Among all players in the league, Jalen Brunson places in the 88th percentile for playing time, registering a massive 34.7 minutes per game this year.The New York Knicks will likely see a rise in plays in this game from squaring off against the fastest pace-of-play team in the league this year (the Chicago Bulls).The Knicks rank as the 2nd-best offensive rebounding offense in the NBA when playing at home since the start of last season (offensive rebounds maintain possession and can therefore provide added chances for scoring and assists).Jalen Brunson has successfully made 6.2 free throws per game over the last 5 games, 1.1 higher than he's made over the course of the year.This year when they are on their home court, the opposition's starting PGs have attempted 4.9 foul shots per game (9th-most in the NBA) vs. the Chicago Bulls, making it fairly effortless to get to the foul line.
