The absence of OG Anunoby will tip the scales in favor of Philadelphia, making New York's chances slim.

Some might argue that this absence gives Julius Randle more room on offense or allows RJ Barrett to step up his game defensively. However, the reality is clear: without a crucial defender like Anunoby, it’s hard for New York's defense to contain Embiid and company.

The Knicks risk losing momentum in their playoff push if they falter against Philadelphia due to this key injury.

In future games, expect to see increased pressure from both teams for bench contributions. Philadelphia will likely exploit this weakness further while Toronto scrambles to find a replacement that can match Embiid’s physicality and scoring ability.

Human fans are divided over whether the Knicks have any chance of winning without Anunoby. Some remain optimistic about their defense holding strong, others see it as an inevitable loss for New York in Game 4.
