Overview
- The Knicks are 8-5 but have been stung by league-worst-ish three-point numbers, allowing opponents to shoot 39.4% from deep.
- New York concedes the second-most made threes per game at 15.4 and the seventh-most attempts at 39.1.
- The approach prioritizes rim protection, with the Knicks giving up the fifth-fewest points in the paint at 45.7.
- A 115-113 loss to Miami underscored the issue as the Heat went 14-for-35 from three while New York shot 9-for-36.
- OG Anunoby is expected to miss at least two weeks with a hamstring strain, and the Knicks target progress starting with Wednesday’s road game against Dallas.
