Jalen Brunson (hand) now iffy for Knicks' second leg Thursday
New York Knicks point guard Jalen Brunson (sprained right hand) is questionable for Thursday versus the Orlando Magic.
What It Means:
Brunson is a late addition to the injury report for the second leg of the Knicks' back-to-back. Mitchell Robinson is also uncertain, potentially leaving the Knicks without two starters in Orlando Thursday night. Immanuel Quickley will likely start if Brunson is ruled out, while Miles McBride would have more minutes off the bench.
Brunson has a $9,000 salary on Thursday’s four-game slate and numberFire's models project him for 37.1 FanDuel points over 34.0 minutes. He averaged 38.3 FanDuel points in two previous matchups with the Magic this season. Per our NBA Heat Map, the Knicks’ implied total is 116.0 and the game total is 228.5.
