As a result, the Knicks are favored by 5.5 points at home in Game 2 against Atlanta, and <a href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/4kJjtBu\" rel=\"nofollow sponsored noopener\" target=\"_blank\">DraftKings Sportsbook<\/a> has New York set at -230 odds to take a 2-0 series lead. <\/p>\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">OG Anunoby (ankle) listed probable for Monday.<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Underdog NBA (@UnderdogNBA) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/UnderdogNBA\/status\/2045970940182274056?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">April 19, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-3\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"7c\">Anunoby rolled his ankle in the second half of the Knicks&#8217; Game 1 win, and he briefly exited the game with the injury. He returned to action later on in the second half, and the former first-round pick ended up playing 38 minutes in the Knicks&#8217; win.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-4\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"7f\">He finished with 18 points, eight rebounds and a steal, shooting 6-for-9 from the field and 2-for-3 from beyond the arc. <\/p>\n<p lang=\"tl\" dir=\"ltr\">OG Anunoby rolls ankle <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/vryR5ujvkX\" rel=\"nofollow\">pic.twitter.com\/vryR5ujvkX<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 New York Basketball (@NBA_NewYork) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/NBA_NewYork\/status\/2045651656457482463?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">April 18, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-6\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"7l\">Anunoby injured his ankle prior to the end of the regular season as well, so this injury is worth monitoring ahead of Game 2. The Knicks need Anunoby&#8217;s size on the wing if they want to compete for an NBA title, and the star forward drew the Jalen Johnson assignment for a lot of Game 1 on Saturday.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-7\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"7o\">During the regular season, Anunoby appeared in 67 games for the Knicks, averaging 16.7 points, 5.2 rebounds and 2.2 assists per game while shooting 48.4 percent from the field and 38.6 percent from 3-point range. <\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-8\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"7r\">Based on the probable tag, Anunoby should be able to play his usual role on Monday night. <\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-10\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"7w\">Odds refresh periodically and are subject to change.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-11\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"7z\">If you or someone you know has a gambling problem and wants help, call 1-800-GAMBLER.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-12\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"82\">Claim the latest\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.si.com\/betting\/sportsbook-promos\/draftkings-promo-code\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">DraftKings promo code<\/a>\u00a0offer today.
