Isaiah Hartenstein, Jericho Sims — Knicks' unconventional duo ... (The Athletic)

Can the Knicks stay hot? Thirteen of their next 16 games are against teams currently under .500, and 10 of those games are at home.

The point of a two-for-one is to time the final seconds of a quarter so that your team receives an extra possession. Think about it like this: two 3-pointers that each has a 20 percent chance of going in is the same amount of expected points as a 40 percent 3-point shooter taking one deep ball. The target is to get the ball on the rim with about 33 seconds to go in the quarter, which all but guarantees they will get the last shot. The only lineups that are better belong to the [Golden State Warriors](https://theathletic.com/nba/team/warriors/), whose starters still eviscerate teams; the [Boston Celtics](https://theathletic.com/nba/team/celtics/), who are arguably the title favorites; and the [Denver Nuggets](https://theathletic.com/nba/team/nuggets/), another title contender. But right now, anything that can go right for the Knicks is going right. Over these seven games, the Knicks’ starters have been the NBA’s best lineup, and New York is riding them. A 40 percent offensive rebound rate is the nerd equivalent of dropping 81 points in a game. The two usually team with [Miles McBride](https://theathletic.com/nba/player/miles-mcbride-oAGqFrARL1YNNWPT/), [Immanuel Quickley](https://theathletic.com/nba/player/immanuel-quickley-wfpT7zaohPj0ceDm/) and [RJ Barrett](https://theathletic.com/nba/player/rj-barrett-waDoLQ8ePOGskbya/), which means the top 3-point shooter in the newly formed second unit is Barrett, who’s at 30 percent from deep so far this season. The Knicks shot only 7 of 21 from the floor during that time. Sims, the quicker of the two, plays the four on defense, but he’s naturally a five. Both of the big men have made quick decisions on the perimeter when defenders help off them. The Knicks don’t use his facilitating skills the same way the

But the Knicks put up their own outside showcase, headlined by Brunson's return to form: the $104 million man hit all five of his attempts from the field after starting 1-of-5. 18 and has since taken over the role of the Knicks' primary shooting guard. In addition to reserves Quickley and Miles McBride, four of the Knicks' starters reached double figures.

How the Knicks defense is turning around their season (SB Nation)

Thibodeau didn't sit back and do nothing, however. After the Mavericks game, Thibodeau benched veteran Derrick Rose (who had played a regular role off the bench) ...

The Knicks won’t win every game and will have their ups and downs the rest of the way. The inverse tends to be true, though: playing defense with purpose and aggression provides energy to the team and all the individuals that make it up. The increased aggression and energy are contagious and even has Randle, notorious for some subpar efforts on that end, locked in. To win in the modern NBA, a defensive stopper on the wings is almost a must. The continued ball pressure from the Knicks guards funnels them to the big, and momentary space feels like freedom. Playing more at the level means corner defenders need to be tapped in and ready to rotate. This season, the Knicks are joining in a common NBA trend and forcing teams to the screen. They’re also sending their bigs toward the level of the screen as opposed to sitting back several feet back in the lane. Since that game, Rose has only logged three minutes in a blowout win, and Deuce has taken his spot in the rotation. Sims has always been an active defender, and his combination of length and athleticism allows him to overwhelm opponents, even when he’s switching onto the perimeter. They’re now up to 8th in the league in net defensive rating! Tom Thibodeau’s team has not lost a game since December 3rd and is the NBA’s hottest franchise.

NBA Odds: Raptors-Knicks prediction, odds and pick - 12/21/2022 (ClutchPoints)

The Toronto Raptors visit the New York Knicks on Wednesday night. We continue our NBA odds series with a Raptors-Knicks prediction and pick.

New York has been firing on all cylinders in recent games and needs to continue their style of play if they want to cover tonight. Their biggest strength comes on the glass where they rank sixth in both rebound differential and rebound rate. Forward Julius Randle continues to be one of the most consistent players in the league as the forward provides New York with a high ceiling on a night-to-night basis. They are similarly impressive on the glass as they rank 10th in rebound differential and 11th in rebound rate. Coach Thibodeau’s defense has been elite all year as the Knicks rank 11th in points allowed and seventh in defensive rating. He’s been even better across their recent win streak, averaging 25.3 PPG and 11.5 RPG in their last eight games. The Knicks are a strong all-around team, ranking 12th in scoring and 11th in offensive rating. The Raptors’ biggest issue lies on the offensive end where they rank 22nd in scoring and 15th in offensive rating. In a matchup between two teams headed in seemingly opposite directions, the Raptors will need their best players to show up on the offensive end of the court. He’s been the singular constant in an otherwise inconsistent season from Toronto and will need to continue to play well tonight if the Raptors want to cover a narrow road spread. The Knicks are 17-12-2 against the spread while 57% of their games have gone under. The Raptors are 15-16 against the spread while 52% of their games have gone over.

NBA Finds Knicks Guilty Of Tampering In Signing Ex-Maverick Jalen ... (Forbes)
