Matchup Breakdown
Knicks Outlook
New York ranks third in the NBA in made 3-pointers and seventh in 3-point percentage (38.3%). Karl-Anthony Towns has led the charge, averaging 26.4 points on 52% shooting, while Jalen Brunson continues to control tempo with 7.1 assists per game.
Defensively, the Knicks are allowing 111.9 points per game, fifth-best in the league, though their 39.5% 3-point defense ranks near the bottom. Still, their balance and home-court advantage make them a tough matchup for any team.
Grizzlies Outlook
Memphis has struggled to find rhythm offensively, averaging 113.7 points per game (22nd). Jaren Jackson Jr. and Santi Aldama provide rebounding and rim protection, but Ja Morant’s shooting woes have hurt spacing.
The Grizzlies remain top-five in pace and rank eighth in free throws made per game, showing flashes of their old fast-break identity. To compete in this spot, Memphis must push tempo and attack the paint to offset its perimeter issues.
