Jalen Brunson (hand) ruled out Wednesday for Knicks
New York Knicks point guard Jalen Brunson (right hand injury maintenance) is out Wednesday versus the Indiana Pacers.
What It Means:
Brunson played the last three games, but he will sit Wednesday due to a lingering hand injury. RJ Barrett (illness) might miss another game, so Miles McBride could join Immanuel Quickley and Quentin Grimes in the Knicks' starting lineup. Josh Hart also stands to benefit from Brunson's absence.
Quickley ($7,400) is the No. 4 and Hart ($6,300) is the No. 5 point-per-dollar value in numberFire's projections for Wednesday's eight-game slate, and they will carry additional upside if Barrett is ruled out. Per our NBA Heat Map, the Knicks’ implied total (119.0) is third-highest in the league today.
