Anunoby's Health Looms Large in Game 7
The Knicks' biggest X-factor for Game 7 is the health of OG Anunoby. Anunoby has been out since Game 2 with a hamstring injury, but he is reportedly a possibility to return on Sunday. The Knicks went 20-3 in games that Anunoby played this season, so his return would be a major boost for their chances of winning Game 7 and advancing to the Eastern Conference Finals.
