Compared to last year's 34.0 rate, RJ Barrett's playing time has been reduced this year to 29.3 minutes per game.The Knicks have played at the 2nd-most lethargic tempo in the NBA this year.The Knicks are expected to experience a decrease in opportunities in this game from squaring off against the 2nd-least up-tempo pace home offense in the league over the last 10 games (the Nets).The Brooklyn Nets have given up the 3rd-most offensive rebounds per game (12.2) in the league to opposing squads over the last 5 games (offensive rebounds maintain possession and may therefore provide new chances for scoring and assists).RJ Barrett will likely suffer a reduction in efficiency for all stats due to playing away from home in this game.
