Lmfao 7.5 assists** #The Knicks’ dynamic lead guard is Questionable (calf) for tonight but Coach Thibs mentioned it’s more of a pain tolerance issue than a further injury risk. This matchup with the Rockets is interesting. They’ve been solid defensively on the season; however, they’ve seen a precipitous drop off from their full season numbers since the start of 2024. Their defensive rating has increased from 111.6 in 2023 to 115.7. That’s still above league average; however, margins matter. Brunson has been excellent with OG Anunoby. He is averaging 8.7 assists on 15.8 potentials while exceeding this line in 4/6. The offense had been humming with Brunson, and it’s evident that he will be needed to bolster the offense and keep it from stalling. I like Brunson to exceed his 7.5 Assists line.

A.Sengun u26.5 Pts+Ast-115

Knicks allowing the 3rd fewest P+A to opposing centers over the L15 (the Hartenstein era) - and the lowest FG%. End of a long road trip for the Rockets, and Sengun under in 5/L7 as is. Better matchup for FVV/Jalen Green (whoever OG doesn’t guard) Jabari Smith.
