Knicks' OG Anunoby: Posts 11 points in return
OG Anunoby (hamstring) recorded 11 points (4-8 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 3-4 FT) and one assist across 23 minutes in Friday's 146-112 win over the Jazz.Suiting up for the first time since Nov. 14 after a nine-game absence due to a left hamstring strain, Anunoby was on an unspecified minute restriction, and the New York Knicks' blowout win allowed head coach Mike Brown to keep his playing time in check. Anunoby didn't provide any especially noteworthy production in his return, but assuming he's cleared for more minutes in the Knicks' next game Sunday versus the Magic, fantasy managers can probably feel comfortable activating him.

Knicks' OG Anunoby: Questionable for Friday
OG Anunoby (hamstring) is being listed as questionable for Friday's game versus Utah, Stefan Bondy of The New York Post reports.Anunoby was recently cleared for contact work, and it sounds like he's responded well to the increased workload. We'll have a better idea of his status based on his activity level at Friday's shootaround, but if he is able to get back out there, Josh Hart or Miles McBride would likely head back to the second unit.
