With both Julius Randle and OG Anunoby out of the rotation since the January 27th matchup against the Miami Heat, the Knicks have had to look elsewhere for production.
Replacing the offensive numbers Randle was putting up (24 PPG, 9.2 RPG, 5 APG) is incredibly difficult if not outright impossible, as is replicating the kind of elite defensive ability and versatility that Anunoby possesses. That being said, the Knicks have been able to stay afloat in the 14 games they’ve played without the aforementioned starters, going 6-8 in those contests and holding on for dear life to the no.
