OG Anunoby

OG Anunoby compiled 11 points (5-12 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 0-1 FT), seven rebounds and two blocks across 36 minutes in the Raptors’ OT win over the Pelicans on Tuesday.

Fantasy Impact

Anunoby logged just 20.2 minutes per contest last season in 67 appearances, including six starts. He’ll have a much bigger role this season, and that could make him a useful option at forward in deeper leagues due to his rebounding abilities.

According to Raptors reporter Blake Murphy on Wednesday, OG Anunoby has been upgraded to questionable for game one of the NBA Finals on Thursday night. Anunoby had an emergency appendectomy done right before the first round of the playoffs vs. the Orlando Magic and has not played since.

Fantasy Impact

This comes as a bit of a surprise, as Raptors coach Nick Nurse was quoted on Tuesday saying OG was still at least ten days away from game action. Anunoby put up seven points and 2.9 rebounds this year while serving as one of the Raptors best defenders. Don’t expect OG to play many minutes once he returns to action, and his only contribution to your fantasy team would be the odd three-pointer.

OG Anunoby (concussion) is out on Thursday against the Knicks.

Fantasy Impact

The Raptors are comfortable in the second seed so no need to rush OG back here with a concussion. Pascal Siakam and Norm Powell will see added opportunities in his absence.

OG Anunoby played 24 minutes on Sunday against the Clippers but only had four points, three rebounds, and two steals. He shot 1-of-3 from the field and missed both of his three-point tries.

Fantasy Impact

After missing five straight games, Anunoby has had very little impact over his last four games averaging 2.8 points and 1.8 rebounds in about 13 minutes per game. He only has fantasy value in DFS when he fills in for Kawhi Leonard.

OG Anunoby is out for his third straight game on Tuesday night but he's on track to make his return on Wednesday night against the Pacers.

Fantasy Impact

Anunoby's absence has given CJ Miles and Norman Powell more minutes and they've both produced. He should be slotted back into his bench role once he returns.
