Kornet (illness) is questionable for Saturday's Game 5 of the NBA Finals against the Knicks, Raul Dominguez Jr. of the Associated Press reports. Kornet is under the weather and may be held out of Saturday's do-or-die matchup. The veteran big man's absence wouldn't cause any significant waves in the rotation, though Victor Wembanyama and Carter Bryant could pick up a few extra minutes.
Towns logged 13 points (4-5 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 4-4 FT), 10 rebounds and two assists in 26 minutes during Wednesday's 107-106 victory over the Spurs in Game 4 of the NBA Finals. Towns picked up two fouls within the first minute of the game, ultimately limiting him to just 26 minutes. However, he certainly played a key role for the Knicks down the stretch, as New York recorded the biggest comeback victory in the history of the NBA Finals. Towns continues to play arguably the best basketball of his career, and will hope to ride that momentum into San Antonio when the two teams meet again on Saturday.
Brunson recorded 36 points (12-25 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 9-11 FT), five rebounds, seven assists and three steals over 44 minutes during Wednesday's 107-106 victory over the Spurs in Game 4 of the NBA Finals. Brunson scored at least 30 points for the second straight game, as he continues to do everything humanly possible to bring the NBA title to New York. Despite some inefficient shooting, Brunson has remained calm and collected, highlighted by the improbable comeback Wednesday. Now leading the series 3-1, New York will head to San Antonio on a high, looking to wrap things up in five games.
Harper logged 21 points (8-12 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds and three assists across 32 minutes during Wednesday's 107-106 loss to the Knicks in Game 4 of the NBA Finals. Harper continues to make a name for himself on the biggest stage, providing the Spurs with much-needed offensive production. It continues what has been a stellar postseason for the rookie, a fact that will certainly not be lost on fantasy managers heading into the 2026-27 campaign. Now trailing 3-1 in the series, the Spurs will head home for what is obviously a must-win game on Saturday.
Champagnie chipped in five points (2-9 FG, 1-7 3Pt), five rebounds, three assists and four steals across 33 minutes during Wednesday's 107-106 loss to New York in Game 4 of the NBA Finals. Champagnie was mostly a non-factor, tallying just five points. While he was able to contribute four steals on the defensive end, his production on the offensive end remains sketchy, at best. Through four games in the NBA Finals, he has averaged just 10.3 points and 2.8 three-pointers per contest.
Wembanyama finished with 24 points (9-25 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 4-7 FT), 13 rebounds, three blocks and one assist across 44 minutes in Wednesday's 107-106 loss to the Knicks in Game 4 of the NBA Finals. Wembanyama struggled mightily with efficiency, particularly in the second half, when he shot 3-for-14 from the field and scored just eight points. Still, the superstar big man led the Spurs in points, rebounds and blocks while securing his second double-double of the Finals. Wembanyama and the Spurs will now turn their attention to Saturday's Game 5 in San Antonio, where they'll look to stave off elimination.
Anunoby supplied 33 points (10-15 FG, 7-9 3Pt, 6-6 FT), four rebounds, one assist, one steal and one block across 41 minutes in Wednesday's 107-106 win over the Spurs in Game 4 of the NBA Finals. Anunoby finished second on the Knicks in scoring with an extremely efficient performance, and he put back a game-winning tip-in off a missed Jalen Brunson three-pointer in the closing seconds. Brunson and Anunoby combined for 69 points as New York rallied from a 29-point deficit. The 28-year-old forward has been outstanding this postseason, scoring 17 or more points in six straight games and at least 28 points in each of the last two. Anunoby and the Knicks will now turn their attention to Saturday's Game 5 in San Antonio, where they'll look to secure the franchise's first championship since 1973.
Anunoby provided 28 points (9-13 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 7-9 FT), five rebounds, one assist and two blocks in 38 minutes during Monday's 115-111 loss to the Spurs in Game 3 of the NBA Finals. Anunoby scored 28 points, eclipsing 20 points for just the second time in his past seven games. With that said, he has been arguably the most consistent player for the Knicks this postseason, averaging 18.1 points, 5/0 rebounds, 2.1 three-pointers and 2.1 combined steals and blocks in his past seven appearances.
