The matchup against the Washington Wizards is a good one; they have given up the 7th-most points per game in the NBA to the opposing team's starting SFs this year (15.7).The Knicks are expected to get a boost in opportunities today from being pitted against the 2nd-speediest pace team in the league over the last 5 games (the Wizards).The Knicks check in as the best offensive rebounding offense in the league over the last 5 games (offensive rebounds maintain possession and may therefore provide additional opportunities for scoring and assists).Over the last 5 games when they have the home court advantage, the other team's starting SFs have attempted 4.2 foul shots per game (7th-most in the league) against the Wizards, making it fairly effortless to get to the charity stripe.
