OG ANUNOBY NEWS

Middling output Monday Anunoby notched 13 points (4-12 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 5-7 FT), four rebounds, one assist and three steals across 39 minutes during Monday's 111-97 loss to the Bulls.

Impact Despite playing a season-high 39 minutes in the contest, Anunoby converted it into just 13 points. He remains a pest on the defensive end of the floor, recording three or more steals in five straight games and averaging 4.4 over that span, but he didn't really fill the box score Monday as he has on previous occasions. Still, Anunoby's defensive prowess and usable stat offerings in other areas have launched him into top-50 status -- 21st per game, 40th per 36 -- early in the year.

Big fourth quarter Sunday Anunoby supplied 22 points (10-19 FG, 2-5 3Pt), six rebounds, three assists, one block and three steals in 38 minutes during Sunday's 113-104 victory over Chicago.

Impact Anunoby scored 11 of his 22 points in the final quarter, making five of his eight shot attempts. After getting off to a slow start shooting this season, he has turned it around of late, averaging 19.2 points and making 52.3 percent of his shots and 38.7 percent of his three-point tries. With the three steals Sunday, he now has 28 steals through the season's first nine games, the most in basketball.

Scores team-high 27 Anunoby finished Friday's 111-110 loss to Dallas with 27 points (11-21 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 1-1 FT), seven rebounds, one assist and five steals in 38 minutes.

Impact Anunoby logged his best offensive performance thus far, hitting a season-high four threes en route to his season-high 27 points. Anunoby has connected on at least 50.0 percent of his shots in three straight games, and he'll look to stay hot Sunday against Chicago.

Raptors' O.G. Anunoby eyes Defensive Player of the Year award: 'I've always thought I was the best defender in the league' O.G. Anunoby may be selective with his words, but when he speaks, it's usually to say something impactful.

Comes up big on defensive end Anunoby tallied 14 points (5-10 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds, six steals, three assists and two blocks across 32 minutes Monday in the Raptors' 139-109 win over the Hawks.

Impact Though he didn't benefit from a bump in usage with Fred VanVleet (back) out of the lineup, Anunoby more than made up for it with his huge production on the defensive end. He's now recorded both a steal and a block in all but one of his seven games this season, averaging 2.6 and 1.0 per contest in both categories, respectively.

NOVEMBER 1, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Scores season-best 19 points Anunoby produced 19 points (7-16 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 3-5 FT), nine rebounds, two assists, one block and two steals over 36 minutes during Friday's 112-90 loss to the 76ers.

Impact Anunoby tends to have a secondary role in the Raptors' offensive scheme, but he attempted a season-high 19 shots in Friday's loss -- which resulted in his best scoring mark of the campaign. Even though he's clearly behind Pascal Siakam, Fred VanVleet and perhaps Scottie Barnes in the offensive scheme, Anunoby has managed to stay consistent and has scored in double figures in all but one of his six outings so far, but he has surpassed the 15-point mark just twice.

Attempts just four shots in win Anunoby finished Monday's 98-90 victory over the Heat with six points (2-4 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT), seven rebounds, one block and two steals over 34 minutes.

Impact Anunoby wasn't aggressive offensively and failed to score in double figures for the first time this season. However, he did finish with at least five rebounds, one steal and one block for a fourth consecutive contest to start the campaign. Across four appearances, the sixth-year forward has averaged 11.8 points, 7.0 rebounds, 1.8 steals, 1.5 assists and 1.0 blocks across 36.8 minutes.

Big fourth quarter in win Anunoby accumulated 18 points (5-12 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 6-7 FT), seven rebounds, five assists, one block and three steals across 38 minutes during Wednesday's 108-105 win over Cleveland.

Impact Ten of his 18 points came in the fourth quarter as the Raptors rallied from an eight-point deficit, with Anunoby's length and athleticism giving the Cavaliers' defense fits. He hasn't played more than 48 games in either of the last two seasons, but if Anunoby can stay healthy, the 25-year-old could be poised for a breakout campaign.

Pops for game-high 32 points Anunoby closed with 32 points (13-21 FG, 4-5 3Pt, 2-4 FT), six rebounds and two blocks in 29 minutes during Friday's preseason win over the Celtics.

Impact Anunoby went off to the tune of 32 points, highlighting just how far his offensive game has come. He obviously not going to score like this on a nightly basis but it does lift his fantasy floor, making him a solid mid-round target. Coming off a season littered with absences, the Raptors will be hoping he can stay relatively healthy this season, as will prospective managers.
