Jalen Brunson<\/a> and the New York Knicks<\/a> are coming up on Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Finals against the Cleveland Cavaliers<\/a> on Tuesday.<\/p>\n The Cavs are hot off a road win<\/a> over the Detroit Pistons<\/a> on Sunday, while the Knicks have been resting since their sweep over the Philadelphia 76ers<\/a> on May 10. So, the Knicks have the advantage of being rested up and ready to go.<\/p>\n Now, New York has another advantage. They just got an OG Anunoby<\/a> update that’s nothing but good news.<\/p>\n After plenty of questions surrounding OG Anunoby’s hamstring injury, ESPN NBA insider Shams Charania<\/a> delivered a clear and positive update Monday on “The Pat McAfee Show.”<\/a><\/p>\n According to Charania’s report, Anunoby is expected to be able to play in Game 1, set for Tuesday evening at Madison Square Garden.<\/p>\n “You’re going to have a little bit of rust maybe to start, but OG Anunoby is going to be playing in Game 1,” Charania said<\/a>. “He suffered a low-grade hamstring strain against the Sixers, missed the last two games of that series.”<\/p>\n He added, “Thankfully for them, it was a sweep, allowed him to rest. And now, because they were able to get even more additional days, he’s going to be good to go for Game 1 tomorrow night.”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n That is big news for the Knicks as the team gets ready for this significant series.\u00a0Anunoby experienced a low-grade right hamstring strain while playing in Game 2 of the Knicks’ second-round series against the 76ers. Before the injury, Anunoby had been playing extremely well, so it was a blow to the team to lose him, even though they were still able to sweep the 76ers.<\/p>\n If Anunoby stays healthy and can play against the Cavaliers, that increases the Knicks’ chances of taking down Cleveland in what’s shaping up to be a close and contentious series.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\nKnicks get great OG Anunoby update ahead of Game 1 vs. Cavaliers<\/h2>\n
