Justin Russo: Random factoid: Trey Murphy III is 3 dunks away from being the third player this season to log at least 100 dunks and 100 made 3s. The two who have done it so far are Victor Wembanyama and OG Anunoby. Murphy would be the only player this season to get to 100 dunks and 200 3s.
An understanding of Redick’s scheme means contextualizing Dončić’s defensive skill set, highlighting what he is good at and attempting to mask what he’s deficient in. Contesting shots, arguably the second-most important aspect of defense outside of positioning, is a strength of his, with Dončić in the 95th percentile in shots contested per 100 possessions and 87th percentile in rim contests. This particularly manifests itself as an isolation defender, when teams try to pick at him; Dončić is allowing just 0.844 points per possession in 109 isolations this year, a hairline below Amen Thompson, and a better mark than Jaden McDaniels and OG Anunoby.
Ian Begley: Josh Hart finishes with 33 points (12-for-13 shooting), 7 rebounds and 5 assists as Knicks take care of business against Indiana. OG Anunoby had 26p and Jose Alvarado had 10 assists while starting in place of the injured Jalen Brunson
Justin Martinez: Final: Thunder 103, Knicks 100 Chet Holmgren: 28 points and 8 rebounds Shai Gilgeous-Alexander: 26 points and 8 assists Lu Dort: 16 points and 4 rebounds Jalen Brunson and OG Anunoby missed a pair of game-tying 3-pointers in the closing seconds. OKC improves to 49-15.
What made you decide to leave the city that you won a championship with? Fred VanVleet: My time was just up. There's always a carryover from a championship and we just weren't able to gel that group together like we were supposed to. That team, me, Scottie Barnes, Pascal Siakam, OG Anunoby, like on paper you're like ‘damn that's a good ass team’, but we never really like made it what it was supposed to be. So my time was up and Houston came calling and yeah, we got such and such. I'm like, "Huh? What you mean?" I hung up. I called. You said, "How much?" All right, cool. Yeah, I love Houston. It's my favorite city in the world, actually. You know, so that was really it. And I wrapped my mind around it, but they had young talent there.

Knicks down Bucks 127-98 behind 27 points from Jalen Brunson, 24 points from OG Anunoby.
Ian Begley: As expected, OG Anunoby will be available to play tonight vs DET
Omari Sankofa II: Stewart (suspension) and Duren (suspension) are the only Pistons out tomorrow against the Knicks. KAT and Brunson are healthy. Anunoby (right toenail avulsion) is questionable
James Edwards III: Brown on Sochan: "When you look at Jeremy, you like his size right off the bat, especially for a forward. OG is of that size, but no one else is really of that size." Pointed at defensive versatility, being able to guard 1-5. Said good insurance if OG or Josh miss games.

Ian Begley: Mitchell Robinson is out tomorrow vs IND due to ankle injury management. He hasn’t played both games of back to backs this year, so he’ll presumably play Weds at PHI after sitting vs IND. OG Anunoby (toe) is questionable for IND, has missed past 2 games due to the toe injury.
Stefan Bondy: Updates to Knicks injury report: Josh Hart has been upgraded to PROBABLE. Karl-Anthony Towns has been downgraded to DOUBTFUL. OG Anunoby has been downgraded to QUESTIONABLE with toe soreness. Jose Alvarado is out (not with team)
