Jalen Brunson Points Prop is currently Over/Under 27.5 (-110/-115).
Key Factors
Favors Over
The matchup vs. the Hawks is a positive one for 3-point shots; opposing starting PGs have totaled the 5th-most treys per game in the NBA this year (2.8).
The Knicks will likely see an increase in possessions today from squaring off against the 6th-speediest pace-of-play away offense in the NBA this year (the Hawks).
The Knicks rank as the 3rd-best offensive rebounding offense in the NBA while playing at home this year (offensive rebounds maintain possession and can therefore create added chances for scoring and assists).
Favors Under
The Knicks have played at the most sluggish pace-of-play in the NBA over the last 25 games.
As a team, the New York Knicks have been lousy at getting to the foul line in recent games: 4th-worst in the league over the last 25 games, averaging a mere 20.4 free throws per game.
The matchup against the Hawks may be a challenging one for getting to the free-throw line; the opposition's starting PGs have attempted a lowly 3.3 free throws per game over the last 20 games (3rd-least in the NBA).
