Kawhi Leonard Shares Incredibly High Praise For OG Anunoby LA Clippers star Kawhi Leonard has seen OG Anunoby develop with the Toronto Raptors

Big first quarter Friday Anunoby closed Friday's 118-107 victory over the Cavaliers with 26 points (10-17 FG, 6-9 3Pt), nine rebounds, two assists and two steals in 38 minutes.

Impact Anunoby scored 10 of his 26 points in the first quarter, making four of seven shot attempts and playing all 12 minutes. It was just the second time he's scored more than 20 points in his last six contests. Since returning from a hip injury that cost him four games, Anunoby is averaging 18.0 points and 6.3 rebounds while making 50.0 percent of his shots in three appearances.

Struggles from deep Wednesday Anunoby had 15 points (7-15 FG, 1-6 3Pt), six rebounds, an assist and a block across 36 minutes in Wednesday's 113-106 win over the Knicks.

Impact Pascal Siakam grabbed all the headlines following his career-best, 52-point performance, but Anunoby still posted a decent stat line despite his shooting woes. He scores in double digits on a regular basis and owns a high floor in most fantasy formats, as he complements those scoring numbers with decent peripheral stats, but an uptick on his long-range shooting wouldn't hurt. After going 1-for-6 from deep Wednesday, Anunoby is now shooting a career-worst 32.8 percent from three-point range this season.

Productive in return Anunoby (hip) contributed 13 points (4-10 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 2-4 FT), four rebounds, three assists, one block and two steals over 40 minutes during Monday's 104-101 overtime loss to the...

Impact Rejoining the starting lineup after missing four games due to a hip injury, Anunoby looked a little rusty offensively but still made his usual strong contribution at the defensive end of the court. It's the sixth time in his last nine games he's collected at least one steal and one block, a stretch in which the 25-year-old is averaging 19.1 points, 5.1 boards, 2.2 steals, 2.0 assists, 1.7 threes and 0.8 blocks.

Starting in return Anunoby (hip) is available and starting Monday's matchup against the 76ers, Vivek Jacob of the Raptors' official site reports.

Impact Anunoby has missed four straight contests due to a hip injury, but he'll make his return to game action Monday. It's unclear if he'll be limited or not, but the sixth-year forward has averaged 19.0 points, 5.8 rebounds and 2.4 steals across 36.7 minutes this season -- all career highs.

Game-time decision Monday Anunoby (hip) is a game-time decision for Monday's contest against the 76ers, Austin Krell of USA Today reports.

Impact Anunoby has missed Toronto's past four contests and is still uncertain for Monday night. If the defensive-minded forward is unable to suit up against the 76ers, his next chance to return comes Wednesday against the Knicks.

DECEMBER 19, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Officially listed as questionable Anunoby (hip) is questionable for Monday's matchup against the 76ers, Eric Koreen of The Athletic reports.

Impact Coach Nike Nurse said Sunday that Anunoby, who's missed four straight games due to a hip injury, is expected to play sometime this week, and it appears the versatile forward could be back in the mix as soon as Monday. If Anunoby doesn't play against Philadelphia, look for him to return either Wednesday against the Knicks or Friday versus the Cavaliers.

DECEMBER 19, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Expected back soon Head coach Nick Nurse said Sunday that Anunoby (hip) is expected to play at some point in the Raptors' upcoming three-game week, Michael Grange of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Impact Anunoby is out for Sunday's contest against the Warriors due to a hip injury that's already cost him three matchups. Toronto has three games during the upcoming week, starting with Monday's matchup in Philadelphia. He can probably be ruled out for that contest, but based on Nurse's comments, Anunoby may be an option for Wednesday at the Knicks or Friday at the Cavaliers. The likelihood of fantasy managers getting two games out of Anunoby at most means he may not be a viable lineup option in weekly formats.

DECEMBER 18, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Out at least a week Anunoby didn't display anything worrisome in the imaging on his hip but will be re-evaluated in a week, Eric Koreen of The Athletic reports.

Impact Anunoby has missed one contest already but will skip at least four more as he works back from hip soreness. Gary Trent started and played 43 minutes with Anunoby out Sunday and figures to maintain a starting spot in the interim. The other starters also logged additional minutes, while Khem Birch and Dalano Banton picked up some spare work off the bench.

DECEMBER 13, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Ruled out Sunday Anunoby (hip) has been ruled out for Sunday's matchup in Orlando, Josh Lewenberg of TSN.ca reports.

Impact Anunoby will miss his first game of the season Sunday due to a hip injury. In his absence, Gary Trent will likely be inserted into the starting lineup. Anunoby's next chance to suit up will come Wednesday against the Kings.

DECEMBER 11, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable to suit up Sunday Anunoby is questionable to play in Sunday's contest versus the Magic due to left hip soreness, Eric Smith of Sportsnet 590 The Fan reports.

Impact Anunoby hasn't missed a game yet this season, but he could skip Sunday depending on how things go over the next 24 hours. Anunoby logged a season-high 44 minutes in Friday's game, so it would also serve as a rest opportunity for him after 40-plus minutes in two of the last three. The team should clarify his status on game day.

Turns in strong final line Anunoby finished Wednesday's 126-113 victory over the Lakers with 23 points (8-19 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 5-6 FT), six rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal over 34 minutes.

Impact Anunoby socred 20-plus points for the third time in his last three contests, and he packed the stat sheet Wednesday evening. He's registered a block in back-to-back contests and is averaging an impressive 1.9 steals over his last nine matchups.

Modest production in loss Anunoby finished with 13 points (6-14 FG, 1-5 3Pt), five rebounds, one block and three steals over 42 minutes during Monday's 116-110 loss to the Celtics.

Impact After tying his season high with 32 points Saturday, Anunoby's 13 points Monday feels insignificant. Nonetheless, the sixth-year forward has scored in double figures in 23 of 24 appearances this season and is averaging 19.1 points, 5.8 rebounds, 2.3 steals and 2.2 assists in 36.5 minutes.

Celtics' Jayson Tatum told OG Anunoby he'll see him in Utah for the All-Star game The two NBA players go back to their days in Missouri.

Adds 21 points in loss Anunoby notched 21 points (8-16 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 5-7 FT), six rebounds, one assist and two steals in 38 minutes during Friday's game against the Nets.

Impact Anunoby had an efficient shooting night and has now finished with 20 or more points in three of his last four contests. He also continues to show off his quick hands on the defensive end, recording a steal in six straight matchups. Anunoby is averaging 18.8 points, 6.0 rebounds, 2.2 assists and 2.3 steals over 22 games this season.

Lights it up from deep in win Anunoby closed Monday's 100-88 win over Cleveland with 20 points (8-13 FG, 4-6 3Pt), one rebound, two assists, one block and one steal across 37 minutes.

Impact Anunoby led the Raptors in scoring and three pointers made in Monday's victory, also leading the team in field goals made. Anunoby has surpassed the 20-point scoring mark eight time this season while matching a season-high in shots made from beyond the arc.

Goes off in second half Anunoby ended with 26 points (9-19 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 6-7 FT), nine rebounds, two assists, two blocks and two steals across 43 minutes during Saturday's 105-100 win over the Mavericks.

Impact After hitting just two of six shots for six points in the first half, Anunoby took over the game in the final two quarters with 20 points on 7-of-13 shooting from the field to go along with seven boards, two steals and two blocks. It was a monster effort for Anunoby down the stretch, as Toronto handed Dallas its third consecutive loss. He's now recorded 25 or more points in four of his last six games. It was also his third straight game with two steals.

NOVEMBER 27, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Best scoring performance so far Anunoby logged 32 points (13-18 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 5-6 FT), 10 rebounds, three assists and one block in 43 minutes during Wednesday's 112-104 victory over the Heat.

Impact Anunoby enjoyed a strong shooting night and secured his second double-double of the 2022-23 campaign, with his first dating back to Nov. 9 against Houston. The Indiana product easily led the Raptors in scoring and he ended the contest tied for the team in rebounds with Chris Boucher. Anunoby is averaging 18.3 points, 6.4 rebounds, 1.9 assists, 2.5 steals and 1.0 block through 16 games this year.

NOVEMBER 17, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Leads all scorers in loss Anunoby posted 26 points (9-16 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 6-7 FT), two rebounds, three assists, two blocks and one steal over 36 minutes during Saturday's 118-104 loss to the Pacers.

Impact Anunoby put together another stellar performance despite the loss, continuing what has been a fantastic start to the season. He is the 16th-ranked player thus far, thanks largely to his league-leading 2.9 steals per game. While this could be considered a sell-high opportunity, there is also a chance he sticks as a top-30 player the rest of the way. Given you are unlikely to get a second round talent back in a trade, staying put could be a worthwhile strategy.

NOVEMBER 13, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Delivers double-double in win Anunoby registered 27 points (10-20 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 3-4 FT), 10 rebounds, three steals, a block and an assist across 39 minutes in Wednesday's 116-109 win over the Rockets.

Impact Anunoby is still searching for consistency on the offensive end, as he can light up the scoreboard in one game and deliver an absolute dud in the next one. But he seems to be trending in the right direction after surpassing the 20-point mark in three of his last four contests. That, alongside his elite defensive ability, makes him a strong fantasy player regardless of the format. His defensive numbers are simply incredible, as he's now reached six straight games with three or more steals.
