Jalen Brunson (hand) inactive Thursday for Knicks versus Magic
New York Knicks point guard Jalen Brunson (sprained right hand) is out Thursday versus the Orlando Magic.
What It Means:
Brunson has been downgraded from questionable after being a late addition to the injury report for the second leg of the Knicks' back-to-back. Immanuel Quickley will likely start in place of Brunson and Miles McBride will have more minutes off the bench.
Quickley is averaging 40.9 minutes and 42.5 FanDuel points across nine games without Brunson this season. He has a $5,700 salary on Thursday's four-game slate, making him an appealing value option. Per our NBA Heat Map, the Knicks’ implied total is 115.0 and the game total is 227.5.
