OG Anunoby could be the New York Knicks' answer for their opponents come playoff time. The Knicks will need a lot from him, and his teammate Josh Hart has the perfect prescription to unleash him for the playoffs against the Detroit Pistons.

During an episode of "Roommates Show" on Friday, while discussing recent impressive performances from Anunoby, Hart quipped about how to unlock his teammate.

"We need [Sunisa Lee] or Anne Hathaway at every game during this playoff run," Hart said.

Anunoby had a 40-point game against the Denver Nuggets in November last year. However, he lacked consistency throughout the season but found his rhythm just a few weeks before the playoffs.

In the last 21 games, OG Anunoby has looked more and more like himself on both ends of the floor. Of those 21 games, he has had three 30-point, five 25-point, and eight 20-point games.

The third-seeded Knicks will face the sixth-seeded Detroit Pistons in the Eastern Conference first-round series.

Anne Hathaway once thanked OG Anunoby for almost crashing into her courtside

The New York Knicks faced the Chicago Bulls on Nov. 13 at Madison Square Garden. Although the night ended in disappointment for the hosts, someone's night was made. Anne Hathaway got her dream fulfilled when OG Anunoby almost crashed into the Hollywood actress who was sitting courtside.

During the first quarter, he tried to steal a ball that touched his left hand and flew into the stands. When Anunoby rushed to grab the ball from going out of bounds, he almost crashed into Hathaway, who was sitting with her son.

The next day, Hathaway posted a video thanking the Knicks star for fulfilling her dream.

"I almost got crashed into last night. I always wanted that to happen. Thanks, OG," Anne Hathaway said in the video.

If Anunoby were to request Hathaway to support him from courtside, it's likely that the Hollywood actress would gladly accept the invitation, at least for her son's love for the Knicks.
