OG Anunoby posts 20-10-8 line in Knicks loss to Celtics

Fantasy basketball: Anunoby flirted with a triple-double Friday, delivering his best all-around effort in two games this season, and remains a hold in all…

By Fantasy Roundup Staff · October 24, 2026

OG Anunoby recorded 20 points, 10 rebounds, eight assists, two threes and three turnovers on 5-of-11 shooting and 8-of-10 from the line in 34 minutes as a starter in the Knicks' 107-103 loss to the Celtics on Friday, October 23.

The line marks a strong showing across categories for nine-cat managers, with the rebounds and assists both well above his typical output. Points-league managers benefit from the 41 fantasy points (default scoring), though Anunoby's season usage sits at just 19.4 per cent on 37.5 per cent true shooting through two games. He projects for 28.8 fantasy points per game and ranks 63rd overall with a Roundup Score of 75.

OG Anunoby

Anunoby's 10 rebounds and eight assists both exceeded his season-to-date marks of 7.5 and 4.0, and the rebounding total nearly doubled his last-season average of 5.2 per game over 67 outings. The 20 points also topped his season average of 15.0, though his 16.7 points per game last season shows he can sustain that scoring level. He failed to record a steal or block after averaging 1.6 and 0.7 respectively last season, limiting his defensive-category value.

The Knicks have one game remaining this week, Friday, and no games next week. Anunoby's 34 minutes and 100 per cent start share suggest his role is secure, but the low usage rate and poor shooting efficiency leave room for concern. He remains a hold in all formats given his ability to contribute across multiple categories and his projected 28.8 fantasy points per game in default points scoring.

What to do

• Keep Anunoby rostered in all formats as a hold, banking on improved efficiency as the season progresses.

• Start him Friday when the Knicks close their week, expecting solid category coverage despite the lack of defensive stats in this outing.

• Monitor his usage and shooting numbers over the next few games to gauge whether the early-season struggles persist.
