined points in Game 2 and Game 3, but he bounced back in a big way in this matchup. Through four games in the series, Anunoby is averaging 14.0 points per game while shooting 42.9 percent from the floor.

Anunoby (hamstring) checked back in to Monday's Game 4 against the Celtics, James L. Edwards III of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Anunoby went to the locker room after appearing to be bothered by a hamstring issue during the first quarter, but he was later spotted back on the bench wearing a wrap on his leg and was ultimately cleared to check back in with 4:58 remaining in the first half. His health will be worth monitoring the rest of the way Monday.

Anunoby exited to the locker room after sustaining an apparent hamstring injury during the first quarter of Monday's Game 4 against the Celtics, Steve Popper of Newsday reports.
EDGE Analysis
Anunoby appeared to hurt his hamstring in the first quarter but stayed in the game. However, he didn't return to the bench at the start of the second. If the 27-year-old forward is unable to return, Mitchell Robinson and Precious Achiuwa are candidates for a bump in minutes.

Anunoby supplied two points (1-6 FG, 0-2 3Pt), two rebounds and one assist across 31 minutes during Saturday's 115-93 loss to the Celtics in Game 3 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals.
EDGE Analysis
Anunoby delivered another lackluster performance in Saturday's blowout loss, scoring fewer than six points for the second straight outing. The 27-year-old forward erupted for 29 points in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals, though he has totaled only seven points while shooting 3-for-15 from the field over his last two games. Anunoby will likely need to step up if the team hopes to take a 3-1 series lead against the Celtics on Monday. He has averaged 12.0 points, 3.7 rebounds, 1.7 assists and 1.7 steals across 38.3 minutes per game in three second-round appearances.

Anunoby closed Monday's 108-105 overtime victory over the Celtics in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals with 29 points (10-20 FG, 6-11 3Pt, 3-4 FT), four rebounds, three assists and one steal over 46 minutes.
EDGE Analysis
Anunoby brought his offensive game Monday, matching Jalen Brunson with a team-high 29 points. Known largely as an elite defender, Anunoby has been relatively consistent on the offensive end during the postseason, having tallied at least 20 points in four of his seven appearances. The two teams will lock horns again Wednesday, when the Knicks will look to take a 2-0 lead in the series.

Anunoby registered 22 points (6-14 FG, 4-10 3Pt, 6-7 FT), five rebounds, one assist, two blocks and three steals in 44 minutes during Thursday's 116-113 victory over the Pistons in Game 6 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.
EDGE Analysis
Anunoby scored at least 20 points for the third game in the series, helping the Knicks to victory, and with it, a path to the second round of the playoffs. Anunoby has been solid on both ends of the court thus far during the postseason, averaging 17.3 points, 4.8 rebounds, 2.5 steals, 1.3 blocks and 2.2 three-pointers.
