Out of all players in the league, Jalen Brunson measures in the 95th percentile for playing time, tallying a monstrous 35.3 minutes per game with the home court advantage this year.The New York Knicks will likely see a spike in plays in this contest from squaring off against the 10th-most up-tempo tempo offense in the NBA over the last 15 games (the Houston Rockets).The New York Knicks check in as the 2nd-best offensive rebounding offense in the NBA over the last 5 games (offensive rebounds maintain possession and may therefore provide added chances for scoring and assists).The Rockets have allowed the 8th-least offensive boards per game (10.4) in the league to opposing squads this year (offensive rebounds maintain possession, and a lack of them may therefore eliminate further chances for scoring and assists).Jalen Brunson should see a spike in output across the board considering holding the home court advantage in this game.
