Jalen Brunson (neck) trending toward playing Thursday for Knicks
New York Knicks guard Jalen Brunson (neck) will warm up with the intention to play against the Golden State Warriors on Thursday, per head coach Tom Thibodeau.
What It Means:
Brunson is listed as questionable, but he's trending toward returning from a one-game absence. That will send Miles McBride back to the second unit on Thursday night. There will also be fewer ball-handling opportunities for Bojan Bogdanovic, Donte DiVincenzo, and Josh Hart.
numberFire's models project Brunson for 36.6 minutes and 44.6 FanDuel points on Thursday. Per our NBA Heat Map, the Knicks' implied total (108.75) is second-lowest out of 12 teams on the Main slate. However, the Warriors are allowing the sixth-most FanDuel points per game to point guards this season.
