The Knicks should aim for increased consistency from Donte DiVincenzo and OG Anunoby.
Anunoby’s record shows 23 games in a row with a favorable plus-minus, leading the Knicks to a 20-3 record during his time on the court. This streak was interrupted by a two-month break for surgery on his right elbow.

“I am not concerned about my actions,” stated Brunson. “Our team suffered a defeat in which we allowed 43 points in the third quarter. Therefore, my primary focus is finding ways to adapt to that situation.”
Brunson recovered from a two-game period of struggling with his shooting (29.1 percent) and scored 39 points in a losing game on Thursday.
The ex-Villanova player did not score in the latter half, failing to make any of his two 3-point attempts after the break.
He has a total of minus-14 in the series going into the fourth game on Sunday, with a deficit of minus-5 in the first game and a net gain of plus-1 in the second game.

“I honestly don’t want to sound pessimistic, but at the moment, I don’t give much significance to our current situation,” stated DiVincenzo. “I’m focused on winning the next game and then the next two after that before any further reflection.”
However, in two out of the three games against the Sixers, Anunoby has had a negative impact for the Knicks as they have allowed more points than they have scored while he was on the court. In Game 3, he had a career low of minus-10 in 39 minutes since being traded.
“In Game 3, the Knicks were able to break through and have Jalen Brunson contribute, but their top two starters, Donte DiVincenzo and OG Anunoby, have had an inconsistent performance in the first three games of their series against the 76ers.”

DiVincenzo sealed the Bucks’ victory by scoring a go-ahead 3-pointer with 13.0 seconds left in Game 2. However, he had another unproductive game in terms of scoring in Game 3, resulting in a loss for the Knicks.
Although Anunoby scored 17 points and had multiple dunks in the loss on Thursday, his defensive prowess has not been as consistent as it was after he was traded from the Raptors late in December and dealing with an injury.
