Knicks Seek Eighth Straight Win as Brunson's Status Remains Uncertain
Jalen Brunson, coming off a 55-point performance, is questionable for the Knicks' rematch against the Wizards due to a calf injury.
- The Knicks are riding a seven-game winning streak, their longest of the season, powered by balanced scoring and standout performances from key players.
- Jalen Brunson scored 55 points in the Knicks' overtime win against the Wizards two days ago but is listed as questionable for tonight's game with right calf tightness.
- New York's offense ranks second in the NBA, with four players scoring 40 or more points in games this season, a historic milestone for the franchise before January 1.
- The Knicks' defensive struggles were evident in their last game, allowing a season-high 132 points, which they aim to address in tonight's matchup.
- The Wizards, showing gradual improvement after a 16-game losing streak, could see the return of Kyle Kuzma, sidelined since late November with a rib injury.
